Veterans Bureau Has Been
Cleaned Up, States Hines
FT. PAUL.— The United States
Veterans Bureau “has been cleaned
up" but “it cannot take another for*
ward step unless public confidence
in our work is preserved by a ces
sation of turmoil and baseless con
demnation,” declared General Frank
T. Hines, director of the bureau
in an address Monday before the
convention of the American Legion.
General Hines complimented the
legion for responding to his appeal
for lta “wholehearted co-operation
and lending ungrudgingly an active
and intelligent co-operation of tho
highest degree of helpfulness”
“I find the air is at this m*mert
full of presages and rumors that
attacks will shortly again be made
upon the veterans’ bureau,” he said,
"that propaganda of a certain sort
is in preparation for use In aid of
purposes not at all connected with
the interests of the ex-service men
and that publicity campaigns are
projected In which It is intending to
search out the mistakes and errors
of the past. You and I must put
our shoulders to the wheel and so to
visit, as It were, the "ins of the
fathers upon the children of the
third and fourth generation."

How does she do it?
Not by diet.
Not by glands.
Not by daily dozens.
In fact, by nothing more than

den of supporting the family fell
upon him. He chose to sort beans
as his father had done.
Within a few years he was an
employer. He married Miss Mary
Stevens, daughter, of an Albion
Methodist minister and interested
Wall street capital in 'his busi
ness.
During the World War Sands
furnished beans for the allied ar
mies and is said to have made more
than a ’milliort dollars from these
contracts.
«
It Is believed by friends that the
strain of long devotion to business
has affected his health. He was a
director of many banks.
The Sands corporation has done
an annual business of four or five
million dollars.
Announcement of the closing was
made by Sanford T. Church, attor
ney for Mr. Sands. He said no
action had been taken toward
bankruptcy, this depending on fur
ther examination of the books and
a meeting of creditors.
General Hines said:
"It it shall be said that there is
anything fundamentally wrong
with the veterans bureau now such
statements shall be untrue. I am
not so foolish as to suggest that
the administration of veteran re
lief is now a perfect thing, for it
is not and never will be, but we
can say—for it is truth itself—that
an enormous stride has been taken.
“Ail available government hospi
tal facilities have been thrown
open to veterans of any war, mili
tary, occupation* or expeditionary
since the beginning of the Hpanish-
American war without asking whe
ther the ailments were due to ser

their own misconduct or not, so

only 5,000 men have been rehabilita

000 of them within the past 10
years and 40,000 others are in the
course of completing training.”

learns that a portion of the troops
of General Chang Tso-Lin have
already moved and are still moving
by way ofi the Japanese south
Manchuria railway, presumably
from the province of Kirin ami
from Antung and Shenklang toward
Mukden. It is authoritively stated

this as a matter of “railway busi

anese aid for General Chang which
is not Japan’s intention.

procedure in such movements has
been followed; that General Chang
has asked permission from the
Japanese consul in Mukden who as
a subordinate of Count Kodama,
governor of the Japanese leased
territory in Kwantung peninsula,
referred the request to Kodatna sit
Dairen. The request, It is said,
•was granted and the movements or
