U. S. MAY TAKE PART
 IN RUSSIAN INQUIRY

Washington. March 5.-While no formal invitation has been sent. in formal suggestions have been made bv the supreme council at London that the United States have representation on the commission which is to investi- : gate conditions in Russia. The coun- ell IS understood to appreciate that the subject must be approached with deli cacy owing to the conditions sur rounding the consideration of the Ger man peace treaty in the senate, but has felt some apprehension that faiI- ure to extend America an opportunity to participate in the work of the com mission might be resented in the Unietd States. Consequently officials regard it as probable that the council VIII extend the invitation if only for the purpose of justifying it in proceed : ing to deal with the Russian problem alone in the event of refusal of the United States to participate.

 Harry Weinburger, counsel for Bergdoll, immediately announced he would carry the case to the United States supreme court and demand for his client the right of a civil trial by jury.
 Judge Hand in his decision de- clared that the machinery of the draft law as it had been applied to Bergdon appeared valid and that ! nothing had been presented to inn | peach the draft regulations.

CONFLICTING VIEWS ON
 RELIEF FOR X-SOLDIERS

Washington, March 5.-Efforts of the house ways and means committee to formulate a soldier relief program were again complicated today by con flictng views of witnesses and injec- tion of the rivalries between various former soldier organizations into the hearing.
 The committee devoted much time to listening to a controversy between $. Loyenbein, chairman of the rank mad file association, and Marvin Gates Sperry, national president of the private soldiers and sailors legion.
 Lovenbein's suggestion was that every man who had served be paid Sl a day with a minimum of $1Se and that of Sperry was that flat bonus of $500 be granted.
 Ninety per cent. of the former ser vice men favor some plan of financial relief, Richard Seelye Jones, of Washington, D. C., editor of a service newspaper told the committee. He in- sisted that more than 60 per cent. ot those in the military and naval ser | vices were unorganiZed. It was diff cult, he said, to test the pulse of the dicharged veterans through spokes- | men of organizations" Posts of the American Legion and other organiza tions in the middle west, he said, favor the proposed land bills, adding thai | former soliers would be the last citi zens to precipitate a financial panic ! if that might be the result of granting 8 bonus.
 'The feeling among ex-soldiers, Jones added, 'is that they should bt given at least an even break witt those who worked in shipyards or mu. milton plants"
 Sperry's advocacy of the granting of nat bonus of $500 to every ont who had served was accompanied b! sharp criticism of the suggestion O Levenbein, which herefrred to as "s skimping dollar a day"
