MANY MONTANA Vets
ARE REHABILITATED
NUMBER MEN IN VOCATIONAL
TRAINING HAS DROPPED
FROM S27 TO 564

According to a report issued by the
manager of the suh-d:strict office OF
the L. S. Veterans Bureau at Helena,
3lantana, 319 disabled war veterans
were successfully rehabiiitated in
Montana during the past year. This
brings the total number OF men reha-
bilitated in this state, up to ATS. The
statement further shows that the
number of disabled men in vocation
al training in the state has fallen
from 827 to 564 during the same per
iod.
Another year will see most of the
training in the state of Montana COM
pleted, as approximately $50 more
men will be rehabilitated during the
next twelve months. Comparatively
few veterans will enter training here
after as most of the men declared
eligible for vocational training have
already availed themselves of their
pIlNIlCSCs II - CApCCJCu lidS IHC AC-
Mobilization work will end in 1926. OF
course there are some men whose
physical condition may prolong their
training to some extent, but the bulk
of the training work will be COM
pleted on schedule time.
Most of MOntana's rehabilitated
men are satisfactorily employed.
Many have gone into business for
themselves. This is particularly true
of men trained in the professions, IT
auto mechanics, photography, me-
chanical dentistry, shoe repairing.
battery work and cigar making. The
great majority of the men, however
have found employment in offices
stores, and industrial plants Of var.
ious kinds.
Local committees. scattered over the
state in all of the principal towns
have materially aided the employ.

the terms Of the bill Ford will obtain

be stated that the offer Of a group OF

EDWARD b. MCLEAN, the Wash
- ingtOn newspaper publisher, ap-
peared before the Teapot Dome COM
mittee and admitted that at Falls re-
quest ne had previously misrepresent-
ed the circumstances Of the famous
100000 loan. His testimony may be
thus summarized:
Fail, in November, 1921, asked him
for q loan Of 100000 to buy a ranch.
He gave Fall two checks for this
amount, but Fall returned them un-
cashed. Two years later. in Deem
Der, 1923, Fall. a sick man under IN
veStigatiOn, called Mclean to Atlantic
City and asked him to make a public
statement TO the effect that he had
furnished the 100000, making it ap-
pear that tie checks had actually been
cashed. He agreed on Falls assur-
ance that he had not obtained the
money from Sinclair or from any con-
nectiOn with the Teapot Dome. Later,
when disclosures before the senate
committee began to arouse his suSpi-
ciOns he told Fall he was going to
tell the truth and did so to Senator
Walsh when Walsh went to Miami in
January. He agreed it would have
been better for all concerned If the
truth had been told in the beginning.
McLean's story minimized the i'm
pOrtanCe of the mass Of kilograms tina
passed between Washington and his
place In Palm Beach, and he scOffeC
