LENIN PREPARES 8 CHANGES
More Important DEGREES by Russian
Premier to Be Promulgated at
Early Date.

Riga, June 13.-Three more impor-
tant DEGREES, making radical changes
in the previous communistic system,
are declared in Moscow dispatches to
newspapers here to be in preparation
by Nikolai Lenin, Russian soviet pre-
mier, and their early PRONUNCIATION is
predicted.
The first of these reported DEGREES
permits virtually unlimited deposits
and checking accounts by individuals
in the state cooperative banks.
The second limits the power of the
toheka, the Bolshevik inquisitorial
body. to cases of open armed revolt,
banditry and conspiracy, transforming
it into a purely government secret
service for such crimes, while all other
cases will come before the courts.
The third decree abolishes free trav-
ell on the railways and free postage,
substituting tariff schedules.

SENATE CONSIDERS
NEW BONUS BILL
Old House Measure, Changed, Is
Laid Before Body.
CARRIES M'cUMBER's NAME
Penrose Asks That Only Fighting Men
Shall Participate in Its Benefits
Cost Is Figured at About
S4,3s6, 900.

Washington. June 14.-Under a new
title and with material changes in its
features as approved by the house
the soldier bonus bill was laid before
the senate today for prompt enact
ment
Announcement was made by Sena-
tor Penrose, chairman of the finance
committee, that he will move an
amendment that only actual lighting
men shall participate.
Known as Mccumber Bill.
The new bill will be known as the
McCumber veterans adjusted compen-
sation bill. Calling it the soldiers
bonus bill stamps upon just and
unquestioned national moral obliga-
ton the designation 'gratuity, the
report of the subcommittee says in ex-
planning the change in title.
'In simple, plain English, the pur-
pose of the bill" the report states, lis
to give to the soldier who offered his
life with his services compensation
that will more nearly approach that
of the l1horer who remained at home,
secure from danger, and whose COM
pensatlon increased from 200 to 300
per cent.
Even on this basis the report ad-
mits the veterans still will be getting
relatively far less for their risks and
hardships than laborers received in
their absence.
The report expresses the hope that
in time this inequality will be re-
moved, but at present, it says, the de-
pleted state of the nations finances
will not permit.
Cost to Exceed $4,000, 100000.
According to estimates, the cost of
the adjusted compensation will be ST.
56O,OOO,O00, on the basis of every vet
eran accepting cash, and So, 273,OO0,OOO
il all take the deferred payments,
which run for 20 years. The commit
tee figures that the total cost will not
exceed $780, 100000.
The bill provides that payments be-
gin July /, 1922. The report says in
the meantime congress and the treas
ury will adjust the governments fis-
cal deficits to meet the increased liza
bilities. The opinion also is expressed
that by reasonable economy the bill
will not cause any increase in taxa
ton.

UNITED STATES RIGHTS
MUST BE RESPECTED
Government at Washington Offers a
New Treaty to Mexico on
Certain Conditions.

Washington, June S.-The United
States government proposes as a
solution of the Mexican problem a
treaty of commerce and amity with
Mexico. This announcement was
made officially by Secretary of State
Hughes. II Mexico agrees to the
treaty. recognition will follow.
The State departments announce
ment follows in part:
THE fundamental question which
confronts the government of the
United States in considering its rela-
tions with Mexico is the safeguard
ing of property rights against confis-
cation. Mexico is free to adopt any
policy which she pleases with respect
to her public lands, but she is not
free to destroy without compensation
valid titles which have been obtained
by American citizens under Mexican
laws.
"A confiscatory policy strikes not
only at the interests of particular in
dividuals, but at the foundations of
international intercourse, for it is only
on the basis of the security = prop
erty validity possessed under the laws
existing at the time of its acquisition
that commercial transactions between
the peoples of two countries and the
conduct Of activities in helpful CO.
operation are possible.
'This question should not be con-
fused with any matter of personalities
or of the recognition of any particu-
lar administration. Whenever Mexico
is ready to give assurances that she
will perform her fundamental obliga-
tons in the protection both of per-
sons and of rights of property validity
acquired there will be no obstacles to
the most advantageous relations be-
tween the two peoples.
"This quStion is vital because of
the provisions inserted in the Mexi-
can constitution promulgated in 1917
If these provisions are to be put into
effect retroactively, the properties OF
American citizens will be confiscated
on a great scale"

AT FOX'S THEATER.

Last September William Fox, the well-known motion picture producer, engaged a Broadway theater for weeks showing of a new picture en- titled "OVer the Hill," which he had made from Will Carleton's celebrated Farm Eali5 65.' The producer figur- cd that one week would be long enough to determine whether the pub lie cared for the picture or not.
 The picture is there yet The pub lie cared for it so much, that twice daily ever since that day in Septem- ber, 1920, the city of New York and its environS have been mastering enough attendants at "Over the Hill'' 10 make it easily the most wonderful screen success of the day.
 Paul H. Sloane adapted the stofy for the screen, and Harry Millarde dil ected it. The picture will be pre- sented soon at the Fox theater.
