declared on the Senate floor TO-DAY
that the American delegation to the

The Republican leader also took
note of charges that the four-power
treaty and the Anglo-Japanese al

He followed up with the state
ment that if the bureau did not
have sufficient authority under the

tempts to evade and violate the
spirit Of the law in this country and

John L. thompson, son OF Tosten
and Martha Thompson, was born jan
uary 9Th, 1897, in the town of Jeffer-
son on the old Nixon homestead. He
was baptized in Bad AK church, March
7th in the same year, and was con-
firmed November 31st, 1912. His IA
Their died when John was only six
years of age. He attended and grad
uated from the country school and en-
tered the Viroqua High School. which

Greenleaf, Georgia. He left Camp
Greenleaf September goth, 1918, for
France, and arrived there October 6.
Although his brother Erick also en-
listed for overseas service, they never
met in France. The best testimonial
of John Thompson's standing with his
detachment is to be found in letter
written to his mother by his COM
handing officer, bearing date of March
7th, 1919, which is as follows:
Mrs. John A. Thompson, Viroqua.
/ regret to have to announce the
death of your son, Private John T.
Thompson, at p. m. March LIST, 1919,
in Base Hospital No. 81, American
Expeditionary Forces, as a result of
typhoid fever. The death of Private
Thompson is much regretted by his
comrades in this detachment by. whom
he was held in high esteem for his ever
CHEEKY disposition and for the good
work he performed while in action
during the early part of November,
1918, and it is the more regrettable
that he should be stricken by disease,
since he came through these actions
unscathed.
With deep sympathy in your be-
reavement, / am, Yours truly,
John A. MeKenna, Lieut.. Col. M. G,
U. S. A. Surgeon, 315th Infantry.
