second and Miss Clarice Harpester
third, all of these contestants having
over fifty thousand votes.

WASHINGTON, May 19. The senate voted virtually without debate.
An almost absolute silence prevailed during the roll call and as the result
was announced cheering broke out In the crowded gallery.
President Cummins ordered the strgeant-st-arms to clear the gallery,
but as he added, "If the disturbance continues," the democrats arose and
applauded loudly.
The house on Saturday, by a margin of 62 votes over-rode the veto, 313
to 78, thus putting definitely up to the senate for the second time the final
word on the legislation. The bill provides for 20-year endowment Insurance
policies and for cash payments to veterans not entitled to more than $50 In

WASHINGTON. Msy 19 Enacts
mint of the war veteran bonus bill
Into law has laid upon tbe shoulders
of the government departments an
administrative task so huge that the
flvures Involved stagger tbe Imagin
ation. They must explore a veritable
mountain of war records. From that
mass of musty documents they must
pick out the Individual war histor
ies of more than 6.893.000 men to
provide the data upon which alone
bonus payments of any kind can be
mads.
The dally servlco of every soldier,
sailor or marine who lerved under
the flag In the Great War at home
or abroad. Is subject now to minute
examination. Through his days of
sickness snd health, of training at
home or abroad, the searchers must
follow each man through the wilder
ness of official records. And tho
bulk of tbe tssk must be done In
the close packed filing rases of the
Wsr Department where tbe Intimate
official story of America at war
alone Is told.
In these records alone are more
than 167.000.000 separate docu
ments, each of which It may be nec
essary to hsndle many times before
the vetersns can all be assured of
bonus payments. It will require 27
separate checking operations to
make the examination of the file
and It will take 2,800 clerks to do
the work In the war department
alone.
There are amazing stories by the
hundreds of thousands among these
Individual war records. There are
tales of highest heroism, of great ad
venture: tales, too. rich In pathos
and sacrifice. They are the war
