New York, Dec. 22.-Soldiers, sail

took part in the World War will he

of the union.
That number has already author
lied the expenditure of approximate
ly $150,000,0OO for relief of veterans
and for buying farms, obtaining
medical relief and securing educa-

posed in a score or more other state

enacted.

Efforts were made in Illinois and
Maryland last year to pass a bonus
bill at the state legislature, but they
failed. A provision for soldiers aid
was defeated by the Missouri cleo
torate at the last election.
Further legislation is necessary in
New York to determine a method of
paying the bonus. Shortly after the
legislature meets at Albany next
month, it is expected that commits
sion will be created to work out a
scheme. Soldiers, sailors, marines
and nurses are to receive $40 for
each month of service. No officer
above rank of captain may partici-
pate in the bonus.
New Jersey created a bonus com
mission to carry out the provisions
of the soldier aid law approved by the
voters. Every man and woman from
New Jersey who volunteered or
who was inducted into service under
the draft laws will receive $40 for
each month Of service, the aggregate
