Some marchers had their own cars and were drawing compensation from These did not the government. the Red Cros3 of take advantage offer. Others did avail themselves of the assistance offered by the Red Cross and others. No cne has yet given a satisfactory reason why these marchers remained in Washington after congress had adjourned, as there was in Washington in the absence of congress no authority to comconply with their demands. The gress had provided for the transportation of all veterans to their homes. Congress had provided for assistance to the states where the states were not able to supply the needs of the veterans upon their arrival at their homes.

The other was to uphold law and order and protect the lives of the people and suppress the mob. The course that Amercans always have pursued when the authority of their government is challenged by a mob was followed by the President in this instance. No one was injured after the coming of the troops. No property was destroyed after the coming of the troops except that which was destroyed by the marchers themselves. The duty of restoring law and order was performed with directness, with effectiveness, and with unparalleled humanity and kindliness. Continued from Page One DeLOS E.
