WAR RISK ATWORK ON 91,477 CLAINS Director Hallett Says 1,000 New Ones Arrive Daily. None Neglected. Settlement of claims of ex-service men resultant from the war is pre- dicated on their showing that the disability on which the claim is based was incurred in line of duty or was a result of service in the Army or Navy, it is pointed out by R H. Hallett, acting director of the burean of war risk insurance, in a statement on the bureau's work. This_requirement is entirely differ- ent from the practice of providing pensions in previous wars. when all a soldier had to show was that he was in the service and that he was ill, there being no requirement to show that the illness was a result of his service. “The number of claims for com- pensation filed in the bureau of war risk insurance have far surpassed any number estimated or expected,” said Director Hallett. 91477 Claims Pending. “In fact” he said, “a board of ex- perts estimated that the maximum number of claims filed would be. 250,000. On March 24, 1921, 594,242 claims for compensation had been filed. During February, 1921, more claims were filed than were filed when the demobilization of the armed forces was at its height. Of the 594,242 claims filed 502.765 claims have been finally acted upon, leaving 91,477 claims pending. This does not mean, however, that the claims pend- ing have not been given attention. The reverse is true, and pending cases are given preference over other work, in trying to help the man se- cure the evidence necessary to show the service comnection. “There has been no disposition in the bureau to make a disallowance of a pending claim for a statistical showing, but, on the other hand, to allow a claim to remain pending just as long as there is a possibility of a valid claim being established. Task Grows More Diffic “It should be borne in mind that the character of the claims now being filed differs greatly from those filed one year ago. of time a person now applying for compensation has been discharged from the active military or naval service is eighteen months. It be- gomes, therefore, more difficult to say that the disease or disability is due to active war service. The ma- Jority of cases are those which have no record of ever having been treat- ed for a disease or disability while in_the service. *“The bureau has adopted a most 1iberal policy as concerns such cases, and seeks by means of affidavits, or othor acceptable evidence, to trace the disease of disability claims back to war service. Getting Facts Takes Time. “The task can, therefore, be appre- clated, with 1,000 claims being filed daily, where in the vast majority of cases this difficult problem arises. of comnecting the digability with war service. When it is appreciated that during the last three months ap- proximately 63,000 aplications for compensation have been filed in the bureau, and the further fact is ap- ed of the difficulty of estab- lishing the service connection of the disability claimed, it will be seen that the number of pending claims in the bureau does not represent such melancholy situation as might be in- ferred. “All facilities of the United States public health service and the govern- ment, as well as private institutions are being utilized to give medical care and treatment to those persons claim- ing compensation, and to give such treatment while the compensability of such persons are being established. There were on March 24, 1921, 25,032 persons undergoing hospital treat- ment and 777,511 have been given med- ical care and treatment by the bureau of war risk insurance. Calls Work Well Performed. *It is believed when the task of the ‘bureau of war risk insurance is ap- ciated and its accomplishments considered. it will be seen that this particular machinery for disabled service men and women has not brok- en down, but has kept the faith and Justified the wisdom of the Congress in creating by legislation such an agency of the government.” NIGHT SCHOOLS TO CLOSE. ZLack of Funds Hits Both White and Colored. Lack of appropriations will cause all the colored public night schools, with the exception of one, to close for the 1920-1921 academic year tomorrow night. The white night schools will continue to operate on an abbreviated schedule until the latter part of this Congress granted $15.000 in a de ficiency appropriation bill at the las session for the operation and main- tenance of the night school system through the present year. This appro- priation has been virtually exhausted. and only by reducing the teaching personnel, closing several of the Schiools i outlylug sections and re-| ducing the nights of operation have | school authorities been able to keep the night institutions open until this| time. When the white night school closn:‘} sehool officials plan 1o keep the Busi- ness High night school open until the latter part of May, so that the stu- dents taking credit courses can com- plete their required nine months’ of training, and thereby receive credits which will permit them to enter high- er institutions of learning. —_—— THREE HELD IN RAID. Woman And Two Men Seized With 100 Gallons Alcohol. Two men and a woman were take n'a raid at 3509 Sth strect northweat Tuesday afternoon, when the police say about 100 gallons of gr: hol were seized.
