Ev- is familiar with th Ger , ::ggx{lsefrom Berlin, wrought all the damage wlt.hm thelr_power to the great steamship Vaterland when she was interned in New York harbor. When our nation entered the war the Germans determined that the Vaterland should never be any use to us. After our declaration of war, when our naval officers hoarded the Vaterland they were appa ; ; that met their eyes. The machinery and equipment were in yuins. It was not believed at first that any. except German. work- men, familiar with the pceuliar construction and possessing ‘the original plans, could restore the vessel to her former condition. But some of our marine experts thought differently and they were given their chance. All the world knows the result. ‘Within an incredibly short time the Vaterland, rechristened the Leviathan, was carrying United States soldiers across the sea, 10,000 at a time. Now for the ot of from a passenger to a troopship was not so difficult. But re- cently when our shipping board proposed to restore the big vessel to its original condition as a passenger and freight car- rier it had no plans from which to w.ork. 1t asked the Germans| for the original plans and specifications and the reply was that| it could have them for one million dollars. A hold up, of course. | T The Germans imagined the job could never be accomplished without the original plans. / Now comes word that American experts, in thg face of great discouragement, turned to and began preparing plans for the work and they have just been completed at a cost not of a million, but of a quarter of a million dollars. To obtain in- formation concerning the vessel which the Germans had ready to hand, it was necessary to employ a big force of experts.| Exact measurements of every portion of the giant vessel had to be made from stem to stern. The magnitude of the task may not be apparent to the layman, but technical experts say it was enormous. Now our men have the double satisfaction of having saved | the hold-up money and defeated the rapacity of the Germans.| It is a sjory of typical American pluck, enterprise and ingenuity,‘ the combination that won the war. | NN JUSTICE FOR VETERANS i One of the most disgraceful scandals arising from our part in the world war has been in connection with the treatment by the government of the war veterans who went to France 100 per cent men physically, but who returned home leaving behind one or more limbs, or who brought back with them shattered nerves and broken health. It is with a feeling of satisfaction,! therefore, that one reads Washington dispatches telling that| President Harding, who has not yet served a month as chiet executive, has already ordered an investigation of the whole| matter and will demand speedy action by congress when it meets April 11. | For many months there has been dissatisfaction as to the| treatment accorded these victims of the great war and in some; instances this dissatisfaction reached the stage of direct charges. | Notwithstanding the determination of the American people that mnothing shall be too good for the boys who risked their lives| in defense of their country, nothing was done to make it p]ain} that all that could be done was being done. H President Harding, in the intenseness of his real red-blood-| ed Americanism, has evidently determined not to relegate this question, which is a real test of the true spirit of Americanism,| to the drawer of his desk, where things to be forgotten are to be| filed. In a methodical and business-like way he made a con- ference with the very men who have made this matter of treat-| ment of the soldier boys a study—the men who know and who| are capable of advising—and he learned from them the actual; conditions. | What President Harding learned at that conference quickly moved him to action and the entire matter is to be quickly in- vestigated, and if the president has his way congress will be as| quick to act as he is. That there will be a complete change in! the system_—a change that will be in keeping with the history of the republican party and its treatment of soldiers of previous wars, there can be no question. | . The great body of citizens is as intensely interested in see- 1 mg.that t!:e veterans of the world war are given their just dues| as it was in winning the war, and it will view with great delight; thetfromptness with which President Harding has taken up the| matter.
