Is concerned or the attitude of the majority of the Alabama department of the legion or Birmingham Post Nc. 1, the bonus question is closed mat ter. He says that the old argument of putting price on patriotism has been shown to be mere bunk, :hat it's smoke screen has been lifted; its camouflage demolished; Its position occupied and it. itself, sent to the rear as a hopeless casualty. He says the question as to whether adjusted compensation Is both worthy and practicable has not only been settled by the Alabama department of the American Legion and Birmingham Post No. 1, but that it has been con- ceded by Congress.
 The majority report of the Senate finance committee of the sixty-sixth Congress said: "The geenral assump- tion that the enactment of this bill into law will immediately load upon the backs of an already excessively tax-burdened public an immense sum of money is not warranted"
 In this report there was summed up in few words the whole argu- ment for compensation. Like most great principles, it Is simply stated and unanswerably: Leaving. out of the question every vestige of senti- ment. every element of gratitude, and applying only the rigid rules of arith- metic, no one can deny that, by allow ing the man who fought for his country who placed his life in pawn for his country, the in- crease in his compensation provided by this bill. the country still is giv- ing him for his service, with all it's risks and hardships. compensa- tion much below that which the com mon laborer in the United States re- ceived during his absence. Can a grateful country do less than this?"
 Fight Ia On
 The commander of Birmingham Post No l, says the American Legion must realize and recognize the fact the fight is on; that 1t is the Amer can Legion's fight; that 1t must be- carried to a successful conclusion and this can be done only by presenting a solid front.
 The membership campaign begin ming next week in Birmingham is only part of the nationwide drive which the American Legion Is now making in order that It's legislative programme may not fall at the hands of the present Congress of the United States.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

Washington-The four power agree
ment being considered by the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and
France, it was learned from official
American sources, would be an agree
ment for joint consultation on any
matters affecting interests OF those
antions in the Pacific islands and not
an alliance or technical entente.
The agreement is in process OF be-
ing reduced to treaty form, it was
said, and if accepted is to be submit
ted to the senate.
Scraps Tokio-London Pact.
The proposed undertaking is de-
signed to do away with the Anglo
Japanese alliance and proposals have
gone to Japan for remuneration Of that
alliance if the new agreement should
be consummated.
AS now under negotiation the agree.
ment is to be limited to the Pacific
islands. Under the tentative propos'
ais each of the powers would agree to
consult each other before going to
war on any differences that might
arise relating to those islands.
The agreement, American officials
said, would not deal with Notifications
in the Pacific nor with questions re-
lating to the island of zap. Neither
would it deal with any matters AFFECT
ing China, but only those relating to
islands of the Pacific.
Separate Treaty on zap.
The questions at issue between the
United States and Japan relating to
cable facilities and other matters at
fecting the islandof zap are to be
dealt with in a separate treaty which
was said to be near completion.
The proposed four power agreement
to deal with the Pacific islands is said
to- have already been given approval
in principle by British representatives
at the Washington conference. The
substance Of the proposed treaty also
it was said, has been cabled to Toxic
and Paris. The formal responses Of
the British, Japanese and French gov
ernments still remain to be received
however.
