LEGION PROBES
BEATING OF
VETERAN
viii Back WaIIerstein's Suit
Against caraway IT Facts
Justify 1t.

The American Legion is investi-
eating the fistic encounter Tuesday
between Senator Caraway OF
Arkansas and Henry A. Wallerstein,
world-war veteran and Veterans
Bureau official, in which Waller
stein was severely beaten.
John Lewis Smith, commander of
the District of Columbia depart
ment of the legion, has directed
julius Peyser, judge advocate of
the legion, to make an inquiry and
take whatever action he feels is
necessary.
1.-THE legion is going to the bot.
tom of this fight" Peyser said
this afternoon. This man is a
veteran of the war and the legion
is interested in him.
81 have sent several men out to
interview those who were concern
ed in and saw the fight. When
their reports are made, will de-
eide on a course Of action"
It is understood that If Peyser
satisfies himself that Wallerstein
was beaten up without just cause,
he will take steps to have the leg
ion aid him in the $4,000, suit he
proposes to file against the Senator.
Il know very little of the affair
at this time" said Peyser.' But
can say this; no Senator is above
the law"
There is also a possibility that
Peyser, in event he feels Waller
stein is in the right, may urge
other action besides a civil suit.
First, I'm going to find out
what's what about this fight" said
Peyser, Several reports have come
to me. AS soon as 1 am in posses
sion of the full facts. will act with
out hesitation. If this man Is deserV
ing of the protection Of the Legion
he will certainly get It,"
Wallerstein, who ls chief co-ordi
nator of the Veterans Bureau, Is ex'
pected to leave Washington tomor
row for Atlanta, Ga, to take another
assignment He says, however, that
the arrangement for his transfer
was made more than q week before
his fight with the Senator.
Wallerstein Is still nursing a badly
bruised face and thumb which, he
says, was caused by the blows OF
Senator Caraway's umbrella.

WHY MEN FAIL

We often hear a wretched guy
bemoan his "cruel fate" 1t seems
that luck has passed him by, and
Knocked his humble state. He
tells heart breaking tales of woe,
he never had chance, the world
has always been his foe, and thus
this martyr rants. His tale may
sound quite sad, but then 1T
seems quite strange to tell-that
there are also other men, who
have their knocks as well. But
although fate deals them a blow,
and luck may pass them by, do
they complain of hardship? No;
they. never cease to try! AL
though their efforts may seem
vain, they struggle just the same,
they never find time to complain,
they have no fate to blame. In
stead of quitting, these men scrap
and make themselves name;
they overcome each handicap and
earn both wealth and fame. So
as the "luckless" tell their tale,
tits useless to deny, the reason
such men always fail, is because
they never try! ]. H. HOLMAN.
