signed article In recent issue Of the
American Legion Weekly. He writes:
1.-THE American Leglon's fight for the
fourfold optional compensation plan
has entered new phase.
1.-THE opposition, defeated in its at
tempt to invoke popular sentiment
against the measure itself, has turned
from the direct to the indirect method
Of attack. The new strategy Is to
strike the bill, through the instrument
of fomented controversy over meth
DDS of money raising.
to divert attention from the bill to
the question of the means by which
the money shall be raised to carry out
it's provisions. If the advocates Of
different revenue-producing schemes
can be played off against one another
over money raising, In which the bill,
occupying the role Of innocent by
stander, shall receive a mortal blow,
this design will have succeeded.
"The fourfold plan has withstood
the closest scrutiny. The economic
soundness OF the land settlement,
home aid and vocational training OPP
lions and the fact that the fourth OPP
ton can be paid automatically to the
dependents of those who died, to all
disabled and to those needing assist
ance, makes the plan the best solution
of the problem of beneficial legislation.
"a majority Of congress favor the
bill. Congress, however. begins Its
summer vacation soon. Unless the
bill is passed before that adjournment,
the chances of its ultimate passage
will be greatly impaired and the fu-
ture of all ex-service beneficial legis-
lation injuriously affected. National
headquarters has pressed the legiOn's
case with all the vigor 1t can COM
mand and has received admirable sup
port from the membership. II Is i'm
perative that these efforts be sus-
tanned. State departments, posts and
individuals throughout the country
should continue to impress upon their
senators and congressman that the bill
should be passed before adjournment
and the question of money raising not
be permitted to obstruct the real is
sue"

improvements In the sum Of $780,
wv, for which bonds running for
term Of 80 years shall be issued, to be
retired annually by sinking fund to
be provided by the general assembly.

Two Masked Bows
Rob Cafe in Bluffs
Line Up Six Men and Two
Women, Take $50 From
Cash Drawer and Escape.

Two masked youths entered the
Howard cafe, 8l9 South Main street,
Council Bluffs, early yesterday
morning, lined up six men and two
women against the wall at the point
of revolvers, robbed the cash draw
er of $3OA and escaped.
The cafe is owned by ]. L. How
ard and the night manager is Mrs.
Anna Hagidan, one of the women
held up. The other woman's name
was not obtained by police. The
six men, all patrons of the cafe,
were Carl H. Fisher, Tom Durrick,
Joe Redden, Frank Cunningham,
Melvin Madigan and Walter Nc.
Campbell.
Both of the bandits were armed
with big revolvers. They did not
attempt to search the persons in the
place for cash or valuables, but took
only the money from the cash draw
er. The robbers were dressed like
tramps, according to the witnesses.
wearing caps and overalls.
Police were notified as soon as
the bandits left the cafe, but could
find no trace of them. They
learned later, however, that two
youths answering the description ate
at an uptown lunch room and
drove away toward Omaha in a
touring car few minutes after the
robbery.

Lively Contest
For Uni Regents
Four Candidates in Race for
Two Offices on Nonparti-
san Ballot.

Regents of the state university are
to be elected by a nonpartisan ballot
Tuesday, as are judges and school
shperintendents, and a spirited con-
test is on with four candidates for
two places.
The candidates are George N.
Seymour of Elgin, Victor G. Lyford
of Falls City, William L. Bates rof
Lodge Pole and E. H. Gerhart of
Newman Grove.
Mr.. Seymour is a successful busi-
ness man and stock-raiser with a
wide acquaintance over the state. He
was a candidate for regent in 1916,
but in that year the regents were
still named by partisan ballot and
the democratic sweep defeated Mr..
Seymour along with other republi-
can candidates.
Mr.. Lyford has been member
of the board of regents for l3
years, his service constituting one OF
the longest continuous terms of any
member of the board. His four
daughters have all been university
attendants.
Mr.. Bates is graduate OF the
university, in the class of 1918. He
was member of the legislature
in 1917.

man Grove, is also former legisla-
tor, serving in 1919 as chairman OF

Reputation Of

"Repudiate Obligation
Article X Would Inn
pose ON U. ST.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. ga de-
mand that Governor Cox frankly
repudiate the obligation which
Article X of the league of nations
would impose upon the United
States" was made in an address here
today before the Columbia club by
Charles Evans Hughes.
The speaker, after detailed an
alysis of the article, declared it
would obligate the United States to
"underwrite the territorial delimita-
tions of the Versailles treaty,
whether good or bad" He said
there was no necessity for Clarity
ing" the article, as proposed by the
democratic presidential candidate.
THE only thing that will reassure
the American people is to eliminate
it," said Mr.. Hughes.
"In case of future conflict" the
speaker continued, whatever may
be our opinion of its merits, and
however removed lit may be from
any interest of ours, we are bound
to go to war if necessary to pre-
serve as against external aggression,
territorial possessions recognized
under the treaty. The objection to
this is that it does sacrifice our in
dependence of judgment. 1t COM
mits us in advance to act ip un-
known contingencies"
The speaker cited the democratic
platform and Governor Cox's con-
ference with President Wilson soon
after his nomination, in an effort to
show that the president and Cover
nor Knox stood together on Arti-
Gle X.
Governor Cox now says, that he
is willing to accept reservations that
will clarity, or will be helpful. that
will reassure the American people"
said Mr.. Hughes. Does the can
didate expect to escape with such
banalities? What will Clarity help,
or 'reassure?'
There is no necessity to clarity
if the obligation is retained, and the
one thing that will help or 'reas-
sure is to eliminate the obligation.
Will Mr.. Cox do that? Not by try
ing to 'reassure' and retaining Ar
ticle X at the same. time, but will he
frankly repudiate the obligation
which this article seeks to ilmpose?"
Mr.. Hughes asserted that America
desires 'ap association of nations"
which would dispose of contro-
versies according to law and not ex-
pediencv."
