the. men who have valid claims will
in the near future receive their
checks" said Secretary Baker.
The Secretary said 100000 men
had been lost either through the war
or because of it..
This means that in yirile, active

point out that one of the results of the

IN the canal was a material boost in

the government to step tut at this

The United States built ten barges
and placed them in service on the
canal last season Closing of the
waterway would put out of business
about eighty other boats owned by
the towage company. Despite the
