Chicago. March 22-There can be no
further direct bonus. either in cash or
bonds. for Uncle Sans soldiers in the
recent war. Any assistance to be ex-
tended TO 1ex-soldiers and sailors must
not constitute an outright debtor
add permanently to Uncle Sans war
deficit
That is the decision reached this
week at conferences here between re-
publican members OF congress. in
charge OF legislation for the relief of
soldiers. and republican party leaders
In order tosset a republican record
that will still hold the soldier vote,
an effort is to be made to speed up
action on a measure which will pro-
vide government assistance In estab-
fishing soldiers in their own homes
particularly on farms-or in small bust
form of long term loans, repayable in
easy installments.
Stripped of all camouflage the de-
cisien reached was this:
''The republican congress would like
to, but -
The country simply cannot give the
proposed $50 bonus~for each month of
service.
ITO make it of any value to the
man who needs help, he would have
to get it in cash. At least $4,000, ,OO0, 900
would be required. Any campaign at
this time to float $4,000, ,009,000 gov
ernment bond issue would end in fail
ure
THE proposition of a bonus in bonds
is equally impossible. The necessity
is not for assistance that will be helpful
20 or 80 or 10 years from now, when
such bonds became DUE but now,
The soldier would sell his bonds or
pledge them as security for loans, with
the result of an immediate deprecia-
tion in the value of the bonds and a
further initiation of our credits that
would serve to send prices higher and
higher until they collapsed in panic .
Washington, March 22.APayment of
adjusted compensation to former ser
vice men at the rate Of a dollar and
a half a day was proposed to con-
gress tonight by the executive commit
tee of the American Legion as a sub
stitute for the original proposal of a
$50 bond for every month Of service.
Members of the committee said that
representatives of legion posts in Sc
states endorsed the four fold soldier
relief bill, including land settlement,
home aid, vocational training and ad-
justment of compensation, which was
presented to congress several weeks
ago.
Representatives from six states. Ar

Paris, March 22.-Spartican forces
In the Ruhr valley of Germany number
at least 10000 and some estimate them
at 10000, according to the latest ad-
vices received at the foreign office
here, They are well organized, being
composed of old shock troops and vet
erans supplied with artillery, machine
guns and mine throwers and having
batteries of II centimetre field guns,
with plenty of ammunition.
Major Berfeld, a relative of Maxi
milan Hardin, Is commander of these
troops He is also known as the man
who published Prince Lichnowsky' $
report blaming the German govern
ment for starting the world war, and
was also prominent in the Spartacist
ot.oles at the time of the armistice
ana tlso in January 1913.
Ebert government authorities are
concentrating troops and planning TO
surround the Ruhr valley and force
the sspartacists to capitulate. These
men, however, are younger and less
trained than the reds.
The occupation of the Ruhr district
by German troops is in direct violation
of Articles AZ and 43 of the treaty o.
Versailles, it was pointed out at the
foreign office. which added the com
ment that this was the first act COM
mitted by Germany in violation of the
treaty. the other violations being those
of omission. II was indicated that the
French government would take no sep
arate action in the circumstances, act
ing only after consultation with the
allies as TO what measures were nee
essary
Two German officers have been sent
by the Ebert government TO acquaint
the French authorities with the situa
iion in the Ruhr district These Off
GERS are expected to reach Paris this
evening.
The foreign advices regarding the
composition of the red army in the
Ruhr region are that it was recruited
for the most part among the iron
workers and not the miners. The mill
tary organization extend also TO the
civil services, and the postoffice and
the telegraph lines are in control of
the communists
