TO COOPERATE WITH BUREAU
Legion viii Assist Veterans Branch In
Aiding Former Warriors Serving
Time In institutions.

The American Legion will cooperate
with the United States veterans bu-
reau in the extension of vocational
training and medical rehabilitation TO
the $4,000 veterans of the World war
serving sentences in federal and state
penal institutions, Joe Sparks, chair
man of the Legion's national rehabili-
tation committee, has announced.
Veterans bureau officials believe
that there are many men now serving
sentences who may be unaware that
the bureau is interested in their we'll
being and possibly others whose i'm
prisonment may be due TO conditions
resulting from war service. Of the 49,
600 imprisoned, only about 1000 are
receiving benefits from the bureau.
Legion officials may be named by
courts as guardians for mentally dis
abled veterans under the proposed
plan Many mentally incompetent ex-
service men are said to be suffering
from lack Of proper guardianship, and
their condition renders them Incapable
of instituting court action in their
favor
1t Is probable that the new plan will
first be tried out in the federal prisons
ar Atlanta, Leavenworth and Mcneil
Island, Seattle. Veterans bureau ply
sicians. mental specialists and voca-
tionsl educators would be permitted
to survey the institutions to determine
the nature Of rehabilitation measures
to be taken. The plan may later in.

SAD WELCOME AWAITS THEM
Mother, Brother, Sweetheart, En- Route
From Europe Will Find Young
Soldier Dead.

Louis Kosmen is dead in a st. Paul,
MINI. hospital.
From somewhere In Central Europe
an aged widowed mother, a dark
haired lass of nineteen and a lad OF
fourteen recently started on long
awaited Journey to far-off America to
rejoin the son, sweetheart and big
brother believed to be ready to greet
them after years Of separation.
For eighteen long years Louis Kos
men had pursued the blue bird Of hap
piness. Through prosperity and pow
erty, on battlefelds and in hospitals
he had followed, always with the
dream that some day he would be able
to send for the loved ones to come to
him in the promised land Of America.
At last Kosmen believed he could
see the fulillment of his dreams.
Through the aid Of his American Lee
gion pals with whom he had served in
the World war, the red tape Of gov
eminent immigration regulations had
been cut and he had cabled word to
the waiting loved ones that they
should come to him in his American
home. The lines Of fatigue faded from
his toil-worn face and the discouraged
droop disappeared from his shoulders
as he thought of seeing once more his
mother and little brother and his prom
Used bride.
Then came illness. The doctor told
him that disease contracted while serv-
Ing in the American army during the
war would necessitate an operation.
Recently he went onto the operating
table. The next day he was dead.
When but lad of fifteen, Kosmen,
heir of a once wealthy and influential
Albanian family. had been sent to
Greece to escape the Turks. His father
was killed by them. Before he left he
was betrothed, according to the Gus
tom OF his country, to baby Aspasia
Gerdan. In following years he fought
the Turks, served in their prisons was
wounded, escaped and finally came to
the United States where he set to work
to build up a comfortable home for his
remaining loved ones. III fortune pur-
sued him. After accommodating consid-
cradle money he lost it in a business
venture Then America, the land Of
his adoption, entered the war ard he
followed the flag to the front.
In spite Of broken health from the
military service he had set at work
once more to build up a fortune for his
family and believed his ambition was
attained when death claimed him.

1t shattered both his legs, tore off q
finger of his right hand, and inflicted
many severe body wounds. Only inn
mediate surgical aid, followed by blood
TRANSMISSION, was responsible for say.
ing Albert's life.
After long period in a government
hospital at Fort Smelling, MINI, he
returned to his home in Idaho, and
took up his chosen work as an cleo
trical engineer.
His activity in the organization OF
the American Legion in Idaho
brought him recognition from hun
dreds of ex-service men of the state
and at the first annual convention he
was named to the post Of department
adjutant He has held this position
since that time, and at the last con
vention was elected for a three-year
period.
Mr.. Albert's determination for re-
hablitation In spite of the injury he
suffered has won the admiration Of
Legionnaires all over the country. In
noting the enthusiasm with which he
carries on his work, the extent Of the
injury is never thought of. He con-
siders that physical handicap will not
thwart progress If determination Is
factor in the fight against it.
