Weather Reports at Sea.

~ HE PRACTICE of exchanging weather reports
by wireless among vessels at sea is constantly
Increasing, says the Weather Bureau OF the
United States Department of Agriculture. weather
report was recently received from the captain of the
British tank S. S. Tascalusa covering the entire voy-
age of that vessel from Hongkong to San Francisco
Embodied in the report weather reports received
by wireless from other vessels along the route.
This report is of especial interest because it shows
the possibilities of exchanging weather observations by
vessels at sea, from which deductions be made
the location and of storm centers and the
character of weather to follow. Officers of other ships,
the Weather Bureau suggests, could well collect and
make of such information by wireless thus supple
mentng the weather reports and forecasts distributed
by wireless by various meteorological services.
The practice of interchangng weather reports by
wireless between ships at is perhaps general
present in the North Atlantic than in the North Pa
cifc Ocean. To meet the needs arising from the
growth Of this practice, the Weather Bureau recently
published base-map embracing the western part of
the North Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and

Mellon Opposes Bonus.

THAT the United States Treasury would Dc Sc
riousIy embarrassed by the passage OF the So
called soldier bonus BILL the Senate was
informed Wedne sday by Secretary OF Treasury Mellon
in a letter to Senator Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey
asking specifically for the Secretarys opinion
"As a matter of fact" said Secretary Mellon a
plan to disburse a period OF years up 10 $4'ooo
100000 or $1,000 adjusted compensation must
inevitably increase just that much the war burden
which the American people have to pear II "ouiu

defeat the administrations program OF economy
at could be financed only by adding to the burden
of debt and taxes under which the country is now
staggering However financed, such sum could be
taken out OF the public treasury without throwing
corresponding load upon the whole people in the form
of increased interest charges increased taxes and in
creased cost of living.
This burden, moreover would be in addition to
that already imposed in most Of the States, which
have provided bonuses in various degrees OF hberay
to veterans of the late war"
Grave complications" would be introduced into
the governments funding operations, Mellon said
pointing that in securities fall due in
the year in which it is proposed to begin bonus pay
mentS.
"The market for outstanding government securities
would be adversely affected" he declared, "and the
patriotic holders of Liberty bonds instead of looking
forward to improved market conditions would have to
face the threat of further depression know Of no
one thing for example, that would greatly strengthen
the market for Liberty bonds as the that
Congress had for all given up consideration Of

Secretary Mellon urged delay the bonus bill,
saying there is grave danger that without any addi-
tional expenditures the expenses OF the government
in the future will exceed its current receipts
