That the mat t« is one that involves the neglect of woundol and disabled veterans of the world war is the oustanding shame of Uie whole affair, for it has been a trafficking in the minds and I bodies of men who fought and suf ; icred at the command of this coun try to follow the flag in the fiercest and bloodiest battles in the history of the woild. That republican party i leaders are dismayed at the turn exents are taking, that the repub lican party itself is in a state of con sternation at even the little news of the investigation now umler way which is leaking out is in e\idence whenever tlie re is a gathering of it* members.

Though . official reports are not yet available, statements and interviews which |come from those at work on the probe ' reveal a state of affairs that is crim inal in the treatment of the ex-ser vice men which no apology or ex plication can sweep aside. It is a national scandal that is now bring j broueht to the attention of the peo- I pie of this country, one that demands ineed ofr action by evidence which is . infecting. Proof that the charges of out rage - jin the conduct of the Veterans* bu • reau have not lieen over drawn, but j wen* ia fact short of the mark is eiven by the preliminary prol«e con , ducted under tlie direction of Major j t *eneral John F.
