It Is believed arrangements regarding
the truce will be considered at the
next gathering.
The original truce terms provided no
plan for its cessation, and IL is felt, it
is said, that even IL it develops that
hostilitics must be renewed provision
should be made fixing definite date
for abandonment of the pact instead
of letting the truce break down with
out notice, which has been considered
in many quarters the probable out
conc.
The Sim Fein has stood firm on its
demand for an all1reland Parliament
as the basis Of settlement, at the same
time refusing to concode allegiance to
the British crown. Ulster has refused
point-blank to scrap her own Parla-
ment to enter an All-Ireland lcgisla-
turc "under present conditions" on the
ground that she would thereby come
directly under the control Of the nu-
merically superior south.
The latest plan, that for an all-Ire-
land Parliament under which Ulster
could retain her existing rights until,
or unless, she changed her mind, has
fallen to the ground under the formal
statement by the Sim Fein delegation
here that it cannot be considered.
AS rsult, in both government and
Irish circles, the opinion is expressed
that nothing short of a miracle can
avert complete collapse of the nego-
tiations and resumption Of the warfare
in Ireland.

Bonus for Soldiers TO
Be Pressed in Congress

Front The 7iibunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-New plans
for raising the fund necessary to paw
the soldiers bonus are being dis
cussed by Treasury officials and lead
ers in Congress One proposal which
lis getting serious consideration is to
make use of the money owed this
country by Great Britain to meet the
bonus.
Announcement by leaders of tho
agricultural "bloc; that thew will
make war ON any plan to use the sales
tax to raise money to pay the bonus
is substantial reason v'hy other
sources of revenue are being con-
! sidered.
| Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
| is understood to favor making use of
the British debt to pay the proposed
bonus. The debt, which exceeds S.
| 100000, is looked on in Official
circles as about the only one of the
war debts on which inte rest and prin.
cipal payments are likely to be made
early enough or with regularit,
enough to make it worth while t,
predicate the bonus payments there
on. If for any reason there shoule
be delays in payments by Great Brit
ain, Treasury certificates could b.
f1oated to bridge over the period O
delay.
Indications grow that soldiers
bonus bill will be passed by the reeu
lar session Of Congress. Senate

his prediction that bonus bill woul,

said he refused to heed their cries be-
cause it was not customary to furnish
water son these trips before reaching
Podanur. He said he had taken prison
ers over the route in similar vans on
fifteen previous occasions without such
attention. Moreover, the escort was
not large enough to allow him to open
the doors of the van without the posi-
bility Of the prisoners escape.
The policeman described the scene
in the van when the front compart-
ment was opened at Podanur. Ali the
prisoners were lying down; many were

consider it a fortunate circum stance

encouraging sign, indicative OF the ne"

held in connection with Armist!ce Day
which is of such far reaching lmpor'
tance in the history of the world

have habit of occurring at dramatic
moments in the plays and spelling the
effect intended by the playwrights.
There is little excuse for rs per cent
OF the "theatcr coughs" according to
French specialists, whassay moments
concentration when the cough is felt
to be coming on usually will prevent It.
There have been Instances of actors
threatening to stop performances
marred by the coughing in the audience

coughing could be eliminated in the

ment from some Of them follows:
Estellc Winwood-Coughing at the
theater is a very serious annoyance.
The idea suggested in Paris is mn ex-
cellent one. I wish something OF the
kind could be done here. Coughing in
the audience makes the players nervous
John Drew-Coughing in the audi
cnce undoubtedly is an annoyance. II

removing the candy from the boxes on

FINAL PLEA MADE
FOR COMPENSATION
Judge L. B. Houck Eloquently
Speaks For Veterans Sat-
urday Evening

World war veterans in Knox county
brought to close Saturday evening
at meeting held in the Chamber of
Commerce in Mt. Vernon the cam.
paign they have been making in this
county in behalf of the constitutional
amendment for adjusted compensa
tion. That the room was filled almost
to the limit Of its seating capacity is
an indication of an interest in the
matter greater and stronger than
many had believed possible.
Prior to the opening of the meeting
the members of the Legion glee club
sang number of the songs they have
been singing as part of the cam.
paing. These were a pleasing feature
indeed.
Chairman Budd presented Judge
Lewis B. Houck who gave an eloquent
and inspiring address in favor of the
adoption of the proposed constitutions
al amendment. Recalling how Ohio
had given in the war, first and last,
100000 of the best of her sons, he
spoke of incidents that still live in the
minds of very many of our people wit
messed as those boys went away to en-.
ter their country's service. Then sig
nificantly the question was asked, now
that "the war is over and the victory
won, is your sentiment and interest in
these same boys gomez" Some of them
sleep in the fields of Flanders land
and never can come back. Some OF
them have come manned, wounded
and sick. The question now is are we
going to stand by them now.
| Judge Hcuck gave three reasons fol
voting for the amendment. First, be
cause of sentiment; second, because
it is an effort toward an equitable ad
justment and is not a charitable ar
rangement; third, these boys served
and sacrificed for 81 day while 9th
ers who stayed at home were paid 81
to SIS and more a day.
The speaker showed how Is of the
states already have adopted compen
satiOn and made strong appeal tt
every man and woman in Knox coun
ty to vote for the amendment. II
closing, he spoke of the rejoicing tha
came from the hearts of the people
of this country when the armistic,
was signed. A lesson of significance
was drawn from the honor that thu
nation is to pay to an unknown sol
der of that war on the coming ami
versary of the signing of that ARM
stice. He found in it an inspiration
and an admonition to perform an OF
liation to the living comrades of tina
soldier on Tuesday by supporting am
voting for that amendment to tn
state constitution making it possibl
to do for them a justice that unhaI
PLY can be only as tardy as it is lin
tied.

sion work undertaken, medical, educa.

In all its parts and action the pa
geant was deeply impressive. It could
not help but inspire full apprecia-
tion for the toll and sacrifices of those
who have labored unselfshly that the
gospel may be carried to those who
have it not.
Those who took part in the pageant
were trained and directed by Mrs. L.
