Washington. Dec. 21.-(By fthe As
sociated Press. ss.)-Development of the
difference in view between President
Harding and the American arms dele
gates as to application of the new
four power Pacific treaty and a break
in the Chinese-Japanese negotiations
on Shantung had thrown the naval
side Of the arms conference program
today somewhat into the background.
Acceptance by France of the Ameri-
can proposal of 115,oOo tons in capi-
tai ships had placed the naval nego-
tiations on com naratively smooth road

tlons for higher ratio in small de-
fensive craft still remained to be
treated.

Lack OF Information
Delays Adjustment Of
Many Soldiers Claims
(Bv The Associated Press.


! Minneapolis, Min, Dec. 21.-Delay
in adjusting many claims of former
| service men by the Veterans Bureau
| is due, in a large measure to lack OF
| essential information supplied by the
former soldiers in their applications,
| according to c.. d. Hibbard. district
| manager for the territory of Mime
! sofa, North and South Dakota and
! Montana, Of the federal board for Vo-
| cational education, who has headquar-
| ters here.
Much criticism of alleged dilatory
tactics of the government in adjust
ing claims has been filed and inves-
tigation has proved many of these
complaints resulted from failure OF
the claimant to supply the desired
information. he said.
IAN application for compensation
| or vocational training must be prop
erly executed and filed before the bu-
reau is authorized to consider the
claim" declared Mr.. Hibbard in urg-
ing ex-Service men to take more time
in preparing their applications.
"By properly executing the appll-
cation it meant that the claimant
must answer the questions asked,
| must sign his name, and have the
same acknowledged before someone
| authorized to take acknowledgements.
!
! signature Of two persons who are ac-
| quainted with the claimant as witness

! 1.-THE second and most important
feature is that the claimant must sub
f! nit an honorable discharge from the
United States military or naval forces
| or a certified copy thereof
Mr. Hibbard added that the certif'.
/ cation should be made by an official
| 70 rEr 20 nlfhS.
| The claimant must also be able to
trace his alleged disability to the SER
! vice, or at least to prove that his con-
dition was aggravated because OF MS
having been in the sHrvice. he SAID!
Afidavits of those who were asso-
ciated with the applicant in the serv-
ice, or by those who knew of shls
physical condition previous to his en-
4 trance into the government forces
and after. his discharge, would be a
valuable help as proof. If affidavits OF
former service companions cannot DC
procured, others will be deemed suf-
! ficient if they cover the period of time
between the mans discharge and the
commencing Of the alleged Disability,
! Mr. Hibbard further stated.
Where the claimant does not fully

ction with the Veterans bureau will
solve his difficulty. Mr.. Hubbard prom

him. She admitted being engaged to
him, but had told him she would not
marry him so long as he drank.
