GREATEST T IR Government' Most Liberal and Offers Most: Extensive Benefits, Says Col. Forbes, " Director of Veterans’ Bureau. * BY COL. CHARLES R. FORBES, Director of the U. 8. Veterans' Bureau I have beon asked many times to write just what has been done In the way of ex-soldier relief work by the United States government since the close of the world war, and I have no hesitancy in saying that this govern- ment has been more llberal and has provided far greater benefits than any other natlon on the face of the Elobe. I am goling to show, in figures, just what this government has done In the way- of soldier rellef up to Janu- ary 1, 19 During the time that the bureau.of war risk Insurance #nd the rehabllitation division of the Federal Board for Vocational Education were in ‘operation and during the five months of existence of the present United States Veterans' Bureau, a to- tal of 1/418,912 claims have been made by. veterans of the world war and di- vided as follows: 486,884 for voca- tional training, 171,875 for insurance and 760,153 for death and disability compensation. ' Many Claims Allowed. A total of 831,767 claims have been allowed by the bureau out of the 1,418,912, divided as follows: 381,717 for compensation, 299,879 for voca- tional education and 150,171 for insur- ance. There were disailowoed 170, divided into the following three classes 316,183 for compensation, 20,010 for insurance, 135,947 for vocational edu- cation. On December 31, 1921, there were 114,975 claims waiting final ad- judication. Of this number 55,655 were for compensation, 1,664 for in- surance, 51,058 for vocational educa- tion. These figures are all as of De- cember 31, 1921. Since that date a material decrease has been made in the ‘number of pending cases. The year 1921 was a busy one for those engaged in soldler rellef work, for during the year 431,859 clalms were filed, divided as follow: 224,772 for compensation, 25,610 for insurance and 181,477 for vocational education. During the same period 220,247 claims were allowed; 97,052 compensation, 13,980 insurance and 109,215 vocation- al education applications were grant- ed. During this same period 209,178 claims were disallowed, divided, 148. 102 compensation, 14,551 insurance and 46,525 vocational education. Insurance. 7 During 1921, 66,637 world war vet- erans reinstated their term insurance and 3,677 reinstated their converted policies, making a total of_ 70.314. During the same period 76,172 con- verted their war-time insurance. This makes a total of 339,167 veterans who atill have term policies, with 259,730 having converted insurance policies, bringing a grand total of 598,397 vet- erans who are still carrying their government insurance in one type or another. A grand total of $281,756,- 292.69 has been paid in insurance claims since the bureau started op- erations. Of this amount $278,239.- 146.93 has been paid out in death and disability claims on term policies, while $3,517,24 has been paid out on converted policies for death ana disability claims. The government received $47.442,- 993.89 in premiums in 1921 on insur- ance and $993,697.45 set aside for in- surance dividends. Converted poli- cies alone brought dividends, and these are not payable until the pol- lcy is one year old. Voentional Training. At the close of the last current year there were 104,578 veterans receiving vocational education under the United States Veterans' Bureau. Of th number 93,914 men were in section training. which carries maintenance pay ranging from $80 to $170 per month, in addition to the tuition, books, supplies and equipment; 10,644 '| veterans were undergoing vocational training in section 3 training, which | provides tuition, books, suppiies and equipment, but no maintenance pay.

Ladovitch, to Be Heard Here. “The Man With a Tall,” a new opera by Ernst Vladimir Ladovitch, president of the Washington Conservatory of Mu sic, is. to be given here in the near f ture in the interest of the Russian famine relief. The story of Hawthorne's “Scarlet Letter” is used for the basic theme of the opera, alth be dissimilar. Being a violinist, the ocomposer has given particular attention to_the strings in the score:. 2 in- | 8 Since the government undertook the rehabilitation of the vocationally handicapped veteran, & total of 119,- 881 men and women have been placed in section 2 tralning and 17,187 have been placed In class 8 training. Nearly 32,000 veterans have been declared eligible for vocational training who have falled to take ndvantage of this wonedrful opportunity for various reasons, and & total of 7,837 have been declared rehabliitated by the bureau, 5,402 1 ishing their training during the past year. Medical. Turning to the medical division, we find that on December 31 a total of 25,687 veterans of the world war were undergoing hospitalization un- i der the United States Veterans' Bu- reau; of this number, 11,646 were in the tubercular hospitals: 8272 in neuropsychiatric and mental insti- tutions, and 8,769 undergoing treat- ment in general hospitals for general and surgical disabilities. Since the creation of the bureau, 206,039 vet- erans "have received hospital trea ment,.and 1,115,269 medical examina tions' ordered. When the amount of money that the government ~has spent for its ex- service population iz considered, It 18 readlly seen that this has been the most liberal government of the world. | A grand total of §1,250,930,729.99 has { been expended, divided as follows: i Voentional trating Insurance ) Comy Allowan d seamen edical and hospit Administrative . \ Task Not Yet Ended. From a perusal of the above fig- ures the magnitude of the task which the government has faced unfiinch- ingly is seen and the eni is not yet in sight. When the United States Veterans' Bureau was created, taking over the vocational rehabilitation work, it was found necessary to broaden the scope of rehabilitation There were not enough institution: in America to care for our vocation: population. Highest authorities tell us that our vocational population will reach between 200,000 and 250,000 veterans. Places must be found for these men. DUring the last current year the government opened its first big vo- cational training school. The bLig visitors’ houses attached to Camp Sheridan, Chillicothe, Ohio, were re- made into students’ apartment houses. The fine mechanical equipment, which had been used for the_ yocational training in the Army, wWwi& turned over to our disabled veterans for use in this institution and today men are learning trades under competent in- structors, who had previously been in placement training and receiving no education of value. A rehabilita. tion conference was held in Washin, ton attended by some of the leading lights of the educational world. This conference made its recommenda- tions to the bureau and we are ct- tempting to carry them out to th. best of our ability. ‘The wcount best known experts in neuropsychi- atric and mental disorders have recently concluded a conference which ds fair to assist the bureau mi terially in decreasing the number of mental cases and to provide a cure for the men with disordered minds. No stone has been left unturned to provide the disabled veterans of the world war with ewery possible ad- vantage. and siatements to the effect that the government has been der lict in its duty show an absoluts luck of information of what has been done for them. President Harding is keenly intes ested in the problems of the ex-scrv- ice men. He has shown the geepest thought and study of their problems and o' existing conditiol There is nothing this government will not do for the men wha fought in the worlid war and I am_proud of the accom- plishments of the Veterans’ Bureau. .

BAY SCENE RISING FOR SHRINER FAIR Convention Hall to Be Maze of Beauty and Surprise at Show Opening March 6: Work at Convention Hall for the Almas Temple Shrine fair, which opens March 6 and runs through March 18, Is being completed, and ac- cording to those in charge of the entertainment, the sight will be one never equaled In the National Capital. Throughout the week experts have been busy on the oriental trimmings for the “Shrine Arablan fete,” a set- ting arranged in Shrine form, a la Bagdad, transported over burning sands, and the few who have been permitted to get a glimpse of the interior are convineed that the last word in artistic scenic decorations will have been reached when the final touches are added. John J. P. Mullane, director general of the undertaking, was much grati- fled last night at the progress of the work, and sald that he was doing everything possible to arrange the hall ‘so that there would be attrac- tions going on at all times. Noveltles in Every Nook. “In the past at any like afair there has always -been complaint about ‘some particular part of the building,” he said. “Well, I promise after our plans have been carried out there will be no occasion for similar complaints. There will be novelties a-plenty In every nook and cranny of the hall, and at every hour, day and night, that the doors are open. “Already we have more than fifty exhibits signed up. On the K street side of the building an orchestra will make things hum continuously, while next to the bandstand will be ample space for all to damce. Adjacent to the dancing pavilion will be the won- derful Garden of Allah, which for scenic splendor will surpass any- thing ever seen in Washington. “The L streot side will contain plantation scene, and next to this stage has been erected where acro- batic stunts -and special vaudeville numbers will be staged every fifteen or twenty minutes. Promises President Crumb Pie Like Those Grandmother Made = RS. MARY MOORE. Special Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., February 25. —Here is the only woman thus far found in the United States who can bake crumb pies, “just like those Presi. dent Harding's grandmother made. She lives at Westfleld, a little town near Indianapolis, and next May, and possibly sooner, she is going to bake & real old-fashlioned crumb ple. and send it to the President of the United States. It came about in this way: Every 616-17 ST. N.W. “In the center of the building. at arious times during the night, spec- ular free attractions will be held, o that those who are usually hard to please had better inspect the whole sho'y before registering a complaint.” Mr. Mullane said further that L. P. Steuart, illustrious potentate of Al- mas Temple, had visited the hall and glven his O. K. to every bit of work 50 _far completed. Mr. Steuart was much pleased with the feature which will allow business men to exhibit merchandise and wares of every description, and said that in a way it would be a small merchants d menufacturers’ house- hold exposition, aside from the won- ders of the fair itsel Funeral Director o .

Mrs. Moore said later that when - THE MAN'S STORES ° this question was asked, she was con- fused ‘and could not answer for five minutes, because it had been so long since she had heard any one ask about a crumb pie. A comparison of notes proved that Mrs. Moore bakes them gld"t like the President’'s grandmother Mrs. New has promised to go back to Westfleld in May and get the crumb ple that Mrs. Moore will bake for the President. But Mrs. Moore says she may bake the ple and send it to the President through the mails be- fore that time. It no small thing to bake & pie that suits a President. Mrs. Moore does not tell what in- gredients she uses. She savs a crumb ple depends largely on the kind of crumbs you use, and then there is a lot in the way you bake it.
