Thursday evening as train No. 20

too much booze or too much dope,
probably a combination of both. He

train men called in an officer at Lyons
and Burns was brought to Vegas and
landed in the county Jail.

 In brief, the government is to conduct a business college of nation wide scope, for the exclusive benefit of the men disabled in the war. It will not only educate the man, but will make every effort to have him properly placed in some useful enterprise that will guarantee him a decent living until his usefulness has ceased.
 In many respects the re-edu- cation plan will follow the con- tinental scheme, but there will be many new lines of industry for the disabled, which are pc culiarly pertinent to American life.
 One of the leaders in the gov ernment's re-education cam paign is MT. $. $. Rowe, assist ant secretary of the treasury. He has advised all of the prin- cipal army and navy eXecu- tivcs of the plan, and has urg- ed them to let the country at large know as much as possible concerning it.
 The re-education plan is part of the insurance contract the government is making with its , fighting men under the war in surance act. The plan includes the army, navy, marine corps coast guard, naval reserves national navy volunteers, nur- ses, and all other branches of the army and navy.
 The operation of this insur ance plan was automatically started with the loss of the ] transport Antilles" Eacl

WILL CARE FOR DUR SOLDIERS
 AF TER WAR
(By Associated Press)

SAN fRANC1SCO, NOV. ZZ. The United States govern ment is not going to turn its disabled soldiers out into the world to make their living as best they may. When they are rendered unfit for service through facing the hazards of war, they are to be educated for some line of work which will allow for their disability, and 1t will all be done at gov eTnment expense, according to announcement by the western department of the army here.
 Regular vocational courses for the blind, and the lame are to be established in all parts of the country. When the men have finished these courses they will be enabled to go into the world well equipped to make their own living.
 During this term of re-edu- cation the government will al low the men their full army pay, and their families will also be provided for. Further legis- lation is expected outlining the re-education plan more partic- ularly.
 It will be the first time the government has entered on the re-education plan on a large scale. This work is being done

widow of an "Antilles" victim receives $50 a month. The money to pay widows will come from the second Liberty Loan.
 Every man in the military forces of the United States Is now insured regardless of whether he signed fop such in surance or not. This ruling will remain in force until every man in the service has had a chance to get thorough ac- quainted with the terms of the war insurance bill.
 Thus the Antilles widows who are entitled to a compon- sation of $25 a month will re- ceive an additional insurance for 24 months of $25 under the terms of this law.
