late World War while in Yorkville the
other day, Congressman John j. Nc
Swain of Greelville, said:
Congress is going to have to dc
something in the way of compensa tior
for soldiers who served in the late
World war. There is no doubt about
that and there is no doubt in my mind
but what something is going to be
done and that real soon. Details for
the payment of compensation have OF
course not yet been worked out and In
deed that is where the trouble is now.
There is a demand; from soldiers from
every section of the United States fol
the payment Of a bonus or for com

that demand Is an appeal so strong
that congress is going TO be obliged TO
heed
Sounding Warnings.
