July 29.~Moving like a giant,
well-oiled machine, the United

Thus, in crisp military terms,
Brigadier- General Perry j. Miles,

TINE army's first encounter
4 with American civilians since
the Civil war-according to one
war department off1cer-began at
8 p. m. Thursday.
The task of aiding the district
police was given to War Secretary
Hurley. He ordered General
Douglas Macarthur, chief of
staff, to surround and clear out
the troubled area, using all pos
sible humanity.
Macarthur, an outstanding
World war hero, at once swung
into action. He telephoned orders
to Miles to take immediate charge
of the situation.
Hurriedly. he issued orders to
TT. Myer and Ft. Washington,
nearby, to send troo-s to the dis

He urged that Glasford's policy of

President Hoover's action in call
ing out troops to evict the bonus
army was "criminally inexcusable, :"
Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President, said today in New
York. Thomas added that he is in
favor of the bonus payment.
Blackened ruins, few curls of
smoke were all that remained today

Grams community at Third street
and Pennsylvania avenue, and of
the great camp ground On the Ana
costa flats whence 1000 to 1900
veterans were elected in the dark
ness of Thursday night and early
morning.
All Roads Lead Away
Bayonets cleaned behind the last
of the retreating bonus seekers. The
bare blades bristled today in readi-
ness for any hardy enough to at
tempt a return in force to the
hame-licked flats.
All roads led away from Wash
ington so far as bonus seekers and
their families were concerned today.
In a spatter of rain in the early
hours small groups were trudging
away on every road.
Maryland has determined to as
sist and hurry the jobless ones
through that state. The general
plan still was to retreat to Johns
town, Pa, and reform there, despite
the news that the entire army would
not be welcome there.
Many veterans who dared again
today to visit their former homes
were believed to be searching for
lost belongings. Military author
tiles said may had returned to the
camp sites. They were hopeless,
hapless crew, not knowing where to
go, or how to get there.
MacArthur's plan, after driving
the struggling veterans out again,
is to place a strong guard around
the camp sites to prevent them
from re-entering. During the night
the army employed so many men
in it's drive that it was unable to
spare many troops to guard the
evacuated camps.
