WHAT THEY DO WITH BONUS
Seventy Per Cent of Minneapolis Men Increase or Open New Saw
 Ings Accounts.

What dc eX-service men do with their bonus money received from the various states?
 Some persons opposed to handing out cash to the men either by the states or nation, give as their greatest argument that the heneficiarles will squander the money foolishly as soon as they get it.
 But the experience of the Wells Dickey Trust company of Minneapolis which firm has been instrumental in advancing S2,265,O00 to ex-service men through special arrangement with the bonus board, completely overturns this conjecture. Figures just compiled by the cashier of the trust company show that of the 3.924 claims handled by tho bank for Minneapolis men, 70 per cent of the men increased their own accounts and % per cent opened sav- ings accounts at once.

TROOPS JOIN IN REVOLT
Revoiutionists Said To Be in Control of the Railroad Leading Out of Petrosrad-Military Orders
 Are Defied.

Washington.-Work who re gently returned to Russia from the United States are leading the anti- Bolshevik revolt in that country. ad. vices received by the State Depart ment state.
 A summary of the reports from sev. eral sources as issued at the depart ment indicates that the revolutionist& are now in control of the fortress of Kronstadt, the majority of the other forts, the Baltic fleet, the greater part of Petrograd and most of the points of military advantage in the vicinity of the city. Continuing, the summary said:
 "The chief Bolshevik navy com- missar and M Kalinin, chairman ct the AllRussian Central Executive Committee, are held at Kronstadt by the revolutionists as hostages Revo- lutionists also are said to be in con- trol of the railroad leading out of Pe- trograd.
 The strikes by laborers of Petros grad have increased in number and violence, and crowds are reported con- gregating in the streets in defiance of the military orders issued by the soviet regime.
 M. Zinovieff, chairman of the Pe- trograd soviet is reported to have established headquarters in the Peter and Paul fortress and is endeayoring to organize the official soviet troops to regain control of the situation and disperse the revolutionists.
 In other parts of Russia disaffec> tion against the present soviet regime is increasing. Uprisings of peasants and workmen are in progress in many parts of the country, and the Commun~ ist leaders in the cities of Kief and Kharkov are reported to have demand ed aid from the 500,000 troops whose loyalty could not be questioned to de- fend these two cities
 Forces of the Red armies have joined workingmen in Petrograd and Moscow in open revolt against the Bolshevik power, said reports re. ceived recently by the Russian Infor. nation Bureau from sources in direct connection with the movement" Sim liar uprisings are reported in several provincial centers.

An lnquest-and Some Explanations.

An lnquest-and Some ExpIanat ations.
 The inquest party consisted of the coroner, who was the doctor that had already attended Allan; Sergeant Grey. six jurors. selected from the townspeople: the manager of the bank, whose suspicious had first teen com nunicated to Grey; Travers, and Gar diner In the early morning the po- iiceman had ridden out to the ranch for Gardiner, but had met him on his way to town. News of the tragedy had reached him. he said, and he was hurrying in to see if he could be of some assistance to Travers in arrang- ing for lawyer. or in any way that might be practicable. Grey told him that as yet no formal charge had been laid against Travers; that he was merely held pending the finding of the curoner's jury, and suggested that if Gardiner would accompany him to the inquest he might be able, not only to throw some light on Travers' char acter, but also on his whereabouts on the night of the tragedy, To this Gardiner readily agreed
 It was noon when the party reached the Arthurs ranch. They swung into the yard amid cloud of dust, the jingle of trappngs, and the hearty eN- change of greetings between Arthurs and his acquuintances from town. Gardiner was introduced to Arthurs, md shook hands without removing his gamtlets. Then the rancher walked over and shook hands with Travers. There were no signs of handcuffs now, and an outsider would not have known that the young mans position differed from that of the others pres ent.

Then there had been another shot-a revolver shot this time-and every thing was darkness, and he could hear only something struggling at the door. Then he ;old of his own fight of how they had fallen and rolled about on the rotten tioor and how. in deSpera- ti6n. he had not hesitated to use his teeth on the hand of his assailant, who had finally broken away and disap- peared in the darkness. Then he told the rest of his story; of his vigil with Allan. of the loss of the money. of the capture of Travers, and finally of the arrival of the policeman on the scene.
 Didn't II seem to you foolish thing to go into the hills with all that money to meet man you had never seen, and buy a property you had nev- CT eXamined?" asked the coroner.
 Tt wasn't foolishness; it was stark raving madness, as l see 1t now" Har- ris admitted. But l didn't see 1t that way then. Ii looked like lot of easy money. l didn't care what the coal mine was like-I didn't care whether there was coal mine at all or not so long as we made our turn over to the New York people"

PLAN TO FIGHT PROPAGANDA
Language and American History Compulsory in Schools

Henry J. Ryan, who succeeded Ar thur Woods as national director of the Americanism commission of the Amer lean Legion, has announced definite program of Americanism activities which Legion leaders believe will eff fectively combat anti-American propa- ganda at Its sources.
 The plan includes sympathetic re ception to the immigrant and method of providing him with opportunities to school himself in American ideas; i'm proyement of immigration and natural ization laws; measures to stop the cir culation of Bolshevist and I. w. W. propaganda, and providing greater chance for education In citizenship among the adult native born.
 The Legion's campaign will start with the school, which Is characterized by Mir. Ryan as the foundation of char acter building. No greater problem challenges the American people than the school" said Mir. Ryan. ",W eeping changes must be made in our schools or revolution and the destruction of America will be but matter of time The school system of America, as con stituted at present. is incapable of de veloping the type of intelligent citizen ship which is the foundation of a de- mocracy, and without which human lib- erty has no champion. The changes which the American Legion advocates are, first, that English shall be the con trolling language in all schools. and, second, that the study of American his tory and civics shall be made compul- sory to all school pupils. To accom- plish these proposals the Legion will petition congress to formulate reso- lution recommending to state legisla- lures the passage of statutes embody- ing these changes"

ed up the valley to the scene of the tragedy. It was great shock to Har- ris to find that the victim of Allan's gun was his old neighbor, Riles He stood for long time as one dazed by the discovery, but gradually out of the confusion horrible fear took shape in his mind. Allan had shot this man, with whom they had an ap- pointment at this spot; had shot him down, as far as could be shown. with out excuse or provocation, before he had so much as entered the door. The body proved to be unarmed. and from its position had evidently fallen into the building after receiving the fatal charge.
 Harris evidence was first received. He found 1t difficult to give his story commercially, but item by item he told of his acquaintance with Rifles in the eastern province; of their decision to come west and take up more land of the chance by which they had fallen in with Gardiner, and the prospect he had laid before them of more protita- ble returns from another form of in vestment; of how his hesitation had finally been overcome by the asSur- ance that all he need do was have his money ready-he was to be under no obligation to go any further in the transaction unless entirely satisfied ; of the offer wired by the New York capitalists; of the sale of his farm for disappointing sum, and their journey with the money to the old shanty up the valley, where they were to be met by Riles and Gardiner. and also, as they expected, by the owner of the mine, with whom they would open direct negotiations, producing the money as proof of their desire and ability to carry out their undertaking {; of how they hoped the owner would be induced to accept n deposit and ac- company them back to town, where an option would be secured from him for period sufficient to enable them to
