OTHERS DEFER REQUEST UNTIL LATER YEARS Some Lads Not Yet of Age May Await Until Time to Establish Homes Some of the American legion members who have had occasion to investigate, believe that 5,00(1 tervice men will apply for state Joans as soon as the money is avaibable which they believe jkill be within four months from the date of the passage of the measure. This is oi course only an esti mate, but they believe it to be close to the truth. The- estimate that there are about 34,000 men in all who are entitled to the sol diers' relief. Out of this number, some have left for other states, nd will never return to Oregon to take advantage of the privileges offered them. Some are well enough situated, financially, that they will ask nothing from th state. It is estimated, however, that probably another 7000 will ask for their privileges under the new law, within another year aft er the law becomes effective, lioan IVivilege I,a-ts A point that has not been em phasized. and is not perhaps con sidered by many, even of the beneficiaries, is that the law has no time clause for the loan fea tures. 1'nless repealed by the peo ple which is not conceivable ;t will be as effective in 10 or 4 0 years, as it is the day it Roes into operation. The cash bonus pro vision is terminable, but the other; is not; it lasts like mother-love. Tho preat good of this ever- lasting feature of the loan bill is I that if a soldier is not nowtor for two to five or 10 years, ready to j settle down for a permanent home i he does not lose his rights, but j can at anv time ask for and re-i reive what is due him. Many of the bovs are still under 21 years .Id, and are not through s hool ' "y ,f tabiisi, themselves 1,1 business and home. When a home becomes (heir one supreme desire, the state money is still ready for them, to be had for the asking.

I AVAILABL IN 4 MONTHS Gardner Describes His Plan of Escape to Scenario Writer and Carries it Out in Exact Detail SEATTLE, Wash., June 11. Roy (iardner, master train robber, who, with Morris II. Pyron, escaped from their guards on a California train at Castle Rock, Wash., early today, outlined in detail his plan to escape and then proceeded to carry out the derails, according to Miss Sada Cowan of Los Angeles, motion picture scenario writer, who talked with the convict on the train yes terday. Miss Cowan, upon her arrival here today said she talked with the two men and that Gardner had given her his plan for escape, as the outline for a scenario. "He declared he would get the guard at the unex pected time," Miss Cowan said, "and told me in the pres ence of his guards that he did not intend to "go to Mc Neil's. He said he would watch his chance and I would get my next thriller 'straight from the main heavy."' When they parted for the night Gardner said "sorry I can't tell you just when I'm going I'd like to say good bye," Miss Cowan related and later in the night she was awakened by the two guards, handcuffed together and discussing their plight in whispers outside her berth.
