The worl4 is so small now, dbwing to the facilities of communication and tran. sit, that if one country only in the world is ostracized {t means that the rest of thy world Is In a state of chaos. I appeal to you here to join with us across the sea in Europe to come and help us solve our problems over there.” Captain James Dinkins of Mixsis- eippt, assistant adjutant general of the United Confederate Veterans, brought the greetings of his organization and his chief, General Julian Carr. The arsembly rose to fs feet with a rear when Judge Landis reached tie platform. “One veason I am glad to be here today,” said Mr. Landis, ‘is to nail a few les about the Americar: legion. I have had some experience with per- jury.” The jndge told of his effortr. cw get an ex-service man a Job, an¢: how he was refused on the ground that vet- erns “are flighty.” He corrected that opinion, he said, and afded “But if I had gone through what that man did, I would tmve been shot every day for flightiness unless I had been. the army’s commander in chief.” If the American people knew what we have not done for those who served, I tell you there would be lit tla sleep for the civilian population in this Inhd. We have been derelict in duty. We must set out to fix it so that no civilian money can buy him better hospital service than tha gov- ernment can buy for those who fought. “ft can tell you the truth’ on this thing that has been misnatned. It is called the bonus. Back in 1917 there had been tuniuit on this earth for two or three years. “Ve had a war. The bunch of fellows who decided that war decided ‘we must have soldiers.’ Then they decided we must, pay the soldiers. f: said ‘It's a bad thing to over- pay soldiers’ and he, decided on thirty dollars. MNinety- million of us were ‘unanimous for $30 a month. We went back to work and strange to say things doubled and trebled in price. Here the judge announced with em- phatic slowness: “I am for adjusted compensation” and drew two full min. utes of supreme applause. “Now,"" continued Mr. Landis, “I'll tell you about performances cf some fellows while you wees away who Pussy-fuoted while their country was at war. Some said what can I do to Profit me after the war is over? He considered those who opposed the war and decided it was best to keep still. Now those chavs are @obbing up. They'll run for office. I don’t care what politics they profess. I ask you If one of these fellows ‘our state for office paste him one for me.” “You have been mighty good to me," the judge said quieting down. “This is the proudest moment of life for me. I want you to remember that I was on the side line while you were re-tnaking ™maps. I want you to remember this, 7 have a minimum of 35 years to live by judgment of the best doctors. For that space of time I want you to re- ™member we have an annual engage- ment at the American legion conven- ten.” Applause, heightened by the pound- ing of drums, answered the judge.

More tran 36,000 men “fell in.” Through miles of narrow streets, the veterans of 1918 marched. - Fluttering in the autumn air, borne by the men who carried them to vic- tory four years ago, went the na- tonal colors, flanked by the silken colors of Legion posts from every state, from Alaska, Hawall, the Pan- @ma canal zone, Porto Rico, the Phil- ippine Is'ands, Great Britain, Africa and China.

LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 18.—(By The Associated Press.) — A coroner’s inquest was scheduled for today to aeteoios the cause of the death of Francis Schlatter, 66 years cf age, who won nationa] renown a quarter of a century ago with The police expressea the belief that Schlatter’s death was induced by pneumonia, but are search- ing for a women who was with him when he died. The woman told a phy- *clan that she was Schiatter’s nurse. Mrs. Agnes Schlatter, a lecturer for a church publication, arrived here last night and declared she believed her husband had met jwith foul play. ‘She said her husband had a following of spiritualists who opposed Schlatter’: contemplated confirmation into the Episcopal church of which she is a member. Mrs. Schlatter asserted she received ; word In Kansas City of her husband's death after waiting several days for him to meet her there, saying they had planned to go from Kansas City to Salt Lake City, Utah, where her hus band was to enter the church. Miss Evelyn Hartman, Schiatter’s landlady, told the police that’ the wom- an living with him once gave her name as “Mrs. Madaline Black” and again 4s “Mrs. Schlatter." Schlatter attracted national atten- tion by his so-called “cures” at Den- ver, Colo., in 1895. He was reported to have been a cobbler by trade and to have told his audiences that he had been born blind, but that his sight was restored by the prayers of his other and that Christ appeared to him in a “ball of flame he sat at hisJast in the cobblers’ shop. Thousands of persons attended the jectures which followed the alleged apparition. In 1896 he Is said to hrs “healed"’ a child of an iricurable mal- ady at Albuquerque, M.,, earning the title of “The Measiah” there. At the meetings presided over by Schlatter, handkerchiefs and other tokens were biéased by the “healer” and were given to his follogrers. In a short timo his fame {pread from coast to coast and be was heralded as “the miracle man," and “king of heal- ers.” Schlatter was pictured as preaching from the hills in the Rocky Mountains und multitudes flocked to hear him. He wore a picturesque long black beard and was attired in a black robe. After disappearing several times, he finally dropped out of sight and the lo- cai police several times received tele- grams from hiti wife, who formerly made har bome in Chicago, asking aid in searching for her husband. She said he suffered from forgetfulness caused by the strain of his labors, and that often he wandered about the evantry, Mrs. Schlatter sald she had prose- vuted: several persons who imperson- ated her husband and that they were found guilty and sentenced to prison. At one ‘tim® Schiatter was given nation-wide publicity as the. man who ‘cured Mrs. McKinley" mother of President McK:njey. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18—(By The As- sociated Press.}—The death of Francis’ Sehlatter, alleged “divine healer” in| a rooming heuse here Monday night Was caused from hemmorhages sup- erinduced by tuberculosis, it was an- nounced following an autopsy today. The autopsy was performed following an assertion of Mrs. Schlatter, who arrived here from Kansas City, Mo., last night that she believed her hus- band to have been the victim: of foul play. ————_s-— OIL AND GAS JOURNAL TO FEATURE PUBLIGITY ON CASPER AND WYOMING Frank J.

The object of vocational - tra'ning is not to make master me- chanics or managers of business but to enable a disabled ex-service man to carn his own living and thereby get away from the old idea of a pension. This {s both more satisfying to. the men concerned and the government, The man becomes a producer instead of only a consumer.

A decision as to the training to he given is made in conference be- |tween the prospective trainee and a |training officer of the bureau. ‘The jlength of training is determ!ned by |the training objective." No two train ing objectives are reached in the same jlength of time.
