No Cash Bonus For Former
Service Men, Is The Outlook

| put before the people as holding up
the government for a bonus-and
they do not like to be in that att
ltude.
The net result Is hat there Will be
a pretty rough time in getting any
| bonus legislation through congress, or
| even through the House. at this ses-
sion.
II believe that the sentiment will
be to wait until after election ana
get out something sane. sensible ana
non-political.s' said Representative
Bacharach. of New Jersey. who Is a
member of the ways n means COM
mfttee and who was first to suggest
three important phases of proposed
legislation related to h bonus-one'
to give a twenty year endowment IN
urance policy. the premiums to pc
paid by the government and $eSo
in cash to the disabled: two, the
sales tax, which Is now endorsed by
the chamber of commerce of the
United States, and three. h tax on
stock exchange sales as a good way
20 raise sufficient revenue to meet
the costs of q bonus.
With Chairman Fordney of n
committee away from the capital, ana
former House Leader Kitchen. the
ranking Democrat. absent from con-
gerss due to a stroke OF paralysis,
tho committee has been DELAYED In
taking a decisive position. MI. Ford
ney Is very earnest In his laDors
to get a bonus bill passed at this
session.
Representative Kitchen put h
general feeling tersely when he said:
"If the cash bonus is passed North
Carolina will declare a holiday until
the money Is all spent"
The men on the committee who
are most eager to do what is best
for the service men are counseling
legislation that will be effective for
time to come, rather than the i'm
mediate present. The boys now do
not know what they want to do. yet.
They must get a new view of a much
changed industrial life. 1t will help
them rather than inJure them, their
friends in congress feel, to start right
in earning their living and making
a new start in life. to find where they
fit in the new conditions. If they
got money now IL would be spent be-
fore long.
The sentiment Of the House now
seems to be to provide something for
these boys to work towards in the fu-
ture-it will be less strain on the nat
ional treasury and on business-and
the members feel that whatever con-
gress might do now under inflated
1t would not mean half as
much to the boys as 1t will In a few
years.
As an indication of he stand within
the ways and means committee
a cash bonus, 1t is said that
Representative John Garner of Texas,
the Democratic whip, has agreed to
deliver eight votes and the Repuba-
ans have corraled five votes tina can
depended upon to oppose the cash
bonus proposition.

case of Andrew Peterson, of Perth
Amboy, against the Sovereign Camp
of the Woodmen of the World, was
settled in the supreme court yester-
day by the defendant agreeing to pay
the amount of the policy and costs.
This action was the result of the fail
ure of the Sovereign Camp to pay
the insurance of Nels Peterson who
was killed in France. The non-pay-
meat, 1t was found, was due to the
secretary not entering the dues paid
by this party, with the result that
the policy was crossed off the books
by the Sovereign camp.

WASHINGTON, May 14-There Is
| going to be no cash bonus for former
service men. and probably no bonus
legislation at all at this session OF
| congress-. according to a very frank
statement from several of the most
active members OF the ways and
means committee.
Man by man the House member
ship is now being checked UP by the
party whips-Representative Harold
knutson, Republican, and Represen-
tative John Garner, Democrat-so as
to see lust what the result In the
House might be II legislation was
forced to a vote and how the mem
bers feel toward ~postponing action.
They are finding a pretty strong
sentiment against a cash bonus. They.
are finding that the feeling has taken
a decided shift within the last week.
The eastern members especially show
a complete change of front. Fol ex-
ample, the members of h New Jer-
sey delegation were very strong for
a cash bonus, and now one of the
most active men on this delegation
a that they Will probably oppose
n cash bonus-and in this connection
II would be well to remember that
New Jersey has a representative on
the ways and means committee
WHICH Is lTalllllB ~ ~ "a" -
New York delegation has already
held a caucus and voted two and
one-half to one against a cash bonus.
Members on both sides of the
House who have been watching the
sentiment closely, feeling the pulse
of congress as 1t were, are now pre-
pairing to make speeches In opposi-
tion to a cash bonus and some few
against any bonus. The first to come
out in open opposition was Repre-
sentative r.. Walton Moore, Demo-
crat. of Virginia.
1t is not because the members are
losing interest In the young Ameri-
cans who fought to end the world
war, that sentiment has undergone
this change. Congress does intend at
the proper time to do something Tor
all the men who served. But the
members of congress are now pretty
we'll convinced that the soldiers
themselves do not want the casn
bonus. and especially not at this time.
Give 1t all to those who lost a
leg or an arm. promptly answer
the former service men individually
as they are asked by members or
about the bonus. Congress

Pip Wit Pitted
against Soviets
Brain of Great Scholar is Enlisted in
War to Save Russia from Desola-
ton Under Red Regime.

London-Just as imperialism killed
czarism so will imperialism be the
death of the Russian sovietism, is the
prediction made to the Associated
Press correspondent by M. Pip, the
Esthonian foreign minister in London,
in analyzing the consequences of the
bolshevik offensive in Poland.
While foreign minister last year NJ
Pip pitted his wits against the boil
sheviki at Dorpat and he is regarded
as one Of the best authorities in Eu-
rope on Russian political and economic
conditions.
In common with representatives here
of other Russian border state, NJ.
Pip is watching with profound con-
Germ the developments in Poland.
"The bolsheviki are fighting Poland
with the Allies ammunition which they
captured from Denikine and Kol-
chalk" he said. "This is now almost
exhausted and Russia cannot renew
it."
Discussing the possibility of an at
tack by the bolsheviki on Esthonia,
M. Pip said:
eve are ready for them. The Es-
thonian frontier is now closed by our
troops except the gates through which
we are trading with Russia. The So
Wet government must know if it sue
ceeds in obtaing a foothold in Esthon-
ia the Allies would instantly cut off
Russia from the vitality needed sup
plies it is now receiving through US.
We might perish but Soviet Russia
would go down with u.s."
Pip asserted that Russia's economic
condition was rapidly getting worse
because this seasons crop was fail
ure. He said it was not unlikely that
the cities will soon be wholly depopu-
lated.
"The Soviet government dare not
reduce it's enormous army" he con-
cluded. Unemployment is now cri-
teal problem throughout the whole of
Russia and if the men, who as SOL
diers are comparatively we'll cared for
were thrown on their own resources
a revolution would result. The chief
terror which the Soviet rulers have to
face is peace. and rehabilitation"
