J. 0. U. A. M. URGES SENATE
To REJECT VAN SCHAICK

Protesting against the confirmation
OF the nomination OF the Rev. DR..
John Van Schaick, jr.. as District
Commissioner, the Mount Vernon
Council, No. 10. Junior Order United
American. Mechanics, last night de-
cided to send a copy OF the condemn
ing resolution to Senator Sherman,
chairman OF the Senate District Com
mittee.
The organizations decision was
based on the contentious that as
minister of the Gospel DR.. Van
Schaick might be inclined to unite
the affairs OF church and state; that
his attitude toward the appointment
of a Chinese student to a captaincy
in the high school cadets indicated
that he might favor foreigners above
Americans, and that as a voter of
New York State he was disqualified
by law to become a Commissioners of
the District OF Columbia.

STATES RIGHTS FOR
THE EX-SOLDIERS
{ American Legion Weekly

american Legion Weekly
Veterans who favor federal bonus,
says Golfers, "say they don't want
a gift; they want justice. That is the
object. The states. it seems, are max
ing very considerable efforts to at
tain that object. To du-
plicate in the bonus matter what has
already been done by the states
would be taking a chance-the most
useless kind of chance. Besides which,
the men wouldn't want it. They call
fer adjusted compensation. Well, the
states are putting their shoulders to
the wheel"
Thus does another national publica-
tion enter the field of periodicals which
know all there is to know about the
men who fought the war. "The men
wouldn't want it." On precisely what
carefully sought-out data does Col
lier's base this extraordinary conclu-
sion? It has the disadvantage, consid-
ering it on the ground of its value to
the argument in hand, of being nine
tenths untrue.
And "the states are putting their
shoulders to the wheel" The veteran,
then, is state problem. 1t was not
the United States as a compact unit
which went TO war. 1t was the COM
nronwcalth of Massachusetts against
the imperial German government, the
state of Nevada against the royal
and imperial Austro- Hungarian gov
er1ment. Let New Mexico care for
her own. What were they fighting to
pl lotect, the safety and honor of a
great nation, or the state capitol at
Santa Fe?

A MONUMENT TO A
WAR INNOVATION

Rockland, Me-, Dec. 16.-The con-
crete steamer Polias appears likely to
remain monument on the Maine
coast to one of the war innovations in
marine architecture. The freighter is
securely lodged on Old Cilley Ledge,
near the, southwestern entrance to
Penobscot Bay, where she stranded in
a storm last February, resulting in the
less of eleven of her crew.
Repeated efforts to float the vessel,
which cost the government $95O,O0O
TO construct, have finally been aban-
doned and wrecking gear has been re-
moved. The Polias still rests on an
even keel, giving her the appearance
of being afioat. but with every tide
she fills with water pouring through
holes punched in the hull by the jag
Ged rocks.
Her position has not changed since
she struck the ledge while bound from
Searsport for Norfolk after compiet-
ing the third trip since her launching
No trace has ever been found of the
bodies of the eleven seamen who put
off in boat without q masters per-
mission. 1t is supposed the boat was
smashed against the side Of the
steamer. Captain Coghland and the
other % members OF the crew were
rescued the next day by coast guards

THE EX-SERvICE MEN
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Dec. 17.-Claims of
former service men to grant from
Congress were supported yesterday by
representatives of the American Le-s
gion at the Senate finance COMMITTEES
hearings on the House bill to adjust
compensation of world war veterans.
Major Frederick Galbraith Jr.. ma
tional commander of the legion, and
Gilbert Bettman, chairman of the le--
gion's executive committee, said the
legion sought to present and demon
strate the validity of the claim of the
men and that the government should
find means of meeting them.
The American Legion has no idea
how many men would prefer the cash
bonus, Commander Galbraith said but,
he added, the contemplated campaign
of education would, no doubt, result
in many electing to take the other OPP
tons.
! The soldiers, he said, should not
suffer from economic prejudice by
reason of their military service and

| Lack of attention for wounded SOL
diers, he said, resulted from the fact
that there is no centralized response
hility in the administration of meas
tres for their care. These men felt,
ne said, that they were being mis-
treated. Action of Congress for them
has failed to materialize, he asserted,
adding that he thought the lack of
centralized authority in the adminis-
trative agencies was wher the great
est part of the trouble lay.
"The whole thing, then. is the inef-
ficiency of the administration ?" asked
Acting Chairman McCumber.
"Yes." the American Legion COM
mander replied.
He advocated ending the hydra
headed system whereby it was hardly
possible to place the responsibility

isn't it fair and right for Congress
to find some way to pay the men who
risl1ed their lives?" he asked.
Immediate action" was asked by
Robert Burnside, Pittsburg command
er in chief of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. All were asking for the Square,
DEAL" he said.
Most of the men, he said, are in
favor of adjusted compensation, and
think this should be given them i'm
r1ediately. He said many soldiers
were kept long abroad, and returned
to find their old positions filed, and
had to start again at the bottom.
Soldiers are opposed to the pending
bill, said Sam Lovenbein, chairman
of the Rank and File Veterans As
sociation. He thought it contained a
few good things which might be sep
arated and put into another bill. He
said all the boys were "going to take
cash" anyway and told this commit
tee "all this talk about othre things
is just taking up your time"
He suggested bill for vocational
training under which all service men
could benefit, some form of govern
nent loans for homes and farms and
a short bill for bonus.
Mr.. Lovenbein said his association
wanted the money for the bonus to
come from the "war profteers."
