HARDING MAY
RAISE PAY Of
DISABLED VETS
Compensation for Rehabilitat-
cd Men After Hospital Dis
charge Called Inadequate.
BY Universal Service.

An effort is to be made by the
President to increase the compensa'
ton for so-caIled rehabilitated vete'
rams. 1t was announced today.
Numerous complaints have reach
ed the bureau Of men who were
discharged from the hospitals under
such conditions that they could not
exist. There are 1000 such cases on
record It was stated.
While under treatment in a Gov
ernment hospital the veterans re,
ceived $50 monthly in addition to
free disqualification. Upon discharge
and return to his home this sum
is invariably reduced, in many in
stances to a sum as low as $40
monthly. This is worked on the
theory that while a veteran Is in
a hospital he is a total disability
and receives the maximum compen.
sation. Upon discharge the dis.
ability" is reduced.
Brigadier General Sawyer, In
charge Of disqualification, said to.
day that II worked a hardship and
injustice and that efforts would be
made to remedy it. He points out
that in many instances the $50 is
surplus. while the veteran is under
treatment. but upon discharge be.
comes a necessity.

DAVIS SEEKING
BAR To ALIEN
UNDES|RABLES
Secretary Drafts Amendment
to the 8 Per cent Law.
Would List Foreigners.
BY International News Service.

Amendment Of the 8 per cent i'm
migration restriction law to secure
a higher standard Of immigrants is
being sought by Secretary Of Labor
Davis, II was learned today.
Secretary Davis believes that the
8 per cent limitation law permits
too many undesirables to come into
the country because the general i'm.
migration laws give to foreign pow.
ers the right to say who shall be
included within the per cent limi-
tation.
He has strongly recommended that
q restriction be placed upon immi.
grants by requiring higher stand.
ard through compulsory examina.
ton by blood, physical, mental and
character tests before embarking for
the United States.
Davis has prepared an amendment
to the per cent law which will
require compliance with these tests
before any nation will be permitted
to use Its per cent maximum Of
immigrants. This amendment will
shortly be introduced in Congress.
Secretary Davis is also urging the
enactment Of legislation requiring
the enrolment or registration Of
every alien In the United States. 1t
was pointed out that such registra.
ton would give the Government &C.
curate information concerning all
aliens who take part In such out
RACES as recently occurred in Herrin,
Ill. and Gary, Ind, and facilitate
their deportation as undesirables.

Growing Interest in Revival Meetings

The large audience which well filled the
Methodist church last Sunday evening
emphasized the growing interest in the
revival meetings now entering the fifth
week of continuous services. Such re-
markable and continued growth in public
support of this type of campaign clearly
indicates the talent and ability of the
leader, Miss Frances B. Adams, the Scot.
tish evangelist.
Conversions are frequent and numerous
already. Miss Adams has been impor-
tuned to take up her labors in six other
churches at the close of the meetings in
Belfast as a result of the spreading inter-
est of her work in this city. A delegation
from Monmouth arrived on Saturday
evening to remain until Monday and at
tend these services.
The Rope sermon of last Sunday
evening was strong appeal to withstand
the thrall of evil habits, and the self
deception, practiced so ofteo, that one
can break away was emphasized by Z
strong rope, the smallest fibres of which
snapped easily, but which when twisted
together and bound about the speakers
body held tightly against her utmost ef-
forts to break away. A breathless and
silent congregation watched to the end
this dramatic presentation of truth.
Miss Charlotte Knowlton sang beauti.
fully "One Softly Solemn Thought ac-
companied on the organ by Mr.. Edward
Martin, oresnist for the evening.
The children's meetings grow in inter-
est. The meetings for women and girls
only are enthusiastically supported. Tho

ing many to prayer for the success of the
meetings.

der of the week follows:

An Immediate Need

The A. R. C. is taking general charge

supplies are being rushed as rapidly as
possible to the refugees from Asia Minor
and the victims of the Smyrna disaster.
There are thousands homeless and cold
and starving. An urgent call is sent out
for garments of all kinds, especially for
women and children garments whole
and clean and ready to wear, lest thou
sands perish from the cold. AS soon as
possible production of layettes and other
garments will begin in the Waldo County
Chapter, as it has already begun in many
places. In the meantime all who can do
so are asked to send whatever clothing
they can collect to Mrs. Essie P. Carle,

THE ELECTIONS

AS we 60 to press it seems certain
that Senator Lodge has been reelected
by safe majority and that the Bay
State will have Republican governor
for the next two years. New York
State appears to have gone Democratic.
The solidity of the South seems to be un-
broken. Returns ere coming in slowly
but it seems certain that the Republic
cans will retain control of the National
Senate and House. Returns thus far re-
ceived indicate that in most States there
was light vote. There were two U. S.
senators elected in Pennsylvania. Re-
turns received thus far show that both
Republican candidates were elected by
large majorities.
