EXPECT PASSAGE
OF BONUS BILL
Definite Action Expected On Long
Awaited Bill

Pierre, S. d., Feb. 15.-Because of
the absence of several Legion men-
hers the soldiers bonus bill which was
slated to have come up in the senate
today was put oyer until tomorrow.
This means that action on the long
awaited bonus measure can be expect
ed before night fall. While there is a
sentiment here against a few features
OF the bill it undoubtedly will pass by
a large majority.
No action has yet been taken by
either Of the highway committees and
a tie up of the entire road program
looms as a possibility
A conference of representatives of
all churches n the state before another
session of legislature was promised
members today by Rev. n. Doe of
Sioux Falls, president of the South
Dakota district of the Norwegian Luz
theran church. The conference will
study the laws of all other states re-
garding teaching of religion in con-
nection with secular school work and
will have ready for presentation to
the next session a bill expressing their
beliefs and desires.
Rev. Doe favored the Gary plan OF
half an hour a week. He came here
in the interests of a bill introduced by
Berg of Minnehaha. in the state, pro-
!iding for half a day a week for re-
ligious training But the bill had been
killed by the adoption of an unfavor-
able committee report Monday. He
made promises to the next session be-
fore a group of twenty-five members
of both houses interested in education
al matters. He discussed as possibil-
tiles half a day a week or more or less
devoted to religious training in the
schools or credit given for religious
studies.

JAPAN MAY CHANGE -.
SHANTUNG POLICIES
0bata Suggests Tokyo Take
Initiative With China in Ad-
iuStment Plans.

TOKYO, May IA radical change
In Japans attitude toward China
regarding Shantung was suggested
today by Torikichi- Obata- Japanese
minister to China. who has returned
to Tokyo from Pekfn for conferences
with the foreign office. I'D.
Obata. who has been minister 70
China since 1918, following a study
of Japan's trade loss in China and
the growing dislike in China for all
things Japanese, in an interview to-
day expressed his disagreement with
the present Japanese policy OF wait
ing for China to open negotiations
In the following terms:
The best method for 4 settlement
of the Shantung question would be
the presentation by japan of a plan.
with the approval of the powers, to
China The Chinese would welcome
an attempt at a solution. Close
friendship between China and Japan
will be possible only following
adoption OF definite policy by
Japan towards China now entirely
lacking"
Reports that Obata returned here
because of forced resignation are
uncondrmed. Should these reports
prove true they would indicate that
the foreign office disagrees with
the views of Obata and is de-
termined to continue it's present
policy with reference to Shantung.
