BONUS LIVE ISSUE
 AMONG U. s. VETS

Prohibition and the treaty of peace may yet be crowded out as national issues in the next presidential cleo tions, judging by the national furore aroused by the division in the Ameri- can Legion over the question of bonus to discharged soldiers, sailors and marines. In Arkansas, the question is at a boiling point, as witnessed last night by the action of the Eberts post at Little Rock in voting down James J. Harrison, state commander, who opposed recommendation by the le- zion to congress for enactment of a bonus bill. The post at Beebe went the Litte Rock men one better, and demanded that MT. Harrison quit his post as state commander. Mr. Harri- son challenged the right of the national council to recommend the bonus bill, an action which he termed a repudia- tion of the stand of the legion at it's national convention.
 Following the approval given Mr. Harrison by the Theodore Campbell post at recent meeting, various posts in the state have bombarded the To- cal men with letters censuring it's ac- tion. An especially strong letter came from the Beebe post to H. L. McAlister, legion commander here. MT. Harrison favors additional com pensation for the discharged, but not payment in a lump sum. His side of the question favors the loan by the government of money to ex-service men on long terms and at low rate of interest. Various dispatches from Washington imply that sixth liberty bond issue would be required to pay the expense created by the bonuses.

ready for submission and adoption by
 the two churches. The first to act
 upon it will be the Methodist Episco-
 pal church general conference, which
 will assemble in quadrennial session in
 May of this year Should it ratify
 the pact, Dr. Reynolds said, it is prob able that the general conference of the
 M. E. church, south, will be called in special session in June or July of this year to act upon it. It will require a thirds vote in each general con- ference to adopt the new constitution. This will not be final, however, as the action of the general conference will have to be ratified by the annual con ferences composing them, a three fourths vote of the latter being re- quired in the case of the southern church and two-thirds vote in the northern. Should favorable votes be ,ast by the general and annual con- ferences, the two branches of the church will be united some time next spring, Dr. Reynolds said.
