THE NEW IDEA.

No longer is the crippled soldier to
be relegated to a life of idleness and
dependence No longer is it conceiv-
ed that "A niggardly pension should
constitute the sole compensation for
the sacrifice of his able bodied powers
at the front.
The new conception of national re-
sponsibility toward the war cripple
calls for his rehabilitation for self
support. If he cannot, by reason of
his disablement. return TO his former
occupation, he must be trained for a
new one in which his physical handi-
cap is no drawback If he has lost
one or both legs he must be provided
with artificial substitutes and re-
educated-as the French call it-for
trade in which the hands and arms
only are required.
From this new policy the greatest
advantage is to the man himself for,
as soon as he realizes the pOssibili-
ties. the future opens up as one of
usefulness and encouragement rather
than one of helplessness and despond-
ency Next is the gain to the nation,
for i'm this process of re-education an
idle dependent has been transformed
into Il happy and contented wage

ALnST 0PPORTTNITY.

With the belief that a golden op-
portunity for hearing an eloquent
speaker in the Federal Department Of
Agriculture has been lost. the local
Food Administrator and his coadju-
tors were disappointed that Annapo-
lis failed TO turn out a sufficient num-
her for an audience to justify the
speaker, the Hon. Clarence Ousley,
Special Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture. to make an address as SEIZED
uled on last Thursday night on The
Food Situation"
That the speaker. a busy man, laid
aside other duties to respond TO a
call from this city's headquarters, and
did so at great inconvenience to him
self, and after arriving here had not
sufficient numbers TO address, is a
source OF regret 10 those who know
the subject matter of the proposed
speech and the helpfulness it's in

tives, should be induced to come here

NO NEED FOR ATTORNEYS.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
announced that neither the soldiers.
sailors. nor their dependents or any
beneficiaries under the soldier and
sailor insurance law need employ at
torneys or claim agents to collect the
insurance: that the employment of
such Intermediates is unnecessary
and iuadvisable and a needless ex-
pense
The procedure for the presentation
and collection of insurance claims is
very simple and the proper blanks
can be secured from the Bureau of
War-Risk insurance in Washington.
The name of the person in the serv-
ice who was killed or injured and the
relationship which he bore TO the per
son making the claim should be given.
If further information or assistance
is required by the claimant the Blu
reau of War-Risk Insurance will
gladly furnish it.
Circulars have been sent out by
claim agents and attorneys offering
TO assist persons entitled TO the bene-
fits Of this insurance in collecting
their claims. The pension sharks"
who once thrived and fattened under
our pension laws, are still a rank
memory in this country.
1t was hoped that when they were
legislated out of existence we would
never see their like again. But their
successors seem TO survive. and the
action of Secretary McAdoo in Civ
ing prompt warning against these
would-be profteers under the insur-
ance law will be commended by all.
