HINES PLAN
GETSW|DE
HELP
Coolidge Said to Favor 1t and
Legislation by Congress
Will Be Sought.
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
International News Service.

International News Service.
The American Legion has un'
officially endorsed the proposal x
provide a free treatment in Gov
eminent hospitals for all WORLD
war veterans, international New:
Service learned today.
Has Wide Backing.
With soldier organizations ap
proving the plan Congress will be
asked in December to enact the
legislation. necessary to place it in
operation. The plan is now being
sponsored by Director Frank T.
Hines. Of the United States Veterans
Bureau, but President Coolidge is
understood to have given it a tenta-
tive Endorsement.
The plan would throw open all
Government institutions to men and
women who served their nation dur.
ing the world war whether or not
their illness was caused by service
under the flag. Veterans injured IN
private life, although not entitled to
cornpensation. would receive the
same medical and surgical attention
now accorded the war wounded.
View Of the Legion.
Legion officials today approved the
proposal. declaring It would be laid
before the organizations national
convention in San Francisco in
October for official sanction.
This step will be taken by Watson
b. Miller. national vice commander,
and Col. Joseph Sparks, chairman
of the legion's rehabilitation COM
mittee.
ssThe plan sponsored by Director
Hines for opening Government nos

women for free treatment has the

an humanitarian act which will go
o long way to convince the veterans
that the Government appreciates
their service In time Of war.
st favor, OF course, the use OF
our hospitals first for those men and
women actually disabled in service,
but when they are cared for all other
service men and women should be
treated to the limit of the facilities.
Compensation, however, should only
be awarded in cases OF disability
caused by actual service during the
war"

chosas patients in special Federal in
situations. The legion opposes plac-
Ing these men in State or private hos
pitfalls.
'State institutions are usually
overcrowded and. from an emotional
point of view, are not quite the
proper place to send our former sol
diers suffering from mental or tu-
beFcular Affections. Treatment at
private hospitals is usually prohibit
tive because of the cost. The Gov
eminent really should care for these
men at its own institutions"

OUT OF JAIL.

I was sorry when my niece killed
a lady with a rock; sorry when the
fresh police put her under key and
lock; but a jury of her peers, moved
to pity by her tears, let her down
with seven years, and she smiled
and left the dock. Clara-that's my
niece's name-was in luck, we must
agree, and she should have played
the game, but she hankered to be
free; so she sawed her prison bars
while her jailors smoked cigars, and
beneath the midnight stars she went
romping DER the lea. Had she
journeyed to the pen like pious,
moral maid, she would soon be free
again, for the years so swiftly fade /;
and, her sentence being done, she
could buy herself a gun and enjoy
all kinds of fun, of the peelers un-
afraid. Now she is hunted thing,
like the coyote on the hill; while
the weary years take wing, Clara
will be hunted still; when her fool
ish head is gray she will dread the
light of day, and the cop across the
way will impart a deadly chill. Take
your bitters when they're due, for
postponement is no friend; though
they be a CHASTITY brew, let the
noxious draught descend; you may,
with a needless smile, dodge old
Nemesis a while, but the bitters,
sour as bile, must be taken in the
end. Copyright WALT MASON.

MIR. HARyEY'S DENIAL

The changed attitude OF the
present administration toward
cooperation in world affairs. as
indicated by the Presidents pro-
posal that the United States be-
GONE member of the Perma-
nent Court of international Ius-
tlce. is further shown by de-
NAL by Ambassador. Harvey that
he said this country was well out
OF the European mess. Mr.. Har-
vey was supposed to have made
the remark TO two senators while
he was home. few weeks ago,
to confer with the Chief Execu-
tive and the Secretary of State.
1t is interesting that the Presi-
dent seems promptly to have
called upon the ambassador for
an explanation of the remark,
and III the presence of the sena-
tors to whom it was supposed to
have been made. While Mr.
Harvey contends that he did moi
make the statement, he adds that
at the interrogation he refused e
deny it Ae the statement. how
ever, caused stir in Europe
particularly in England. Mr.
Harvey appears to have found il
advisable to make denial.
So far is the ambassador now
from believing that the United
States can keep free of the Euro
pean reparations problem under
any circumstances as to hold the
view that if Great Britain is
drawn into the tangle we also
will be obliged to act. However,
he is quoted as expressing the
belief that Bonar Law will be
able to keep England out of it.
Whether or not Ambassador
liarvey's own words are viewed
as important, his denial of at
least one statement attributed to
him is significant as showing that
the Harding administration
wants no more isolation talk by
any one connected with it.
