SERVICE men MAY
GET COMPENSATION
LEGION BUREAU SETS FORTH
PROCEDURE NECESSARY FOR
MEDICAL EXAMINATION.

Watertown, Dec. 20.-In answer
to inquiries from ex-service men as
to the method to be pursued in sub
mitting to a medical examination
within one year from discharge, with
a view to determining whether or not
they are afflicted with an ailment
which was the result of their former
war service. the local post Of the
American legion has the following on
the subject: 1t does not indicate,
however, who are authorized examin-
ing physicians, but an effort has been
made to secure this information at
an early date for the benefit of the
members:
"1n the event that a man discharg-
ed from the service develops a dis
ability of compensate degree sub
sequent to separation from the serv-
ice, which our medical department
will say is traceable to the service.
we will pay compensation to him dur
ing the existence of disability and at
his death we will pay compensation
to his wife, child or dependentpar-
ents.
"The method of applying for COM
pensatiOn is the same in this case as
In cases where the disability is ap-
parent at the date of discharge.
"1n the event that the disability
does not occur prior to or within one
year after discharge or resignation
from the service, in order to permit
us to pay compensation it will be
necessary for the claimant to furnish
us with certificate from the di-
rector of the bureau. showing that
at the time of his discharge or resig-
nation he was suffering from an in
jury likely to result in death or
ability.
The act also states that no COR
pensation is payable for any disabil-
ity for any period more than two
years prior to the date OF the claim. /"

Finds Shooting
Was Justifiable

Mclaughlin, Dec. 20.-Justifiable
homicide was the verdict of the cor
oner's jury which investigated the
death of Howard Smith of Selfridge.
s. D.. who was shot to death by Joe
Swift. also of Selfrdge. The shoot
ing was the outcome OF Selfridge's q
recent "tar and feather party" of
which Smith was the victim. It is
alleged that since that time Smith
Ghad been toting gun with the de-
sire to "get even" with his assail-
antse. The recent shooting Of Swift's
dog also entered into the condition
Of bad feeling between the two men.
When Swift charged Smith with
shooting the canine. the latter drew
q gun. 9wift's draw was quicker
and Smith fell dead.

.[EG|ONERS ASK
SPEEDY ACTION
THAT SOMETHING MUST BE
DONE AT ONCE.

Washington, d. C.. Dec. 90
Speedy action was demanded of con-
gress on all matters affecting the
governments dealings with former
service men, in resolutions adopted
last night by national and state Of
ficers of the American legion at the
conclusion of a three-day conference
with officials of the war risk insur-
ance bureau. The resolutions also
warned congress of the imperative
necessity of providing relief for men
who have met with injustice through
the inadequacy of the laws under
which the present insurance and
compensation regulations are admin
istered. Throughout the afternoon
session, an evident spirit of concern
was evidenced that the legion's pow
er must be exerted IL the nation is
not to undergo again the burden Of
pension payments. The pension sys-
tenn was characterized by delegate
after delegate as unnecessary and
unjust and as adding a burden on the
coming generation which the tax
payers of these years should
shoulder.
Brigadier General Lord, director
of finance of the war department;
". w. Lambkin, chief of the re-
Mobilization division of the federal
board for vocational education, and
Surgeon Leavander. representing the
public health service. appeared and
were questioned closely in regard to
the activities of their departments.
Specific cases were employed in rapid
succession by the legion delegates in
developing complaints of inefficiency
and an illustration on changes in ad-
ministrative practice requested by
the former service men.
Franklin D'Olier, grand command
er assured the government officials
that the legion had no specific oom-
plaint against them but that such
must not be interpreted to mean the
legion did not recognize failure on
the part of the war risk bureau, the
public health service and the voca-
tional education board ''to function
satisfactorily

which the practice of economy of the
severest type becomes absolutely es-
sential If we hope to place our fis-
cal operations on a sound basis and
avoid dangerous financial situa-
tions''
AS to where the reductions will
be made, Mondell said:
Estimates for the army, of nearly
$1,OO0,00O,000 should be reduced by
at least half. The estimates for civil
sundry expenditures should stand a
heavy reduction. The estimates for
Notifications will stand the heaviest
cut of all. The naval estimates may
be largely reduced without impair
ing the efficiency of the naval estab-
lishment.
River and harbOr estimates also
