Addressed st. James Auxiliary


st. James, Mimi, December 13.-
"The federal government should ap-
propriate money to each state for
the care of its own disabled former
service men," advocated DR.. Helen
Hughes Hielscher of Mankato here
last evening at a joint meeting Of
the American Legion and auxiliary.
She said it Is wrong to send Mime
sofa men to the south or to climate
not to their liking away from their
friends or loved ones and then filling
the Minnesota government hospitals
with men from other states. She
criticized the government policy Of
building great hospitals for the care
Of the men. How can tuberculor
patients get we'll when they are con-
berculor patients and when they
stantly meeting other depressed tu-
awaken at night to hear men all
around them splitting. in their little
Asbury hospital into a tuberculor
hospital for some 300 patients.
What these men need is fresh air,
fresh food and rest. How can they
get these in the center Of a great
city? They should be sent to small
country hospitals where good doc
tor has a personal interest in them,"
she declared. DR.. Hielscher told Of
her visit to the veterans at Veter-
ansville, MINI. She found the roads
fUoor, but the men were on land
which can be made very productive
for dairy farming. These men are
comfortably located and have q
chance to make good. The st. James
auxiliary is to send twenty two
Christmas boxes to the boys at
Milwaukee hospitals, and cards and
greetings to the American and gov
ernment trainees here. The annual
meeting will be held December 81.

Underwood Statement
Silent Upon Candidacy,
But Talks of Europe

Some disappointment was APP
parent in Democratic political cir.
cles here today because Senator
Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama
in his first formal expression Of
views since his return from Eu-
rope, was not more outspoken in
commenting on the domestic and
international issues which will be
fought out in the 1924 Presidential
campaign.
During his absence from the
United States, Underwood was en-
dorsed in many quarters for the
Democratic presidential nomination
and 1t was expected that he would
take early opportunity to note this
endorsement publicly and, in so do.
ing state his position on the uues-
lions of policy confronting the Gov
eminent.
Senator Underwood criticised the
Harding administration for a lack
of policy, or an undisclosed policy
in rendering sorely needed assis
lance to Europe in working out it's
rehabilitation and in establishing
secure and lasting peace. In this
criticism Democrats here agree
with the Senator, but they point
out that he makes no constructive
suggestion as to a policy to be
pursued.
The Senator spoke regretfullv OF
the failure of the United States to
help Europe by refusing to ratify
the Versailles peace treaty and saws
that the world court plan proposed
by President Harding will not be
of assistance.
