The Government is now making re-
quests issued to benefciaries of the
Veterans Bureau within five days
from the date of the receipt at the
office of the District Auditor in Min
neapolis of the request of stubs. When
reimbursements on meal and lodging
ex-service men who are benefciaries
of the Bureau are directed to report
for physical examination, hospitaliza-
ton, or for any other reason, they are
furnished with requests for regular
transportation by stage or bus lines,
and also meal and lodging requests
which they may present to restaur
ants and hotels. After the required
service is rendered, the request stubs
are sent in for payment to the District
office of the Veterans Bureau at Min
neapolis. Prior to the establishment
of the Veterans Bureau, there was
much difficulty in obtaining payments
on these requests that great many
restaurants and hotels refused to ac-
cept them, thus causing hardships to
men requesting meals and lodging. A
great deal of this so-called red tape
has now been eliminated by the effic-
lent handling of these requests and
the firms rendering service are high
ly gratifed by such prompt payment
that the ex-service man is now hav-
ing no difficulty in obtaining service
on presentation of these requests.

SOnal ana unbiased way, tHe per-
Torrance of that staff, can not help
but be productive of great good to the
performance of the whole. These pro-
cedures do not require large expendit-
ures of money, but they do require q
very material increase in expenditure
of energy and endeavor, and .>quire
bringing to the problem of hospital
administration an idea of scientific
medical practice that, if followed, can
not help but bring the hospital per-
Torrance of the country as whole to
a higher plane that has ever been at

"The hospital surveys Of the College
are conducted through trained corps
of hospital visitors, all of whom are
graduates in medicine. Their purpose
is to explain the minimum standard, to
interpret its application to each hospit-
al and to offer constructive criticism
and helpful suggestions to remedy any
existing shortcomings"
We have in North Dakota, four
hospitals, two in Fargo and two in
Bismarck which fully meet the requir-
ed standard. Why not one in Valley
City?
One of the principal requirements
aside from suitable buildings, equip
ment and efficient management, as pre-
viously stated, is the establishment of
an attending staff composed of the
ply sicians Of the city who are elig-
ible to practice in the hospital, who
meet at regular stated intervals in
conjunction with the hospital manage
ment, to discuss matters pertaining
to the betterment of the institution,
as we'll as the discussion of cases and
their treatment which are interned in
the institution. This naturally results
in the most efficient and thorough
care of all cases admitted and places
the physician or surgeon in charge of
all cases admitted and places the late
est and most approved line of treat
ment, and finally works out to the
welfare of the individual patient. This
much in general and superficial way
of what hospital should be.
"Now as to the organization of such
an institution as has been spoken of
in Valley City, In the first place, be-
cause of economic and other reasons a
Hospital controlled by or in connection
with some religious organization has
proven the most successful, and salts
factory. Naturally church in estab-
fishing Hospital must be financed, at
least to a partial extent, and for this
reason with your permission l would
suggest the appointment of a commit
tee from the different ciuDs, of which
there are several in the City, which
are working for community interests,
to plan ways and means to raise funds
by mutual subscription in order to
make possible definite offer to some
church of the amount of money neces-
sary to carry the project to success
full termination. It has been proven
within the last two years that such a
procedure is possible, by the amount of
money that has been raised for other
projects in Valley City, which, while
they are not all without merit, are &C
cording to my opinion, and think the
opinion of all of you, altogether I'M
necessary, when compared with the
crying need of the community for a
thorough and modern hospital, which
will be of mutual benefit to every bust
ness man and citizen of the citu -

AMERICA REFUSES TO
RECOGNIZE RUSSIA
Hughes Declares Sound Internal
Policy Necessary to Bring
Political Recognition

Washington, d. c. The American
government stands unshaken in its
determination that Russia must put
her own house in order before she
can expect political recognition by
the United States.
Making his first statement of policy
regarding Russian affairs since the
subject came to the fore at Genoa.
Secretary Hughes told a delegation of
women at the State department that
before any outside power could re-
sumo full relations with Russia, she
must herself adopt a policy of sound
internal reconstruction. He added
that the American people were anx-
1ous to do all they could, but would
not attempt to extend credit where
there was no sound basis for credit.
No particular form of government
was cited as desirable or undesirable
by the secretary nor did he mention
any Of the developments which have
influenced the fortunes Of the soviet
since the Genoa conference began. He
did suggest that the principle of self
government in Russia was somewhat
complicated" by the efforts of some
soviet officials to interfere in the do
mestic affairs of other nations.
The delegation to which the secre-
tary addressed his announcement rep-
resented the International League for
Peace and Freedom and had brought
to the State department a petition for
full political recognition of the soviet
regime.

Facing Starvation Unless

New Orleans.-Reports were receiv-

Harrisonburg, La, and 500 refugees
from Catahoula, Concordia and other
flooded parishes in that section faced
starvation unless food supplies
reached them soon. AS a result of
the appeals for help, various agencies
Immediately redoubled their efforts to
transport food stocks into the flooded
area.
A steamboat loaded with provisions
was reported to be en- route to Harri-

from the surrounding country were
expected to reach the town shortly.
This, it was recognized, would in

CARS BUCKLE AND TAKE FIRE
Bodies Are Hurled Some Distance
Engine Was One of the Largest
On the System-Ten Cars
Destroyed BY Fire.

Meyersdale, Pa.-Three members of
the crew Of a fast Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad freight train were killed
when the locomotive was blown TO
pieces by an explosion of undetermin-
ed cause, just east of Fairhope. The
10 cars following the engine buckled
and were destroyed by fire that fol-
lowed the explosion
The dead are:
1. X. Conway, aged 46, OF Cumber-
land, Md, engineer.
o. E. Newcomer, aged 3S, of Con-
nellsville, fireman.
II. L. Parker, aged q, of Ursina,
brakeman.
The accident occurred while the
train was moving at good speed and
is believed to have come with little
warming The locomotive, No. 7156,
one of the largest on the system, lit
orally was blown to bits.
Three other members of the crew,
in a caboose at the end of the train,
were unhurt. They found Conway's
body on an eastbound track, Newcom-
er's in the fifth car behind the engine
and Parker's down an embankment at
the right of the tracks. Parker's
body was not found until some hours
after the accident.
The 10 cars behind the engine
buckled and piled together. The re-
sulting fire at first did not seem Sc
rious, but with no means of extin-
gushing it, members of the crew
could do little to stop its spread. The
cars soon were a mass of flames and
the remainder of the train was saved
by disconnecting it and showing it
down the tracks
The train was en- route from Cum
berland, Md, to Connellsville, where
change of engine and crew was to
be made.
