BONUS VETERAN
LOSESPHOTOS

In the precipitate flight of the
bonus army from Camp Glassford
last night, some member of the
organization lost in the street,
near Third and Pennsylvania
Avenue, six photographs that are
evidently treasured as family pos
sessions. They were found and
brought to The Times today by
AL Levy, of 829 Fourteenth St.
N. w., who has them and will
be glad to restore them to their
owner, in case the latter will call
or communicate with him.
The pictures reveal a record of
patriotic service that goes back
to the Civil War. One of them
was taken by the photographers
for the Army of the Potomac, the
firm of Philip & Solomons, which
had studios at that time at 511
Seventh st. N. w., and at 337
Pennsylvania Ave. N. w. The
others were all taken in Penn
sylvania, two at Philadelphia, one
at Carlisle, one at Tonawanda
and one at Harrisburg.

an older man, wearing a nous

a zouave uniform. The pictures
all appear to have been taken
many years ago, probably not
long after the close of the Civil

B. E.F. ASSAILED
BY QUENSTED7

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jul 30
Severe condemnation of : e &C.
tion of the bonus marc Frs in
Washington yesterday VIZ voiced
today by Walter E. c snstedt,
mayor of Annapolis a 1 State
commander of the V. F. w.
In a 300-word statement to the
press today Quenstedt backed the
action of the Administration in
handling the situation. He said
in part:
"The methods employed by
the B E. F. in securing the
bonus have never met with the
approval of the national Ad-
miniSt alton nor the State of
Maryland administration of the
V. F. w. Although the v. F.
w. has consistently sponsored
the full payment of the ad-
justed service certificate, its
method by nationwide peti-
tiOn would have met with sue
cess in Congress if it had not
been for the fOOlhardy and
radical interference of a non-
deScript organization.
THE concentration of these
veterans on the mud-fIats of
AnacOStia and elsewhere should
never have been permitted in
the first place.
THE V. F. w. of Maryland
will help all it possibly can to
expedite the return of these
veterans to their respective
homes where they should be
taken care of if in need"
