reality although plans are under way
whereby those enlisted men who desire

charge prior to the expiration of en-
listnent, respectively, which. when such

ters, will have reduced the corps by
easy stages to the estimated reduction
quota.
According to official announcement by
the national Office of the Veterans Ma
rine Corps Legion, plans are under way
whereby disabled veterans OF regul2r
service, the World War or any service
contracted disability will have been
furthered to the utmost by this veteran
Marine Corps organization, yet this
