4 THE SUNDAY OREGON IAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 13, 1920 GERMAN ELECTIONS BLAST DEMOCRATS Future of Nation Believed to Be Seriously Jeopardized. ROYAL REACTION SETS IN Results Still Uncertain, but Trend Seems Unmistakably Toward 1 Willi Kxtrenics. BT CYRIL, BROWN. tCopyright ty the New York World li&hi'd by Arrangement. BERLIN", June 12. A great tipnary landslide has buried Pub- reac-Ger- muny's democratic party. "Democracy has been stabbed In the back," the democratic Tageblatt walls after digesting the partial elec tion returns, adding: "The democrat ic development is menaced from the right and left. Germany's future is' ueriously jeopardized. The confusion caused by the elections will not be unraveled for a long time and only after hard internal struggles." At the same time the great radical landslide has maimed the majority socialist party. The Catholic center party has held its own and tremen dous gains have been scored by the independent socialists. Ormorratn Wiped Out. The greatest gains were scored by the German people's party, the suc cessor of the old national liberals. The coalition debut as a party made a poor, weak showing. The demo crats were almost wiped off the po litical map. The majority socialists were whittled down to a slender ma jority. The ultra-reactionary German national people's party, successor of the old conservatives, showed an amazing come-back strength, making handsome gains. These are the principal features in dicated by the first election returns. Though the final result is unknow able until the last vote is counted, indications so far are that the pres ent coalition parties will pull through with an infinitely small majority. As was expected, a very light vote was cast, ranging from 65 or 70 per cent of the enrolled voting strength in Berlin to 90 per cent in the country. Both extremes, the radicals and reac tionaries, made the best showing in turning out a full vote. Klectinn Dny Iventlext. An absurdly quiet, orderly election day, hopelessly devoid of enthusiasm, was the featureless feature of the most momentous event in German political history. There were no crowds on the streets either morn ing, noon or night. The Lokal-An- zeiger points out the signif leapt fact that nowhere was any election hu mor noticeable. The earnestness of the hour lay heavy on everybody President and Frau Ebert went democratically afoot to the polling place for their district. The only picturesque election sight in all Ber lin was in the radical east end, where young girls wearing cc-nspicuous red bloomers made a novel and locally eiteclive propaganda for the commu nist party.

CLAIMS WILL BE PUSHED Members Urged to Take Advantage of Government Insurance and Vocational Training. More than 2,000.000 ex-service men have approximately $120,000,000 in cash and many other million dollars in allotments, insurance claims, lib erty bonds, travel pay ana equipment due them from the government which they do not know about, do not know how to get. or have not taken the trouble to claim. This situation is due to hurried demobilization, lack of knowledge of their rights, and In complete information cone e r n i n g methods of application in correct channels. There are a large number of these men in Oregon. In view of this situation, as set forth by speakers, the necessity of getting former soldiers, sailors and marines in Oregon all that they have a right to claim from Uncle Sam was the point driven home by George A White. newly appointed state voca tional officer of the American Legion, and government bureau representa tive, at a meeting in Portland yes terday attended by members of Amer ican Legion posts from every section of the state. Every scrap of avail able information to clear up hazy questions of procedure was given to the delegates. The sessions were held In the as- sembly hall of the Morgan building and lasted all day. Post representa tives were the guests of the depart ment executive committee of the legion at a banquet at the Multnomah ' hotel In- the evening, and many at tended the regular monthly com mittee meeting following the dinner. The conference was called to order shortly after 9 o'clock by William B. FoUett, commander of the Ameri can Legion, department of Oregon, and a brief welcoming address given. Insurance Plan Explain. Clifford Wood, representative In Oregon of the bureau of war risk insurance, was the first speaker. He dwelt on the advantages of govern ment insurance with low rates, cer tain dividends, paid up and cash values and a liberal disability clause providing for payments when the in sured is no longer able to follow any gainful occupation due to any. impairment of mind or body. Kspecial emphasis was given the necessity of reinstating - insurance which has lapsed before July 1. the final date allowed. Reinstatement may "be made, however, he declared, within 18 months after discharge, if that period should extend beyond July 1. Major Hugh DeValin of Seattle, su pervisor of the public health service lor the 13th district, including Ore gon, Washington and Idaho, was called on to explain the work done by the bureau in examining disabled service men and arranging for their compensation and training. There is a physician representative of the health bureau in every county, he asserted, and all ex-service men who think they have a disability incurred in line of duty are entitled to preliminary ex aminations, whether or not they qual ify for future compensation. Claude H. Anderson of Seattle, rep resentative of the federal board of vo cational education for the 13th dis trict, told of the aim of the board. which he said was to obtain for every ex-service man all that he was en titled to in the way of vocational re habilitation and compensation. He particularly asked the legionnaires to believein the sincerity or purpose or workers on the board, saying that while jnistakes had been made in the past he did not believe they were mis takes that others in similar positions would not have made, due to govern ment restrictions and red tape. In a snappy address which connect ed up, in the minds of his listeners, the various functions of the war risk bureau, public health service andsvo cational board. Fred E. Hamilton of Seattle, vocational liaison officer, dealt with concrete cases. An ex officer in the army, he pointed out that it was as necessary after the war as during it to fight for every thing secured through official chan nels. As he deal with actual situa Second week ' of this gorgeous production 20 stars an4 100 beautifully gowned women it is a picture for every woman. Admission to 5 P.

M. tions brought to his attention, Mr. Hamilton cleared up many tangles. 1 He pointed out that there was nq time limit for putting in a claim for vocational training and that the tele graph should be used to expedite'mat ters in dealing with northwest heads of the work. He explained that voca tional education and rehabilitation work was r.t tho disposal of all dis abled soldiers. A man with physical handicap is entitled to training with all expenses paid and remuneration of ?b0 to $150 a month, he declared. LrKlon Great Help to Board. In finding work for disabled men the American Legion has been of great assistance to the vocational board, said Mr. Hamilton, who an nounced that placement work in Ore gon was In charge of Kenneth L. Cooper. 209 Medical building. "Clean op tha final aftermath of war," urged George A. White, adjutant-general of Oregon, who was re cently appointed state vocational of ficer of the legion He pointed out that it was the chief service of the organization to aid comrades to clear up the great unfinished business fol lowing demobilization. The aid of every legionnaire was asked in assisting other ex-service men to get the $S3 bonus to which all were entitled on discharge but appli cation for whi'Mi was never made by 2.000,000 men. to clear up allotment tangles, trivel pay, liberty bond and similar matters. All discharged men were entitled to complete uniforms, not of much interest now, but which would be borne with pride on future memorial days, he said. Checking up the effects, pay due. allotments, etc., of deceased soldiers was another work in which the Le gionnaires and women's auxiliaries could b eof great assistance to rela tives, said Colonel White. The afternoon session resolved into a discussion of administrative mat- ters in the Legion, at which State Ad jutant Eivers made a strong plea for I co-operation of local posts. Puzzling J questions of dues were solved and every branch of the department work was discussed, so that delegates might know what was being done to aid ex-service men by the Legion throughout Oregon. Exchange of. experiences in han dling local post problems proved of much Interest to the post representa tives present, and advice based on knowledge of how various schemes of financing worked out flowed freely. Plans for the coming state conven tion of the organization at Astoria, July 30-31 and' August 1, were dis cussed. rr. Fred A.
