New York Committee Re-
SCENTS Report That Disor-
der Followed Vote Upon
Free Speech Resolution
Comptroller Generals Rul-
ing Will Deprive Thou
sands of Veterans of All
lowances for Disability

Certain delegates to the New York
County Committee of the American
Legion were guilty last Monday, &C
cording to Chairman Henry w. Bux-
ton, of deliberately publishing misin-
formation about the committees meet
ing at the Hotel Pennsylvania on that
date.
These Legionnaires, the official says,
recounted a version of the proceed
ings in which "there was not even a
suspicion of the truth" and it may be
that action will be taken against them
by the executive committee of the
county body.
A group OF delegates to the com
mittee prepared statement after the
meeting in which they asserted that
negative vote on the so-called Rack
off resolution which Endorsed free
speech and condemned alleged lawless
acts by members of the Legion WAS
followed by disorder and that many
Of the delegates withdrew from the
meeting.
The resolution referred to-" Chair
man Buxton said yesterday, "was in
troduced in the regular order, called
for by the chair, and was discussed
without any heated debate for forty
nitnues, after which vote was taken.
the result Of the vote-the loss of the
resolution-was then announced from
the chair. There was q little applause,
but the meeting was perfectly orderly,
the chairman having no need to en-
force rules of decorum, as there was
no attempt made to express disap-
proval."
The county chairman continues to
say that whoever gave out the informa-
ton must have Intentionally misled,
for there is not even suspicion of
truth in which to bdild such state
ment."
Compensation Lost
Dispatches from Washington tell of
q ruling by Comptroller General Nc
Carl, which, it is said, will result in
thousands Of veterans being cut off
from compensation for permanent total
disability. Payments amounting to
several million dollars, it is said, are
illegal and monthly allowances for this
class of disability must cease.
The War Risk regulation which Nc
CarPs ruling renders invalid provides
for the payment of total permanent
disability compensation under the fol-
lowing conditions:
w mere INC uiSaDleQ person is on the
date of the issuance of this regulation
or hereafter shall be either an inmate
of hospital or asylum during con-
tinuous period of six months or more,
or on the date of the issuance of this
regulation is or hereafter shall be
rated as totally disabled or totally and
temporarily disabled for continuous
period of six months or more, and be
unable to follow continuously any sub
stantially gainful occupation during
such six months, and in addition at
the time of the medical. examination
hereinafter prescribed shah be- found
then to be in such physical or mental
condition as to require further hospi-
talization or otherwise unable to fol-
low continuously any substantially
gainful occupations"
The Senate Committee on Soldiers
Relief probably will look into the
question. The committee also plans to
begin tour of hospitals from which
complaints have been coming about
neglect of disabled veterans.

IF SHE COULD HAVE KNOWN!
Detroit Girl Probably Will Always
Feel That Fate Has Been Most
y: T. Unkind to Her.

Some women rush into marriage,
but others give thought to what the
economic experts. say man should
be earning and have in the bank be-
fore taking unto himself wife.
Few will question that the latter
course is the sensible one, observes the
Providence Journal. But it has its
exceptions, like everything else. One
of the most romantic Of them, per-
haps, is contained in a recent news
dispatch from Detroit, telling how an
engine room worker in one Of the city
hotels at 30 cents an hour was spurned
by the girl of his dreams because she
was sure that he would never be able
to support her.
In less than week after the spurn-
ing the man received message from
a Toledo attorney saying that he was
one of three heirs to a $15,OOO,OOO
estate in California. Fiction, which
revels in the happy ending, would have
had the lucky one repeat his offer OF
marriage and meet with quick and
maybe fearful acceptance, and then
would have given us pretty word
picture Of the smiling couple whirling
westward on a train de luxe. .-''
But truth is cold and exact. The
engine-room worker simply said good
by to, the girl who had rejected him
and went to lay claim to his inherit
ance-alOne.
Was this decision correct? And will
the young woman, if her hand Is
sought again by some humble but
steady workman, consider his earning
capacity above his desire to make her
his helpmate?

Wonderful "UniversaI language"

Among other attempts at univer-

The shades Of meaning in this par

instance, is windmill,and "Danfumily."

entirely phonetic, and you do not have
to dot your "i's" or cross your "t's."

The English new rich" have to bear
almost as much criticism as the prime
minister, and from almost as mixed a
source. Their natural enemies are the
poor and the new poor, and the latter
element seems to feel strongest on the
subject. The aristocracy have taken
lately to publishing their sentiments
about the people who have usurped
their place. One Of the charges they
make is that the new rich don't know
how to give, and that as a result hos
pitals and charitable institutions are
being forced to close up. It may not
be, say the aristocracy obviously, that
the new rich are wifully selfish. But
they are not used to money, and so
are not used to giving it away. An
other allegation, made by peppery
daughter Of an impoverished duke, was
that the new rich had never done any
thing to make the world beautiful and
that as class they had produced no
great art or literature.

sit in stalls before the war have dis

breeding. One day somebody ate Or.
anges in the stalls and the feeling of
calamity in aristocratic circles was
strong for weeks.
