NINE BILLION X WAR WASTE

(Coatiaaed from Pag* 1).

places 1150,000,600 for port terminal* from which no ship daring the war ever salted. 4—A port terminal was begun, in a bog and swamp ten miles up; the river from Charleston and after $20,000,000 had been spent in construction it was found that ships could not reach the terminal until the river had been dredged for the purpose. s—-For nitrate, plants $120,000,000 was spent in, a visionary scheme end not a pound of nitrate was. produced. Practically $100,000,000 of this sum was sunk at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and the War Department now asks additional millions to turn the abortive nitrate plants into fertilizer producers about the feasibility of which experts differ. ' 6—For powder plants $160,000- ( 000 was spent and not a pound was made in them. The one at Nitro,; West Virginia, eost, $70,000,000 and was sold recently for $8,000,000 with the prospect that the government will never 'get very much of the eight million. 7—There was $1,000,000,000 spent for shells and only 17,000 American shells' were fired by the American forces in the war. We fired very often as many as 500,000 in a single barrage on a single morning; we had to bRy or beg them from our Allies. B—We spent $1,051,000,000 preparing to manufacture aeroplanes; we did not produce one fighting machine. We did make a purely bombing plane——a few of them. All we made and sent to the front in France were 213 observation planes and they were dangerous and defective. 0 ’ 9—For tanks we spent SIOO,000,000. The first American .tank did not reach France until after the armistice had been signed and the war was over. '' 10—There was $117,000,000 expended for the manufacture of gas. There never was a pound of gas fired on the battle front in American shells. 11—Guns cost us (to make in this* country) $478,000,000. We only succeeded in getting 48 of the 4.7-inch guns and 24. of the 8-inch howitzers —a total of 72 American guns—to where our boys in battle could use them. Such is the story of extravagance and inefficiency of Ahe War Department. The same is true to some extent

of the Naty establishment. The War and Navy Departments together spent within a radius of 25 miles of Norfolk, Va., $250,000,000 for the construction .of cantonments, warehouses, and training’stations where it has been found impossible to get a supply of water sufficient to meet their needs. The Navy Department -put one training camp in _ nea j Norfolk at a cost of $7,000,000 and every dollar of it, as now disclosed, will be lost. * _ - , “The people,” said Representative Denison, “may as well understand who is responsible for the awful revelations which these investigations are disclosing. Gentlemen from North Caroline and Tennessee say there is an attempt being made to discredit the President. Mt will not work. “The facts and figures show that the waste and ineffective investments of such a considerable part of the $34,000,0.00,000 war expenditures has been dUe largely to the autocratic alid dictatorial encroachment by the President on the constitutional privileges of Congress and the servile submission of tne Democratic majority in- the House which together prevented the ap : pointment of a joint committee tosupervise war expenditures, thereby opposing and ending any action being taken at the beginning to prevent or at, least Jessen the probability of such waste.”

OBITUARY OF JAMES A. MAY SR.

James Allen May was born in । Green Brier county, Virginia, on; March 19, 1843. He was the,sixth: child of George and Mary May who emigrated from Virginia to Indiana whfen the deceased was about four years of age. The father and mother of James A, May were sturdy Virginia farmers and continued this sort of work after settling down to life in Jasper county, Indiana. The trip .was made most of the way by boat down the Ohio and up the Wabash river to Lafayette. They came ,to Remington from Lafayette by ox team where the family endured the pioneer hardships on the farm now kdown as the May farm, just east .of the present town of Remington. The present .residence of Robert May was a part of the pioneer tjpme of this family. When the civil war broke out ne was a lad of eighteen. The young man possessed a militant patriotic spirit that led to his volunteering at Elkhart, Indiana, where he served in the 48th regiment of Indiana Volunteers, Company K, along with many, other young men from Jasper coimty. His still younger brother, Jacob, volunteered a little ■ hater ar Pittsburg, Pa. The latter was taken prisoner by the confederates and placed in the Andersonville prison. White confined in this prison he was taken-out by the Confederates and commanded to fire a bridge over which a victorious- Union army was approaching and intending to cross. A pathetic coincident occurred at this time and place between the two brothers. James A. May was among the victorious Union men who were firing on the Confederates who were firing the bridge. This pathetic coincident wrung tears from these brothers’ eyes upon numerous occasions in later life when they would get together and I tell about the affair- The story of < their experiences upon this occasion is known by all of the immediate members of their respective families artd ujill be a family tradition for generations to come. James A. May fought at Pittsburg Landings Look Out Mountain, Chattanooga, Port Hudson, and numerous other battles of national importance, March from Atlanta to Sevannah and north to Richmond. He was under Grant until transferred to Sherman in 1864. He was wound-' ed at Vicksburg July 9, 1864, and carried a crippled hand to his final resting place today. After returning from the war he* was married to Isabelle Southard who died in 1916. To this marriage nine children were born: George E. May,

Remington, Ind: Frank May, Remington, Ind.; John R. May, Wolcott, Ind.; James A. May, Jr., Lisbon, N. Dak.; William May, McComb, Miss.; Fred May, Denver, Colorado; Alta Stuart, Remington, Ind.; Nellie Sterrett, Rensselaer, Ind.; and Belle May, Remington, Ind. All of these children survive their father. The children were taught to work from the time they were old enough to do so. Although the deceased was ostensibly harsh arid extraordinarily firm with his children yet they learned to love’ the man whose warm heart, tender hands and kind words nursed every one of them through many a night of sickness as is peculiar to all ftfge families of children. He was known by. his children and neighbors as one of the warmest friends 'to them when in need. The deceased is also survived by twenty-five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.oAH of his sisters preceded him in death. They were Elizabeth Gray, Jane Guy, Ann Courtney and Sara Roberts. Of his three brothers two of them are still living. They are Robert May, Remington, Ind., and John Y. May, Goodland, Ind. v His other brother was Jacob May, referred to above in thft obituary, died at Remington a little over a year agoDeath came to James A. May on Friday at 6:50 in the morning, July 23, 1920. He had been a sufferer for the last ten years of rheumatism contracted in the army and later from his hard work dustrious man and \ continued to

at ■ manual labor until about six years ago* when he became an invalid. He remained indoors, either in bed or in his wheel chair and was unable to get around except by help. He bore his pains with patience and was always sensitive to his great care upon his children, jrhere was always a wholesome welcome extended to his children, grandchildren, neighbors and friends, whenever they came to his home. Of the more than seventy-seven * years of his life, fifty of them had been given to the maintenance of a home for his family. The death of this father will end the home that has been so- highly cherished by his nine'children for over a half century.
