Asserts Newspapers of Today Best
 Yet But Might Be Vastly lmproued

DES MONIES, Feb. 16.-Newspa- pers of today, although vastly better than those of 50 years ago. have still barely scratched the surface of human interests and are fettered to a great extent by inertia and slavery to rou- tine, Lee A. White, special represen- tative of the Detroit (Michigan) Daily News. declared today in an address at the annual convention of the Iowa Press Association. He asserted the press is not keeping pace with the growth of public interest in educa. tion. science, invention, economics and many other fields.
 It is difficult, he declared, to de velop fresh news sources while not neglecting the old ones, but news paper men should beware of thinking the evolution of journalism hat- ceased. He cited problems of capit; and labor, commerce, business, fac tory management. agricultural siat:s- tics, sociology, religious, spiritual and ethical affairs, jurisprudence in it's non-technical aspects, and municipal and governmental affairs apart from their political aspects as subjects to which far more space than they now

Troops at Fort Bliss Held in Readiness; Mexican General
 Says All Is Now Quiet

FL PASO, Texas, Feb. 16.-That the northern military zone of Mexico Is now quiet with no sign of revolution. ary activity was the substance of a statement by General Eugenio Mar tinez, zone commander, who arrived in Juarez from Chihuahua late today. The general travelled in a private car attached to the regular passenger train which was accompanied only by the usual train guard The northern zone consists of the states of Chihua- hua. Durango and the Laguna district of Coahuila.
 The border posts will not be strengthened" said General Martinez, "as the present force has demonstrat- ed it's ability to cope with the situa- tion. The revolutionary furry has passed. Leaders of the revolt have been captured, and two of the princi- pals. General Arturo Ruiz and Captain J. L. Perez have been executed.
 These men went to Francisco Villa, on his ranch at Canutillo. Villa told them he would remain loyal to at Chihuahua and escaped, only to be recaptured at a station 40 kilometers south of Chihuahua. They were exc cuted by firing squad at o'clock Monday morning"
 General Martinez admitted that Rosalio Hernandez, former chief of staff of Villa, had revolted at Santa Rosalia and taken the field with 20 men. This force. the general said. had dwindled and Hernandez, accom- panied only by a handful of men, is now on the Coahuila border. where his capture is momentarily expected.

GENERAL SALES
 TAX FOR BONUS,
 SAYSPRES|DENT
Asserts General Sales Tax to Be Only Commendable Plan
 For Raising Money
FARMERS BLOC OPPOSE
Advice to Congress Is to Pay Bonus With Sales Tax or
 Postpone Legislation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Pay the soldiers bonus with a general sales tax, or postpone the legislation, was President Harding's advice today to congress. Chairman Fordney, of the house ways and means committee, tnd Chairman McCumber of the sen ate finance committee. said they did not think the bonus would he post poned but were silent as to a sales tax.
 Leaders of the agricultural bloc were outspoken, however. against this tax, and threatened to counter with q program which would include re- enactment of the excess profits and higher income sur-taXes, and an in- crease in inheritance and some other such taxes.
 This plan also was favored by some Democratic leaders.
 Proponents of a sales tax professed to be confident that because of the strong desire fin both the house and the senate to put through the bonus bill at this session, a majority of the members would come to accept this levy rather than see the bonus pro gram defeated.
 Pending mere careful consideration of the whole problem and a possible further reaction from the country. there seemed to be a disposition on all sides to move slowly. The pres ident's letter, addressed to Represen- tative Fordney, was read at a joint meeting of Republican members of the house and senate committee deal ing with the bonus question, who agreed, after some discussion. to leave the matter in the hands of the ma jority members of the house commu- tee.
 It was announced that those mem bers would meet tomorrow, but 1t was indicated that the tax question would not be taken up immediately. Off cers of the American Legion will De called in first. it was stated, to give their views as to Harding's suggestion that instead of extending the cash payments over two and one half years, payments be deferred until the day when we may safely undertake to pay at once in full"
 Leaders generally, both Republican and Democratic, said it was too early to undertake any prediction as to whether, if the issue finally came down to that, the bonus bill with d sales tax provision, would be defeated. Some thought that many of those now opposed to a sales tax would accept it rather than vote against the bill hut asserted that it probably would be several days at least before there would be a specialization of sentiment on which it would be safe to base Q prediction.
 Asserting a general sales tax to be "the only commendable plan" for rais- ing the money, Harding said he be- lieVed the American people woGvr ac-

The one-half cent rate would be given to vessels of low speed and sliding scale, it was said, would increase the rate to as high as one and three-quarters cent per ton per hundred miles for the speediest Amer ican vessels.
 The direct subsidy, it was stated, would be the principal charge upon the treasury while. more benefits. ofri- cials believe, would be received by the merchant marine from the indirect subsidies. These would include spe- cial rates for carrying the United States mail and preferential railicad rates. The latter, under the tenta- tive administration bill now being pre- pared, technically would be in the form of reduced cargo rates on Amer ican vessels, but actually would amount to reduced railroad rates.

the problem today, but could find
no loophole in the law that would
open the prison doors,
The sentences were imposed more
than two years ago, and the girls
were released on bond pending a de-
cision' OF the appellate court. .
While the court deliberated the
girls married. Then q few days ago,
the sentences were affirmed. They
had been Of the cigarmakers' union.
and had violated a strike injunction.
The women were dragged from their
homes by deputies. aF
Eva Cutting clutched q seven
week-old baby to her breast and Katy
Hadle carried her six .month-old son.
Anne Buchart, Josephine 'Francel,

TELLS
WHY j. 5. SENT
/. YANKS To HAITI
Letter to Senator Mccormick
/ Says It Was to Forestall
+ Anarchy.
BY Universal Service.

American marines occupied the
republic Of Haiti in order ito ter
inmate the appalling conditions OF
anarchy, savagery and oppression
which had been prevalent for de-
tades."
\ This is the reply OF former Secre-
tary Of State Robert Lansing to a
fequest from Senator Medill McCor.
nick Of Illinois for an account of
conditions Immediately preceding
American occupation in 1915.
The threatened violation Of the
Monroe Doctrine by Germany was
bne of the grave consequences
hvoided by the presence Of American
warships, 1t is revealed In Mr.. Ian.
sings letter. made public today.
The correspondence discloses for
the first time that during the reign
pr terror in 1914 following the
nurder and mutilation of President
sam, Germany threatened to seize
fhe custom houses of Haiti "in order
10 protect German interests" This
!hreat Is characterized in the Ian
ling letter as a menace TO the peace
af the western hemisphere. and in
pagrant defiance OF the Monroe Doc
trine."
Summing up the reasons for the
american occupation, Mr.. Lansing
ttates that he Government was
minated by two dominating ideas:
To terminate the appalling con-
titions Of anarchy. savagery and op-
preston. which had been prevalent
Haiti for decades, and to under
take the establishment of domestic
peace in the republic in order that
!he great bulk of the population, who
bad been downtrodden by dictators
Ind the innocent victims OF repeated
fevolutions, should enjoy a prosper
~ and an economic and Industrial
teVelopment to which every people
pf an American nation are entitled.
: "A desire to forestall any attempt
BY foreign power to obtain a foot
,hold on the territory OF an American
.hation, which, IL a seizure OF customs
control by such power had occurred
~ a grant OF a coaling station or
laval station had been obtained,
would have most certainly been a
menace to the peace Of the western
hemisphere and in flagrant defiance
h the Monroe Doctrine"
