Following his appearance at a

jat which Mr, VanZandt was the

| burgh Post-Cagette revealed in an
editorial the amazing fact thal our

[all of which newspapers are pledged

Mr. VanZandt, whose display of
poetic license for walking whe
angels fear to tread, gave a Belie-

the record” military some
time ago, which was astou for
its indiscretion. Not all comment
was flattering.
Turn to the editorial page of this
issue and read the Post-Gasetic's’
analyses of a congressman whom it
characterises as one who “himself
apparently does not take certain as-
pects of the war very seriously

blabbing war statistics which the
enemy would lke to have”
