Friends Of Service Men See in
Plan Move to Defeat or
Delay Benefits.
NEW SCHEME SUGGESTED
Republican Leaders Now Pro-
pose Including Families Of
Deceased Veterans.
NEW SCHEME SUGGESTED
BY Universal Service.

Opposition to the insurance GER
tificate bonus plan overwhelmed
House leaders to such an extent yes
tcrday that they decided to change
the scheme in the hope Of forcing
its adoption.
Republican members Of the Ways
and Means Committee agreed among
themselves that when the new bonus
plan is submitted to the full mem
bership Of the committee this week
amendments would be offered to
meet some Of the numerous objec-
tions that have been raised.
1t was proposed the insurance GER
tificates be given not only to former
service men. but also to the direct
dependents Of veterans who have died
since leaving the service. The Ger.
tificates would be given only to the
families Of dead veterans. and would
have the same borrowing value as
those given living veterans. They
also would run for twenty years,
but would not have the insurance
feature of those given living former
service men.
Would Compel Loans.
Informal conferences held during
the day by Republican House leaders
and Republican members OF the
Ways and Means Committee also
brought forth suggestions that some
provision be made requiring banks
20 make loans on the proposed GER
tificates. AS adopted by the ma
jority Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, the revised bonus bill could
not require banks to make the loans
II they refused to.
From the time it was announced
the five.way bill would be revised a
revolt against the House leaders has
been growing steadily in Congress.
Friends of the bonus and advo.
Gates OF the sales tax as the most
feasible method of financing it have
organized against the new plan and
have prepared to make an effort to
overthrow the committee.
Urge Sales Tax Plan.
House leaders have been informed
that petitions for a caucus Of the
Republican membership of the
House will be circulated. At the
caucus 1t is planned to Illustrate the
efforts Of House leaders to defeat
the bonus through the revised plan,
and have the five-way plan restored
with the sales tax attached. as rec.
commended by President Harding.
The storm Of protest against the
new scheme has not been confined to
the membership Of the House. Sen
ators and Representatives are being
flooded with letters from all parts
of the country. protesting against
the change in the bonus.
1t Is openly charged in many OF
the letters Of protest that the new
plan was advanced for the sole pur
pose of defeating the bonus alto
gether or delaying It indefinitely.

For months statements have been

Americans working for the Graves

condition of laxity and inefficiency
has been charged in these state
ments, which are supported by
sworn affidavits from men now in
the Graves Registration Service In
France.
Investigation Ordered.
Copies Of these affidavits were

2. That in at least two instances
foreign workmen employed by the

The four-power Pacific treaty
will not be ratified by the Senate
without at least one reservation
stipulating that it does not binc
the United States to an alliance
with Great Britain, France and
Japan.
This was the verdict last night
of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
the Republican leader, following 6
conference he had with President
Harding at the White House.
To Reject "Alliance." -
The one reservation which Sen
ator Lodge stated would undoubt
edly be adopted is the Harding
Brandegee mo alliance" interpre
tation OF the pact.
The upshot OF the Harding-Lodge
conference was the sudden wreck
ing OF n movement engineered by
Senator Kellogg CR. Of Minnesota
to defeat the reservation.
Contributing to Kellogg's failure
to line up his Republican Admin
istration colleagues against the
reservation was said to have been
the notice served on Lodge by
Senators Brandegee. OF Connecticut
Moses. OF New Hampshire; and Nc
Cormick, of Illinois, that If ii were
rejected they would vote against
ratification.
Lodge Changes Front.
Lodge was understood to have in
formed President Harding Of the at
titude assumed by Brandegee
Moses and Mccormick, and to have
expressed the opinion II Kelloge
were encouraged by Administration
support to pursue his drive" against
the reservation that the uncertain
ties Of the Senate situation would
be seriously aggravated"
Kellogg opposed the reservation
on the grounds that he does not re
gard any reservation to the four
power pact as necessary" This
was Lodges won view originally
But Lodge was reported to have
abruptly changed his opinion as tc
the desirability of the Harding
Rrandegee reservation after Bran
