APPEALS TO PRESIDENT
!. TO VOID WAR DRY ACT
Representative Dyer Cables Repeal
That Measure Has No Chance
of Success.

Cabled appeal to President Wilson
that he should issue a proclamation
declaring wartime prohibition void
was made by Representative Dyer of
Missouri yesterday. This was done
in view of the apparent determination
of Congress to let the law stand. In
the cablegram he stated that public
hearings had gone far enough to sat-
isfy him that repeal measures had no
chance with the House judiciary COM
mittee. Hope was expressed that the
President would take action on his
own authority at once.
II cabled President Wilson," said
Mr.. Dyer. that we had given consid-
Grafton in the judiciary committee to
some bills for repeal of wartime pro-
hibition, to the extent of permitting
the sale of beer and light wines. We
have gone far enough, 1 told him, in
consideration of these matters for me
to know there was no chance of the
committee recommending any bill of
that kind l told the President / felt
the only hope was that he should take
action under authority l felt he had,
and that he should do so at once to
relieve the situation"
Mr.. Dyer and other members of the
judiciary committee. who have felt
that a repeal measure would not be
reported out. have contended that the
President would have full power after
July to declare by proclamation that

DISABLED ARE URGED
TO ASK COMPENSATION
Former Service Men Appealed to
by Director of War Risk
Bureau.

Every man who has been in the
military service of the United States,
and who on account of such service
Is not physically able to enter at
once into a gainful occupation, is
urged by Director r. G. Cholmeley-
Jones Of the bureau of war risk in
surance to present Immediately his
claim for compensation.
During the summer of 1918 there
was a general combing out of the
training camps of the country with
a view to bringing up the standard
or physical fitness" says statement
issued by the bureau today, "and a
vast number of men discharged at
that time are unaware of their rights
to compensation and hospital treat
ment.
Under the law the bureau is
charged with providing compensa-
t1on and free medical attention to all
service men discharged because of
disability, until such time as they
are restored to physical fitness Every
possible effort is being made by the
bureau to bring their rights in this
matter to the attention of the men,"
Attention is directed to the recent
statement of the Chicago health officer
that in Chicago there are at least a
thousand discharged soldiers and
sailors affected with tuberculosis
who are subjected to unnecessary ex-
posure and hardships. All such cases,
1t is said. should be at once presented
to the bureau of war risk insurance.
