NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Nome and Kentucky Stage Dramatic Stories—Help for Chicago Drainage. ■ By EDWARD W. PICKARD "pFBLir attention was centered on two events that, while not of great importance generally, were dramatic In the extreme and even agonizing. These were the heroic relief of diphtheria- stricken Nome by mashers' and their dog teams carrying fresh supplies of antitoxin; and the trapping of Floyd . (’(dins In Sand cave, In Kentucky, and the desperate efforts to extricate him. The Ice-bound Alaska town was at tacked by an epidemic of diphtheria and its small supply of serum was soon exhausted. Appeals for more met with Instant response, but the supply had to be sent across hundreds of miles of snow and ice-covered coun try. The best mushers of the nortli offered the services of themselves and their teams. Leonard Seppaln with his champion dogs started the great relay rare against death and made record-breaking time despite the ex treme cold and the raging blizzard. He disregarded warnings not to cut across the breaking Ice of Norton bay, and delivered the package of serum to (’harJle Olson at (lolofnin. Olson car ried It to the village of Illuff, on the other side of (’ape Nome from theftown of Nome, and there he was met by Gunnar Hasson, who made the last lap of fifty-five miles under conditions that caused him to describe it us the tough est trip he ever had In his 21 years of experience as a musber. His malamutes —half wolf—were led by the famous Ralto, who followed the trail unerring ly though Hasson could not see his hand before his face. Gunnar passed through the villages of Solomon and Safety without stopping, unaware of the fact that relays were waiting there, and in the early morning hours the heroic driver and his great hearted dogs dashed into Nome with the life saving antitoxin. The people of Amer ica will not soon forget the relief of Nome and the gallantry pf Seppala, Olson and Hasson and their dogs.

This gen eral review involves hundreds of thousands of eases. The review is be ing niade in response to a suggestion presented by the national rehabilita tion committee of the American Legion. General Frank T.-Hines, director of the bureau, lias set up a special sec tion of the bureau to review these cases. Special attention will be given to see if they are entitled to further consideration and action under the Keed-Johhson bill. The review has already covered more than 60.900 such ensrs. * Favor able action lias been taken or is in contemplation in some-0.<>00 cases, ten per cent of the number reviewed. In 1.855 cases approval of awards for payment lias already been granted. Among the cases which had pre viously been disallowed are .numerous death cases, others are disability cases disallowed prior to the decen tralization of the veterans’- bureau in 1921. No communication or other in formation had been received concern ing them since that time and they had been held inactive at tbe central of fice of the bureau at Washington When it is found in reviewing these cases that the claimant is entitled to further benefits, letters are at once sent to alT addresses of record in an effort to’ learn the present where abouts of tbe (dnimant.
