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.

LARGE AMOUNT DUE
TO EX-SERVICE MEN
Situation Is Talked Over by
Legion. Delegates.
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

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.

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

similar matters. All discharged men

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.
