Red Tape Ripped to Tatters; Uncle Sam Has a Heart BY ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.— Sometim Uncle Sam is human and kind-hearted. a6 Sergeant Herman Davis was among top five in Pershing’s list of A. E. F. heroes. He died the other day in Memphis, penniless, his wife and two little children at his bedside. When Davis returned from the war, his breast was plastered with 11 decorations, including a coveted D. S. C., awarded him for having charged a German machine gun nest single-handed. Davis once had a $10,000 government insurance policy, but when he was out of a job in 1919 he allowed it to lapse. | | tae ee Last spring he began to feel tired and weak, and developed a cough. At the suggestion of govern- ment compensation, he threw back his head and said he “reckoned he wouldn't accept charity.” A few weeks ago his iliness developed into pneu- monia, and the Red Cross Chapter at Marked Tree, Tennessee, sent him to the Memphis Veterans’ Hospital, -* Major C. B. Allen violated regulations to take Davis in without the formal papers from the district office. Two days before his death, Davis filled out a compensation application for the benefit of his family. -It came to the bureau’ here, which violated another regulation to accept the application more than two years after the applicant’s discharge. This meant at least $42.50 a month for the widow. They found a way to reinstate Davis’ lapsed insurance, which means that the little family will get $57.50 more a month—don’t ask how, except that the Veterans’ Bureau was human, after all, and co-operated with Senator Caraway until the trick was done. | | } | No Place for Bert Now; His Job Goes to a Jap Boy, Struggling to Obtain Education, Finds G.
