Marx, judge of the su Perior court of Cincinnati and na tional president, is making extensive Plans for strengthening the body be. | fore it holds its first national con Yention at Detroit, June 27 to 30. He expects to increase the asso elation’s membership to 100,000 be fore the convention.

They are: ! 1. Extension of vocational training to all disabled men, regardless of Tatings. | 2. Vocational training for widows and orphans of men who died in service. | 3.

Their Purpose is to co-operate with the gov- ernment agencies, and with the Red Cross, American Legion and Veter ans of Foreign Wars, to build up an ‘come back’ and take their places in the nation as self-supporting and independent citizens. “Show them that you are behind them, that you believe in their abil- ‘ ity, help them over the rough places by lifting their spirits,” Marx says, ‘and you have convinced them that ‘they can come back. “The association is doing this by @mlisting the aid of local community organizations wherever posts are es- * tablished, providing employment op- portunities and arranging recrea- tional facilities such as club rooms ‘and camps.” Marx lay for weeks tn a hospital after the armistice, recovering from eight shrapnel wounds which pune. tured his body with deep scars, while he was officially reported dead PUEBLO READY TO CLEAN UP Citizens Are Digging Out of | Flood Wreckage BY SAM I. FREED PUEBLO, June 8.--This city today géttled down to a long and hard pull to get from under the mud and|/ misery left in the wake of the mad Arkansas river. The harvest of dead stood at 45/ bodies in local morgues, and reports of 27 other dead in valley towns. Work of cleaning up Pueblo win| take months, it was said. Railroads | have started filling in breaches in the | levees which will serve to protect the new tracks being laid. ‘Two relief trains arrived from Den- ver today and one left for the strick- | en cities of the north. Five hundred Pueblans cheered the first train to reach the station. Two motor lorries and 50 wagons “were to entrain today from Fort| Sam Houston, Texas, for Pueblo to) help restore order and dig the city out. More than a hundred horses drown- ed in the flood were burned in great pyres on the outside of the city. The comforts of civilization, wiped ut for several days, are quite gen erally restored today with electric light, water, telephone service and a minimum amount of domestic gas available. Several of the flood victtms were to be buried today, the services to be very simple affairs. ‘Transfer of refugees to the conc#h- tration camp built by national guardsmen began last night with the removal of many men from the court nd schools to the tent city on uth Side. The camp will be enlarged gradual. ly to relieve all public institutions, as their preserice in schools, court houses, municipal and city buildings has seriously upset official routine. 29 Bodies of N. W. Heroes Arrive Here Twenty-nine bodies of former service men, who died in France, were to arrive here Wednesday, destined for various points of the Northwest. Among them is that of Lewis F.
