Col. Forves Answers Criti.
cism of Veterans Bureau.
10000 on Waiting List.

There are at present over 100000
disabled veterans in training under
the United States Veterans Bureau.
according to Col. Charles X. Forbes.
who, in statement today, answers
the recent criticism Of the bureau.
Thirty thousand men are now wait
ing to be assigned to training. the
statement ssys. but they are unable
TO receive such training because of
inadequate training facilities. The
bureau expects that there will be
100000 men eligible Cor vocational
training within the next few years.
Col. Forbes believes that these men
should be provided training In gov
ernment vocational schools, and not
be left to private institutions not
yet established. He contends chat
many such schools would be In
to obtain the tuition paid by the gov
ernment for the training OF these men.
Must Have Extra SCHOOLS.
A survey completed by the Vet
erans Bureau shows that there are
not enough accredited colleges and
universities III the country'to absorb
an additional population or 21c.eO0
disabled men.
1T is not the intention Of the Vet
Grams Bureau to tale men out OF ac-
credited colleges OF out OF placement

isfactory Progress" Col. Forbes said.
At the recent rehabilitation confer
ence Of leading educators, members or

taken Supporting the Veterans Bu-
reau on the government vocational

Col. Robert l. Rees. the assistant
director in charge Of the rehabiiita-

from an inspection of the school at
Chillicothe. Ohio. He. reports as fol-
lows:
"The men are doing excellent work.
Over 80 per cent Of the men were in
attendance in the classes. Less than
10 per cent were absent on account
Of sickness caused by their. disa abili-
ties. Inc courses are laid out 10
meet practical problems which the
men will be up against when they
complete their training. There was
one End Division man there who had
spent ten months in training in car
pentry at an eastern school. He
stated that he learned more in six
weeks at Chillocothe through the
practical instruction offered there
thaa he had learned in the ten months
in institutional training. In three
weeks time all the necessary ap-
paratus for thorough instruction will
be installed at this school. The hous-
ing facilities are satisfactory and the
men are happy and contented. The
chairman OF the soldiers sorganiza-
ton at Chiilocothe said the men as
a whole were contented. There is a
small percentage of malcontents.

May Appeal to Senate
to Restore $4,000, 600 ),
Water Supply Item

If the District appropriation bill
passes the House without an item to
continue work on the city's new
water supply the Commissioners will
endeavor to convince the Senate of
the necessity of providing for that
project. - ~.
Commissioner Rudolph, chairman
of the board, said he realizes the
danger to which Washington would
be exposed if construction of the new
conduit should be postponed, and he
voiced the hope that the $4,000
asked for to carry on the work during
the next fiscal year will be restored
to the District bill before it becomes
law.
Engineer Before Committee. -,
When Maj. NJ. c. Tyler, engineer
officer in charge of the aqueduct, tes-
titled before the Davis subcommittee
of the House on the need for $3,O00,-
900 for conduit contraction during the
next fiscal year he was asked by
members Of the committee il any
thing had happened recently to cause
fear that the existing water works
might break under their, present
strain.
Mai. Tyler replied that nothing
alarming had occurred. except that
there are. general signs OF deterfora.
ton in the existing conduit, such as
the dropping Of mortar from between
the bricks 31.
Since that, time, however, an incl.
dent has occurred which demonstrates
the danger of postponing for another
year the beginning of real work on
the new conduit.
About week or ten days ago an
engine at the Mcmillan Park ultra
tion plant went out Of service one
night. Had it not been possible to
repair it promptly Maj. Tyler would

SUGGESTED TREATY
ON PRIVATE CLAIMS
New Agreement Between
U. S. and Germany
Possible. !. !. q. Il.

Following a decision reported to
have been reached last night at q
conference at the White House be-
tween President Harding and Secre-
tary of State Hughes and leaders of
the Senate and House. 1t Is considered
likely that a new treaty between this
country and Germany for arbitration
of private claims growing out Of the
war will he negotiated.
At the same conference It was
agreed to lend to Liberia $4,000. 900,
which will be prov ided for in an ad-
ministratfon bill soon to be submitted
to Congress. 1t Is explained that this
involves merely a renewal of a $6,-
100000 loan agreement made during
the war. The loan was never con-
summated and authority for lending
the money expired with the establish
ment of peace status.
United states Rights Reserved,
Under the treaty OF Berlin, by which
the United States concluded. peace
with Germany, the United States re-
served the right to join with the al
lies in arbitral commissions already
est ablished abroad for the adjudica :
ton of claims. Tha question of the
United States Joining in this COM
mission was id 10 have been thor
oughly canvassed by the President
with Secretary Hughes and the Sem
ate apd House lesders. many Of whom
are members Of the committees deal
ing with foreign relations. II Amer
lea were to participate in the estab-
lfshed arbitration commission under
the treaty Of Versailles. 1t was said
that action within three weeks would
be necessary. Because of the recog-
nized hostility Of many republican
senator's to any sort OF participation
in engagements OF the Versailles
treaty. the consensus of opinion at
last nights conference was said to be
that action under the treaty Of Ber-
lin would be impracticable.
Secretary Hughes was said to have
expressed the opinion. with concur
renee OF the congressional leaders,
that negotiation Of new treaty with
the German government to get up the
would be a simpler solution. The
President took the question under ad-
visement and his visitors said they
believed that the new treaty could be
promptly negotiated and ratified with
little difficulty.

the conference were: Secretary

lations committee: Chairman Porter
