William G. Stott, police aide to Gen. Glassford, today ordered all bonus camps circularized with letters urging the veterans to re- turn home. A second telegram from Lunine, who is also Pennsylvania State commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, urged that all Reading and Berks County veterans leave for home ‘“right now.” It Tead to the ex-soldiers. Their answer was a shout, “Go to hell!” Says Future Is at Stake. n;l]'g: m&lfle.flldflr{esfld to Sergt.

I will challenge any one who will question your sincerity and I know well your need, but the future welfare of the organized veterans is at stake, as well as any veteran legislation bonus and others that may in the future be fost- ered by the V. F. W. and D. A. V." Lunine offered to arrange transpor- tation for the Reading and Berks County group. The other Lunine telegram, addressed to disabled men, follows: “As your department commander, I appeal to you comrades of Pennsylvania and Delaware chapters of the D. A.

Roosevelt to put the men to work in New York temporarily. At the camps the New York veterans unanimeusly agreed, according to one pokesman, not to leave “until the 5] bonus bill is passed.” Most of the movements out of town were attributed by Waters to sickness and “lack of nerve” to remain here. At the Marine Reserve clinic first aid ad- ministrators have been urging all sick veterans to leave the city on account of their health. The five encampments of veterans re- ported a total of 150 new arrivals over- night. Total registrations announced this morning by Capt. Stott were 20,- 483. These figures compared with an estimate by Gen. Glassford of 13,006. New Arrivals Promised. Arrival of 500 veterans from Brook- lyn, N. Y., members of the Old Glory War Veterans' Association, was pre- dicted for this evening on the basis of a telegram received at B. E. F. national headquarters by Waters. The wire said the 500 would be in Washington at 6 o'clock tonight and as soon as they were billeted, 500 other ex-service men would leave Brooklyn for the Capital to join in the bonus fight. Senator Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa. a veteran of two wars, who re- cently was defeated for renomination, was a visitor at the headquarters of the B. E. F. this morning, where he con- ferred with Waters. On leaving, Sen- ator Brookhart said he had just dis- cussed “the situation generally.” Brook- hart was accompanied by Brig. Gen. F. H. Phillips, jr., retired, formerly of the Tennessee adjutant general's office. The temporary hospital set up by Marine Corps medical officers at 6th Marine Reserve heaaquarters was closed last midnight. The officers said they had been totally swamped in trying to care for the sick members of the ex- peditionary force and had received no co-operation from Federal and District health authorities. The closing was marked by an angry exchange between Police Chief Glass ford and Dr. e»hn E. Gunion of the Veterans' Bureau, when Glas:ford dis- covered that several veterans, seriously 1ll, had not been transferred to hospitals, hours after they had been brought to the receiving station Red with anger the police head told the doctor he was not “doing a good job." Soon after the men were taken to Walter Reed Hospital. Medical Aid Uncertain. The outlook for further medical care for the men was distinctly uncertain as a result of the Marine action Last night Glassford made public a letter to an unrevealed addressee ask- ing for immeaiate medical aid. It was | understood the letter went to the Dis- | trict of Columbia Medical Society. It | follows: - “Inclosed is memorandum of Dr. Don S.

Kramer, first as- sistant superintendent in charge of high schools and cadet affairs The explanation given by Mr. Kramer today for the cancellation of the project, scheduled to begin June 27, was that use of the camp by a portion of the Bonus Expeditionary Force in all probability will coincide with the camp dates.

CUT 750 of 952 Employes in I. C. C. Unit May Lose Their Jobs. - | Approximately 750 of the 952 em- ployes of the Valuation Bureau of the Interstate Commerce Commission will | lose their jobs if the 80 per cent cut in the appropriation for this work, recom- mended by the Senate Appropriations | Committee, is approved, it was learned today. The cut in the appropriation, se- cording to the commission, also would | practically nullify work that has cost ;me Government more than $42,000,000 since 1913, one member of the commis- ! sion declared. The Bureau of Valuation, established by act of Congress in 1913, is charged with establishing the value of the property of all rallroads in the country, for rate-making and financial organi- zation purposes. Cut by Three Agencies. Estimates of the 1. C. C. for the work of the bureau for the next year totaled $3554,368, and the Budget Bureau cut this amount to $3.233,231. The House Appropriations Committee reduced it to $2750,000 and when the Senate Ap- propriations Committee got through Wwith it only $750,000 remained to carry |on the work. This drastic reduction is vigorously opposed by the commission, according to Commissioner Ernest I. Lews, in di- rect charge of the Valuation Bureau Commissioner Lewis said there has been no plan for reorganization of the bureau in the event the drastically cur- tailed appropriation is approved, but indicated it would be impossible to carry |on the work of the bureau, in keep- |ing the commission supplied with cur- |rent valuations of railroads, under the reduced appropriation and the curtatled | staff. Reaches Effective Point. He explained the work of the Valu- Bureau has just reached a point is able’ to give the com- mission, on 60 days' notice, the current valuation of any railroad property in the United States. With constantly changing prices en- | ter: into the situation, the values of | railroads, particularly at this time, are changing rapidly. with the result that the Valuation Bureau is literally “up to the ears in work,” according to Lewi.. He pointed out the Valuation Bu- reau’s work is required by the law that reated it, but the law cannot be com- ed with under the reduced staff and propriation. Most of the employes who would go under the proposed reduction would be employes trained over a long num- ber of vears in this sort of work ber of years in this sort of work.
