Delays Are Chief Fault.

Delays in getting cases disposed of
IN the bureau of war risk insurance,
and In some instances illogical find
inEs and rulings on cases. together
with tedious delays in getting COM
peneation payments started. Is chief
" the fault the legion In its article
hnds with that bureau. In regard to
the Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation the article denounces that or
Eanization because Of its alleged
narrow definition" of the various
provisions Of the amended act pro-
viding training for wounded SOL
diers.
In a preface to the first Of the two
articles the assertion is made that:
1.-THE American Legion finds that
the government has failed to keep its
promises to disabled veterans, and
places responsibility for the short
coming, which it describes"
Referring to the Federal Board for
Vocational Education, the article says:
'.The history Of this deliberately
constituted organization. which. with
millions at its disposal, has been
charged with the task of rehabilitat-
ing disabled soldiers. and by training
and re-education enabling them to
resume self-supporting stations in So
ciety. Is . black record Of broken
promises and betrayal OF trust"

CONGRESS GETS BLAME


Charges that the Federal Board for
Vocational Education has seriously
fallen down on the job Of providing
training for incapacitated soldiers and
of providing for such men while in
training and In course OF rehablita-
tion, are made in the first of two ar
ticles issued today from the headauar-
ters of the national executive commit
tee of the American Legion. Response
bility for the failure is laid in the
first article on Congress, the bureau
of war risk insurance and the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
Congress culpability, according to
the article, consisted chiefly in pass
ing a vocational education measure

Court Rules Against Tradition.

One Of the naval patrols at the Short
Line depot, Annapolis, arrested Joseph
Thomas {coloredD for carrying a con-
cealed weapon. Thomas was walking
along when razor dropped from his
clothing and he was arrested. When
the razor was exhibited it looked like

animation, decided that the piece OF
junk was not dangerous weapon and

A hundred feet away they saw 10.
rak bound to stake, the brush piled
about him already alight. The Eng
| lishman pushed Meriem to one side
and started on a run for the doomed
man. What he could do in the face of
scores of hostile blacks and Arabs he
did not stop to consider.
At the same instant Tantor broke
through the palisade and charged the
group. In the face of the maddened
beast the crowd turned and fled, carry
ing Baynes backward with them.
Tantor wrapped his trunk about the
body of Korak and the stake to which
it was bound and tore it from the
ground. Lifting his burden high above
his head, the giant beast wheeled and
raced for the breach he had just made
in the palisade. The sheik, rifle in
hand, rushed directly in the path of
the maddened brute. He raised his
weapon and fired once. The bullet
missed its mark, and Tantor was upon
him, crushing him beneath his gigantic
feet as he raced over him. And then,
bearing his burden carefully, Tantor,
the elephant, entered the Llackaess Of
the jungle.
In moment it was all over, and the
elephant had disappeared with his
prize, but pandemonium reigned
throughout the village. Men, women
and children ran heller SHELTER for
safety. Ours fled, yelping. The horses
and camels and donkeys, terrorlzed by
the trumpeting of the pachyderm,
kicked and pulled at their tethers.
A dozen or more broke loose, and it
was the galloping of these past him
that brought sudden idea into
Baynes' head. He turned to search
for Meriem, only to find her at his
elbow.
THE horses !" he cried. "If we can
get a couple of them!"
Filled with the idea, Meriem led him
to the far end Of the village.

are saddles. I will bring them and the
bridles," and before he could stop her
she was gone.
Baynes quickly united two of the
frightened animals and led them to the
point designated by Meriem. Here he
waited impatiently for what seemed
an hour, but was in reality but few
minutes. Then he saw the girl ap-
preaching beneath the burden Of two
saddles.
Quickly they placed these upon the
horses. They could see by the light Of
the torture fire that still burned that
the blacks and Arabs were recovering
from their panic. Men We're running
about gathering in the loose stock, and
two or three were already leading
their captives back to the end of the
village where Meriem and Baynes were
busy with the trappings Of their
mounts.
Now the girl flung herself into the
saddle.
Hurry" she whispered. eve shall
have to run for it. Ride through the
gap that the elephant made" And as
she saw Baynes swing his leg over
the back of his horse she shook the
reins free over her mounts neck. With
lunge the nervous beast leaped for
ward. The shortest path led straight
through the center of the village, and
this Meriem took. Baynes was close
behind her, their horses running at full
speed.
SO sudden and impetuous was their
dash for liberty that il carried them
half way across the village before the

A POINT IN QUESTION

a lew days ago we ventured the assertion that il a DISPUTE
arose between the signatories tosa treaty over the constitution
anty OF a paragraph and the court of one nation held it uncon-
stitutional there would be no obligation upon the other nation to
accept the construction, but that it would have a right to require
and compel the observance OF the spirit and letter OF the treaty.
TO make the case specific we assumed that Germany would
ind a part OF the treaty of Versailles in conflict with the consti-
tuition, and declared that the principal allies and associated
powers would disregard the constitution and demand the fulfill
nent OF the provisions OF the treaty. The assumption was that
II the courts OF the United States could set aside a treaty the
courts OF Germany have the same right, We cannot, in logic or
IN law, apply a rule for one party to a contract and deny the same
right to the other party.
In verificaion of our contention the identical proposition
has arisen between Germany and the entente powers. An Asso-
Grated Press dispatch from Paris says:
