The Fourth OF July celebration which
the veterans Of the Grand Army the
American legion and the various pa
trio,tc Societies OF this city propose Tor
Independence Day this year deserves the
hearty cooperation OF all our cItlzens'
Il Is trite TO say that we have sadly
neglected the proper observance OF our
patriotic days. The Fourth OF July ana
Decoration Day. in particular. nave 4
signihcance which every person IN the
United States should deeply realize
They are the two days most intimately
associated with our national birth: our
independence and the preservation Of our
union. Their propcr observance means
the teaching OF a great patriotic lesson.
and we nave proof enough that the
teaching OF patriotic lessons Is badly
needed in the United States.
Every year We are receiving a great
army Of new citizens, men and women
coming TO us from lands whose tnsti-
buttons arc different from ours: mon and

can give. It is not strange that many

come TO our shores place little stock BY
.Anericanism and little emphasis upon
patriotic duty. II Is most pleasing to
note that throughout the country there

OLD-TIMER ENDS
 A. OF o. SERVICE

Cobienze, Germany.eThe call of the "Doodlebug"' on the banks of the Rhine is gone. No more will this call, familiar to thousands of Tanks who served in the Army of Occupation, be heard.
 After 15 months of service, on duty day and night, rain or shine, without a furlough or an A. w. O. L., Doodle bug" has passed out of Army life with an honorable discharge.
 For all this service, all the "honors" he received was mention in the G. O.'s of the Army of Occupation. The last one reads:
 "The American central at Army Headquarters will be known as Co blence,' and all reference to this cen tral by the name of 'Doodlebug' will be discontinued"
 That is the brief notice of hissend of service. .r....
 The origin of "Doodlebug" as a code word is traced to the Third Army. It was one of their code words in the field, and when Col. Alvin c. Voris. S. C., was assigned as chief signal of ficer of the new Army he had the ex- change named "Doodlebng."

WAYS AND MEANS
 COMMITTEE VOTES
 FOR TANKS BONUS

The Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives will le- {. port some kind of soldiers bonus b,ll sto Congress at this session, The Stars and Stripes says. .--.....
 It will not carry bond issue.
 It will probably carry luxury tax For sales tax clause to raise the ~noney. # z1t .- >r.. !''
 That much was decided by pract- ically unanimous vote in executive ses- sion of the committee. How long be- fore the committee agrees on, what sort of bill to recommend has not been decided. . ....- ...... ....
 With the appointment of five sub committees to consider various phras- es of all pending soldier relief plans, the Ways and Means Committee has started to work.
 The decision to report out some bonus bill, although the amounts car ried may be considerably smaller than the American Legion or any other sol dier organizations recommended, came after a conference with the Senate leaders. Solid support for such re- lief measure was found in the upper branch of Congress, with the result that the House committee got down to work
 Names of SubcOmmittees.
 With the fourfold plan suggested by the Stars and Stripes and virtually adopted by the American Legion as a guide, the subcommittees, one for land settlements, another for home building aid, third for extension of vocational training, and fourth for insurance and miscellaneous methods of relief will report their views to the full committee.
 The committee is absolutely decided against the issuance of bonds; it has Discarded a proposal to capitalize the merchant fleet and make former ser vice men and women stockholders in the corporation; it has practically de- cided that the funds will be raised through direct taxes, either on luxur- ies or on straight consumption. This matter has been left to the chief sub committee composed of Chairman Fordney, Representatives Green, Iowa, and Longworth, Ohio, Republicans, and Representatives Kitchin, North Carolina, and Henry T. Rainey, Illin- sis, Democrats. ....
 These are the other subcommittees appointed to consider soldier relief measures: 4 Land settlement: Representatives Hawley, Oregon; Mott, New York; Frear, Wisconsin, Republicans; and Hull, Tennessee, and Dickinson, Mis- souri, Democrats. s.
 Home aid: Copley, Illinois; Tilson, Connecticut; Hadley, Washington, Re publicans; and Gardner, Texas, and Oldfield, Arkansas, Democrats.
 Vocational Training: Young, North Dakota; Timberlake, Colorado; Bow CTS, West Virginia, Republicans; and Collier, Mississippi, and Crisp, Geor- gia, Democrats. ,...
