———— $i Four War Organizations on Joint Committee Agree to Co-operation, .EXPBCT SOCIETY HELP. Lilian Bell of Evening World Named to Body at La Guardia’s Conference. A drive for $100,000 for the erection of a Service House for veterans of fhe World War was inaugurated to- amy at a meeting im the office of Al- dermanic President La Guartia. ‘The Service House will be under the supervision and control of a joint committee formed by representatives from the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, National Guard As- sociation and Military Order of World War. At to-day's meeting a tempo- rary committee was selected, out of whieh will grow a permanent com- mittee of prominent men and women who will actually conduct the drive for the $100,000. ‘This temporary committee consists of Major Hugh Robertson, represent- mg the American Legion; Robert Starr Allyn, Judge Advocate General, Veterans of Foreign Wars; William F. Deegan, Vice Commander, State Department American Legion; Col. Arthur Little, 16th Regiment, Ne York National Guard; Col. W. M Sage, No. 15 East 38th Street; F. H. La Guardia of the American Flying! Ch, Mies Lilian Bell of The Eve- ~ ming World, Mrs. E. J. H. Kelly, No. 877 Lexington Avenue, and Mrs. J, Guider, No, 1017 Broadway. The purpose of the Service House is to provide proper and comfortable accommodation for ex-service men in the following order: Disabled soldiers, sailors and marines receiving instruc- tions under the Vocational Act; dis- abled service men as above, who have finished vocational! training and are not yet employed or able to earn full wages; all service men partially dis- abled not entitled to full compensa- tion, but hampered in their earning capacities; ex-service men tempor- arily in distress, and finally ex- service men in general. In a statement given out after the meeting, President La Guardia said: “The promise of co-operation and avsurance has been recelved from} ‘prominent New Yorkers, and it is ex- peoted the «um of $100,000 will be realized before the drive actually be- gme. All newspapers will be invited 10 co-operate, and any paper collect~ ng funds will be asked to hold them until the permanent Treasurer is se- lected by the permanent committee who will, at the end of the drive, take over such funds and give proper receipt therefor. “The purpose of the meeting this morning was to straighten out ap- parent misunderstandings which had crept into the work. It is perhaps the first time the various military or- ganizations have discussed fully and trankly an undertaking of this kind, and # is significant they are in full aceord for co-aperation, not only in the drive but in the supervision and 1000 ORVE LAUNCHED TO BLD SERN "AT MEETING TY HAL DAWES WILL HEAD.» eri xs INQUIRY ON CARE OF WOUNDED SOLDER CE HOUSE | Loot Valued at $10,000 About} to Be Carted Away From Detectives were busy to-day over the mystery of the robbery of a mfe in the offices of the Vacuum Of] Com- MeS pany of No. 61 Broadway, in the | Adams Express Company Building, | Apparently the burglar opened th| | safe without knowing the combination | or without using explosives or tools, No doors were forced to enter the Committee of Eleven to Investigate Conditions.

The uniform is loose fitting and in color is a cross be- tween navy blue and a letter carrier's uniform of gray. Difficulty has been experienced in fitting some of the prisoners. Charles A. Munphy, for instance, who is of more than generous proportions physically, wore « pair of trousers clearly to smaill for him, and when Warden Hanley noticed that they were held in place by a length of rope, he promised to procure a belt for him. Shortly after broaktast to-day the Jarcho brothers, Jacob and Morris, took up thelr work as tier runners. This includes scrubbing and sweep- ing, in addition to acting as messen- gers to carry the cards of visitors to the “apartment” of John T.

That the last named is the least favored is indicated by a statement issued to-day by Dr. Marcel Knecht, M, Viviani's personal representatiy in which he says: ™ not beggars. The French people will pay every dollar they owe to the United States.” Meanwhile the estimated mudget deficit of the French Government for the present year is placed at nearly 40,000,000,000 francs, or more than the entire national income in 1913.
