es Commissioned

Inspired by the glorious traditions
of their native state which has
written so many stirring pages in
American history from the very
birth of the United States. many
Connecticut men have risen to com-
missloned gndes. In nil. there
are 90 commissioned officers in the
army to whom this state means
home. Of these 06. no less than
26 were commissioned by availing
themselves of the opportunity which
the government affords every youth
to attain his commission from the
ranks of enlisted men. Of the u.
:a were graduated from the United
States Military Academy at West
I’Jint and the remaining 46 were
appointed from the state at large.
from the National Guard, or from
the Organized Reserves.

The state's contribution of com—
missioned officers in the army to-
day includes three colonels. four
lieutenant coloncls, twenty-one
majors. thirty-three c s. p t a fin s.
twe ty-two first lieutenants and
~i en second lieutenants.
Connecticut’s sons are to be found
in every branch of the service, the
infantry. signal corps. medical corps.
coast artillery. field artillery, quar-
termasirr corps. corps of engineers.
cavalry, Judge advocate general’s de-
partment. chemical warfare service.
finance department, air service. ordi-
nance department and veterinary
corps may all point with pride to the
fact that they number among their
gel-sonnet men from the original

ankee state.

Four D. S. J '. Winners

The state's proverbial valor upon
the field of battle is attested to by
the fact that four of her officers
have been awarded the Distinguish-
ed Service Medal, an honor conferr-
ed “for exceptionally meritorious
service in a duty of great respon-
Iibility."

A most distinguished member of
the class of 1897. United States
military academy. is Colonel Sher-
wood A. Cheney, now serving as
side to the President at the White
House in Washington. Colonel
Cheney. like Colonel Barden, won
high standing in his class at West
Point. finishing fifth in a class of
sixty-seven. He saw service in the
Southwest from July. 1916. to May
of the following year. serving as as-
sistant to and as chief engineer of-
ficer. Upon the declaration of war
against Germany he was sent oh a
war department mission to Eng-
land and France and on his re-
turn was made colonel and placed
in command of the 110th regi-
ment of engineers at Fort Sill.
Oklahoma. Colonel Cheney went to
France as division engineer officer
with the 35th Division, A. E. F..
in August. 1918, and following
meritorius service at general head-
quarters as assistant to the chief
of engineers he was on October 1.
1018, made a brigadier general. U.
S. A. He then took over the ardu-
ous duties of the army transport
service which he discharged in such
a creditable manner that on Febru-
ary 2nd, 1919. he was awarded the
“distinguished service medal.

Colonel Edward L. Munson is the
third of Connecticut's trio of dis-
inquished wearers of the silver
eagle. Colonel Munson entered the
service in 1898 as an assistant sur-
geon and has spent all his army ca-
reer in the medical corps. being an
able practitioner at present on duty

degrees of A. 13.. M. D., and A. M.
conferred upon him by Yale univer-
sity, Colonel Munson is also a wear-
er of the distinguished service me-
dal. awarded by the Government
for meritorious service during the
World War. For a period of sev-
eral months during the late war,
Colonel Munson held the rank of
brigadier general.

[in From the Ranks.
A striking example of the oppor-
tunity awaiting the ambitious youth
who enlists in the American Army
and applies himself diligently and
faithfully to his duties and studies
may be” observed in the fact that of
the four lieutenant colonels hailing
from Connecticut no loss than three
rose from the ranks of enlisted
men. This commendable achieve-
ment was accomplished by Lieuten-
ant Colonels Harris Pendieton. Jr..
James Totton and George A. Wies-
trek.
Among the many distinguished
majors in the army today who hail
from the Nutmeg State is Major
Emmett Addie. at present serving
with the 4th Cavalry at Fort Rus-
sell, Wyoming. Major Addie too.
saw military service in the Philip-
pines.'cerving as “buck" private,
corporal and sergeant in the 11th
Cavalry from June 4. 1901, to Octo-
her 9. 1903, when he won his com-
mission as second lieutenant of In-
fantry. Shortly after he was trans-
ferred to the Cavalry and on March
11. 1011. was promoted to his nrst
lieutenancy. Early July of 1016.

35,000 Disabled Vets *

y Legislation

“The most important World War
veterans' relief measure passed by
the Congress in two years " was the

ture of ”5.000.000
“2.000.000 the second and 810.000,-
000 annually for succeeding years
with corresponding benenis for those
it is designated to aid.
The major provisions of the bill
are as follows:
Makes a net payment of fifty dol-
lars a month for veterans whose
service connected tuberculosis has
reached a condition of'arrest.
Allows veterans with war dis-
Ibiliiy to reinstate their war insur-
ance through charging the unpaid
blek premiums against the face
value of the reinstated policy. where
such veterans are financially unable
to pay these back premiums in cash.
Extends to July, 1917. the time for
filing claims for war disabilities and
for the submission of proof that the
disability is of warfi'igln.
Permits the completion of voca-
tional rehabilitation courses by ex-
tending placement training for dis-
abled to January 1. 1021 and edu-
cational training in schools and col-
leges for two yore for persons now
in training.
Allowa the discharge bonus of
sixty dollars to revive the insurance
of men who died after discharge and
did not receive this bonus.
Makes eligible for compensation
American women who were disabled
through serving in base hospitals
overseas: and grants free hospitai~
litation to the veterans of all wars
and expeditions without reference to
the lit‘f'Vlce connection of the dis-
nbil‘ty. including nurses of the Span-
ish-American war. This was former-
ly restricted to the wars since 1897.
In addition to the foregoing. Di-
rector Frank E. Hines of the vet-
eran's bureau expressed the opinion
that bureau regulations could be ex-
tended under the new bill to grant
service connection for chronic con-
stitutional diseases not now his-
torically connected with the service.
such as disorders of the heart. kid-
neys and digestive system. Provl~
sion for these cases has been made
in a separate bill introduced by rep-
resentative Edith Nourse Rogers of
Massachusetts. The directors' de-
cision followed a conference in his
office attended by Mrs. Rogers and
Watson 8. Miller. chairman of the
Legion's Natio 11 a1 Rehabilitation
Committee.
The Johnson Bill contains twenty-
two sections amending the World
war veterans act of 1920. the gen-
eral luw affecting World war vet-
crane.
The majority provisions of this
measure were adopted as a national
policy by Congress only after years
of 'tudy on the part of veterans
committee of the house of reprc-l
scntatives. a majority of whose mem-
bers are World war veterans and
many of whom were disabled in ac-

the first year.

ing the war's disabled.

NEW RECORD
FOR HAULING.
FREIGHT

“The most extraordinary demon-
stration yet givon of the increase
that has occurred during the last
three years, in the capacity and
operating en'iciency of the railways
has been afforded by their perform-
ance in handling freight tradic in
the first half of 1928." says the Rail~
le Age. "Until this year the
freight business of the first half of
1923 was the largest ever handled
in the first half of any year. this
having been partly due to the great
amount of coal shipped in the
m'onths following the coal strike
which ended in the latter half of
1012. Without any such abnormal
coal trafio conditions as existed in
1021. freight business in the tint
half of 19:6 slightly exceeded that
in the first half of test.
“There was, however. a very great
difference in the way the business
was handled in these two half years.
Almost throughout the first half of
1928 there were car shortages, and
during the first five months of, the
year the railways failed to furnish
shippers 1,107,042 cars at the time
for which they had ordered them.
the averag. weekly car shortage be-
ing “.3".
"On the other hand. in the first
five months of less the railways fail-
ed to furnish shippers only 1.“?
cars at the exact time for whlefithey
had ordered them. or an average
of only 10 a week. Although the
average number of cars loaded
.gveraged about 050.000 a wash. a
new high record. the number of unv
tilled shlppers' requisitions for ours
was the smallest for any Noel
period in the history of the railroads,
the service rendered in furnishing
cars when wanted, being, as the fig-
ures show. almost 100 per cent.
“The railways of the Southwsot.
and “socially those serving Old-p
horns and nnsas, are nudlng it ex-
tremely diflcult at present to furnish
enough bog ears for moving wheat
because the crop is not only large _
but is needing all preom .-
timstes. This. however. is a local
condition. and the railways and the
