WILL NOT FORGET MEN IN SERVICE President Speks to Former Soldiers, Will 1elp Imsabled. Atlantic City, N. J., Sept, 11.-~A message to foinmer service men was delivered here .today by President :Harding during his Sabbath activ ities at the ocean side which included attendance at church, an address to veterans of the Fifth Division, A. E. FP., and an hour's stroll among the boardwalk crowds. After attending the Chelsea Bap tist church with !Mrs. 'Harding and his other guests, the president found several hundred Fifth division vet erans assembled in front of his beach front hotel when he returned. Stand ing on a chair, the presidetn urged that former service men aid in soly ing .the problems of ipeace as they have those of war. "There is nothing too good In America for its veteran defenders" said .the president. " All America is proud of what you and your division did at the Mouse. All America is proud of what our soldiers (lid in the critical (lays of the war." Apparently referring to the soldier bonus legislation, President Harding declared that the nation would spare no efforts to care for its wounded and its disabled defenders. "The man who came back wounded and impaired in ability to carry on the vocation of his life deserves the fullest aid in our 'power to give, ana I propose to use all influence I have to see that he gets it," he said. "But I am not so much concerned nwith those who came out of the war un impairied. They have the comipen* sation. of supreme service and ex perience. You may be disappointed with matters of legislation, but I want you to know that we are inter ested in Xour welfare. "I am not unmindful of the job you did over there. I am not un mindful of the service you rendered to the country under your fiormer commander, and I ask that you will render me the same faithful service during the years I am in office. There Is still greater service to be rendered in establishing national lines of peace. It is up to you to help solve the problem that has been thrust up on us by the enemy from within. "I want this to continue as an America of opportunity and as an America of grateful alppreciation." At 5 o'clock this afternoon, despite a light drizzle, President Harding tramped a mile on the boardwalk and 'was given enthusiastic receptions. With difficulty he waded through crowds which pressed from all sidies. Ho shook hands with hundreds, most ly children, was bombarded with flow ers and finally the crush became so great he was forced into a side street. Tonight the president and Mrs. Harding were the guests at dinner of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander P. Moore, of Pittsburgh. The president may end his vacation here tomorrow and motor along the coast and pick up the Mayflower for his return to Washington. * * S S * S S S S * S S S * * JONES NEVWS * * * S S * S S S * * * S S * Jones,.Sept. 12.-We were very sorry to hear of the recent death of our .warm friend, 'Mr. Womp Cannon.
