froze on the sidewalks as it fell. MAX
ing them very slippery. 1t also froze
on the street paving, and navigation
was difficult for both pedestrians and
motorists.

Governors and Mayors In Washington
Conference Asked to Find Out
What Their Problems

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.J
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Govern
ors and mayors attending the white
house conference today were told
they had s'better go back home and
find what their problems were" by
George l.. Baker, Oregon.
Baker did not mince words He de
CARED that with the exception of Gov.
ernor Cox, Ohio, apparently none OF
the members of the conference real
lied they were confronted with a real
menace and that their states and cit
les were vitality concerned.
Baker declared that none of the
speakers had the "old nerve" to say
what they felt. He charged that can
insidious underground propaganda

admitted It was Secretary of Labor

Mail deliveries now average three to
five times as long as formerly, he as
serted.
Governor Cox, Ohio, advocated as
one aid to stimulating resumption of
work sweeping reduction in freight
rates on road materials
Cox said the freight rates reduc-
ton might be extended to all classes
of building material.
This plan, Cox argued, naturally
would result in losses to the rail-
roads, but the government has the
railroads and is going to stand loss
any way. He pointed out that it was
not more unreasonable for the gov
eminent to take q loss In this form
than pay the losses occasioned by
the wheat price law.

NATION LEAGUE
CONSTITUTION
American Opposition Does Not Create
Much Of an Impression Among
Peace Conference
Delegates.
by Fred s. Ferguson, United Press
Staff CORRESPONDENT.

PARIS. March 4.-The league OF
nations, according to the opinion in
official circles here today, will start
lfunctioning soon after the general
peace settlement is effected, certainly
not later than early fall.
The great majority OF the peace
delegates apparently are agreed that
the present covenant represents the
composite world view. as nearly as
possible and that it will be adopted
practically as 1t stands. While there
is still Intense interest in the attitude
of Washington, attacks on the league
constitut ion-such as those of Sen
ator Lodge and Senator Knox-have
not created the impression that was
expected among the foreign COME ees
The latter feel the American oppo-
sition has touched only on plans that
were thoroughly threshed out and
agreed to in discussions by the league
committee.
While the basic principles OF the
league are expected to remain as out
lined at present, there seems to be no
doubt that many of the details will I'M
dergo some changes when the con-
stitution comes up for open debate
before the general peace conference.
Numrous suggestions have already
been received from neutral countries
and others will be asked to offer
ideas.
Discussion OF military. naval and
air terms of the preliminary peace
with Germany was not complete yes
terday and will be taken up again
Thursday by the supreme war council.
1T was reported that the aerial pro-
visions, as recommended by allied
military officials, contemplate reduc-
ton of Germany's abr force to few
hydroaeroplanes, which would be
used in searching for mines still
floating in northern waters.
In the face of reports OF increasing
ly serious conditions in Germany,
plans for partial reduction of the
economic blockade are being held up
by the French continuing to refuse
permission for Germany to pay for
food with money and securities that
otherwise might be available for rep
aration. Members of the food admin
istration and the economic council
hone to straigliten out the situation
and carry out the original program
for easing the blockade.

Every Man Who Served in the Army
Has Sixty Dollars Coming to
Him for the Askins BY
Mail at Once.
D1cKEY IS FIRST ONE
Method Is Easy, and the Payments
Will Be Made In the Order Of
Application to the Proper
officer.

Every keokuk and Lee county sol
der who has been discharged has
$50 coming to him for the asking.
City Attorney Clarence H. Dickey
has asked for his sixty bucks and
will be, the first Keokuk soldier to
get his money.
The others will receive 1t in the
order in which they ask for 1t Of the
proper officer at Washington.
Each soldier who has been dis
charged should write letter ad-
dressed to Zone Finance Officer.
Lemon Building. Washington, D. c.,
stating his service in the army, COM
pany, regiment, or other unit, and
rank, and enclose with 1t his dis
charge certificate. He will. in due
time get the discharge back and with
1t check for $50 bonus from Uncle
Sam. It is well to register the let
ter, to safeguard the discharge GER
tif1cate.
Precision and Simplicity.
That is all there is to it, simple as
1t is, but every detail set out above
must be complied with with mill
tary precision. 1t all comes out OF
the following announcement:
Section 1406 Of the revenue act. ap-
proved Feb. "a, 1919, authorizes the
payment of bonus of $50 to officers,
soldiers. field clerks, and nurses of
the army upon honorable separation
from active service by discharge,
resignation, or otherwise. This bonus
is not payable to the heirs or rep
resentatives of any deceased soldier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which they
are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $50 bonus should write a
letter to the zone finance officer,
Lemon building, Washington, d. c.,
stating their service since April 6,
1917, the date OF last discharge, and
their present address to which they
desire their bonus checks to be sent,
and inclosing with this letter their
discharge certificate or military order
for discharge, or both, If both were
issued.
viii Return Discharges.
Upon the receipt by the zone fin
ance Office, Washington, D. c., of this
information and the soldiers = dis
charge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mailed
to the claimants in the order in
which their claims were received by
him. phe discharge certificate will
be returned to the soldier with the
check.
1t is estimated that at least one
million and quarter persons have
been discharged from the serviceswho
are entitled to the benefits of this
act, and, while payments will be
made as expeditiously as practicable,
it will manifestly take considerable
time to write and mail this many
checks.
