CLEANUP SQUAD
FOR EX-SERVICE
MEN AUG. 26-27
Government Officials VIII
Be at ArmOry Two Days
Next Week

Edwin w. Grant, the advance
agent of publicity for the Red
Cruss drive to aid disabled ex-ser-
vice men, was here Thursday 20
arrange for a meeting at the
Armory Aug. 26 and 27.
The passage of the Sweet bill by
Congress has been the signal for
nation wide drive to clean up all
pending claims of disabled men
for compensation and vocational
training The campaign starts in
Vermont Aug. %. A clean up
squad of government officials will
visit every section of the state and
to decide if possible, the merits of
each case. A medicsl examiner, q
training official of the Federal
Board of Vocational education, and
contact examiner of compensa-
ton and insurance claims will COM
prise the board of three who will
meet with all men who have claims
investigate carefully all the cir
cumstances involved advise fully
what should be done.
1t is expect / that Allen
Fletcher, State Adiutant of the
American Legion, will be here as
we'll as representatives of the We
terans of Foreign Wars and the
Red Cross.
The Sweet bill eliminates red
tape in the treatment of disabled
soldiers, centralizing the three
government bodies dealing with ex-
service men into one bureau
known as the Veterans bureau. It
liberalizes the provisions of COM
pensation payments and provides
HOSPITAL care for all veterans
whose disability is traceable to
service. 1t establishes liberal re-
instatement provisions for war risk
insurance policies that have lapsed.
The squad aims to clean up all
pending cases of disabled ex-ser-
vice men and will also handle new
cases and rush them through with
all possible despatch.
Every soldier should bring his
discharge papers with him, his dis
charge certificate and all papers
pertaining to his case.

decisive victory were added the
baseball championship crown OF
the state of Vermont. By winning
the third and most important con-
test in the five game series, New
port clinched her title to suprem-
acy over all diamond aggregations
in the Green Mountain state.
The better team won yesterday,
fact which all fair-minded fol-
lowers and supporters of either
outfit will readily admit. For while
Newport was accepting difficult
chances in the field, the Hornle
coached team permitted the sweets
of victory to slip from its grasp
by ill-timed and costly bobbles.
Alex Downey bungled Mel Mer-
ri.t's high fly in the fourth stanza,
thereby allowing to trickle in big
score for the Ross clansmen. Jocko
Conlon, the highly reputed Har
ward shortstop, whipped throw

seventh. Thus Brainy Bowers

was not disastrous.
On the other hand, the work of

off hit or two by some especially
lively cavorting about the keystone

local infield. Maloney was a tower
of strength at the initial cushion

and snappy manner at third round

DUBLIN, Aug. 18-Debate on
the reply of the Irish Republican
parliament to the British govern
ment's offer of Dominion status to
Ireland was begun by the parlia
ment in executive session here to-
day. 1t was the general belief
that the Dali Eirenn would not

Great Britain and it was thought
some action might be taken to ap-

decrease CT over $5,000,000,000 in
the value of the coutry's foreign
trade during the past fiscal year

prices rather than diminishing
quantities were to a great extent
responsible for the decline in
exports. The government asserted

DIPLOMATIC ROW
U. S. Ambassador Twice
Calls At S. American
Govt. House.

BY }. w. WHITE.

BUENos AIRES, April l4.-Ar-
gentinet government ofncials are
making determined efforts to hide
the fact that the Martha Washing
ton incident has become the sub
ject OF the predicted diplomatic
protests from the United States.
Though Ambassador Frederic J.
Stimson is known to have visited
the government house twice yes
terday, the authorities either deny
that he had anything to say con-
cerning the Martha Washington or
state that he was merely after in
formation.
The Argentine newspapers are
unanimous in bitter criticism of the
governments lax attitude toward
the stevedores' union, which per-
mitted an internatiopal complica-
ton to grow out of an unimportant
discussion betweeH a ships cap
tain and his crew. such As is com
mon on the arrival of nine out of
every ten steamers.
Food Enough for = Days.
The crew of the Martha Wash
ington is now on half rations and
has only enough supplies to last
twenty-five days more, after which
time a serious situation is expected
as the stevedores refuse to permit
anything to be carried aboard the
steamer.
When the Martha Washington ar
rived in Buenos Aires the firemen
were .disgruntled, but instead of
taking their complaints to the con-
sui, as is customary, they appealed
to the federation Of Argentine port
workers. which has become noted
in the shipping world for the man
ner in. which they have ruled the
port of Buenos Aires for the last
two, years.
The American consul refused to
hear the complaints when presented
by the federation delegates where
upon the Martha, Washington was
boyeotted and all port workers were
forbidden to work aboard 1t.
BIuned Government.
The owners then requested per-
mission of the port authorities to
use on-union labor. Permission
was granted and then the federation
threatened a general port strike,
thereby bluffing the government out
of giving the proposed protection
for non-union workers.
The Argentine government is con-
siderably embarrassed by the dip
lomatic demand for intervention be-
cause 1t requires a reversal of the
policy, maintained for a year and
q half toward the port federation,
of refusing to protect the shippers
from the unions demands
