During his freshman* year college, though hut sixteen years age, he enlisted In the and served In tn of regular army the Spanlsh-Amerlcun war as a private. He received his d<* gree of M.

Investigating pellagra In the southern states. The Wisconsin Psychiatric Institute was started by -Doctor Lorenz In 1015, when he assumed the post of director of the Institution, which has since de veloped Into one of the most Impor* tnnt research departments In the state service. This led to his appoint ment as professor of nervous and mental diseases at the University of Wisconsin In 1017. Knrly In 1017 he recruited a field hospital In Madison, and received a commission as lieutenant, taking com mand of the unlj In June, and Was pro moted to the rank of major. The company was designated as Field Hos pital 127, and was attached to the Thirty-second division. While In France Doctor Lorenz developed' a special system for handling wounded, f.Ji' Dr. William F. Lorenz. which later was standardized through out the First army. For the expedi tion with which the wounded were handled he received the Distinguished Service medal.- Doctor Lorenz’ first service for the disabled veterans began when he re turned to Wisconsin.

While a member of this com mlttee he became active In disclosing the Inadequacy of federal plans for hospitalization'. With Col. A. A Sprague and Col. Thomas A.

As proof of this he served on the service recognition board of the state which adminis tered the soldiers’ relief fund, passing on cases of disability without comi>en- satlon. He also assisted In perfecting machinery for payment of the Wls- sonntn state bonus.

On Monday the senate followed the example of the house by overriding the President's veto of the soldiers’ bonus hill and It thus became law. All the pressure brought hy the administration and the numerous bodies ‘Mid Individ uals opposed to the bonus was unavail ing. The vote was 5b to 26, two more than the necessary two-thirds, the ma jority Including 3<) Republicans, 27 Democrats and 2 Farmer-Luboritcs. It Is estimated that 3.03N.2K3 veter ans will he entitled to the insurance policies provided hy the soldier bonus bill, while 380,583 will be paid cash of $50 or less. The average certifiente face value Is estimated at $062. The certificate Is payable In full after twenty years, or before In case of death. Loans nuiy be obtained on the pollcjes after two years. The lowest estimate of the cost of the bonus Is that annual appropriations aggregat ing $2,280,758,542 will he necessary over the twenty-year period. There also will he necessary $0,5(K).- 000 for administrative expenses the first year.

What will he the effect of the futile veto on Mr. (’oolidge's political fortunes Is debatable. Ills message of disapproval was such a well rea soned and conimonsense document and so politically courageous that It probably will deprive him of few votes, and the bonus issue Is removed from the campaign. The vote-hungry congressmen who insisted on passing the hill presumably will receive their reward.
