Disabled veterans of the World War
are not getting what they deserve
from a grateful nation.
The American Lection with its MEM
bership Of two millions Of those vet
Grams, is bending every effort to i'm
prove conditions, thoroughly and at
once.
The legion has investigated and
made sure of the facts and is proceed
ing on a program to assure proper
care of every one of the 10000 sick and
disabled e~X-service men, now inmates
of some 1,4OO government and private
hospitals. as we'll as those needing
treatment in the future.
Many think the war is v e As a
matter of fact the physical after-ef-
fects of the war have not yet reached
their peak.
Disabled and sick veterans are be-
ing admitted to the hospitals at the
rate of 5000 every month; those cured
are being discharged at the rate of
$500. This gives an increase of 1,500
cases every month.
Experts estimate that the peak will
not be reached for five years.
There are about 100000 veterans
who were discharged from service
"with disability" Any or all of these
men are likely to apply for hospital
treatment. Only $4,000 have received
such treatment. since discharge. So
more than 400, 900 remain who are en-
titled to care.
Almost half of the 10000 in hospi-
tails are farmed out to private institu-
tons, their bills being paid by the
government. Conditions in some OF
these institutions are d~eplorable.
The tubercular veterans fare worst
of all. Hundreds of these men are
actually without shelter. .
The mental cases fare scarcely bet
ter. They are herded in county asy-
lums, old folks homes, hospitals for
the criminally insane.
One shell shocked veteran was ar
rested in Kentucky six months ago
and placed in a filthy cell in a county
asylum. His hair was not cut for
months.
Rags were falling from him when
legion men discovered him. And the
bureau handling his case still refuses
to pay him a cent of compensation ne
deserves.
One sick veteran died penniless
while his wife scrubbed floors to pro-
vide food. A month after he died the
government sent 81, 800 back pay and
compensation. for which he had applied
six months before.
We know of one hospital where IA
men died while the physicians still
were contending that they were only

FIGHT TO LIFT
BAN ON DANCE
By United Press.

By United Press.
Des Moines, Ia, May "a spirited
fight to lift the historic MetAodist
ban on dancing, card playing, thea.
ter attendance and other amuse.
ments is expected here as the nj.
tional conference of the church
meets.
Indications are that the vote on
lifting the ban win be close, as the
result of an extensive campaign that
has been carried on during the last
year by various factions of the
church. Delegates from every state
are in attendance. The conference
will continue about month.
Several state conferences OF the
church have gone on record as ia.
yorlng the lifting of the ban that
has been in effect since the 70s',
but the opposition to such move
still is strong in several quarters Of
the denomination.
j. Henry Smythe. Jr,, OF Washing
ton, D. c., son Of a Methodist minis
ter, is expected to lead the fight to
remove the denunciation of the
church from these amusements. Dur
ing the war he served as a Red
Cross song director with the Ameri-
can EXpeditionary Forces.
Back of Smythes' efforts to have
the ban lifted is a bit of romance.
His fiance refuses to join the Meth
odist church until the ban is lifted
Il expect to be married as soon as
| am able to have the ban lifted"
Smythe said 81 have appeared be-
fore several state conferences and
have urged such action and will ad-
dress the resolutions committee of
the national conference.
Smythe believes that the ban is a
hindrance to the work Of the Meth
odist church and claims that it is
keeping many people from becoming
members. Likewise claims it is
not being obeyed by a majority o.
the present membership.
