Aa latereaiiag Paper
We have received from Pref. W. C.
Moon, from Coblenz, a copy Of. a cir¬ cular of information regarding spe¬ cial education for soldiers of Army Troop, Third Army, which is now on exhibition st oor office.
An  Expression of Our Appreciation
We are indebted to the Village Board'of Trustees, first for thehr un¬ animous approval of the Nassau Coun¬ ty Review for the offlcial paper of the village for the ensuing year. As a matter of fact, the Review is the only paper that can be appointed now, be¬ ing the only paper printed or pub¬ lished in the village, but the Board of Trustees was not aware of the law in this case and made the designation because they considered the Nassar County Review the representative pa¬ per of the village.
Secondly, because of their changing the meeting time of the Board from Thursday to Wednesday. This is the first time within our recollection that a viUage board of trustees in Freeport has considered the newspapers when making their designation, meeting either "rharsday or Friday, so that the news was a week late before it could be printed. Meeting now a day earli¬ er gives ample time to report their meetmgs the day rather than the week, after they occur.
Local Items
The Review is always willing to publish social items and news of a general character which will be of in¬ terest to its readers, and will greatly appreciate it if such items be brought or sent to the Review office. Matter which ii not left personally at the of¬ fice should, however, be signed by the sender, as a proof of good faith but not for the (Purpose of publishing the .render's name.
Don't Get Too Soft-Hearted^
The writer listened to Scout Jo^ Cassell, one of the first men to enter the war with the English Army, who spoke at the Methodist Church Sun¬ day evening, going very briefly into some of his experiences. We wore impressed with the 'fact that it was very difficult for him to restrain him¬ self when speaking of the fiendish acts he had seen/committed by the Hun barbarians, «nd after hearing him tell of sonv of the things he had seen, and which he said were not comparable with some he could not tell about, we were deeply im¬ pressed with his advice not to "Get too soft hearted with this 'love thine enemies stuff'" he said that injunc¬ tion was not intended for a person who was not repentant for the wrong he had done and the only repentance there was yet in the mind of the Hun was the regret for what he had done because of the posaibility of punish¬ ment, and not for the barbarous way in which he had tortured men, wo¬ men and children.

Burglars Couldn't Get In
Burglars attempted to force an en¬ trance into the shoe store of C. D. Smith, South Main Street, Monday ev¬ ening. This is the fourth time Mr. Smith's store haa been entered in this way, and he now has the back of the building strongly protected, the only window being in the toilet, with the others boarded up at night. A glass was broken out of this window but the door to the toilet was locked and the midnight visitors found it im¬ possible to get it open, although they brought in a big iron bar and tried to pry it. Nothing was known of the visit until Mr. Smith's assistant, Har¬ old Guest, opened the store in the moming, and saw the window open, and on investigation found the bar where it had been left after being used unsuccessfully.
"Better Luck  Next Time"
The visitors or some others re¬ turned Wednesday night, via the aec¬ ond floor and emptied Mr. Smith's cash drawer.
Denies Existence of "Basket Cases" In Army Hospitals
The War Department authorizes the following statement from thc of- ! fice of the Surgeon General:
The Surgeon General of the Army, Major General Merritte W. Ireland, denies emphatically that there is any foundation for the stories that have been circulated in all parts of the country of the existence of "basket cases." in our hospitals. A basket case is a soldier who has lost both legs and both arms and therefore can¬ not be carried on a stretcher.
Gen. Ireland says; "I have person¬ ally examined the records and am able to say that there is not a single bas¬ ket case either on this side of the wat¬ er or among the soldiers of the A. E. F. Further, I wish to emphasize that there has been no instance of an American soldier so wounded during the whole period of the war."
Whether malicious or not, ttie rum¬ or of auch mutilations has been per- sis^nt It comes from passengers on trains, from strangers in hotel lob¬ bies, and even from war workers of known patriotism. Such stories may now be stopped with an absolute de¬ nial.

REDCiraSMnES
Baa— for Oeldieta aai Varaaa
Baetion 1406 of Sta Revenue Act, approved February 24. 1919, author¬ ising the payment of a bonus of $60 to officers, soldiers, fleid clerks and nurses of the Am^ upon honorable separation from active service by dis¬ charge, resignation or otherwise. This bonus is not payable to the heirs or representatives of any deceased sol¬ dier. Thoee who are discharged here¬ after will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay.
In order to receive this bonus it will be necessary to present discharge pa¬ pers. The Nassau County Chapter has arranged to aend these discharge papers by special messenger to Wash¬ ington in order that they will surely be retumed to the individual soldier or nurse. ^Arrangements can be made at the various local Red Cross ^^ad- quarters for transportation to Mineola on Saturday, March 29 and April 5. Communications or inquiries can be addressed to Mrs. P. L. Keays, Nas¬ sau County Chapter House, Mineola, L. I., telephone, Garden City 1490. Mrs. Keays assures all applicants that discharge papers will be quite safe in the hands of the Homh Service Bu¬ reau and will be well guarded and re¬ tumed to the owner at an early date. OM Jobs Or Better for All Wounded Men
Thousands of American soldiers so maimed in the fighting in France as to be unable to return to their old employment, are unaware that the .American Government has made ev¬ ery provision for their complete re¬ habilitation in civil life.
Many of the Wounded will be able to go back to their old jobs so Uncle Sam's greatest anxiety is to flnd and tell those who cannot that he-^eill train them for new vocations, pay all bills, including the living expenses, and also assist any dependents of the soldier while he is being refitted for civilian usefulness. It is a matter of paramount importance to the na¬ tion and the soldier alike, and accord¬ ingly tiie program provided by Con¬ gress is the most liberal adopted by [any nation in the war.
At least 20,000 disabled fighters arc entitled to the benefits offered by the Federal Board for Vocational Educa

I (The editor of the Nassau (bounty \ Review recfintly had a talk with Clar¬ ence A. Edwards regarding the sewer conditions in Freeport, and at our re¬ quest, he has written the following communication embodying his ideas in this matter. The question is one that we must eventually meet, and which we may well begin to consider very carefully.—Ed.)
March 24, 1910. Dear Sir:—
(ftobably it might be in order for me to point out some of the prevail¬ ing conditions of our village which prevent progress and growth to our good town.
Since the first day of Janoary, 1919, I have been unable to furnish homes for not less than three to four hundred families, all of which were willing to pay in the neighborhood of |26 to $76 a month rent There is nothing in the town to rent and it seems unfort¬ unate for the growth of oor Village that such a condition exists.
I have a party from New York who is witlmg to expend approximately $200,000 on a first class apartment house provided sewerage disposal can be guaranteed. The disposal of sew¬ erage from an apartment of forty to flfty families could not be taken care of by cesspool arrangements, bat reg¬ ular sewerage would be necessary.
TJm erection of an apartment of tjiis nature in our vilkge would aid ery materially hi tbe qoestion of em- ployment; trade to our local aier- chants; mcrease ot assessment; thus jliaviair a tendency fer rednelSsti of taxes; and consnmption of ths villsge water and electricity.
There is no doubt, if one apartment was started in this village it wouU be filled immediately and woald be fol¬ lowed by other investers in construct¬ ing this ehiss of house.
It strikes me that consideration of a sewerage disposal plant for the Vil- hve of Preeport is worthy of very serious consideration.
I am of the opinion that the money expended by our residents in clean¬ ing of cesspools is more than enough to teke care of the expense of a bond¬ ed hidebtednes4 hi carryi|>g charges for a disposal plant
In addition to the development of Freeport by the histallatioo at a aaw. arage disposal plaat there is ao deobt that Vae Board of Health will^gres ttiat it wsold idd nattriaay ta ths, health at oar good team.
