meet at the national encampment
in Detroit
once at Washington with the same
purpose in view. for aiding disabled
veterans. regardless to which order
they owe membership.
The plans discussed propose that
the service bureaus should be con-
soiidated and housed collectively as
in the War Risk Building. each of
the organizations having a repre-
sentative on the board. This ua-
doubtediy would be a saving to both
the government and theNveteran or
ganizations. and would remove much
responsibility. eliminating unneces-
sary red tap and criticism existing
against various Eovernment bureaus
created for the benefit OF ex-service
men.
The opinion that all matters per-
tanning to the welfare of ex-service
men lies in the consolidation OF
veteran organizations. all working
in harmony with the heads on the
bureaus would be the solution for
solving shortcomings and brine
about the necessary methods foI
expediting and aeceIersting mat.

burly mechanic manifested signs of
restlessness. When the first woman
