But the officials saw the humor in th situation and took it good nuturedly. When Major Swing, aide to General March, rushed from the Chicago train over to the local and requested the brakeman to "save a seat for the Secretary of War and the Chief of Staff." he was met with, "Save nothing; 1 ain't pot no authority to savo no seats for nobody. If you got any secretaries with,-you they'll have to nke their chances on : seats just like anybody else'..

One day coach seat half a seat, in fact was found and as the Secretary declined it. General March took it, and Mr. Baker soon went into the smoker, which w-as not quite so crowded. The Jerky, bumpy journey to Des Moines proved full of incidents that brought humorous speculations from General .March, as more passengers and milk cans were piled od at each successive station.

winners a social or banquet.

DISABLED MEN ARE AIDED BY OFFICIAL

Will J. McKeown, head of the work for disabled soldiers in the Lake Division, was in Richmond today representing the federal vocational board. Several Wayne county boys who have been disabled while in the service and are not yet as "good as new" called at the Red Cross headquarters where Mr. McKeown met them and talked over with them the individual problems confronting them in reentering the industrial or i 'ofesslonal world. The great difficulty which is presented to the federal board, Mr. McKeown explained, la that persons who should receive training or be placed in suitable employment do not come to the home service department and explain the matter. "Every disabled man who is not able to reenter the work he was doing before the war should report to the home service department office of his country and arrange to take advantage of the training the government is offering," he said "I do not understand the hesitancy on the part. of some of our boys. This work, ia 7 being engineered for them, and it is their right to take advantage of it. "Many men will never be prevailed to see tho logic of this I am afraid," he said, "and yet some most admirable and, interesting results have been received from hte work. Men and boys who have served their country deserve reinstatement if they are disabled, and in America they can receive it." It is understood that there are men in Wayne county who should take advantage-of vocational training in this way, who have bo far, failed to do so. .',... M ' 1 .....
