ticularly il such death or disability
is not likely to occur until at least
one year has expired from the date of
resignation or discharge. Otherwise,
recovery of compensation for dis
ability or death which occurs later
than one year after discharge or re-
signation will be barred even though
the injury from which it resulted ex-
listed at the time of discharge or re-
signation or appeared within one
year thereafter.
Each officer and man is given a
thorough medical examination at the
time he is mustered out of the SER
vice. If he is found to be suffering
from an injury which creates present
disability or which may subsequent
ly result in his death or disability, he
is instructed at that time to file with
the Compensation Section of the Blu
reau claim for compensation on
Form 526 and a certified copy of the
certificate of the medical examiner
who gave him his final medical ex-
animation will be attached to said
Form 526. If it is found that the
injured officer or enlisted man is
entitled to compensation, an award
is made at once. II found to be suf-
fering from an injury which is like
ly at some subsequent time to result
in death or disability, but for which
he is entitled to compensation at
that tim because it has not produced
disability warranting compensation,
such finding upon his application will
bring him within the exception noted
above, and a certificate will be is
sued.

at tn etime of resig1( fea or dis
charge, the officer I - listed man is
not found to be suffering from any
injury which authorizes an award of
compensation or is likely to result in
death or disability, but if such injury
becomes apparent later and within
one year after discharge or resigna-
ton, the officer or enlisted man
should at once write to the Compensa
ton Section, Bureau of War Risk In
surance, Washington. D. c., stating
all of the facts necessary for his
Identification, such as name in full,
Army serial number, rank, organiza-
ton address at time of enlistment,
and present address, and ask that
Forms 526 and 504 be sent to him.
Upon the return to the Compensation
Section of Form 526 properly filled
out and executed by the applicant,

the required physical examination
followed by the return to the Com

erly filled out and executed by the
physicians before whom the applica-
ton was instructed by the Compen-

Red Cross Starts
and Stays With Them

AS the Goddess of Liberty is one
of the first objects the returning SOL
der sees as he reaches the home
port, so is the Greatest Mother in the
godspeed as he embarks in France,
for the ministrations of the American
Red Cross that have followed him to
the battlefield continue right up to
the gang-plank as he turns his face
toward home. In keeping with its
policy to serve the soldier from the
time he leaves home until he re-
turns the Red Cross has established
farewell stations at all the French
embarkation ports.
At Bordeaux the American mill
tary authorities have placed at the
disposal of the Red Cross an enor-
nous warehouse located on the Bas
sens wharves, where the homebound
American soldiers embark. Inside
the warehouse is a canteeE where
hot drinks and sandwiches are serv-
ed to the men passing through and
opposite is a booth for the distribu-
ton of magazines, cigarettes, hand
kerchiefs, toothbrushes, pajamas and
other parting gifts. The whole place
is decked with the colors of the AL
lies and as the soldiers pass through
they are served by the same Ameri-
can Red Cross workers who have
helped the American fighter ever
since he has been in France.
The end of the warehouse IS
vast room, equipped for the 1ecep-
ton and debarkation of the wounded
and convalescent, with cots whereon
they may rest while waiting to go
aboard ship. Similar arrangements
have been made at all the other en-
barkation ports, that no soldier may
sail for home without an appropri-
ate farewell.

Execution To 0ne-Year
Limitation Upon Applications
For Compensations

1t must be borne in mind that any
.lcovery of compensation whatsoev-
er is always subject to the limitations
that compensation is granted only
fer death or disability resulting from
personal injury suffered or disease
contracted in the line of duty, (see
Act, Sec. 800; A. R. C. POI, I'd. ed,
Par. 145), and that a dismissal or
dishonorable or bad conduct dis
charge from the service will bar and
terminate all right to any compensa-
ton. Act, Sec. 30S.)
Section 3O6 of the War Risk In
surance Act, reads as follows:
That no compensation shall be
payable for death or disability which
does not occur prior to or within one
year after discharge or resignation
from the service, except that where,
after medical examination made
pursuant to regulations, at the time
of discharge or resignation from the
service, or within such reasonable
time thereafter, not exceeding one
year, as may be allowed by regula-
lions. a certificate has been obtained
from the director to. the effect that
the injured person at the time of his
discharge or resignation was suffer
ing from injury likely to result in
death or disability, compensation
shall be payable for death or disa-
bility, whenever occurring, proxi-
mately resulting from such injury"
The exception stated in the fore
going quotation from the War Risk
Insurance Act is of great Importance
because it permits recovery for death
or disability-no matter when such
death or disability may occur If
within one year after discharge or
resignation the injured person pro-
cures from the director of the Bureau
a certificate to the effect that at the
time of his discharge or resignation
he was suffering from an injury like
ly to result in death or disability.
This provision removes the one year
limitation from cases which come
within the exception.
1t is important that officers ana en-
listed men who resign, or are honor
ably discharged, avail themselves of
the benefits of this exception where
they are suffering at the time of dis
charge or resignation, or find them
selves suffering within a year after
their discharge or resignation, from
an injury likely to result in death or
disability at some later time, par

Bobolink Restored to Favor.

By reason Of its depredations on
the rice fields, the bobolink was form
erly rated the most destructive feath-
cred creature on this continent. But
the rice has moved away from the path
of its migration, and on this account
it has become almost harmless. Hence
forward we may admire the protean
bobolink without qualification, and,
protected against its only important
enemy, man, it will doubtless become
a much more numerous species.

Peculiar Articles Of Commerce.

Dried lizards are said to be an arti-

into this country. They come from
China, to supply demand by Chinese
residents in the United States. They
are supposed to possess much medi-

and mixed with certain other curative
substances. The Chinese used dried
toads for tonic, sailed scorpions for
smallpox and fossil crabs as an anti
dote for poison.

Pone Is a word of Indian derivation
and an early English historian Of Vir-

not from the Latin pants, meaning
bread, but from the red Indian word
oppone, and it was early applied in
the south to any bread made of Indian
