McArthur, chief of staff, who directed the troops that evicted the bonusmen with fire and sword, has said that “only one in ten were veterans.” Hines estimated 8.000 veterans were here, of whom 5,109 asked and received government loans for transportation home. Os this'cross-sec-tion, 3.400, or two-thirds, had served overseas. Only thirty-six had been i commissioned officers, police i estimated the bonus men's numbers around 20.000 at one time during their two-month stay. Hines also estimated that only 500 of the 8,000 were not ex-service men, but he added that prror in names an service records may have caused the veterans' bureau to fail to showsome veterans really did service. He also revealed that of t.he first 3,600 to arrive, about 800 were found not to have credentials, whereupon the bonus leaders forced them to leave the camp.

With no telephone in the camp, the guards were helpless, until one of them traveled two miles to notify H. S. DeArvand, superintendent. The latter called out the bloodhounds and posses and the chase began. The nosse closed in on them at a field fifteen miles from here.
