DAWES RIDICULES
 TERM PROGRESSIVE
Third Party MisapprOpriated The
 Word, He Asserts

NEWARK, x. J., Oct 25.-By the Associated Press.-The LaFollette in dependent candidacy was accused of misappropriating the name Progress i've" by Charles G. Dawes, republican candidate for vice-president in an ad- dress here tonight.
 Progressive, progressive" he de clared sarcaStically in the midst of a reference to the La Toilette platform declaration on limitation of supreme court powers. What kind of progress will we have and in what direction will this party progress if put into power?"
 He declared' that "the confidence of the American people in their govern ment will be shaken if there is even an indication that this attack on our constitution will become successful at some future time.' He also directed some of his fire on the democrats. re- iternting that there isn't any room for a party that chooses to remain silent on this issue with one candidate radical and the other conservative fine man as he is.'
 Tomorrow night Mir. Dawes will car ry his campaign into New York City, speaking at a republican rally in Brooklyn.

HUGE Task is BEFORE DEPARTMENTS
OF GOVERNMENT FOR Administration
or SOLDIERS BONUS TO SIX MILLION

the flag in the Great War at home
or abroad, is subject now to minute
examination. Through his days Of
sickness and health, of training at
home or battle abroad, the searchers
must follow each man through the
wilderness of official records. And
the bulk of the task must be done
in the close packed filing cases of
the War Department where the inti-
mate official story of America at
war alone is told.
In those records alone are more
than 167, 100000 separate docu-
ments, each of which 1t may be nee
esssary to handle many times be-
fore the veterans can all be assured
of bonus payments. It will require
II separate operations to make the
examination of the files and it will
take $500 clerks TO do the work In
the War Department alone.
There are amazing stories by the
hundreds of thousands among these
individual war records. There are
tales Of highest heroism, of great
adventure; tales. too. rich in pathos
and sacrifice.
BY comparison the Army's share
in the task of record searching over
shadows the work that must also
be done by the Navy and Marine
Corps to carry out the will of Con-
gress. In the Army files are the
records of 5,250,000 men who may
make claims. Each must be exam
ined as to the soldiers record be-
fore it can be passed upon. In the
Navy files are the records OF 551,-
1856 enlisted men and of 1880
women who served in the rank of
"yeoman-F In the Marine Corps
there are some $4,000 records to be
combed out.
The War Department files are
located in Washington. They are
crowded into the three floors of the
historic old arsenal at Washington
Barracks, scene of many historic
events. 1t was there that the con-
spirators were tried for the assas-
sination of President Lincoln and
close by is the spot where some of
them paid the penalty with their
lives.
During the war the draft opera
tions were far greater in scope be-
