HOW UNCLE SAN WILL
TEACH DISABLED SOLDIERS

Uncle Sam il going to see that
those who fought for our nag, and rs
. result Of injuries received while in
service, will be unable to follow his
old vocation or employment, will still
have q means Of earning their liveli-
hood. Present estimates of the fed
eral authorities place the number Of
disabled men about l00, 900 Of which
number over 10000 will need to be
re-trained or taught a new trade.
The act Of Congress under which
the Federal Board carries on the work
Is known as the Vocational Rehabilita-
ton Law. Ii was passed unanimously
and signed by the President on June
"a, 1918. II charges the Federal
Board with seeing that every disabled
soldier, sailor and marine entitled to
compensation under the War Risk In
surance Law gets his old job back or
another suitable one. And for those
whose disabilities make it impossible
for them to take up their old callings
re-training in o new vocation at the
governments expense is provided. II
further provides that while the SOL
der, sailor or marine is thus being
trained he will be supported jointly
by the Federal Board and the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, while any de-
pendents also receive Federal aid. To
cover this expense $1,000 900 has al
ready been appropriated and there is
ample assurance that more will be
forthcoming If needed.
Tuition, books and other equipment
and living expenses are provided al!
disabled fighters taking training cour-
ses approved by the Federal Board,
which may range from six months
shop training to full four year COL
lege course. The compensation al
lowed while training lasts equals the
monthly sum to which the soldier, sal
lor or marine is entitled under the
War Risk Insurance Law or a sum
equal to his pay for the last month
he was in active service, il that be
greater. In no case will a single man
or one required by his course of in
struction to live apart from his de-
pendents receive less than S65.O0 n
month, exclusive of the sum paid de-
pendents, nor will q man living with
his dependents receive less than s75,-
90 per month. inclusive of the amount
paid the family.
The list of courses selected includes,
among others:
Agriculture, Academic course, Ac-
countancy, Architecture, Animal hus-
bandry, Banking, Commercial course,
Chemistry, Drafting, Embalming,
Building construction, Civil engineer
ing, Dairying, Electrical course, Ex-
porting.

ABILENE ISLANDS PAT"
Ordinance Providing That Railroads
Must Pave Crossings Still Holds.

The Union Pacific railroad, through
its attorney, Arthur Hurd, appeared
before the city commissioners in a
protest against the ordinance passed
recently, providing that the railroads
must pave the railroad crossings
where they connect with paved
streets in Abilene. The. railroad ar
gued that it was necessary to repair
crossings so frequently that the
work can be done to much better ad-
vantage where it entails simply the
replacing of a worn plank than
where pavement must be patched.
Several cities including Kansas City
were cited as places where the roads
have been allowed to continue their
custom Of panking the crossings.
The commissioners. however let the
ordinance remain in force.

$4,000 Ransom

MEXICANS HELD TWO AND DE
MANDED MONEY
Breach OF international Law Says
Washington and Trouble Is
Brewing-Money Sent
From a Texas Bank.
(AssocIated Press,

Maria, Tex, Aug. 1S.-Vice Presi-
dent II. M. Fennell Of the Maria
State bank, was authorized by
wealthy cattlemen of the Big Bend
district to draw $4,000 from the
bank today and proceed to Candelaria,
Texas and deliver this sum for tbe
ransom of two army lieutenants held
by bandits in Mexico.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-The Amer
Gcan embassy at Mexico City was
notified today by the state depart
ment to Immediately call upon
Mexican government for quick ac-
tion to effect the release of Lieu
tenants Paul II. Davis and Harold
G.. Peterson, American army aviators,
who were captured by the Mexican
bandits near Caldelaria, Texas,
while patroling the border and who
were threatened with death unless
$4,000 ransom was paid today. The
announcement said the instructions
pointed out the seriousness with
which the United States government
views the situation and called for
immediate action.
The American consul at Juarez
was also instructed to take all pos
sible steps with the Mexican outhor-
tiles to secure the release and pro-
lection of the officers. Officials said
the ransom will be paid as soon as
information is had where and to
whom the money is to be delivered.
Members Of military forces of the
counery, especially when in uniform
are direct representatives Of the gov
ernment it was said. Any injury or
affront to them is regarded as
breach Of international law.
The first intimation that the two
officers were missed reached Wash
ington the middle of last week in
dispatches from the border which
