after the armistice was signed. II
the bill Is passed. the first three OPP

any soldier wishing to take ad-

LEGION FAvORS
PLAN FOR ARMY
MEMS BENEFIT
Davenport Post Commander Ex.
plains Four Options to Members
Of Rock Island Post.

At the regular monthly meeting
Of Rock Island post Of the Ameri-
can legion held at the new legion
quarters located In the Armory
hall last evening. several import
ant issues were brought before the
post.
The most important issue dis
cussed was the bonus to ex-ser-
vice men which is before congress
at this time. Major Harry Evans,
commander Of the Davenport post,
and a member of the national ex-
ecutjye committee, who recently
returned from Washington where
they took the matter up with Off
cials, was a guest at the meeting
last evening and explained to the
local post just what this bonus
means.
Major Evans explained how the
American legion was very sorry
that they were compelled to ask
for this bonus, which should have
been brought UP without the legion
pushing the matter. At the annu-
al meeting of the legion held. in
Minneapolis last summer, the leg
ion suggested that a bonus Of some
kind be given ex-service men. Then
at a large number Of the state
meetings, the same suggestions
we're adopted. That was more thar
. year ago md nothing was done
to put this before congress.
1t was the hope of the legior
that congress would take the mat
ter up lithout the legion doins
anything further. When the ma
tional executive committee finall,
realized that a bonus would not b'
given unless the legion took up tn,
fight, they made trip to Washing
ton and framed bill which the,
put before congress.
Bill Has Four Options.
The bill as now before the .hous'
contains four options. The frs
option is that t e soldier will re
ceive government land with Ger
tain amount of improvements sucl
as fencing. buildings and SOM
farm implements. The second op
ton provides for long time LOAF
which en- be used to build a HON
either in the country or city TIL
third option provides for vocation
al training, while the fourth optiol
provides for cash bonus not les
