Recently former service men have
been going to Washington at the rate
Of 100 a week with the expectation

have walked long distances in order
10 get TO Washington. Recently one
man made the trip from Baltimore TO

come with small means, or no means
AT all. but these posts are now find
ing their resources insufficient TO take
care of all the demands made on
