Up to Septem- Der 1. more than 5000 ex-soldiers had placed their claims with the squad. More than 75 of these men were im- mediately sent to hospitals. Most of the others filed claims for none tary compensation, voca ational train ing and other government benefits. and so thorough has been the work of the squad that these claims have been returned with proper results In from nine days to two weeks-a rec ord for government bureaua
