Secretary Mellon Says Senate
Compensation Plan Would De-

tion S BiIlions-Liberty Bond De-
flation and Rise in Prices Are
Among Ills F%oreseen.

Washington-With a warning that
there is grave danger of an immediate
government deficit, Secretary Mellon
asked Congress to defer action on the
soldiers adjusted compensation bill
This is not a time to impose sew
eral billion dollars of new liabilities
on an already ov%erburdened treasury"
the secretary said to Senator Freling-
huysen, Republican, of New Jersey, in
a letter which was read in the Senate
when the compensation bill was called
up. The bill already has passed the
House and the letter was in response
to a request from Senator ~Frelinghuy-
sen for a statement of the financial OBJ
legations which the bill would place on
the government.
Mr.. Mellon estimated that the bill
would cost the country between ST.
500 $1,000, 900 and $5,250, 900, 900; that it
would swell the cost of government
and virtually defeat the administra-
TONS program of retrenchment and
economy" and that it would block
'tall %refunding operations on the ma,
tional debt, and depress further the
prices of Liberty bonds"
Foresees Increased Prices.
These, he said, would be "inevitable
direct financial consequences" adding
that probable indirect results would
be grave danger of renewed imitation,
increased commodity prices, and un-
settled business conditions"
81 should be d%erelict in my duty to
the country and to the veterans them
selves if | failed to give this warning
of the inevitable financial consequences
of the pending BILL" he concluded.
"The result would be serious injury
and loss to the whole community and
In the long run the veterans themselves
would lose far more than they would
gain. l cannot bring myself to believe
that this would be adjusted compensa-
ton for service that was performed
as the highest duty of citizenship and
a sacrifice that can never be measured
in terms of money"
"Must Increase War Burden"
Not the least disturbing feature he
continued, was the bills plan to post
pone actual distribution of funds un,
til next year, which, he said, 'tends
TO mislead the people into the belief
that in some way the proposed pro,

he contended. Mt could be financed
only by addition to the burden of deb

such sum could be taken out of the
public treasury without throwing {

charges, increased taxes and in

the future will be run by other fuel.
Already the use of coal dust has passed

Road will Be Widened

Improvement of the Wailuku-La-
haina Pail road is soon to be started.
This does not mean that the much
criticised thoroughfare is to be paved
at this time. 1t is to be widened in
places, Strengthened, the grade i'm
proved in places and the broken rock
from the Pail wall will improve the
%surfacing. There has arrived the In
gersol-Rand air compressor and drills
and when the county prisoner force
is available the work is to be started.
The subject was considered in the
report of the county engineer pre-
scented to the last meeting of the board
of supervisors.
with an air compressor and ma
chine drills replacing the old hammer
drills, there will be a great labor saw
ing in Strengthening and widening the
Pail road; indeed, it was largely for
work on that road the machinery was
purchased by the county.
Prisoners are now being used for
the digging of a trench for the new
pipe for the Misunderstanding water
system and as o as the pipe has
been put in will be transferred to the
Pail work.
Work will be carried on in both di-
r%ections, from Lahaina and Waikiki,
at the same time, and for ~surfacing
work on the Lahaina side there has
already been secured some crushed
rock from the stream at Okumihami.
Using the air compressor, drills can
be operated 1000 feet or more from
the compressor, so that work can be
done at two points 1000 feet or more
apart.

Passionate Pilgrim

Matt Moore and Rubye de Remer,
two of the best known players of the
screen, have the leading roles in the
Cosmopolitan production for Para
mount, THE Passionate Pilgrim
The support generally is one of un-
usual excellence and their portrayals
add much to the enjoyableness of the
picture.
The story deals with a novelist
whose career is ruined through a muir
der committed by his mother-in-law
and who later finds happiness and
o after many thrilling incidents
have t%ranspired. Rubye de Remer an
invalid heiress, plays an important
part in his life's work. The story is
based on Samuel Merwin's famous
novel, and the picture was personally
directed by Roberts G.. Vignola with
artistic results.
Jack Pickford
Jack Pickford, brother of Mary
Pickford, is very enjoyable in "Bill
Apperson's Boy" a tale of the Ken
tucky mountains.
bill Apperson's Boy" shows Jack
Pickford in one of his best roles. The
story is that of a young boy in his
teens, disliking his fathers idea of
marrying a second time, who leaves
home, gets into trouble at his girls
house and is hailed into court. He is
saved by his sweetheart's testimony.
In the cast are Russell Simpson, as
the father, Gloria Hope and George
Nichols. 1t is a six-reel play and
maintains deep interest from start to
finish.
Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin as Carmen! I'M
agine capricious Charlie dancing a.
round in Spanish cavalier toys, cloth
ed regally from head to knees only
to discover the well-known Chaplin
feet bound in the familiar Chaplin
brogans and you have a contrast that
doubles you up from laughter.
Charlie is as courageous as the
bold villain and the swain that play
ed their roles in the story. The whole
is a great burlesque, and if you want
to have an hour and a half of funysee
Chaplin in this vehicle. Adult as well
as young will enjoy it immensely.
William Duncan
Another thrilling serial dealing
with adventures, deeds of daring at
risk of life and limb and the machina-
lions of crooks, with all the sensa-
tionalism of which movie producers
are capable. 1t is entitled Fighting
Fate" and features William Duncan,
he of great physical prowess, and
Edith Johnson.
Among the stunts performed by
Duncan are such trif1es as dropping
from a whizzing airplane onto a speed
