We got to worry about getting through the Summer, then the Win- ter, then another Summer before the Democrats can possibly do any- thing for us.

Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, admin- istrator of veterans’ affairs, has com- pleted plans for reorganization of the | Government's activities aealing with | veterans, to weld them all into one | compact “Veterans' Administration,” | beginning July 1, when the first appro- priations for this purpose become avail- able with the start of the new fiscal | ear. i # While the Veterans’ Administration has existed in name for many months, under act of Congress, it was not until funds became available for consolidat- ing the three great veterans’ agencies that the reorganization could be com- pleted, Gen. Hines explained. After July 1 the Veterans’ Bureau, Pension Bureau and Bureau of Nation- al Homes, which for some time have been under direction of Gen. Hines as administrator of veterans’ affairs, will be merged into the Veterans’ Admin- istration. | Personnel Shifted. Several appointments made to key positions in the new organization, but these consist only in the shifting of men who already have been in charge of the same kind of work for several years under the old regime. ‘The new alignment is made under act of Congress for purposes of “maxi- mum service with due regard to_effi- clency and economy of operation,” ac- cording to the official statement made public last night by Gen Hines. | being reflected in the appropriations for the new veterans’ administration, which total $111,078,587 for the next fiscal year. General supervison of the activitie of the veterans' administration is placed in four major offices, to which appointments were made by Gen. | Hines, with other closely related and highly responsible_posts. Maj. William Wolff Smith, general counsel of the Veteran's Bureau, about | whom much interest has centered the reorganization, has been appointed Special Counsel on Insurance Claims, responsible directly to the administra- tor for the defense of suits under section 19 of the World War Veteran's act as amended. Roberts Named Solicitor. J. O’Connor Roberts, formerly as- sistant to Maj. Smith, in the Veteran's | Bureau, but who recently has been | special assistant to Gen. Hines, has been named to the post of Solicitor of the veteran's administration | Maj. Smith, who was_criticized by members of Congress for accepting disability pay in addition to his salary | as general counsel, was given a post| where there will be steadily increasing | business for him to handle. There are now 4,600 suits in the courts of the country, about 10 times as many as| all the leading life insurance companics of the country combined. About 100 attorneys are now engaged in this work, and will be under direction of Maj.’ Smith. Col. George E. Ijams, director of the | Veterans Bure: has been named as- | sistant administrator in charge of | medical and domiciliary care, construc- tion and_supplies. Maj. O. W.

NEGRO L IBERATION' PLEA 15 DELIVERED Howard U. President Tells Seniors Recognition Strug- gle Is Holiest. 1l e i Asserting “no cause is holier” than that of the complete liberation of the colored people, and that the conditions “which injure the Negro race gnaw at the svery vitals of our Nation,” Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, president of Howard University, called upon 300 graduates and an audience of nearly 3,000 persons yesterday to “battle for | full participation of our people in | American life.” | Pointing to the State of Mississippi | as an example of disfranchised Negroes, | Dr. Johnson declared a fraternity of | young college men and women, pledging | themselves to spend at least two years | after graduation working ‘“‘where the | need of the people is great,” would be | a blessing to the whole colored race.

The battle which must wage is & battle to bring into public life that § tice and high consideration for your people which .is guaranteed in the Con- stitution, and which was intended by the fathers.” The baccalaureate program was an innovation, the outdoor morning serv- ice being held instead of the customary afternoon service in the university chapel. Several selections were sung by e university choir. Rev. Daniel E. ‘Wiseman pronounced the benediction. Secretary of Interior Wilbur will of- ficiate at the laying of the corner stone for the new dormitories Friday morning at_11 o'clock. The graduation address will be de- livered by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of the Washington Cathedral, riday night.

Gayety Has Very Good Show. T'S a case of “Hail, hail, the gang’s all here” at the Gayety this week. “Inimitable Hinda Wassau,” so styled by Manager Lake, and “Wash- ington's Own Daughter,” with capi- tal letters, heads the parade, in which such stars as Nora Ford, Chuck Cal- lahan, Billy Fields, Wanda De Von, Sally Van and Billy Bates are close behind. There are more who have not been mentioned, but taking them all, they give the best show, probably, the Gayety has had this year. Miss Wassau's “magnetic appeal” has gained her fame in burlesque. She sings a little, dances a little and also gives her audience pleasing slants on feminine pulchritude. Billy Fields probably is the premier camedian of the Mutual circuit. His by-play is clean, snappy and original.
