AMERICAN LEGION ASKS THAT ORDER
 BE MODIFIED SOME

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 9.-A letter to the legislative committee of the American Legion in Washington, urg- ing efforts to have modified the re cent order of the War Department for the release to civil life of service men who had been under treatment in hospitals for more than 12 months was mailed from national headquar- ters of the organization. The letter signed by Franklin d'Olier, national commander, supplements a resolution seeking the same object adopted re- gently by the executive committee of the organization here.
 officers and enlisted men con fined in hospitals receive full pay" the letter said. When returned to civil life tubercular and other incur ables will receive but six to 30 dol lars a month. We want such action by the War Department postponed until provision will have been made for these men by congressional legis- lation and 60 to 90 days allowed for Ju6 IOTIudllOu Ol IHt ucCCoohiy ScN erument organizations for carrying out the provisions of such legislation.
 Theoretically the public health service is supposed to have an or ganization to take care of these men. As a matter of fact they have not the hospitals to care for the men. nor has sufficient appropriation ever been made by Congress for this ser vice. The War Department order would throw on public charity the re- sponsibility of caring for a larger number of these sick.
 "A compromise offer was made per hitting men to remain in the hos. pitfalls more than 12 months where but two or three months additional treatment would be required for complete recovery. This showed lack of appreciation of the real situ- ation It is not so much for the care of those confined by temporary illness that concerns us as to the flu ture of thousands of incurables who would be returned to civil life with inadequate means of support and in ability to earn a livelihood for them selves"
