FOR WARRECORD
PARIS, Prance, Feb. 7. Unique re
quests hav come to headquarters
of Vie Ftdac here from American
veterans since the passage of the
economy act, according to a state
ment of H. w. Dunning, assistant
secretary general of Fldac and de
partment commander of the Ameri
can Legion for France. Fldac la the
assocaltlon of veterans' societies of
the allied countries In the world war,
the Legion being the member society
In the United States.
Some of the requests taken from
Dunnlng's statement follow:
"Veterans stricken from the com
pensation rolls by the economy act
want certified copies of records from
hospitals long since abandoned; oth
ers want certificates from doctors
who have treated them during the
war: some seek comrades with whom
they have served.
"One Legionnaire, who had been
shell shocked while serving with the
Belgians, gave a description of the
event vivid enough that three Bel
gians who had been present recog
nized the occasion and recalled him
"A Legionnaire has requested that
an Italian doctor be found. He treat
ed the Legionnaire when both, were
prisoners of war In Germany.
"One American, writing from the
headwaters of the Amazon, requested
true copies of his French military
record in the Foreign Legion, stat'
lng he had lost the originals In an
encounter with an alligator.
"An American aviator has asked
the official account on an aerial
combat he had while serving with
a French squadron In 1918. This
was obtained for him. He had shot
a German ace through the thumb.
"An average of 20 requests per
wees come from the United States
from American veterans for medals
issued by the cities of Verdun and
Chateau-Thierry to Americana who
served in those sectors during the
war. An American veteran who lives
atop the Himalayas In India, cited
three times In the Order of the Day
of the French army, is among those
who have requested these medals recently."
A decision in favor of the defend
ants has been rendered by Justice of
the Peace William R. Coleman, in the
complicated civil action of O. B. Wad-
dell against Walter Woods and others,
for the recovery of personal property,
Involved in the purchase of a farm
In the Eagle Point district by Wad'
dell. The personal property was used
as security. It was an involved issue.
In a previous action, suit was in
stituted over the ownership of 14
cows. In a skirmish that followed

cows, testimony purported to show
that a woman had knocked down two
hay hands and Jabbed Woods In the
