 Some of the points forcing them to this conclusion follow:

 At the same time ,here is no ques- ton in the mind of Congress but that the soldiers desirous of bonus legis- Iation. have a case. In the first place, the majority party in Congress volun- tarily promised to give bonus. Tn the second place. the soldiers have asked that Congress be as good to them. who risked their all. as they were to the clerks VITO. while render ing valuable service. were not in dan ger of any kind. and who were voted bonus.
 And the soldiers are able to state thar they who did the fighting are the only Americans who did not shars in the benefits. They point to the fact that government clerks were re- warded by bonus legislation, that American business men. through war opportunities. became millionaires in night. and that American labor was rewarded in the form of higher wages than were ever before paid in any country of the world

DOLLS NOT ALLOW ED
 IN SENATE GALLERIES

Washington, May 9.-(SpeciaL) Ut develops that an antiauated but never
 theless very effective rule of the Sem
 ate prevents anyone carrying into the galleries a doll.
 Some days ago. L. Paletz, a mer
 chant of Linden. Ala. came to Wash ington with Mrs. Paletz and their two
 daughters. Each of the little girls bore a doll in her aSms. MrA Paletz, years ago, walked from house to house
 disposing of goods from a pack which
 he carried on his back. As result Of
 hard work and proper living, he ac- quired @ fortune. Now he is seeing mething of the world. He came to Washington. Represent ,, alive McDuffie of hls district essayed 10 show the capitol and all which therein is. In course of the tour, he led his visitors to the Senate galleries. and in the galleries sat them down. The two little girls still clung to their. dolls.
 Very soon the custodian of the gall leries called Mr. McGuffie from the boxes He was very sorry. he was full of humility. and most apologetic thGt he was compelled to do his duty. For he had been charged to see that tho rules of the Senate were observed. He had read these ruies. had studied them. and had mastered them. He re- called very VlVldlY that Tn one or tEefH any visitor was forbidden to enter the galleries if he or she had doll. And at that moment. two little girls, with
 dolls in their arms. sat in the gall leries
 There was nothing for MT McDuffie to do but aid in thu observance of the rules. So he borrowed the two doiis. and escorted tnem very hand somely out of the galleries. On the outside. he gave them over to door keeper, and charged him with their protection. For an hour. thereafter, the very faithful doorkeeper sat inn
 movable with one doll baby on each ot his knees.
 Of course questions were asked and tho story leaked. There are other methods employed by the Senate to ,, force the galleries to center attention on the Senate.

deruded of compulsory military train ing features. passed week in idle ness. The point at issue is based on the passionate contentious of the House that department should be con- soldated. whereas the Senate holds that departments should be continued as independent for the best dispatch of business.
 The Senate concluded the week by discussion of the Shoot bill provid- ine that Europe shall not dump its products on the United States to the des truction of industries which de- veloped in the United States incident to war necessities
 The week in Congress was featured by an agreement on a bill of long standing and great controversy pro viding for the retirement from the service on part pay of government employees of 70~years of age.

 800 Davidson suiidins Washington. May 9-(Speciai)- The outstanding feature of congress sienal activity the past week was the infection into the Senate of a resolu- ton declaring a status of peace be- tween the United States. on the one hand, and Germany and Austria on the other.
 The Senate resolution amends the House resolution. which passed the House, by adding Austria. Last Wednesday Senator Kpox spoke in Le- half of the resolution. it being his contention that Consress can declare state of peace by repealing an act declaring WAT.
 This week Senators Underwood and Hitchcock will attempt to answer the Knox argument.
 Of nationwide interest was the of ficial announcement of the ways and means committee of the House Fri day that it would be impossible to en- act bonus legislation for the soldiers prior to the holding CT the republican and democratic conventions.
 The conferees on the part of tho House and Senate. during the week, reported an agreement on water power legislation which had been contro-
 
 10 years. Under the bill. an inter- departmental bureau is created to pass on proposed projects. and the board has authority to grant licenses for the development of projects for period of 50 years. Rates are put in the hands of the public utility com missions of the several states
 Conferees on the part of the House and Senate respecting the agricultu- rai appropriation bill deferred action on the amendment of Senator Conner of Alabama under which cotton ex- cha nges would be required to deliver any lot of cotton purchased. one-half in the grades as good as middling. The corferees will ask tho House for in- structions on this amendment this week. it is indicated.
 The senate commerce committee an- nounced a substitute for the House bill creating a merchant marine. Under the bill coastwise shipping must be American owned ano 75 per cent of the stock engaged in foreign trade must be held by American citizens. The President is instructed to secure an abandonment of any treaty re- strictions against the imposition of discriminatory rates in the interest of the United States. Tine shipping board Is instructed to sell government owned merchant ships as soon as practicable, the House provision having been "as soon as possible"
 The rivers and harbors bill, having passed both houses. still reposes on the speakers desk. The Senate in- creased the meagre House appropria- : tion so as to make the total S2S,000, 900. This offended Representative Mondell, republican leader and he declines to ask for the appointment of conferees.
