The number af former service men receiving voca-
tiOnal training is 1os,2oo. The average received per
month by each man is S115. This includes compen-
sation which goes to families. In addition, the gov
ernment supplies the men with books, tools, medical
care, transportation, tuition in schools, etc.
Other figures on wounded and disabled men are
as follows:
Approximately 10000 are now in hospitals.
The total number wounded is 20S,526.
The total number discharged for disability is
Psi, 1916.
The government is paying compensation on 5O,42o
death claims and 156,539 disability cases.
The amount paid last month for this compensation
was $40, 34o,0 900.
The government is paying insurance on 3 1850
death claims and 6299 disability claims.
The amount paid in war risk term insurance last
month was $S,454,069.17.
The committed value of war risk term insurance
allowed by the government is 81, 1916, 1886. 10.
If there is any duty which lies upon the heart of
President Harding more constantly than all others, it
is that of providing for the disabled man who fought
for the United States during the late war. He has
emphasized his sense of responsibility many times.
and has more than performed all that duty required
in impressing upon congress the need of forethought
and liberality in providing for these men. As for
congress, 1t is sufficient to say that every dollar esti-
mated for by the executive departments has been
appropriated. In no other branch of governmental
activity is this the case. 1t is only in dealing with
former service men that congress has met the esti-
mates without cutting off a single dollar.
Soon the country will have before it the proposal
for a bonus as worked out by the senate ommitte
Whether this plan will be approved by the president
remains to be developed after conferences. Alter
native plans are suggested, and perhaps there will
be notifications resulting in a satisfactory compro-
mise. President Harding has frequently said that
he would not approve of bonus legislation which did
not provide means of raising the required revenue.
The appropriations in behalf of former service men
have been made by congress without thought of par
tisanship. Just as all partsans fought in the war
without drawing political lines, so congress draws
no lines when providing for the nations defenders.
It would be a pity to see bonus legislation injected
into the forthcoming campaign as a political bone of
contention. If a bonus bill should be enacted, it will
be by the votes of all parties.

Republican Congress and the Soldiers

blending DECISION of congress and the presi-
u dent on the bonus question" observes the Wash
ington Post, "it is well to glance at the record Of the
government in its treatment of soldiers and sailors of
the late war. IL it appears that the government has
been liberal and thoughtful in its care of these men,
there will be less disposition on the part of any one to
suggest that the delay in bonus legislation is due to
disregard of right or justice in dealing with former
service men.
A statement compiled by the government author
tiles, made public yesterday. throws much light upon
the governments attitude toward its defenders. The
figures are brought up to April 1, and show that a
total of 81 ,99e, 26o,634 has been appropriated for the
welfare of soldiers and sailors of the late war, in such
items as family allowances, insurance, hospitals, voca-
tional training, etc. The appropriations for the fiscal
year 1923 are s4o6,oSs,s 42 for these purposes. Thus
the United States is expanding more than s. 1000 900

Whether or not this new form OF

that other nations nave fought during
the past two hundred years. II can
be Judged by comparing the homes Of

These Were Outdoor
Sports At Big Toast
Steaks and Onions Proved Best
Kind of Feed; William
Polchow Host.

Members of the Outdoor Sports
club were entertained last evening
by William Poichow, one Of the
South Front street BARRIERS and an
outdoor sports enthusiast.
Invitations were sent out by radio
to fifty but the machine must have
been tuned improperly, for only four
responded.
knowing that sportsmen always
have tremendous appetites, Mr.. Pol
chow purchased several large, thick
Juicy steaks and an abundance OF
onions. The lady of the house be-
ing away on a visit, the duties OF
chef fell upon Doc" Morrow one of
the gluttons of the bunch, who fried
the steaks to just the richest turn.
Frank B. Madigan, wo had a date
with Frank Landkamer and Otto
Lamm for a bowling game, ate so
much steak that he was foundered
for about two hours and was unable
to keep his date.
The host who was designated as
the champion boat rover Of the club,
during the serving Of the banquet
ate several large onions lust like
an apple" Madigan says that it
was not overeating that caused his
distress last night it was Polchow's
breath that doped him.
Ben Iverson, who had done kit
chen police" overseas, was delegated
to wash the dishes after the party,
which was held at the home Of Mr..
Polchow on West Fourth street.
