A message to the admiral from the

of the pontiff to honor, with the ad

In the midst of his sermon the bish.

Bishop Russell said:

At this point Bishop Russell re.
minded the congregation of the great
task which Admiral Benson, as chief
Of naval operations. had surmounted.
He had been aware at all hours OF the
day and night, the bishop said, with

accomplishment of having sent 2,000,-

ton of only child and suggestions of
possible encroachment on his territory
had always met with his emphatic
dlsapproval.
One day the family was much re-
joiced by the arrival of baby sister
for Bobby, but the announcement of
the little new arrival seemed to hold
but small interest for him. Decidedly
he was no longer the one and only
child and the new baby seemed to
have usurped HE place as the center
of family interest. Who wouldn't be
Just little resentful? SO, when he
was invited to make the acquaintance
of the little sister, he accepted with
considerable hesitation and querulous-
ly demanded: "Who brought that baby

grandmother replied.

FIGHT IS NOT OVER YET
Plan Is Launched to Strip Bill of All
Training ProViSions-Proposed
Scheme Places Ages at
10 to %.

Washington. = Compulsory military
training was shelyed today in the SEN
ate and, after a plan for voluntary
training Of youths was substituted, a
fight was started to eliminate this and
strip the bill of all training provisions.
The senate voted, 46 to 9, to suhsti.
tute the voluntary for the compulsory
method. Taere was no direct vote on
the compulsory plan. Its defeat WINS
conceded, and TO provide for some
method for training American youths
many advocates of compulsory train
ing supported the amendment Of Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen, incorporating the
voluntary method.
Chairman Wadsworth of the mill
tary committee gave notice that Wig
orous fight would be made to elm
mate the voluntary plan, under which
all youths between Is and 2S years of
age could enlist for four months
training in any year selected by them.
Upon concluding training they would
enter the organized reserve for five
years, and during that period be re-
quired to participate twice in annual
maneuvers lasting two weeks.
In substituting the voluntary for the
compulsory training provisions, % re-
publicans and "a democrats supported
the Frelinghuysen amendment. Seven
republicans and two democrats op-
posed the substitution, the democrats
being Myers and Pittman.
Advocates Of compulsory training
made a spirited final stand. Senator
Chamberlain declared that President
Wilson had advocated the policy but
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, ad-
ministration leader, and Senator Nc
Kellar challenged the statement.
The senate vote eliminates compul.
sorry military training from consid-

the crisis of the strike was past and
that strikers were returning to work

EXCLUDE OFFICERS
FROM THE BONUS
BILL NOW BEING FRAMED WILL
APPLY TO ENLISTED
MEN ONLY,
A DOLLAR FOR EACH DAY
Fund of Approximately a Billion Dol.
lars Would Be Raised BY Sales
Tax-short Term Men Are
Excluded.

Washington.--A tentative soldier
bonus bill calling for the payment Of
81 for each days service to approx
mately 100000 of the 10000 men
who served during the war, the money
to be raised by general sales tax
has been approved by the cash bonus
subcommittee of the House ways and
means committee.
The total expenditure necessary is
estimated at slightly less than $1,000
100000, and present plans call for a
sales tax of one-half Of one per cent,
although the subcommittee is await
ing estimates from the Treasury De.
partment as TO just how much could
be raised in this manner.
Representative Fordney, of Michi-
gan, chairman OF the ways and means
committee, said that he expected to
report the measure, probably with
some notifications, in the House next
week. He said he had received word
that If the House passed the bill with.
in the next two weeks Senator Lodge
OF Massachusetts, Republican leader
in the Senate, would put it through
that body by June 1. However, many
obstacles are yet in the way, and 1t
is possible that final enactment may
be delayed until after the political
conventions in June.
With the purpose of limiting the
bonus only to those men who made
large financial sacrifices during the
war the subcommittee has excluded
from its benefits the following
classes: Men who served less than 60
days and already have received bo-
rus of $50.
All officers.
Regular army men who were in the
service before the declaration of war.
Yeomanettes and men assigned to
Industrial and shipyard work, where
they received remuneration in addi-
ton to the regular army pay.
Men who received compensation
from their employers or private bust
ness interests while in the. service.
Under the subcommittee plan the
service man will have to apply for
the bonus and make out an affidavit
that he does not come within the
above classes.
The average bonus to be paid Is
estimated at $400 as the War Depart
ment has found that the average serv-
ice was 400 days. The Navy Depart
ment has informed the subcommittee
that its share would amount to S175,-
000,0 200, and the cost OF establishing
an organization TO pay was placed at
500, 900.
The bonus would be paid in four
and the tax collected in
the same manner. Small businesses
having total sales of less than $4,000
a year would be exempt from the
sales tax, as would the farmers.
This levy would not be a stamp tax
but all business would simply pay
one-half Of one per cent on their
sales every three months. The new
form of taxation Is the only way in
which the revenue for the bonus could
be raised, the subcommittee has de,
cided Should the measure become law
It's operation will be watched care
'ully, as there is some strong senti-
nent in Congress for having it re-
place the excess profit and some con-
taxes when general re-
Tision of the revenue laws is made
lext year.
