Word comes to the city of the stops taken by a number of soldiers in east ern camps who have entered their dis charges, with no result, and are at the present time "loaflng around" at camp without opportunity of return ing to their former positions. One local young man, sergeant in the motor transport company «t Camp Humphreys, Virginia, writes an inter esting letter to friends in the city de tailing the efforts made on the part of fche boys to get their discharges!' Representative Tilson of Connecti cut, after having investigated demob ilisation problems, declared. that he would introduce legislation to Vompel the^discharge of all men who show thai they have dependents or that they must return immediately to their business. "Titled officers who want to make their Jobs more important and more permanent are to blame," he said. "These under-officers do not send the applications for discharge to the commanding officers as required by the war depanrtment, and' in some cases the commanding officers them selves have told the lower officers not to send them the applications* Representative Tilson 'quoted from the war department orders as fol Tj CONGRESS'AD FOR RELEASE Circular No. 17. "First, department commanders within the United States, commanders of ports of embarkation and comman ders of camps not under the jurisdic tion of department commanders or the chiefs of bureaus of the war de partment, are authorized to discharge enlisted men upon their own applica tion when there is sickness or other distress in the soldier's family or when he is needed to resume employment in an industry or occupation in which there is urgent need of his services, provided that,such discharge will not disrupt or cripple an existing organic zation and*that the soldier's services can be spared." "War Department, Jan. 6, 1919: Circular No. 6. "First. Applications for immediate 'discharge under the provisions of Cir cular No. 77, war department, 1918, will be acted upon as expeditiously as possible and the applicant will be in formed without unnecessary delay of the action taken. Deserving cases should be investigated and where the applicants have not correctly or fully stated their reasons for asking im mediate charge, officers should render such assistance as may be necessary to correct them so that the applica tions may be properly presented and acted upon." Orders Said to be Disregarded.. "I have personally investigated sev eral cases where men were said to be necessary in camp asnd found them do ing nothing. This lack of responsibili ty will in the end tend to sap all the vitality and ambition the soldier ever -possessed and the country will wake up to find on its hands a bunch of lazy, shiftless men," said Mr. Tilson. "The circulars have not been fairly acted upon by the subordinate officers and subordinate commanders. Army officers," he further said, "should act in good faith under these, circulars and not in accord with their own con venience. Marine Releases on Merit. "In the navy similar orders have been issued, but they have been acted upon in a much more intelligent and satisfactory way. The marine corps is still better. The marine corps is very desirous of holding its men, especially its good men, and yet there is hardly a case of complaint from the marine corps, because they are considering on its merits each individual case, and because they do not desire to keep eyei good men where the reasons are the other way and where they ought to be permitted to return to thelt families or their business. "If this thing goes on here this is what is going to happen: The army service is going to be made the least services" °Ur m,litary or naval "Y" Secretary's Viewpoint. interview with John Lewtas, J- C. A. secretary, who is visiting in the city, the manner in which de mobilization is progressing was de scribed as follows: "In the two months which have elapsed since the signing of the armi stice, the government has made much more decided progress in their de mobilization than any one city will perceive. At Camp Custer men are Joeing discharged in large numbers but due to transportation impedi ments the demobilization at Camp Lewis is noticeably slow.- It is the policy of the government to demobil ize slowly," says Mr. Lewtas, "because of the lack of employment. If all the men were to be given their dis charges at once, cities and towns would be crowded with unemployed men. Many soldiers are incapacitat ed after sickness and are not physical ly fit to resume their former posi tions For this reason the war de partment is far sighted enough to see that hurried demobilization would mean ruin to many soldiers and to the country as a whole."

Snyder, head of the-food administra tion's meat division, said today that despite a hog surplus he would not recommend abandonment of the price agreement policy when the hog com mittee meets January 28 to consider the price for- February. The present surplus, Mr. Snyder predicted, would turn into a definite deficit this year. He said the pendu lum would swing within three months if Europe could get the money and ship? to take its requirements. Under the price agreement policy the basic price of hogs was main tained In October at $ IS. SO aiid'at $17.50 during the last three months. Mr. Snyder said the food adminis tration In honor could not recommend the abandonment of the agretixfeent with the producers as it was baited on the cost of production and was made to stimulate hog breeding to feed the Allies. The administration undertook to "stabilize the price so the farmers could count- on getting for each 100 pounds of hog ready for market thir teen times the average cost per bush#) of corn fed into the hogs," he. said, and it now ''means to do justice to the farmer." Application of the principle, it was explained, will depend on any changed conditions. Pointing that out of the 4.500,000 hogs marketed In this country every month, half are purchased outside. Mr. Snyder said If the food administration forced a loss on the farmer at this 'time in violation of its pledges. In response to a demand of the Chicago hoard of trade. It would too for the benefit of foi-elgn pure|iasers and not the pack ers. A drop of lit, he said, would Involve a loss to the farmer of about llt0.900.M0.

(By Staff Correspondent.) Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 21.—Three more important administration bills were introduced in the house this aft ernon by the state affairs committee.

The bonds are to be sold in denom inations of from $5 to $10,000 and are to bear interest at a rate not greater than 10 per cent.
