for Baton Rouge October goth and

men to be gotten in touch with so that
whatever claim they may have for
hospitilization, compensation, or
training can be adjusted at this time.
In order to do this the American
Legion and the local Red Cross are
doing all things possible to reach the
men by posters, personal letters, and
newspaper publicity. The support of
the ministers and school teachers have
been enlisted. The case of every ex-
service man should be adjusted as soon
as possible. For this reason the To-

they are anxious to clear all war
