J THE EEE't OMAHA, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 ; Twin Brothers, (War Veterans, In Merry Mixup Iowa Youths Who Served in War Together Separted in Training School by Similar Records. Lincoln, March 2S.-Da1e and Dell Trailor are twin brothers, lney look and act as much alike as the two well-known peas m a pod. Ur dinarily their similarity in names, ap pearance and actions causes them only fun at the expense of their friends. It remained for Uncle Sam and his staff of clerks in Washington to so badlv mix up these two young men that they questioned even them selves which was which. Dale and Dell on July 16, 1917, at the age of 18, enlisted in the army , at Mount Pleasant, la. They went v to training camp together. I hey were assigned to duty m the same company and -regiment, and were sent overseas together with the I6&U1 infantry, Rainbow division. Both were privates, first-class. Dale was given serial No. 101275 and his broth er. Dell, serial number 101281. In the summer of 1918. Dale and Dell wc in action. Each was wounded at the same place and date as was his twin brother. On May 17 both Dale and Dell were dis charged, apparently in good physical 'condition. Dell Gets Compensation. Shortlv after his discharge Dell applied for compensation, filing with his claim affidavits showing: that he was suffering from disabilities caus ed by gas receved in action. He was given compensation. He also re ceived the benefits of vocational ed ucation and, came to Lincoln to learn the watchmakers' trade. ' It was not until March, 1920. that Dale began to feel the affects, of the gas he encountered in France. He was in Aberdeen, Wash., at the time, and applied for compensation. Tn reply he received a letter fro.ni the bureau of war risk insurance stating that he was receiving aid from the government, and that it was useless for him to try to receive double compensation. He argued with them by correspondence, stat ing that he was not receiving com pensation. They replied further, stating that his check , was being mailed from Washington every month, and that so far as they were concerneed the case was ended. Dale was not to be stopped in this . fashion. He went to the Red Cross and they wrote long letters to Wash ing and then he went to the Amer ican Legion and they wrote in an ef fort to secure an award for Aim yithout avail v At Work on Case. ' The ase recently wag placed in the hands of Grover C. Davis, Ne braska representative for the bureau of war ri.: insurance. Having been in France himself, Davis had a lot of sympathy for Dale and listened ' to his story in detail. Tt dawned upon him that Dale and Dell Trail or' official records in Washington ) were being filed together because of the similiarity in names and serial numbers, and likeness in ages, date of enlistment, date wounded in ac tion, company and regiment and date of discharge. Davis is satisfied that the whole affajr will be ironed out satisfactory to the twins, who are 21 yean , of age now. As soonSs his claims are recognized, Dale will enter school here and again will have the same status as Jus brother, Dell.

"This man was a man who could hardly afford to stand the expense, and I believe he should be given at least his expenses. "The constitution sets out that the tional money to a state officer over and above his salary, consequently, in order to receive his expenses, he nlust receive it as the constitution provides from the governor's pay.
