T. Squire of the Am- erican Legion has been on the jump | all day seeing that the men registered for appointment at the employment bureau at City Hall. There were about 200 men today who presented their cases to the clean-up squad for action. Field cases opened, Secrctary George Fox, one of the “big six"” in state American Leglon circles, has been assigned to the squadron to be liasion officer be- tween the men and the government officials. Harry Guite, a former local man, i one of the members of the squad- ron and many of his foymer friends reported at the Legion rooms today. His presence adds a local atmosphere to the visit and the effects on the ex- servicemen can readily be seen. Stephen MacRae, who is in charge of the squadron, expressed himself as being pleased by the way the men turned out to have claims settled, say- ing that each man who reported was a tribute of confidence in the gov- ernment and to the ability of the squad. G. Hass is with the squad, as the official “glad hand” artist of the Red Cross. He tells the men how to approach the officials and lends as- sistance in every way posible. Mr. Hass, in explaining the process by which the squadron works, said that a case came to the attention of the doctors recently. A man claimed he had been kicked by a horse while he was in the army. He had been out of the army two years, and it was hard to tell whether this man re- ceived his injury while in service. The “Buddie affidavit” was used. A leutenant remembered the soldier complaining at the time. The sol- dier was sent to the hospital imme- diately for an operation. Doctors Robert Scully and Henry L. Meskstroth are the doctors comnected with the squadron. on the alert all day listening to the fatrical side of the claims. A Legion committee of local men were ¢n hand to help their “buddies” in every way Dpossible. So great was the pressure on the officlal stenographer, H. W. Wein- berg, that Willlam W. T. Squire sent out an 8§ O S call to the Smith Bus- {iness college and assistance was sent Aown to the Legion rooms at once. It is possible that the squadron will be here until Sunday of this week.

There were hundreds of workmen at or near the ill-fated plant at 7:30 o'clock when the explosion occurred, .nd there were wild rumors regarding the loss of life yesterday and last night. These could not be confirmed, but it appeared certain that the cas- ualty list would be appaling. Immediately after the blast, every means of rescuing injured and bring- ing out the dead were utilized, but several minor explosions prevented workers from entering the srounds for a long time. Great clouds of cnemical fumes hung over the ghastly scene of ruin, and the first men to enter the place were compelled to woar gas masks, The “umes spread as far as Mann- he'm and Ludwigshafen, and tend- ed to heighten the fears of the fright ened people.
