CINCINNATI, Nov. 25. -
Strenuous objection to the pro-

in the United St&tes in the near
future by Helimuth Won Muecke,
formerly commander of the Ger
man raider Emden, was voiced
here to-day by Captain c. Hamil-
ton Cook, national commander of
the Disabled American Veterans
Of the World War.
II was very much surprised
when / learned that Won Muecke
had the effrontery even to think
of such thing" Captain Cook
said. "He must think that the
American public either is very
short on memory or very long on
forbearance.
"The Disabled American Vet
erans of the World War will do
everything legal in their power
to see that Won Muecke is not per-

there is a chapter of the organi-

stereotyped reply; that the physician

The decentralization feature of the

absolute failure. When the claims are
