THE GLORY THAT WAS GREASE.
By James ]. Montague.

When visitors in Athens
A wear or two ago,
Asked passers by the reason WHY
The people shouted so,
And why the flags were waving
And why the bugles brayed.
And everywhere a gladsome air
Was fulsomely displayed,
The Greeks would grin and answer,
"Our shouts and plaudits ring
And we are gay because today
We're chasing out the kIngI'
When visitors in Athens
Today ask why the crowd,
In bright array makes holiday
And shouts its cheers aloud,
And holds torch light professions
With everyone In line,
And gets Lit up when brims the cup
With good old Sanian wine,
Some citizens viii answer,
Good news is on the wing,
Come on along and Join the throng,
We're welcoming our Kingw
There was time that Athens
Had craftsmanship to spare,
When Pericles, Demosthenes
And Socrates were there.
We hold with Mr.. Byron
That in that ancient time
OF brains and art, to play part
In Athens was sublime.
But though it still reposes /
Upon the self same spot. "

MEXICALI, Lower Calif.. April 2.- American Consul Boyle said here to- night he had been notified by Cover nor Estaban Cantu, of the Northern District of Lower California that CaliX- to Ruiz and Santiago Huerte had been arrested in the southern district of this territory in connection with the murder of Lieutenants Cecil H.

Money to Be Raised by Tax On Sales of Luxuries
 Over Nation LEADERS OF SENATE FAVOR LEGISLATION Bill to Be Before Congress Before Recess for Party
 Conventions

WASHINGTON, April ?. - Soldier relief legislation with probable provi- sion for a cash bonus, funds for which would be raised by sales luxuries taxes, was approved today by the house ways and means committee by vote of 15 to 6.
 Details of the bill to be recom- mended will be worked out by sub committees to be appointed Monday. Members of the committee hope to ob- tain final action by the house before the contemplated recess for the na- tional political conventions but they expressed doubt when action by the senate could be had at this session
 Senate Will Act
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader after a conference today with other senate Republicans as to future legislation in the senate, said he thought this would include a bill to give a money bonus to former service men with provisions for a special tax to raise the necessary funds The program approved by the house committee declares against bond issues. It is understood to have been submitted to Representative Longworth, Republican. Ohio, and was discussed at great length in ex- ecutige session.
 May be Alternative
 While the exact form of the leSisla- ton was not decided upon committee discussion was said to have indicated approval of a plan of extending vo- cational education as an alternative to the cash bonus These two plans are part of the American Legion's program. It's other selected plan of government aid to soldiers and sail ors for building homes or obtaining ownership of farms were said by some members of the committee to involve too many difficulties to be worked out by legislation before the recess.
 Spokesmen for the committee said it was planned to have the final draft on the legislation ready for submis- sion to the house within a fortnight It was said that there had been no decision as to whether the bonus would be paid in lump sum or be graduated according to the length of service of each individual.
 The program is understood to have the approval of the Republican lead CTS of the house. assuring early con sideration for it.
