Many Gases on
Calendar Of
U. S. Court of Claims

+ Washington, D. c., Oct 13-The
United States Court of Claims has
reconvened with a calendar of large
and important cases for the winter
term Upon the court docket there
are actions involving approximately
S300,o00000 arising out of the coun-
try's activities during the world war
and the influx Of these cases las only
begun. the ultimate aggregate Of such
claims being estimated at between
so 600, 900 900 and $4,000, 600, 900
These actions are brought into the
court by plaintiffs having claims
against all department of the Gov
ernne nent--tae War Department, in
which claims involving approximate
" 5000 100000 have been hled; the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue, which
has before it claims for refunds and
rebates amounting to many millions;
the Shipping Board where cancella-
tions alone involve over $3.50, goo, 900;
claims for patent infringement of
which 5000, 100000 have already been
filed In the various courts, claims
made by the railroads amounting to
approximately s2,250, 0,00O00o; claims
proportionately large arising from the
Housing Corporation, War Risk Bu-
reau, Food and Fuel Administrations
and a large amount Of claims OF mis-
cellaneous character
/ The variety OF claims pending in
the court is almost unlimited. in
cluding actions for requisitioning of
ships and railroads, transportation of
troops. ammunition and supplies, in
fringenent of patents for high ex-
plosives, submarine boats and tor
pedoes, wireless and radio apparatus,
contracts for anti aircraft engines
and guns, military and naval sup
plies and ammunition appropriation
of camp sites ana naval bases, to-
gether with contracts for manufac-
turing and acts of comma ndeering of
almost endless diversity.
There are many novel and interest
ing questions raised, especially in
suits for infringement of patent.
One inventor claims sl,oooooo for the
little packet books of stamps that are
sold to the public at every post
once. AnOCner claims 1naC as early
as 1905 he invented gliding ma
chine involving the principle upon
which every airplane operated by the
Government is constructed and If
successful may recover s10,00000
and s995,000 is asked for infringement
in the manufacture of torpedoes, and
about s30,000,c00 for radio apparatus.
Claims are made for injuries to per
son and property by mail trucks and
reimbursement is claimed by farmers
for destruction of lands and crops by
alighting mail planes. The owner of
intoxicating liquors whose supply has
been illegally confscated by Jealous
prohibition enforcement agents seeks
indemnity in money damages.
In preparation for the disposition
of this new business the Court of
Claims has so cleared the dockets
that not only pending suits but ac-
tions based upon war claims are re-
ceiving immediate attention and all
cases are disposed of as rapidly as
they are prepared and presented for
counsel

Whatever may be the immediate
results Of putting a popular Republt-
can ticket in the field down in Vir-
ginia, and looking for its support
among the white Democrats rather
than among the colored population.
it is pretty certain the offlce-holders'
oligarchy will get jar likely to start
the seams The address of Henry w.
Anderson. the Republican nominee
would indicate a foen1an worthy Of
the steel of any Virginian It is not
vituperative but is an araignment
which we'll might make any aspirant
for public favor under the present
regime decidedly uneasy. He shows
that thirty years of unmolested
domination of the affairs of Virginia
under the name of the Democratic
party but really under the dictation
of a few Office holders has given into
the power of this little oligarchy not
only the political but the economic
affairs Of the state. In the matter of
the public schools it appears the
state has 1000 officials of which but
one, the superintendent, is elected by
the people. Out of eighteen million
dollars expended for that state gov
ernment in 1920 Mr. Anderson de-
clares but s1s5,ooo,, which mostly
came from inspection fees paid by the
farmers, was expended for agricul-
tural purposes. Virginia may yet
wake up.

Oft times the strange thought comes
to you and me
That we have lived through these
same scenes before
Perhaps in some old life whose
memory
Has died q million years ago, or
more!
Above the grave OF that old life that
So buried there beneath the CEN
turies,
A ghost of memory sometimes may
rise
A ghost too restless there to lie at
ease,
Too vague to take again the form it
wore,
Yet potent still to make US feel and
know
That as the stage is set, twas set Of
yore-
ST. looked and spoke the actors long
ago!
Comes such a haunting memory to tell
That once Of old, as now, I knew you
we'll!
