BRITISH PAPERS
PRAISE TREATY
BEST NEWS WORLD HAS HEARD
IN MANY YEARS." ONE EDI-
TOR SAYS-ALL SEEMED
AGREED.

London, Dec. Rehabilitation of
the four-power treaty relative to in
sular possessions in the Pacific is
believed to be assured when the con-
vention is submitted to the United
States senate in the view of news
papers here. Many journals greeted
the terms of the treaty with enthusi-
asm and based their forecast of rati-
fications upon the fact that Senator
Lodge presented the draft at the
Washington conference.
THE apparently impossible is, in
effect, an accomplished fact" said
the Telegraph. "Our alliance with
Japan has passed out of existence
upon the only terms which Japan
could regard as satisfactory, and
which we could feel to be honorable.
BY this achievement
alone, President Harding's admins
tration has fully justified the bold
and magnanimous stroke of states
manship by which it amazed the
world few months ago."
In the opinion of the Westminster
Gazette, the one weakness of the
treaty lies in the fact that it does not
guarantee the INTEGRITY of China.
I'VE have emerged from night
mare of misunderstangs about Sc
cret motives and Mr.. Harding has
earned the good will of the world by
his initiative" said the Gazette.
Under the caption, "The Real
Thing At Last" the Morning Posi-
expressed hope that optimism regard

senate on the treaty was well found

Reports that a world economical

BONUS GIVEN To
MORE THAN5OOO
FRED RAY DOESN'T BELIEVE To-
tai OF 10000 WILL BE
REACHED BY CHRISTMAS.

Yankton, Dec. 13.-More than 5,
900 claims had been paid at the end
of last week by the soldiers bonus
board at Pierre, it was estimated by
Fred b. Ray, executive officer, who
returned home to remain for a few
days attending to private business
matters, and the pay department is
keeping a steady stream of checks
going to all sections of the state.
The work is going with entire salts
faction, Ray said, although the pay
department has found it impossible
to maintain its record of 500 claims
day, principally owing to the nee
essity of establishing, changes of ad-
dress since the applications were
made out These are numerous, many
claimants having moved from the
original address given, and it is nee
essary to re-check the claim to make
sure the check goes to the proper
place. The pay department is get
ting out around 800 checks day
now but hopes to work up to a rate
of about 400.
During the holiday rush at the
Pierre postoffice in the next two
weeks the rate of claims mailed out
will probably be held down some
what and Ray believes the board will
be unable to make the 10000 marx
set before Christmas, but they are
working on their sixth thousand now
and still have two weeks to go. After
the holidays the daily rate will be
boosted again. New applications
continue to come averaging around
SO day, some days only eight or
10 and occasionally as many as 200.
They are being filed as rapidly as
they come. A total of about 27,300
have been filed to date.
Special efforts will be centered on
the investigation department this
month also. Ray plans to be in
Pierre again on the 10Th to launch
this end of the work, the idea being
to clean up all delayed claims as
quickly as possible.
Doubtful claims will be classified
under a series of rulings which will
determine their approval or rejec-
tion. No claims have been finally
rejected as yet, Ray said, although
there are some that will get into that
classification unless investigation re-
veals some new facts in the case.
Payment of approved claims will be
continued without Interruption, TAX
ing them in order of final approval.
Practically every village and hamlet
in the state has received one or more
checks to date, Ray believed. Numer-
Gus requests for preference have
been received, but no preference is
being shown. I'VE are working on an
iron-clad rule" he declared.
Many letters have been received
by the board from men who have re-
ceived their checks. The money Is
being put to very good use, these let
ters indicate, and only very small
percentage of the men are spending
it foolishly. Some claimants write
that they are starting savings ac'
counts, others are paying up some
debts. several have said they are us.

Scotland Neck, N. c., April 25, 1921
To the Editor:
The time is drawing near for the
coming municipal election, which
comes off in May. So far I have not
heard very much about who we will
have to run our town for the next two
years. I want to say that I think it
very important that we elect the right
man for our Mayor; a man who can
give the office the necessary time;
man who is not only fit by tempera
ment and ability, but a heightened,
christian gentleman, who is a leader
IN all good works for tie town and
this community. Yes, we need for our
Mayor a man with a plenty of good
commonsense, who can see your side,
my side, and the right side of any
question which may come up.
When we want real man to fill any
! great office in our State, or run our
schools, we want heightened christian
gentleman to fill these places. Now,
why not display the same rule and use
the same good judgment in electing a
man for Mayor Of our town.
