WOUNDED MEN
IN WORLD WAR
MEET In WEST
Convention for Betterment of
Disabled American Veter-
ans Is Being Held in
San Francisco.
TO. ASK CARE FOR SICK
Demand for Adequate Hospitals
for Tubercular Patients
Will Be Part of
Program.

by United Press
SAN Francisco, June 27.-Twenty
thousand men who were wounded, dis.
abled or partially disabled in the World
War me, in San Francisco yesterday for
the annual convention of the Disabled
Veterans of the World War.
Betterment of their own condition and
the conditions Of all men who fought
to keep the world safe for Democracy"
was to be the main topic before the
convention.
The delegates began arriving last week.
Some were on crutches. A large pro-
portion carried canes for something
more than decoration. Here and there
was a man with one arm gone. Scores
wore heavy glasses which told a story
of eyesight nearly gone.
Ii was a gathering Of the men who
had fought and bled and they came with
a solemn thought for their comrades who
had died.
Demands for adequate hospitals for
mental and tubercular cases were TO Oc-
cupy a prominent part in the conven-
ton program. Reports ready to be laid
before the convention showed that num-
bers of men mentally disabled are be.
ing crowded into private and public in
stitutions where they sleep on the floors
at night and men suffering from tuber:
culosis contracted during the war are
walking the streets Of cities and villages
without hospital facilities to care for
them.
Predictions were made by officials Of
the organization that resolutions con-
demning delay and ineficiency in spend
ing millions already appropriated for
hospitals would be passed.
Vocational training will probably rank
next in Importance. Experts of the or
ganiiation have prepared report on
forms of rehabilitation to be submitted
for the conventions consideration.
Not all of the convention week, how.
ever, will be devoted to hard work.
Elaborate plans for entertainment have
been made by the citizens Of San Fran
cisco.
Probably the most imposing patriotic
spectacle seen in the West since the
war will take place today. when
the veterans will parade through the
streets of San Francisco. Those who
can will march. For those who cannot
march conveyances will be provided.
The parade will be headed by a
Living Hall of Fame"-48 men chosen
one from each state in the Union.
Each man will be chosen by the gov.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
MEETING ENDS
Cooperation in Religious Ed
ucation Is Emphasized at
Last Session.

! 3, Uaifed Press.
KANSAS CRY, June 27-The last day
of the Sixteenth International Sunday
| School Convention, proclaimed by those
present as the greatest ever held. opened
with the singing of the convention hymn,
"Cird Thyself for Each Days Need.
Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, resident
Bishop Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
at Boston, was the first speaker. He point
ed out the opportunities awaiting the new
International Sunday School Council OF
Religious Education in making effective
the national campaign Of religious edu-
cation and urged cooperation by every
agency, so that prejudice, denomination
alism or anything else may not stand in
the way of making North America Chris
tian to the very core.
DIR. Henry H. Meyer. New York, Editor
Sunday School Publications Of the Meiho
dist Episcopal Church, spoke on Build
ing Together" He analyzed the ele-
ments entering into such cooperation and
illustrated how the Sunday school forces
of the several denominations are really
the shock troops in bringing Protesiantism
into a united, practical Christian force.
In discussing Home and Religious Ed
ucation," Bishop William NJ. Bell Of Har,
risburg, stated that Fathers and mothers
have a responsibility for the religious
training of their children in the home
that is inescapable. The work of the home
cannot be prned over to any proxy un-
der the sum-: The church and school teach
the race after the home has had the first
chance, so that good and great as they
are, they can never entirely recover hu-
man life from the hurt of bad or in
efficient home.'' The home is the old
est institution in the history OF the race"

Excerpts From the Sermon Delivered
By Rev. ]. P. Hardesty, Pastor Of the
Slaton Baptist Church inRepy dieter

"Think not that ! came TO send
peace on the earth, came not 20
send peace, but sword. FOR
came to set man at variance
against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daugh-

that the gospel Of Jesus Christ

That while Jesus Christ was pro

the same time the peace and me
light which He brought into the
world also brought with il division
and confusion. And the next scrip

why the coming Of the Prince OF
Peace brought confusion and dlvis

In John 3:19 and 20.

Some time ago the pastor Of the
Baptist church at Slaton, Texas, re-
ceived the following letter;

THE above letter bore no sigma
ture except that Of a skull and
crossbones, with four red dots
around the skull. 1t was printed
with pencil, and the address had
the name spelled differently from
the inside.)
The pastor will make public reply
to the above communications IN ms
pulpit Sunday night. He will call
a spade a SPADE. He viii deliver
some hot shots and tell the people
where he expects to move TO. Inc

much more said by the pastor re-
garding his statement made in Lub-

but these are the words bearing di-
rectly upon the letter:
