WARNS Ex-sERWcE MEN NOT
 TO LOSE DISCHARGE PAPERS

t g
 Franklin D'Olier, national com mander of the American Legion. has issued a warning to all ex-seivice men in the legion against the loss of their discharge papers and urging that they be recorded.
 The following bulletin was sent to all state departments and posts of The American Legion:
 Department adjutants are urged to instruct their. department historians on the adVikNbility of all. ex-service men officially recording their dis charge papers with the recorder of their county. The desirability and importance of every member of The American Legion conforming with this suggestion is evidenced by the many instances in which claims are being made where the discharge papers are either lost or destroyed To provide for this emergency, the department historiah should make all necessar, inquiries and obtain full, information l iineidental to recording them from the | office of the county recorder.
 '1t would be we'll to bring to bea, I upon the minds of our comrades. ina the official form of discharge is an in. strument that cannot be dupEcatef 1 although it may be possible to obtai1 a form in lieu thereof; that althoigl it may not be held with any particu
 lar pride today, there will come a tim with increasing years, when a con siderable amount of sentiment vii center around the discharge paper.
 'In the state of Pennsylvania today the ex-service man Is granted certail
 state benefifits. As time goes on. ther
 will undoubtedly be further .conces.
 sions made by the several states fo the benefifit of the men who served i 1.-the world war and their dependents

 any reason to produce the original dis tpharge a means of sufficient evidenc
