FERRIS IN
ATTACK ON
C.O.P.RULE
Criticizes Republican Senate for
Failure to Provide Legislation
Favorable to Discharged
Yanks.

Washington, d. G., August 22-
Failure Of the Republican Congress
to enact any legislation providing
substantial aid for discharged sold
iers was the subject of critism by
Representative Scott Ferris, of Okla
homa, Chairman Of the Democratic
Congressional Committee and rank
ing Democrat member of the House
mmitteo on Public Lands, in a
statement made today.
Mr. Ferris was particularly critical
Of the so-called Mondell bill because,
as it IS now drawn in his opinion,
it will provide aid for only a com.
parativcly small number of service
men, only those willing TO enter into
the colonization scheme the Mondell
measure is intended to foster, aud
thus makes no provision for soldiers
in states where such colonization ISL
not feasible to acquire a home or
farm.
An alternative plan should be in,
cluded in the bill in The opinion Of
minority members of the committee,
so that every soldier who needs or
desi"es Governmental aid in acquir-
ing home may obtain it.
THE American people a the Nov
ember election entrusted the Ropub
lican party with full control of both
branches Of Congress. They have
been in session for three months
They have finally failed to pass any
legislation beneficial to the four mil.
lion discharged soldiers" said Mr..
Ferris, who was chairman Of tho
Public Lands Committee in the last
House.
The House Public Lands Com
mittce has had hearings on the Mon.
dell Bill, and has reported it to the
House. The bill in its present form
is not sufficiently aide in scope to
benefit the major portion Of the sold
iers desiring and deserving relief.
THE bill should contain a provls-
ion that all money appropriated for
homes for soldiers should be equitab-
ly apportioned among states accord
ing to the number of soldiers MAX
ing application and desirous of avail
ing themselves of home under it.
The bill as it now stands does not
do this.
The Moudell bill as it now stands
"A a soldiers colonization bill My
contention is that in states that are
we'll settled, with roads, schoolhousos
churches, towns, rural routes and all
modern facilities, the proposed plan
is not at all feasible, and will be dis
appointing to the administrative Of
ficers as well as those who are to
rrofit under it,
AN alternative plan should Ger
tainly be added to the bill, author
izg the Secretary Of the Interior,
when the soldier plan is not feasible
in any given state, or in a given
section of the country. to make loans
direct to individual former service
men who desire to purchase homes
in communities where they may wish
to locate This. Of course, would add
to the difficulties of administration;
it would widen the scope Of the bill.
but it would make it at all times
perfectly certain that there was some
relief to be offered the soldier WHO
was unwilling to go out to the
sparsey settled states of the west
or the cut-over lands of the south
that he might have within reach
somo relief in the acquircmnt of

Berlin, Aug %. Declaring that
Germany has resorted to massacre in
upper Silesia in order to establish her
power before the plebiscite, Secretary
of War Yorfanti today issued a plea
to the allies to send a commission to
organize the country and preserve
order.
"The Germans are killing peaceful
citizens in upper Silosia, the seere-

that IS were executed at Glenwitz
in one day without a trial"
The impression is that the Germans
are trying to shoot prominent Poles
and thus improve Germany's chances
in the coming plebscite.

COIN TOOK FANCY OF ARABS
Austrian Maria Theresa Dollar Has Long Been the Principal Money

The only coin in general circulation in Abyssinia is the Austrian Maria Theresa dollar, of silver It is also the principal money in Arabia, and he story of it's introduction in those regions and all the neighborhood of the Red sea is quite interesting.
 More than a century ago trading Arabs got hold of some of these dol 'ars and found the effigy of the queen (which they bore on one side, the re- verse showing the Austrian double aagle) so attractive that they sought 10 obtain more of them for sale as jeWelry. Later on they became highly popular as medium of exchange in mercantile transactions in Arabia {, and when at intervals the Turkish government prohibited their importa tion large and profitable business was done in smuggling them through Alden and other seaports.
 They are all dated 17SO, being even now minted from replicas of the orig nal die, which is of rather crude workmanship. Any change would not De understood by the Arabs and Abyssinians and would render them ess acceptable.
 Bankers and merchants in the Red sea region import the Maria Theresa dollars in bulk from Trieste, selling them at good profit or exchanging :hem for native merchandise. They are somewhat larger than our silver lollars, but weigh less than an ounce md are only a little over four-fifths silver.
