Soldier Bonus Up in
House After Christmas

Washington, Dec. 14-The house
ways and means committee, with the
tariff and tax revision off its hands
for the present, will take up the sol
dier bonus question Immediately
after the Christmas recess. Chair
man Fordney announced today that
the committees first order of busi-
ness for the new year would be con-
sideration of adjusted compensation
legislation. Its primary concern, he
added, would be to determine how
funds with which to pay bonus can
be raised.
The opinion appears to be general
that any bill must provide a means
OF raising the funds it intends to dis
tribute.
Among the proposals now put for
ward as means OF raising bonus
funds is either a manufacturers tax
or a general business sales tax. 1t is
also contended by some that il a
bonus is voted. it should in some wav
be linked up with settlements by for
eign nations of the debt owed the
United States. House leaders said
today there was a growing demand
among members, most of whom will
stand for reelection next fall, for
disposal OF the bonus question at an
early date.

Chile and Peru
Reported Near
Breaking Point
Technical State of War Exists
Since Assembly Declared
Treaty Of Ancon
Void.
BY ]. w. WHITE.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 1.-THE re-
cent skirmish between Chilean and
Peruvian patrols across the frontier
Peru's orders against the landing ol
Chileans and the repeated declara-
tons of the Chilean foreign Office OF
its intention to conduct a plebiscite
in !, Tacna-Arica, with or without
Peru's participation, show that tht
relations between the two countries
are extremely critical.
Technically, state of war exists
since President Leguia's constittl-
tional assembly declared the treaty
Of Ancon void and decreed the rein
corporation of Tacna-Arica and Tar
apaca i'll Peruvian territory, despite
the definite nature with which Tar
apaca was ceded to Chile in payment
of a war indemnity.
Presidents Allesandri and Leguia
are following diametrically opposed
policies. Senor Alessandri carried
the presidency of Chile under the
banner of "Solve the Tacna-Arics
problem which is threatening the
peace of South America
Senior Leguia was elected for the
second term by promising to recover
Tacna-Arica and Tarapaca. He gath
cred his support largely as a result
of his anti Chilean policy in his frs
term, during which he purchased
munitions and rejected Chile's pro.
offered wreath at the unveiling of I
tomb for Peruvian veterans of the
nitrate war. Senor Leguia's policy
has been strongly anti-Chilean fo1
the past two years and it has ever
been hostile toward Peru's old ally

The issue came at the close of the
days meeting when President Cam

motion to adjourn. Mr. Wooster
arose to his feet and asked to speak.
At first he was denied by hooting

Then followed a TRADE by the vet

alleged there was train of decep-

fering,'' Woman Declares
Surrendered by Hus-
band and Father.

New York, Dec. 14.-Pleading
eight years of suffering as her justi-
hcation Mrs. Charles A. Raizcn to-
day faced arraignment In Brooklyn
court on charges Of killing DR..
Abram Glickstein, aged 48, in his
Bedford avenue office last Saturday.
Surrendered to the police by
lawyers representing her father and
husband last night, Mrs Raizen,
who is % years old and the wiIe
Of toy manufactures to whom she
was married last May, told her story
to District Attorney Harry Lewis.
With dry eyes and an air Of self
control superior to that of any OF
her auditors, she revealed the secrets
of life which she said had been
made nearly unbearable by the
physician whose life she had ended
with bullet.
She had known Glicksten, she said,
most of her life. He was her family's
general practitioner in the Hover east
side of Manhattan, where she, then
Lillian Schatfer, and her parents, as
we'll as Glickstein, lived. He had
her implicit trust, she told the dis
trict attorney, and exercised strange
but powerful influence over her-a
sort of magnetic influence, as she
described it.
Mrs. Raizen said she struggled in
vain to break the hold the physician
had on her life. A year ago she
thought she had succeeded. The re-
lationship, which she said had always
been against her will, ended about a
year ago, and she thought she was
free.
Then, on the eve Of her marriage
to Raizen, she said, Glickstein re-
newed his advances and attacked her
in the Office, where on Saturday night
she killed him.
