The bonus plan for world war SOL
diers, providing a dollar day for
every day in service and an extra
compensation for time spent over
seas, will be endorsed by the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars at their na-
tional encampment here, probably at
tomorrow's session. L
BACKED BY TIMES,
This is the plan for which The
Washington Times and the other
Hearst newspapers have worked and
fought for for many months. 1t was
presented to the encampment by Ed
ward II. Hale, OF Washington. chair
man OF tho national legislative COM
mittee.
This plan was reported favorably
by the House Ways and Means Com
mittee and passed the House of Rep
resentatives at the last session, but
was crowded out of final considera-
ton by a press OF other business in
the Senate.
The Veterans Of Foreign Wars will
join with other military organiza-
tions in pressing individual members
of the House and Senate for decisive

APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE.
Members of tho Veterans Of Foreign
Wars Association this morning ex-
pressed appreciation of the work
which has been done by the Hearst
newspapers in behalf of the bonus.
This mornings business session OF
the veterans, in the auditorium OF
Central High School, resolved itself
into an ovation for Robert Woodside,
of Pittsburgh, chief of staff, as pos
sible successor to F. Warner Carling.
of Kansas City, commander chief,
who has refused a third term.
The demonstration came as some
thing OF a surprise, as Woodside has
been considered only As favorite
son dark horse. Pittsburgh sent 400
veterans to the encampment, and they
have been working for WoodsIde from
the start.
GETS GREAT OVATION.
This mornings session was inter-
rupted frequently by cries OF Wood
side" followed by cheers. When the
chief of staff appeared on the plat
form to give his annual report, he was
unable to proceed for a minute or two
because'of the cheering.

IN connection with the woman's
death, made . daring attempt to
escape from his cell room at the
Tenth precinct police station at
4 o'clock this morning.
That Kuehling did not mako

Jones, who was reporting for
duty, and who discovered that
Kuehling was fully dressed and
was about to crawl through an
opening he had made in the
door of his cell room.
JOKE, SAYS KUEHLING.
"Ifs all a joke" said kueh-
ling, excitedly, when the Officer
seized him and threw him back
in the cellroom. 81 could have

Kuehling, following his ex-

He was not placed in an ordi-

is known as a "witness room"
The room has a barred window
for light and ventilation and
also has a barred opening
through which the inmate may
talk to friends and receive food.
Kuehling was placed in this
room before the coroner's
Jury had brought its verdict
generating him of blame for
the death of Mrs. Kuehling. He
ate a light supper, and at 10

He had removed the wire screen,

In England mothers milk is
cheaper, more plentiful than in
the United States. But II the milk
cost a million dollars quart, it
would pay the English govern
ment to buy a supply Of it and be-
gin now feeding it to her political

Like q great many other towns Con-

petty thieves. but a local specialist
has branched out in new line, that
Of robbing babies.
On Sunday night a brand-new
baby carriage was wheeled away
from the home of J. ]. Ryland. A
few night previous a woman left her
baby carriage standing just outside
the gate. of a home wnere she was
calling and a few minutes later the
baby's bonnet was stolen from the
car. Other reports of thefts Of in
fants' wear, coats, bootees and
blankets have been coming to the
police for weeks and the police are
at their wits end to ferret out the
miscreant.
Police in plain clothes with baby
carriages have tried to entice the
thief to take their "outflt," but the
worthy evidently is wise to the diff
ference between the genuine father
and the pseudo parents.

say.
Meantime. arrangements have been
m ade for direct steamship service
eastward between New YORK ano
Queenstown, and negotiations are In
progress to have the service extenoed
to Cork.
This service is intended to be given
by the United States Mall Steamship

Ireland. In reply, it was stated that
these conditions had not been seri-
Gus enough to cause any call by the
steamship company on the Shipping

Series of Concerts Open
 Gm Warren District Soon

A LITTLE MORE than fiftee, days remain before the opening of the series of concerts sponsored by the Musical Events club of the War, rem district are inaugurated. With the appearance of Josef Lhevinne, the Russian pianist, at the Grand theatre on the evening of November 9th. the sale of season tickets closes and thereafter only tickets for the single concerts will be available The committee in charge urges that those who intend to purchase the season tickets give the matter their immediate attention.
 The sale of season tickets has been brisk and it is probable that the 5O0 now assigned and reserved by indi- yidual subscribers will be taken up within the next few days. To delay in purchasing the tickets now may mean that it will be too late when the matter again comes to the not iee of the music lover.
 It is probable that a number of out of town folk will be present to listen to Lhevinne as reservations have already been made from Tue son and Douglas The Philharmonic course for Douglas does net include pianist.

 nlzed as first aid to q contented
 people and an agent which will by
 making itself indispensable in q short
 space of time be a considerable aid to the cultivation of the highest standard of citizenship. That no nl

 While a series of concerts such as is offered this year carries the wid- est appeal to the music lovers. it cannot be discounted by those who have not considered themselves in this particular .sroup. One cannot learn to appreciate the best things in music unless he hears artists as a means of developing his taste. Many a man is keen lover of good music who does not realize it because he has not availed himself of the opportunity to become acquainted with it.
