SENATE TO TAKE
EARLY ACTION ON
SOLDIERS BONUS
Time for Theorixing Past. "
Says Psnrose - Predicts
practical Steps Soon.
By .. BART CAMPBELL.
international News Service.

Congress may be expected TO take
real effective action soon on the sew
erai proposals for aiding ex-servics
men, Senator Penrose, chairman OF
the Senate Finance Committee. in
dictated today.
s.Congress cannot do too much for
the ex-service men," senator Penrose
said. "but Congress must md prac-
teal way of providing practical aid.
The time for theorizins is past. The
time for final, definite, practical action
Is arrived"
In appointing sub COMMITTEES TO
determine the most practical legisla-
tive methods of ex-servsce mems aid.
Senator Penroe's purpose is to pave
the way for early action by the Sem
ate on the so-called soldiers bonus
bill"
TACKLE PROBLEMS AT ONCE.
The members of the sub commit
tee. Senators McCumber, of North
Dakota. and Sutherland OF West vir-
vinia, Republicans. and Walsh of
Massachusetts, Democrat, arc ex-
pected to start at once upon the
problems confronting them.
Senator Smoot, a leading Republican
member OF the Senate Finance Com
mittee. said he entertained no doubt
that legislation for ex-service mems
aid would be enacted at the present
extraordinary session OF Congress.
Senator McCumber has made an
exhaustive study of the situation, and
his selection as chairman of the sub
committee IL regarded as forecssting
the end of the long delay over sol
dier's bonus" legislation.
Leaving out OF the equation every
vestige of sentiment" Senator Nc
Cumber said. every element of graf
itude, and applying only the rigid
rule of mathematical calculation we
cannot deny that by allowing the man
who fought for his country, who
placed his life In pawn for his coun-
try. the Increase in his compensation
provided for in the so-caiied sol
diers' bonus bill we are still giving
him for his service. with all its risks
and hardships. compensation much
below that which the common laborer
in the United States received DUR
ing his absence.
THREE OBSTACLES EXIST
McCumber continued. ut might be
asked why we should not bring the
soldiers compensation fully UP to the
average wage of the laborer who re-
mained at home. The answer Is
three-fold: First. the state of the
Treasury--the debts that are staring
US in the face demand extraordinary
caution at this time: second, the
American appreciation OF heroic serv-
ice will not die with this Congress.
nor with the ensuing scores of years
though often forced 10 delay, the
American people have never failed
ultimately to do justice TO the men
who fought their battles: third. the
world war veterans are satisfied with
our efforts at this time to eaualize
compensation for them and to ar
range Legislation for their aid which
will be lartins. practical and effec-
tive" Nfiff

naming In the championships from the
original entry list of 10S. And of these
twenty eight, seven are Philadelphians.
Big Bill Tilden, of course. is the top
notcher of the local contestants. The
other Philadelphia luminaries who are
still in the thick of the fight are Wal
lace f. Jobnson, Craig Biddle, Carl
Fischer, Ted Edwards, Watson Il.
Knight and Stanley Pearson. In addi-
was formerly Philadelphian, is among
those in activity.
Two big thrillers head today's card.
Inc first Is between Little Big Johnston
and Vince Richards. This match goes
on at 2 7. NJ. and of course will occupy
one of the championship courts. The
other is between Tilden and Zenzo
Shimidzu, the japanese who gave our
VIII such a terrific battle in the recent
Dnvis Cup tourney. The Tilden-
Shimidzu argument starts at 4 o'clock.
The little Nippon and Tilden have
faced each other twice before and on
each occasion the worlds champion had
to go five sets before he could claim the
victory. The first meeting was at Win.
bledon, England, In the British cham
pionships. The second was at Forest
Hills In the Davis Cup and it was in
closer to triumph. Twice at the West
Side Tennis Club Shimidzu was within
two points of beating Tilden in straight
sets. 1t was only by masterful show
OF coolness. reserve energy and tennis
ability, that our Will was able to pull
through.
It is scarcely likely, however, that
Tilden will have to go five sets to defeat
Shimidzu today. The champion is play
ing the best tennis Of his career and he
is very apt to go after his wee rival
from the very beginning. Tennis folk
are. inclined to believe that Tilden
underestimated the ability of the Jap in
the. Davis Cup match.
A surprise Is very likely to occur In
the Johnston Richards engagement. The
Westerner has trimmed the youthful
New Yorker before this season, but un-
fortunately is not In the best of condi-
ton right now. Shortly after the Davis
Cup tourney Johnston was stricken with
ptomaine poisoning and has not entirely
recovered. However, the two day lay
on may hNEe done the former champion
lots of good.
Richards i'm Shape
Johnston will have to be Mt his best
to defeat Richards for the Junior title
holder is right at the top Of his game.
A change has been made in the sched-
ule. for the matches not played in the
fnclosure. Instead Of starting at two
or four o'clock the sidelincrs will begin
at three p. NJ. Among this batch of
contests, are engagements between
Howard Voshell and Norris Williams,
Bill Clothier and Gerald Emerson,
Stanley Pearson and Ted Banks, Ted
Edwards and Wallace johnson and Carl
Fischer and Francis Hunter.
The Veterans championship with
twenty entries will start this afternoon
with matches at four and five o'clock.
The matches will bring together stars
of other days. who. though they have
lost their speed, still retain their skill.
DR.. ?. B. Hawk, of Cynwyd, is the
favorite for the title.

China. Mr.. Root is c'osc friend Of
Mr.. WI, who was minister here when
Mr.. Root was Secretary of State. The
South China Government recently
sought Mr.. Roots services in connec-
tion with the coming conference and
only abandoned negotiations with him
when he took his place in the American
delegation. 1t is thought that Mr.. Root
will favor giving some consideration
to the South Chinese organization.
May Include All
Moreover, the recent statement of
DR.. Paul Reinsch, formerly American
Minister to China, and now spokesman
in Washington of the Pekin Govern
ment, Is especially tolerant of these
rival governments and indicates a pos
sibility that all will be considered to-
gether with the Pekin Government when
to what is China.
Mr.. Reinsch declared that the Cen
tral Government of China had little
authority and that the real Government
of China was being slowly evolved in
the movements of the provinces. He
described the Pekin Government as a
roof about which new walls were being
raised. The roof itself would have to
be reconstructed when the walls were
erected. DR.. Reinsch described the
Southern Government as no government
at all, but an opposition party of great
ability.
Certainly these were no extravagant
claims to make for the Pekin Gov
ernmcnt. They indicate that the con
ference will have to decide what Is
China before it takes any action which
may be held to be binding upon her.
Is China the Pekin Government? Is it
the Pekin Government plus the South
ern Government, IL they can be per-
suadcd to agree? Or is it the provincial
Governments grouping in the Hankow
movement to which General Y. NJ.
Chen, described AZ the most important
man in China, is supposed to be tend

under the scrutiny and control Of the

to keep alive medieval heritages of bigo-

''No organization, feeding as this one

The Ku Klux Klan is un- n-American in
