Soldier Bonus Bill
Will Be Taken Up
In House To-day
Opponents Concede Defeat,
but Will Make a Bitter
Fight to Delay Action;
Filibuster Is Conducted

WASHINGTON, May 2S-After weeks
of committee hearings, caucuses and
negotiations, the soldier bonus bill
Will be taken up tomorrow by tbs
House. Its opponents were prepared
tonight to make bitter fight to delay
action or prevent its passage, but con-
coded they would be defeated
Representative Murphy, Republican
OF Ohio, to-day conducted a flibuster
against Transaction of any business
until the bonus bill was taken up, but
finally stopped on assurance from
House leaders that the soldier meas
ure would be on the floor tomorrow
MIR. Murphy's announced purpose was
TO force Immediate action on the SOL
der measure, and he took advantage
or every opportunity to-day to try 10
force his way. Even the chaplain's
prayer was delayed for half an hour
BY the flibuster.
Chairman Campbell, of the Rules
Committee, announced he would open
to-morow's session by presenting a
resolution, suspending all House rules
for the next six days. He said he
expected the soldier measure to be
ot1Aieu uD do SOOH as MS resolution was
adopted. Some opposition to his reso-
luton is anticipated, but is expected to
result only in some delay.
The suspension program will require
twothirds vote to pass the bonus
bill, but Mr.. Campbell said enough
Democrats would join with the major
ity Republicans to pass the bill after
brief discussion.
Debate on the relief measure dur
ing the past few days has centered
around the supposed Democratic oppo-
Sltlon' Republicans charging repeated
ly that such opposition exists and
Democrats emphatically denying that
they plan to vote aga INST the measure
when it comes UP before the House.

Craig Says Board
Holds School Sites
Valued at Million
Comptroller Asserts Unused
Property Should Be
Turned Back to Sinking
Fund Commission for Sale

There were no noteworthy verbal
combats between Comptroller Charles
L. Craig and other members of the
Board Of Estimate yesterday. The
weekly meeting was unusually quiet
The Comptroller presented a report
relative to sites for elementary schools.
The report said the Board Of Educa-
ton is holding unused school sites ex-
ceeding $lO0O,OO0 in value which
should be turned back to the Sinking
Fund Commission for other purposes
or sale.
The report stated that the Board Of
Education, IN its revised building pro-
gram submitted in March Of this year,
planned TO use all of the $15,000,000
appropriated by the Board Of Estimate
for elementary schools, for nigh
schools, school for the deaf and a
training school.
The practical result of the adoption
Of this program" said the Comptroller,
would have been to arrest the con-
structIon of new elementary schools
end to leave unused their sites, some
OF which were acquired many years
ago"
The board laid over all the recon-
mendations for Manhattan, but Tor
brooklyn passed resolutions to condemn
the following sites for schools; Nine
teenth Avenue and Seventy
Street, Twelfth Avenue and SiXty-Gfth
Street, Newport Avenue and Watkins
Street and Newport and Stone avenues.
The sites for new schools in the
Boroughs of Queens, the Bronx and
Richmond are already owned by the
city, with one or two exceptions, and
no objections were made.
In presenting his budget for the ex-
penses Of his department for the last
half of 1920, Transit Construction Com
missioner Delaney advised the members
Of the Board of Estimate that he had
effected reduction of$13, 1913 as com
pared with the first six months Of the
year. He requested an appropriation Ct
$i,l05,662 for the last half of the year,
as against $1,118,8S5 for the first half.

Chatterer.

in bushes or low branching trees to cut
tender shoots and twigs. But he doesn't
DO great deal of this sort Of thing.
His home Is on the ground and there
he prefers to stay. He is most active
at night, but where undisturbed, is out
and about more or less during the day.

Davis Says U. S.
E'avors Just Rule
For W orld Conduct
Envoy TO England Asserts
Americans Want to See
Precepts Of Law ofNaiions
Reduced TO Definite Form

PORTSMOUTH, England. May 28.-
John W. Davis, the American Ambassa-
dor, acted as chairman at the second
days session here of the twenty-ninth
conference Of the international Law
Association. In his address he said
that differences in the United States
over the form and contents of the league
of nations covenant should not be taken
IS "unWlllingness on their part TO Join
the free peoples OF the world in estab-
fishing just rules for international con-
duet, founded on reason and sanctioned
by the common approval OF mankind"
Earlier in his address Ambassador
Davis said that Americans, above all
things, wanted to see the precepts of
the law Of nations reduced to definite
and binding form"
"Curiously enough" declared the
ambassador, the advance of interna-
tional law has been obstructed by two
schools of thought which in all other
respects are as distant as the poles.
The first school is that of the ex-
treme nationalists. Its adherents per-
sist in regarding the individual state,
large or small, as the ultimate reser.
voir of all authority, and they denounce
any limitation upon its action as a
loss of sovereignty which all patriots
much resent. But the difference is one
Of degree, rather than kind, between
such extremists and those who deny
the possible existence of any binding
force of international law. In last
analysis they are international an
archlsts who adhere to the fallacy that
freedom for men or nations can long
endure without self-deniol on the one
hand and safeguards on the other
NO less destructive is the attitude
of the extreme int.rnationalist. who
quite commonly can see the virtue Of
every nation but his own. Lost in a
cloudland of vague altruism it pains
him to bring his thoughts to the test
OF an exact definition. He insists upon
what he is pleased to call the humani-
tarl-n as distinct from the legalstic
point Of VleW-all who enlist under the
torneer emblem being sincere lovers Of
their country, while the latter are cold
grammarians who would deliver the
world over to do the remorseless rule
of rigid formulists.
Just where the dividing line between
the humanitarian as distinct from the
legal doctrines is to be drawn no
thinker Of this school Will take the
trouble to point out.
But whether the road be long or
short the day must and will come when
the nations of the world Will submit
themselves TO definite rules of conduct
whose violation will receive the united
condemnation Of mankind"
Mr.. Davis challenged the theory that
as modern war was a fight between
and among nations rather than armies
all nationals Of bellgerents were fair
pre-. He denounced it as q return to
"pGNeval savagery"
