BIG SHAKE UP IN VETERANS BUREAU IS FORESHADOWED ]
Many Charges Made Against Department-Probe Now Being Made By Execu-
 tive Department
lcontlnuea From Page one.r

Miller, LOW alien property custodian, will be first choice for the place. Colonel Miller, however. is believed to prefer to stay at his present post, and it Is said that the selection may fall ultimately on Frank DOlier, who was the first national commander of the American Legion.
 Officials will not talk about the facts already turned up by the pres ent inquiry. William J. Burns, chief of the justice departments inyestiga- ton bureau, declined today to dis cuss the case or to confirm reports that his agents had been at work on 1t. Officials of the veterans bu- reau itself professed ignorance of neither any part had been taken in the inquiry by any one connected with the department of justice.
 The legal division of the veterans bureau is called on daily to pass judgment on expenditures that run into enormous totals. During the present fiscal year the money in- volved in contracts which pass through the hands of the general counsel and his subordinates has amounted to s400, 100000. These ex- penditures are made from a lump sum" appropriation of Congress and it has been pointed out that it would be surprising if in the handling of so large an amount some part of the appropriation was not diverted for purposes other than those Congress had in mind in au- thorizing the expenditures.
 Another phase, that of the employ ment of civilians, is understood to be receiving attention. Thousands of claims of disabled veterans and others entitled to aid are passed upon by the legal staff and not the least of the complaints of critics oi the bureau have been aimed at what has been termed lack of sympathy within the legal division with the problems and needs of the veterans
 Bureau officials contend that the legal division employees IA civilian to IT World war veterans. If tho former were all discharged and in- experienced former service men re- placed them, it would materially re- tard the work of granting proper claims, these officials assert.

HALF SCORE
 ARE INJURED BY BIG BLAST
Citizens of City Injured Two Miles From Scene of Ex- pIosion-BuiIdingS Are Wrecked-CarS Are
 Buried in Debris

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Feb. |. The explosion today of the gas purifying plant of the Springfield Gas and Light company, on the wes- tern edge of the business district, brought death to three persons, caused injuries to scores of others and damaged property to the ex- tent of several hundred thousand dollars. The shock was felt 20 miles away. Houses in nearby district of tenements and flats were made un- inhabitable and 50 families were driven out. The state constabulary and extra police were sent to the damaged area, while four compan- ies of national guardsmen were held under arms.
 Known Dead
 The known dead are:
 Henry ". Egnor, bystander. killed by falling walls; Stanley M. Travinski, a passerby, also struck down by debris; Frank A. Coleman, an employe of the gas works who was in the building.
 The injured were struck down over e wide area. In office buildings, city hall, the court house. banks and other places within a radius of two miles persons were hurt: those near the scene by wreckage from the explosion proper; those farther distant by crashing glass, fallen ceilings, or dislodged objects Several automobiles in the vicinity were buried in wreckage and their occupants injured.
 The citys famous civic group of buildings, the tall tower of the Cam panic, flanked by the city hall and the auditorium, which are about a quarter of a mile east of the scene of the explosion. were shaken ab- most windowless. Memorial hall more to the south, did not have a whole pane of glass left. The Springfield Institution for Savings, a shadowy structure, was wrecked when the glass roof caved in. The court house was shaken but less e. verely damaged.
 The gas company's offices, the Springfield Electric Light company s building and other places in the vicinity had to close.
 Main street the city's chief busi- ness thoroughfare, and other busi-
 
 thed had been under wartime bonn bardment Plate glass windows were blown out In many places.
 Cause Is Mystery
 Ambulances took injured away from buildings in most parts of the city to every available hospital and 10 the Nayaset club, which, al. though near the explosion, escaped damage and was converted into 2 hospital.
 Explanation of the explosion was lacking. Officially the gas light company said fhe cause was unde- termined. Arthur s. Hall, superin- tendent. said he could account Cor it only on the theory that slow leals of gas had caused an accumulation under the roof and that this ga: pocket became ignited and blew up He asserted that the machinery which constituted most of the plant was virtually intact, and that the damage practically was limited tC roof and walls.
 All workmen insisted they saw nc fire or light before the blast, and Hall said he was seeking an explana- tion of the ignition in the electrical apparatus.

My beloved country led the world with it's rev olution and it's declaration of Lib erty, equality, fraternity" and for time they became absolute realities, as absolute as conditions then pre- vailing could make them. And France still is a good land to live in for the principles she fought for are still living force. But America has carried those principles further, has given them new meaning and breathed into them a vitality that renders them proof against all pass ing shocks.
 In Europe they are subject to eclipse, because in the subconscious mind of the people centuries of sug- gestions have not yet been obliter- ated. Europe Mas. indeed, solved many social problems. but has not had time to forget the difficulties, the obsession of which disturbs them still from time to time. For in stance. the struggle between democ- racy and autocracy. America, on the contrary, has been freed of all such hampering auto suggestion, and has therefore been enabled to move for ward with swifter' strides.
 1 might also point to the position of religious thought as an illustra tion of my argument. A fresh breeze of freedom of discussion blows through every avenue of thought, preventing stagnation and dogmatic decay Nowhere in the world, to my knowledge, is there such a lively in terest manifested in church matters as in America; and nowhere is there such tolerant liberality. Here the church, or religion. or religious thought-calI it what you willis an active element in the life of the people. Consequently, it lives and develops. Without going into the present controversy raised by Dr. Stickney Grants challenge of the Divinity of Christ, I may mention it as an admirable example of a vigor- ous national spirit, eager to push away every obstacle to the march of intellect.
 The ideals of America are new. The idea of the League of Nations could only have germinated and de- veloped in the minds of a people who themselves constitute family of

 America, the savior of civilization or the founder of a new one-may one day be the new and greater symbol of the statue Gf liberty in New York harbor.
 There are politicali students and thinkers who see in the present chaos of Europe convincing evidence of the decline of what we call modern civ ilization. They believe that the war has hastened the passing of an era, and that the final collapse is at hand; that the thousand year old edifice of western culture is crumbling to dust as in past epochs the proud pillars of Rome, Greece and Egypt tottered and fell when their destiny was ac- complished.
 l am not pessimist, and I refuse to believe that our civilization is indeed foundering already. And did believe it I would discourage such sombre predictions, for the law of suggestion is immutable. and to dis seminate them is to facilitate and hasten their realization. As I have explained, and I hope, demonstrated, every idea tends to become reality. As the sick man aggravates his sick ness by dwelling upon it, and the aged shortens his days by thinking they are numbered so nations and races hurry their own downfall by allowing the suggestion of it to sink into their souls.
 Yet, were the light of European culture to be extinguished. the torch of civilization would still be kept burning by America. Who can visit suis country without being persuaded of it's fitness for such a glorious des- tiny? There has been much to i'm

THREAT IGNORED

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-Attorney General A. V. Coco said today that his office could take no official cogni- zance of the threatening letter re- ceived several days ago by Mayor Robert L. Dade of Mer Rouge, La, in which the mayor was warned to leave that town within 10 days or be killed.
 MT. Coco said the identity of the author of the communication had not been learned and intimated that 1t might have been the work of a crank CT joker, and declared that until such time as an attempt was made to put the threat into exeeu- tion his office would be unable to act in the matter.
 It was learned at the attorney generals office that the transcrib- ing of testimony taken at the Bas- trop open hearing will be completed before March 1 and that Mir. Coco would be ready to present the states case when the new Morehouse grand jury conVenes at Bastrop on the first day of next month.

COUE SEES AMERICA. SA WING CIVILIZATION
Europe Condemns Itself by Suggestion Founder ing of Old Order Hastened by Pessimsn-Famous Healer Believes Torch of Culture Must Be Kept Fam- ing by New World Unhampered by Tradition

press and astound me here, but one scf the yividest impressions I shall take away with me will be the telling of having been among new people,, a new people who have begun to climb where others had stopped, and whose best attachments have far outstrio2ed the best of other nations. Why IS this? It must be because America started untrammeled by the load of traditions borne by the peoples of the old world, and her spirit or genius was free to develop on new and independent lines. Ira ditions" in this sense are nothing but suggestions" operating cease 1essly, automatically with ever-accu- mulating force, upon the whole pop ulatioh through succeeding genera tions.
 Of course the earlier generations of Americans were still under the influence of their legacy of tradi- tions. But the chain was broken. The virgin sorests made a fit cradle for the birth of a new nation and a new mind. Autosuggestion would continue to mould them, and their destinies. but it would flow from fresh, un- sullied source emanating from the unfathomable mystery of life to sup ply humanity with the elements of progress.
 That America has built a new foundation fer her spiritual home, nay, for new civilization, is proved by her political and social institu- tions and by her whole trend of na- tional thought today, although this is not the place for proper analysis of them. Reminiscent as they obviously must be of older ones. they neverthe- less differentiate widely from them in most essentials. There are certain superficial resemblances, but noth- ing like the fundamental sameness of principles which strikes one in all European countries.

states. Europeans welcomed it but, tainted by traditions. theirs concep- tion clashed with the fresher one of the United States; so the latter with drew thus obeying- VI the imperious call of the spirit of 3 new civilization, seorning to build upon an old foundation.
 There is more evidence of this new spirit in the harmony in which off. shoots of score or more Of t1ffer- ent races live together on this side of the Atlantic. They are being. welded together in the making of a nation-a God-like achievement. Contrast this with the pitiful strife and futile jealousy that tears Eu- rope, simply because it's inhabitants do not happen all to be of what is called in our still puerile language the same nationality or creed!
 We see the same differences in everything, even in the little details of everyday life, even in Americas worst manifestations of materialism There is always something to show that she had a new starting point Her skyscrapers could not have origi- mated in the mind of European architect.

HOME REMEDIES OF OUR
 ANCESTORS

Almost every man and woman in Amer ica can remember the botanic recipes of our mothers and grandmothers for the treatment of disease and they were won derfully dependable too. Every fall there were stored away in the attic thorough wort, pennyroyal, catnip. sage. wormwood. rue etc, for treating ills of the family during the winter months that followed. In 1873, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was first prepared from one of these botanic recipes, and the demand for it has increased to such an extent that hundreds of tons of roots and herbs are now used annually in it's preparation. It has recently been proved that 9s out of every 100 women who try it have been benefited by it's use which is B marvellous record for any medicine to hold.-Adv.

MEXICAN STREET RIOT 25 MEMBERS OF CREW COSTS LIVES OF TENI MISSING ON ATLANTIC


 NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 1-(By As- sociated Press) Efforts to locate the D members of the crew of steamer Buttonwood, who took to the small boats when their vessel caught fire in the Lynn Haven roads just before last midnight, had proved fruitless up to late this afternoon. The men put off during heavy fog and it was thought they may have landed on a remote section of the shore, but attempts of the owners and agents of the steamer to verify this were of no avail throughout tie day.

The message follows closely the substance of dis patches from Moscow, but it appeared unlikely today that the Washington government would take notice of the communication.

STORM STRIKES EAR WEST

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.-The storm which yesterday and today visited southern California, bringing cold, rain, hail and snow to Los Angeles and nearby cities, centered this aft ernoon in the local harbor district, where 45-mile gale worked havoc among the shipping.
 The naval seaplane F-5-L-1, moored in the outer harbor, broke away un- der the lash of the southeaster and piled up on a reef nearby.
 Boats sent to the assistance of the seaplane followed the plane onto the reef. None of these mishaps resulted in loss of life or serious injury.
 A heavy hailstorm swept the water front, and early today considerable ice was to be seen.
