working night and day in making COM
pensation awards.
The medical division has just COM
plcted very trying and difficult task
the preparation Of a schedule of dis
ability ratings for different injuries
and combinations Of injuries, based on
500 per month as compensation for to-
tai disability. If the Sweet bill Oh. r.
877S) becomes law, all compensation
for disability will be based upon $10O
per month as ii maximum instead OF
upon $50 as at present. This schedule
is necessarily very complicated, being
designed to cover all probable combina-
tions and degrees of injuries, and
must be revised from time to time In
accordance with the bureaus expert
ence in order that full justice may be
done in all cases.
"Unquestonably, the government In.
surance contracts will be constantly
improved, as experience indicates the
need for improvements, and 1t Is de.
cidedly to the advantage Of all of US
to hold the maximum amount of this
government insurance" adds the di.
rector.
Reinstatement Of Insurance.
"a recent treasury decision has auth
orized the reinstatement Of govern
ment insurance within IS months after
discharge by the payment Of only two
months premiums on the amount of In
surauce to be reinstated, one covering
the month of grace during which the
policy was in force, and one for the
month IN which reinstatement Is made.
This is very generous provision, and
will make it possible for all eX-service
men to retain their government insur-
ance after they have become adjusted
again in their normal civil life. Indeed,
! look for very heavy reinstatement
and conversion as soon as the Sweet
bin passes the senate and becomes an
act and 1t is made known to all those
who are affected.
THE bureau appreciates tremendous
ly the cooperation it has had from
the Insurance. officials and the men Of
the insurance profession. and it Is to
he regretted that there are some few
who disregarded their moral obligation
to assist the eX-service men by encour-
aging the men to drop their govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
in private companies. 1t Is my per-
SOnal opinion tSat all eX-service men
in such instances should combine In
their disapproval Of such action, and
should in some forCeful way express
their utter disgust for those who are
found guilty Of such practices Indeed,
in the years to come. | feel confident
that In such cases where ex-ServiCe
men have been advised in such way as
to allow them to lose their government
insurance. that there will be at least
one man in the world whom the eX-
service men will utterly despise, and
distrust, and that will be the I'M
scrupulous agent who In q time Of test
was found wanting" -

War Department
Facilitates Investigation

The special Congressional Com
mittee which was recently Gre
ated for the purpose of investi-
eating war expenditures has al
ready received a reply to its re-
cent request to the Secretary OF
War for certain information
necessary to begin work. The
secretary's promptness in fur
nishing this information is es-
pecially gratifying, since it in
dicates that there will be no at
tempt to interfere with the work
of the Committee. The war ex-
\penditures have Of course been
extremely heavy and it is not
unlikely, that, in the handling OF
these big sums there may have
been irregularities by a few un-
scrupulous individuals; and if so
the guilty parties should be de-
tected and punished. The fact
that such action is desired fully
as much by the War Depart
ment as by Congress is indi-
Gated BY Secretary Bakers &C
tion.

Airplane As a Menace
to Pedestrians

The fact that two children
were recently killed and one Sc
riously i INJURED at Franklin
Field, Boston, when one Of the
airplane of the Flying Circus"
landed after a flight from AL
bany, New York, emphasizes
the importantance Of the max
ing of regulations governing the
use of airplanes and also pro-
visions for safe landing places
for them in our big cities as well
as in rural sections. The pedes-
trian is already kept suffi-
ciently busy attempting, by
looking in four directions at
once, to keep from being run
down by automobiles and other
territorial creatures, and it is
certainly asking too much to ex-
pect him to keep his eye out ov-
erhead as well. He might pos
sibly do this by the use of a per-
iscope but, on the whole, we
think it would be fairer to
handle the matter in some other
way

Army Air Fund In
creased by Senate

The Senate Monday increased
the item in the Army Appro-
ration Bill covering the Air Ser
vice from $15,000,000, the am
cunt carried by the House Bill,
to $55, 100000.
While it is important that
Governmental appropriations be
kept at a low figure wherever
possible on account of the al
ready heavy burden of taxation
resulting from the war, the ac-
ton of the Senate in this mat
ter should meet with general ap-
proval by the American people.
This is true for the reason that
there is in this country great
need for development in every
possible way of aerial naviga-
tion. There may be a grave
question as to the advisability
of further large expenditures fol-
the construction of marine war
vessels, for such instruments are
useful only for war purposes and
the possession of big war fleets
sometimes tends to promote
rather than to prevent war. Air
ships, however, in great quanti-
ties, are urgently needed for
peace purposes, and even those
especially designed for combat
can be utilized as mail carriers,
thus making the investment a
profitable one from a business
standpoint and at the same time
providing a powerful means OF
defense in case of war.

Important Amer
icanization Work

The National Security League has
announced the organization of a ma
tion-wide committee, divided into
state units, to take charge of an
Americanization educational cam
paign as an antidote for Bolshevism
and anarchism. 1t is said that the
preparation of the plan has been un-
derway for some time and that it
will be inaugurated by country
wide celebration, on September 18th,
of the birthday of the American
Constitutio4
The plan fthis Americanization
campaign is outlined by statement
made yesterday by Dr.. Robert NJ.
Nc Elroy, Educational Director of
the League, from which we quote as
follows:
The developments of the last few
months have served to emphasize the
need of popular knowledge concern
ing American ideals of government.
The Constitution is losing its hold
upon the people because the people
do not understand its meaning. To
make that clear will require very
serious effort, but in its successful
accomplishment lies the refutation
of Bolshevism in America. The need
is not confined to our alien born
population. Many of our native born
Americans do not understand the
meaning Of the institutions under
which they live and are being de-
liberately risirformed regarding
them
"Our aim is to unite one national
campaign of education upon the es-
sential principles of our government
all who know their meaning and are
willing to aid in interpreting them
to those who do not understand
them"
This undertaking is one of great
importance and should receive the
hearty cooperation of every good
citizen, since properly directed
Americanization work will undoubt-
edly prove more effective than any
other measures that can be taken in
the fight against the spread of Boil
shevism and anarchy in this country.

July 4th Celebration
with Donations
J, p. Hebert Tells of Plans for
Entertaining the Boys
Here on Big Day

In response to an invitation from
Mayor Thorgeson Of Berwick, MI
]. P Hebert, representing the En-
ecutive Committee of the Welcome
Home Celebration, addressed
packed house at the moving picture
theatre in Berwick last night. He
spoke of the celebration that would
be held here, and told the audience
that it was their celebration as we'll
as that of the people Of Morgan City.
we want the people of Berwick
to know that they are with us in this
celebration" said Mr.. Hebert so
far, neither Of the two communities
have done anything to show the boys
the appreciation we feel for the SER
vices they have rendered to us and
to our country. | know that all of
the people of Berwick want to honor
their boys, just as much as the peo-
pie of Morgan City and other places
want to honor their boys. Morgan
City has a tender spot in its heart
for Berwick. We are not all selfish
in Morgan City and we hope that
Berwick entertains a like feeling for
US.
I'VE want the people of Berwick to
help us in honoring the boys, and we
believe that the cause will justify
all in feeling that this is truly Nor
gan City and Berwick's treat to the
boys
Mr.. Hebert was applanded through
out his talk, and the sentiment of the
gathering was the same as that OF
tlc people of Morgan City who are
backing the celebration, and who fos-
tered the idea. Mr.. Hebert was
among the very first to suggest
tribute to the boys from the people
of the two communities, and he is
gratified beyond measure to find that
his idea has assumed such definite
shape in the minds of others and that
the people are unanimous in the
movement.
Once more Morgan City takes off
its hat to the public spirited citizens
of Berwick. Mayor Thorgeson has
assured the chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee that he would con-
duct a personal canvass Of the town
for contributions to help defray the
expenses of the day. A nice amount
was reported yesterday and the COM
mittee feels that when he has COM
pleted his task. Berwick will have
acquitted herself with grace.

Patterson Cih,zens
Would Help

Manager E. R. Daigle of the Pat
terson Grays. southwest Louisiana
fastest base ball team, was in MGR
gan City yesterday accompanied by
his famous first sacker. Phil !.
(Slats) Charlet, While in town, Mr..
Daigle called at the Review office
and proffered his support to tie
chairman of the Executive Commit
tee to help out in any way he could
to boost the big celebration to be
held here.
I'VE would be glad to come here
for the game we have booked on the
Fourth" said Mr.. Daigle, "but you
have no park If you can possibly
arrange for the game to be played
here we will come down"
Mr.. Daigle reflects the attitude of
most of the people of Patterson and
surrounding country towards the cell
ebrat}on 1t is the only event OF its
kind in the parish on that day, and
it is to honor the men to whom the
nation owes the most at present
its defenders. Many people from
Patterson will doubtless forsake the
pleasure of seeing their favorites
tangle up with the Stanicolas to
come to Morgan City. Some will
come in the morning and will return,
probably. in the afternoon Others
will be here, you can bet, for the
dance to be given after the fireworks
display on the bay. They will all be
welcome, and they will all have a
good time if they come.

All business establishments in
Morgan City will be closed on the
Fourth Of July by proclamation of
the mayor, drug stores and restau-
rants excepted This statement was
made at a meeting Of the Executive
Committee of the big celebration to
be held here on that day yesterd ay
afternoon. 1t was announced that
this step would be taken in order
that all employees of the different
stores as we'll as the employers
themselves may be free on the Ma
tion's Birthday. The proclamation
will probably be issued sometime
Monday. and will be published in
the Review.
Thousands of visitors are antici-
pated for the event, and preparations
continue to 60 forward for enter
tanning the visitors and the town
folks who will participate in the big
doings. The soldier boys are all
wearing smiles and impatiently wait
ing for the day to come. There VIII
be so many good things in store for
them, and they all know that if they
ever had a good time, it will be on
this day. 1t has been suggested that
some of the boys might be reticent
about permitting themselves to be
entertained. The boys will be guests

EVERY BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENT TO
BE CLOSED HERE ON July FOURTH
Restaurants and Drug Stores Remain Open; Mayor Shan
y to Issue Proclamation

Of honor OF the folks Of Morgan City
and Berwick, and it will be the great
est honor that it has been the pleas
ure of these two towns to enjoy
when they have the opportunity to
show their appreciation to the ma
tions's defenders by showing them a
good time Furthermore, all of the
booths will be in charge of Morgan
City's most charming young ladies,
and you can bet that the boys will
stick around, and the girls will see
to it that they discard all bashful-
ness or backwardness about coming
forward for share Of the good
things.
The water sports committee re-
ports that several entries in the surf
board riding contest have been made,
and that this will prove an exciting
and entertaining number on the days
program.
II believe that I want to try to
ride one of the boards myself" said
Mr.. Homer Jolley yesterday. Mr..
Jolley had charge of this particular
feature Of the day. but it is thought
that his bones have reached such a
stage of maturity that he would not
be in it with the younger fellows
who will buck the tide behind fast
notorboats.
