He had been able to boast of a long, active and varied career in the army. Now, just in the closing years of his military life, was to come the supreme oppor- tunity for him to add a cap-stone of glory to the dis- tinguished record. ' And in the very act of entraining for the debarkation camp fell the blow that to Gen. Greene meant both cruel disappointment and disgrace. The reason for the summary action of the war depart- however, that the principal, if not the sole reason, grew out of charges of graft and favoritism in connection with the awarding of concessions at Greene park, the amusement area of Camp Lewis. So far as The Star has ever been able to ascertain, nobody accused the commanding officer of profiting a nickel’s worth from the shady transactions in question or having ® But where Gen. Greene probably was blamable was in refusing to listen to warnings and petitions setting forth the charges against certain members of his staff and a few civilians who were in on the despicable business. Gen. Greene was loyal to the men directly under him, felt them to be his friends, believed whole-heartedly in their integ- rity and refused brusquely even to hear evidence against them. He was a victim of the double-cross. The grafters knew .his weakness (admirable © weakness, it might be called), afd relied upon it. They escaped punishment and even * exposure, for the greater part, and let the blow, when it came, fall on the head of the and chicanery. ‘ _gtern,. upright old soldier who did not understand the language of commercial graft War had its tragedies at home as well as in the trenches.
