, tionary measure. Greek officials and
! detectives suspected some untoward
situation on the journey and were
unwilling that Constantine should
continue on the announced schedule.

Cash Bonus Comes
to Fore in House.
Committee Hearing

Washington Dec. 15-The pay
ment of a cash bonus to former SER
vice men was brought prominently to
the front today at the opening of
hearings by the Senate finance COM
mittee on the House bill to adjust
compensation of the former soldiers
and sailors.
Spokesman for the American Le-
gion estimated that not more than
SO per cent of the men would ask for
a cash payment, but Senator Smoot,
Republican, of Utah. disagreed
sharply with this estimate, declar-
ing that postcards he had received
from individual service men from all
parts Of the country indicated that
90 per cent of the men would ask
for cash. Senator Smoot said the
postcards were furnished by the
STARS and Stripes" for transmission
to senators and labelled my opinion
on the bonus question"
Gilbert Betterman of Ohio. chair
man Of the legion's legislative COM
mittee, suggested that the postcards
probably were propaganda against
the bill. Senator Smoot and Senator
McCumber, Republican. North 'Da-
kota, acting chairman, replied that
the cards, of which Senator Nc
Cumber produced a high stack. ap-
peared to represent actual views of
W arveterans.
Mr.. Betterman said the options of
the bill other than cash-proposed
soldiers certificates" payable in 20
years, vocational training and farm
or home aid-would appeal to a large
percentage of war veterans.
This is Indicated" he said, "by
the fact that about 100000 are try
ing to find out from the department
of the Interior how to get farm
lands"
The witness said the House bill
had practically the unanimous en-
dorsement of all service mems or
PLANTATIONS.
Asked why the bill made a differ
ence between soldiers who served
overseas and those who remained in
this country, Mr.. Betterman said
this had been put in by the House
ways and means committee and that
the only explanation he had heard
was that it followed the Canadian
measure.
He estimated that if all the men
took a cash bonus the sum would
aggregate $500. 100000 He said the
bonus attempted to correct the
basic inequality" in the pay of the
men who were drafted and those
who We're not and who received So

what he termed "a vicious and de-
liberate effort to stir UP trouble be-
tween the people of Japan and the
United States" Ebert H. Gary,
chairman of the board of directors
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, declared in an address here to-

should the two nations clash the
people of this country will be more
to blame than the people of Japan"
Asserting that he liked and trust
ed the honesty and integrity of the
Japanese, Mr.. Gary said:
"They are building navies as a
last resort Of defense against attacks
without reason.
at is the desire of the great
masses and the leaders of Japan for
a most intimate friendship with the
United States. The people who de-
sire to stir up trouble are not honest
or fair. The large majority of our
people will not be influenced by that
character of people,"

Second baseman Del" Pratt and
Out-fielder Sam Wick of the Yankees
go to the Red Sox in exchange for

presidents of the New York and Bos-
ton clubs respectively. They announc-
ed that no money was involved in the
transaction. Manager Higgins of the
Yankees took part in the negotiations
and both sides agreed that the trade
will result in strengthening the two
clubs. 1t was made on the condi-
lions that both clubs assume the re-
|sponsibility of signing the players.
Del Pratt is the only one of the
players about whom there seems to be
doubt. He signed a contract as ath-
letic coach with a western university
at the conclusion of last seasons
games and declared his intention TO
quit baseball. The Yankee manage
ment, however. today, expressed con-
fidence that Pratt would be ready to
get into the game when the 1921 sea-
son opens.
Manager Higgins said the deal was
made primarily for the purpose of Civ
ing each club a player that both badiy
needed.
Boston wanted a second baseman
and got Pratt, while New York needed
an experienced left-hand pitcher and
got Harper.
The trade of pitcher Rube Mar
guard of Brooklyn for pitcher Walter
Ruether of Cinnati, the only other
deal involving players completed dur
ing the week, was announced short
ly after the National League at it's
meeting let it be known that there
was no desire on the part of the
League to further punish Marquard
because of his alleged ticket scalping
during the last world series. Discus
sion of that case and the recommen-
dation that the 1921 season open on
April 10. completed the business of
the National Leagues annual meet
ing.
The annual meeting of the Ameri-
can League will be held Friday. Pres

said, has not been made to Cobb, but
will be when he and President Navin
meet Friday. Friends of Cobb at the
baseball meeting this week declared
that the outfielder was not particular
ly anxious to become a manager for
year or two, but since the resigna-
t on of Hugh Jennings, let it be known
that if President Navin offered him
the job he would accept it.
