can Expeditionary forces, but on ad- vice of the attache, he reentered the French service for three months. Six months latter he was wounded and sent to a hospital
 Four weeks afterward his organ ization was transferred to the United States army, but Pearl was not sworn into the United States service be- cause he was in the hospital and was overlooked. Consequently, when re- leased he was a free agent and not a member of any army. The soldier obtained a position with the quar- termaster's department, but his con- dition became worse and he reen- tered the hospital. Upon his release he worked in France and last July came back to America
 When the Michigan clean-up squad arrived in Grand Rapids to handle local claims for compensation, Pearl applied to it for an award due to his injuries. but he was unable to show by official records that he had served the United States during the war. Neither could he prove that he was actually in the service of any country when he was released from a French hospital
 Nevertheless. Pearl is getting a square deal regardless of his inability technically to prove that he was ever in service. His case Is deemtd to be one of those in which certain tech nfcalities must be temporarily re- moved in favor sf simple justice.
 From Michigan also comes an unique demand of another veteran for a new glass eye to be purchased { by the government The former sol- dier lost his eye in service and among other compensations was awarded a glass eye, A few months ago his glass eye was stolen together with his clothes while he was in swim ming. He asked the government for a new one immediately, but the claim was disallowed.
 Had the eye been broken. the ruling read. it would have been replaced, but inasmuch as it was stolen the govern ment. could assume no responsibility in the matter. The veteran asked the clean up squad to make an effort ts 1 obtain a reversal of the decision which is now being done.

ROUNDING UP THE VETERANS

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA vet eran of the World war who is peti- tioning the government to give him a. new glass eye, because the first one they gave him was stolen while he was in swimming, and another man who had most of his face blown away while in the service, but does not ask compensation because he does not consider himself a hero, are a couple of the curiosities revealed by the ~round-up of World war veterans which has just been conducted by the veterans bureau here.
 Like many other varieties of gov ernment officials working in the field, the representatives of the bu- reau found themselves frequently handicapped by the fact that people believed they were revenue officers looking for stills. The bureau sent it's representatives into all parts of the country, resolved to find every veteran of the war who had a claim for compensation and give him his due.
 Over 96, 1000 disabled ex-service men have been interviewed since August. Evidence in the cases of 56,334 of these veterans indicated that claims should be filed, and government rep resentatives assisted these claimants lO cOIHpile ana prepare the necessary evidence These thousands of claims have been speedily acted upon, for out of these 56,334 claims filed only 1898 are pending, the remainder hav- ing been adjudicated and notices of settlement forwarded to the claim ants. As a result of this unique pro- gram of taking official Washington to the veteran. unusual cases from all parts of the country many of which the government is meeting with difficulty. are coming to light of day for the first time.
 An Unattached Fighter
 There is, for example, the case of C. H. Pearl, a Grand Rapids. Michi- gan veteran who lost his left hand and arm as result of shrapnel wound incurred in the trenches. Pearl is apparently "a soldier without a country"
 It appears that this unproven vet eran enlisted in the American ambu- lance service of the French army in 1917. After serving his enlistment he applied for transfer to the Ameri-

THE ARMY GIRLS
BY pR. FRANK CRANE fCopyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

There is a little section of the American army that occupies the German territory in Cobenz and round- about. have been through this region and seen the soldiers at their work and play and tried to get some idea of what America is doing here.
 One point in this article wish to mention.
 And that is, that about the best thing that have seen in army of occupation is the girl
 Under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. there are about fifty or sixty girls who are stationed here.
 Their business is to assist in looking after the clubrooms reading rooms, and canteens
 They dressed in an appropriate uniform, so that every one knows what they stand for and every one respects them.
 In the room where the boys gather to play bl- lizards cards, to loaf and read, there IS always one more of these girls.
 And they do more toward toning up the soldiers and keeping the spirit of the army to the proper level of decency and sefrespect than any other single n fuence.
 In room where one of these fine, frank-faced trim and attractive girls is sitting soldier is going to get drunk profane otherwise slop into beast
 nice clean, upstanding American girl does more for the soldier in his hours of recreation by her very presence than could be done by any male official.
 It is in his hours of relaxation that the soldier is in danger of undoing all the discipline he gets in his hours of training and drill. And it is here that the girl counts.
 What the presence of self-respecting young women has done to elevate the tone of the business offices in the United States is being done by these girls in the army.
 whole Y. M. c. A. work is American idea that is say the programme of having the sports and aton of the soldier taken care of by the Y. M C. A. organization.
 I Is is the presence of these girls here that is amazing thing to the army officials of other nations
 At the first mention of the idea they entirely incredulous But when they and how the plan works their increduity is turned to amazed conviction I These girls are above all reproach. There never has been anywhisper against them, and their influence l is tremendous
 Il They bring with them breath of normal and }. wholesome home life which the need I Wherever number of men are herded together without the presence of refined womanhood there is q strong tendency to degenerate. il There have always been women around armies, but in the past and in other armies it has usually been the lowest type of women, and their effect has been Ivery seriously to interfere with efficiency. But these wholly different sort of camp fol- lowers And their influence is such that the officials of a the army appreciate them most highly, and from the general commanding down to the lowest private el they are looked upon with affectonate esteem. Il On the whole, the brightest spot have seen in army life is the little constellation of girls whoy under the guidance of the Y. M. c. A. doing their great part in making the American soldier the finest in the world.
