Legion Seeking Places for
 Veterans Tn U. $. Service

WASHINGTON, March 16.-With the incoming of a new administra- ton, the American Legion is keenly alive to the duty of protecting all eX-service men and women now in the Government employ under the civil service and also to the possi- bility of increasing the number O. veterans in the Government service. according to John Thomas Tyler, vice chairman of the National Leg islature Committee of the Legion.
 At present, only about one twen- 10000 out of 420,000, are veterans This condition exists, MT. Tyler points out, in spite of the fact that S5,000 eX-Service persons have sought Government jobs; 10000 of them passed the examinations and meas ured up to all requirements and 46,- 600 of them have been certified or recommended for appointment by the civil service.
 The law requires the civil service commission to submit the names Of three eligibleS for each appointment to be made. including the ex-service person making the highest mark, and leaves the appointment of one of the three to the head of the exc cutive departmnt The fact that in 26,00O out of 46,0O0 cases, the de partment heads have preferred civ isfactory to the Legion. according to Mr Tyler who adds tha5 the Ma tional Legislative Committee intends to see that a better showing is made in the future.

Three Months Required to
 Itemize War Fund Expenses

WASHINGTON, March 16 IL will requireat least three months for the Treasury Department to sub init an itemized statement showing detailed expenditures under the $50, 100000 special war fund set aside for use by the President Such a statement was called for in a resolu- tion adopted two weeks ago by the House.
 In the report transmitted hy Presi- dent Wilson. previous to adjourn ment of Congress and made public today total net disbursements were $114 .967,770. l. was stated that there was an unallotted balance of about SIP 100000 and that approximately $23 3,00O000 had been carried to the surplus fund.
 The President sent to the House letter from the Secretary of the Treasury saying:
 "In view of the fact that the dis bursements represent for the most part advances of funds for disburs- ing officers upon accountable war rants. it cannot be said that the figures are final or that they nee essarily represent actual expendi- lures. The auditor for the State and other Departments who examined the accounts of the disbursing officers concerned, advises that it will take about three months to complete the examination"
 Much of the fund allotted to the 1 State Department was for use in Rus sia, including about S5,000,O00 fo' The civilian population in the Arch angel district and $4.500,000 for op 1 eration and maintenance of the trans i Siberian and Chinese Railways. E. M Baruch. technical adviser to the peace mission was allotted i $l50.O00 for expenses.
 The Shipping Board was aliottee l $27 100000 for purchase and repair of German and Austrian vessels.

The Dominion government is BEING
