LEGION PLANS TO
CARE FOR VETS
ORPHAN KIDDIES
By United Press Leased Wire

INDIANAPOLIS, September ID
Care, of dependent children of the
world war veterans is certain to be
undertaken, by the American Legion,
in the opinion of national officials
of = the organization.
This problem, the extent of which
is .IeXpected to become commensur-
ate with the relief of disabled vet
erans,g will be one of the principal
reports to be presented to the ma
tional convention of the Legion in
San Francisco in September.
The exact part the Legion will
assume in the up-bringing and ed
ucation Of the children of dead vet
Grams is still uncertain, owing to
varied plans presented for consid-
Grafton.
Placement of orphans in homes of
nearest relatives, with financial sup
port for the guardians, or further
placement with foster parents may
be considered in the final outline.
Colonies of Children
Still another method to be consid-
cred is the grouping of a small num-
Der of children in colonies, under
care of a housefather or mother,
with sustenance afforded by the
state or nation.
According to the committees fig
ures, within II years after the
close of the war, $4,000 children of
world war veterans will need such
care.
George A. Withers, of Clay Cen
ter, Kansas, who heads the commit
tee on war orphans, will report to
the committee the findings of n
years personal investigation of the
problem.
Six States Have Acted
Six states have made specific pro-
visions for care of dependents of
veterans in their own departments.
Many other states will consider
formal action.
In Michigan home has already
been established. 1t bears the name
Of "American Legion Child
rem s Billet and is caring for
many children under the direction
CT legion authorities.
In Kansas a movement is under
way to take advantage of the offer
of Dan Dabney, a wealthy Kansan,
to give the legion $50 acres of land
and an endowment of $4,000 in
cash for such purpose if the legion

Secretary Hughes Confers With Cummings On Stains Of Measure

SuHlNlnBS On SLatuS UT MedSuES
 WASHINGTON. Sept 2S.-Secre-
 tary Hughes conferred today with Wilbur L. Cummings, representing American sugar interests in Cuba, re- Sarding the status of the Tarafa bill
 passed by both houses of the Cuban Congress and which affects American
 sugar concerns in that country State
 department officials would make no comment upon the conference nor
 upon the attitude of the Washington
 government regarding the measure, although 1t was understood that the American sugar interests felt that the bill in it's final form contained pro-
 visions of a confiscatory nature.
 When the Tarafa bill was first in troduced the American interests in-
 volved protested to the state depart-
 ment that it was confiscatory and
 after diplomatic exchanges with Cuba the original measure was amended. The amendments were understood. at the time to have been in accord with agreements reached in confer ence ir this country between the au-
 thor of the bill and the American in- terests involved
 The text of the law as it passed the Cuban house, did not reach the state department until today and it was indicated that a conclusion as to provisions could not be arrived at without careful study.
