Gas’ came back on me and I was sent to hospital at La Rochelle, right on.the coast.

Before: he was discharged and while he was at the hospital, he said, he was asked about vocational train- ing by the representative of the board who was at the hospital at the time. He filled out papers for vocational train- ing at the hospital, When he went,on a Teave of absence on March 17 he was told that it would take a few weeks to , arrange the training, that he need not » fill out more papers: they were going’ to start working on his case at once. On April 19, 1919, he was discharged, he stated, and the same day he went to the board in New York to see about train- ing, as the board had agreed /to give him training in Hefley Institute, Brook- lyn, previously haying agreed to put him in there, “E went to the board the same day T was discharged,” said Kalish, “‘as my papers had been made out by the repre- sentative of the board at the ship. 1 had an examination and they claimed everything -was O, K. and gave mé a TIM THE TAILOR Do Your Tailoring Also Cleaning and Pressing 20 Years’ Experience CALL 467-R 125 North Center fluctuated from $18.45 a month to $36.90, recently reduced to $13.50. He is employed now he said, by his brother at $20 a week, Before the war he earned $25 a week. He had been working since December, Kalish told Representative Vestal that he had been advised that he would get $115 a month while he’ was training but he did not remember the name of the vocational officer who told him, Married While in Hospital. After Representative Towner asked the witness about his: experience with the vocational officers while in the hospital at Lakewood, Mr.. Blanton asked him if he did not marry while he owas in the hospital, which Kalish Said was the fact. Mr. Blanton also elicited: the statement from Kalish that since he had been working, his salary equalled his pre-war wages, and his ad- mission that he did not want to under- take vocational training. \ Representative Robinson, Democrat, of Kentucky, asked Kalish about the act of valor that brought him the Croix de Guerre. “Do I have tell that?" he said. ‘““T just wanted to see what sort of a man we were dealing with,” he was told. Kalish told the story: “The Third Battalion was at the front,”” he said. “I was with the Sec- ond Battalion. The Third /being ali Irish, celebrated the 17th of/ March by going over the top, carrying green flags. Then they were shelled and gassed with mustard gas. Word came to us and-I volunteered to go to the front, as I knew a little about gas."’ He paused and Mr. Robinson said: “That is how you got the Croix de Guerre?” = is “Yes, sir,” replied Kalish, “and that’s how I lost my hair,” , ‘There was a laugn as every one: looked at Kalish's bald head.
