looked pale and rather stern. The
two men shook hands silently. Both
were conscious of the curious eyes
of the servants.
David led the way to his study,
and shut the door.

The two men stared at each other
for a moment without speaking.

that would explain somewhat why

The young man went slowly away.
When the door was shut Fisher
took down the telephone receiver,
and asked for the Red Grange num-

There was some delay in getting
connected; and when at last he was
told he was through, 1t was one of
the servants who spoke at the other
end of the wire.
Mr.. Bretherton is very much en-
gagged, sir, but I will tell him."
''Tell him it is important My
name is Fisher"
There was another delay. Then
Davids voice, urgent and oddly ex-
cited, spoke:
''Is that you, Monty? Have you
any news for me?"
'Newsl What do you mean?"
Fisher was mystified.
The answer came impatiently:
II thought you might have heard
of her. I thought perhaps she might
have communicated with you"
"She! Who? don't understand.
Who are you talking about?"
There was the faintest hesitation.
Then
I'm speaking Of Mary. She's
gone! She left my house last night.

DOBSON, NEW CHIEF

A contagious twinkle of the eye, a

larly known as the Forty an Eight or

almost foregone conclusion. With
his Legion record, they made a rare
combination of personality and
achievement which was irresistible.
His protests that he feared he would
not be able to accept counted for
little. They were voted down with en-

Born in Scarborough, England, in
1886, the new chief came to America
as lad of ten. After attending the
public schools at Brooklyn, N. Y, and
Passaic, N. J., he received the degree
of mechanical engineer at Cornell uni.

dope, exactly. Paris in 1923 as the ma

a bad idea for all below the rank of
corporal to cogitate over.

Predicts Another War
Within Next FerD Years

"Another World war more terrific
and on a larger scale than the late
war is pending and will occur within
the next decade" was the prediction
of Maj. Thomas Amory Lee Of Topeka,
Kan, who recently returned from Lon
don where he attended the Fifth An
nual Congress of the Fidac, the fed
Grafton Of inter-allied veterans organ
izations, as delegate from the Amer
lean Legion. Major Lee arrived at
this conclusion from addresses he had
heard at the Fidac congress by some
of the leaders in the world peace
movement. "Even among the most op-
timistic," he declared, "the feeling that
the world is in imminent danger Of
another such catastrophe as the World
war is prevalent"
kmong other observations made by
Major Lee while abroad was that all
nations are making an attempt to
urge the responsibilities of the world
upon the United States, and that the
British Isles are following the exa1n-
pie set by the United States in the
Eighteenth Amendment.

WARNING AFFECTING
DISABLED VETERANS

Rehabilitation officers of the Amer
lean Legion at Washington are dis
seminating the following warning at
fecting disabled veterans who have
compensative claims but who have
failed up to date to file their claim
with the United States Veterans bu-
-eau. "Unless ex-service men with a
showing of active tuberculosis prior to
January /, 1925, make application to
the United States Veterans bureau by
that date, they will lose the benefit of
that provision of the World war vet
Grams act Of 1924, which provides
that veterans showing active tubercu-
losis prior to January 1, 1925, will au-
tomatically be entitled to compensa-
ton and treatment for their disability.
There are at the present time many
thousands of cases of men throughout
the country who have been rated by
the veterans bureau at less than 10
per cent on arrested tuberculosis or
chronic bronchitis, and other diseases.
1t is very probable that large number
of these cases have, since their last
examination and rating by the bureau,
become active cases, and these men
should by all means present them
selves to the veterans bureau for re-
examination before January l, 1925, or
they will lose the benefit Of the pre-
sumptive provision of the act"
Arrangements are now such that a

efficiency at recently established re-
gional offices.
Following close upon the order for
decentralization Of the United States
veterans bureau, long advocated by
the American Legion, came announce
ment of the opening of district bureau
offices throughout the country which
function as regional Ravens for dis
abled veterans of the World war. Full
authority will be vested In the re-
gional offices to handle all claims re-
CARELESS Of what phase Of the case in
question Is to be considered. All mat
tiers Of awards, vocational training
and disqualification will be handled,
which will greatly facilitate the
rapid disposal of claims. A claims
and rating board will operate, to con-
sist of medical specialist who will
examine the men for major disabili-
ties, medical referee and a voca-
tional specialist, who will act in con-
junction with other specialists who
may be called into consultation on
any case. To gain more personal
connection with the disabled veteran,
the rating and claims board will rate
the man with the veteran himself
present if he so desires and he will
have the privilege of arguing his
case.
