WOULD PAY BONUS
TO VETERANS HEIRS
Massachusetts Representative
Proposes Amendment.

WASHINGTON. March 10.-Amendment
OF the bill to provide for the issuance of
adjusted compensation certificates to
the heirs or estates of service men who
died during the war or who die before
the act becomes effective was advo-
Gated to-day by Representative Andrew
tMass), Republican, in a letter ad-
dressed TO all members of the House.
Omission from the bill OF such pro-
vision, Mr.. Andrew contended. involves
injustice. has no warrant in logic and
ought to be rectified before the bill is
presented to vote of the House.
The bill provides" Mr. Andrews let
ter stated, that IN case a veteran APP
plies for adjusted compensation and dies
before receiving II the compensation to
which he was entitled, but which he had
not received. shall be paid to a desig-
mated beneficiary. or. falling that. to his
estate but on the other hand, If he died
during the war or since the war and
before the act goes into effect, and SO
never had a chance to file an applica-
ton, no provision Is made to pay his ad-
Justed compensation to his heirs OF
estate.
Certainly neither logic nor justice
warrants making a distinction between
the heirs OF those veterans who
may die week after the law goes into
effect and the heirs of veterans Who
may die a week before Above all. the
Injustice Is manifest of favorng the
heirs OF veterans who may die in civil
life In the future as compared with the
heirs OF those who died while actually

country. including those who died on

U. S. DETERMINED
TO PRESS ITS CLAIM
Continued from First Page.

United States for the expenses incident
TO the maintenance OF troops in the
Rhinefand out of the first billion Ger
man gold marks paid in reparations or
OF the later decision to reconsider the
plan of dividing the first billion gold
marks among the Allies.
Great interest was manifested In the
cabled reports and there was an evident
determination on the part OF the officials
to press the American claim for priority
The report that the allied Ministers had
decided to divide the billion gold marks
among themselves and leave to the
United States the chance OF collecting
her bill out of a proposed international
loan to be floated later seemed incom-
prehensible. The apparent determine
ton to revise this decision and think II
over prompted officials here to believe
a more proper view of the American rep
resentation would prevail.
1t is evident the Administration is de-
termined to press its claim for priority.
and is prepared to go even further than
1t has in making it plain the United
States is determined to be considered i'm
the deliberations of the victors over
Germany. This Government has asked
no spoils of war, Mas not pressed the
collection OF its debt and has not been
insistent that 1t be recognized in the
determination OF the character or man
dates except so far as the "open door"
is applied to them.
Whatever may be the decision OF the
allied Finance Ministers relative to the
American claim for priority. it can be
said with authority that this Government
will not approve any decision to leave
to the future the collection OF this
money.
The priority Of the American claim is
guaranteed by the terms of the armistice
and by the Versailles Treaty. The treaty
of peace made with Germany guarantees
TO the United States all the rights ac-
cruing to 1t under the Treaty of Yer
sailles.
The successful fiotation OF a loan II
is believed here. would depend entirely
upon the responsiveness Of the American
market for securities, which would be a
method of allowing America to repay
herself
The total cost of maintaining the
American troops up to January l of
this year. according to official War
Department figures, was $2S3, ,S49, ,256.7
To this is added s40O0000. bringing the
cost up to the present time on the
ratio of the cost for previous quarters
BY some process of granesng credits

deducted from this sum. making the
amount due to the United States at

TURKEY BLUFFS ALL EUROPE.

HE entire world stands in horriaed anazement
as 1t watches the drama being acted on the
diplomatic stage OF Europe In connection with the
proposed re-entry Of the Turks into Europe. Com
PEELED to action by the rout Of the Greek army
and the burning Of Smyrna, Great Britain sent out
call to the other nations of Europe and to its
DomInions to Join with 1t in preventing the Turk
ish army from crossing into Europe. The French
having previously made secret treaty with the
Turks gave the request a very cool reception and
Italy did likewise while the Balkan countries were
to large extent dominated by France There
upon, Great Britain announced that II necessary it
would stand alone and protect Europe from Turk
ish invasion and asked its Dominons to be pre-
pared to send forces to the scene Of action con.
ference was then called by France of representa-
tiyes Of Great Britain, Italy, and some of the
smaller countries, and yesterday Lord George,
Premier OF Great Britain announced that 1t had
been agreed upon to give the Turks possession of
Constantinople and Thrace and thereby permit the
Turks return to Europe. The world is accus-
toned to the diplomatic gymnastics Of the English
Premier, but 1t hardly credit his latest change
OF front on the Turkish situation. It would seem
that in the long statement given out by the Premier
to the newspapers, he was simply putting out
smoke screen in effort to cover up the real rea-
son for Great Brtans reversal Of policy. and the
actual reason Is only to be surmsed. The fact re-
mains however that the nations OF Europe have
offered to bride the blood thirsty Turk by giving
him everything he has asked for, If he would only
stop fighting
With the burning Of Smyrna and the killing of
thousands Of Christians still fresh in its mind,
the world cannot. understand why Europe should
voluntarily deliver Constantinope and Thrace back
into the hands Of the blood thirsty Turk Lord
George in his statement refers to the fact that the
Turks massacred a million and a half of Chris
tians during the years 1914 and 1915. Is there
anything to guarantee that the Turks will re-
frain from continuing to kill the Christians If the
nations of Europe are afraid to take action? And
who is to prevent the Turks venting their blood
thirsty hatred upon large portion Of the popula-
ton Of Thrace once its comes within their power?
What terrible price to pay and 1T is no wonder
the world stands in horror as 1T behods the situa;
ton! Premier Lord George states that 1t is being
done in order to make peace and to keep the Turk
shStraits in neutral hands, and that the League of
Nations will be put in control of the Straits u
the League Of Nations was not able to prevent the
war between the Turks and the Greeks, how can
1t be expected to protect the Straits from the Turks
once they have control Of Constantinople should
they desire to obtain control Of them? 1t is an
amazing performance, and one that the world can
not behold except with feeling Of horror, and
wonder when the next outburst of the Turks
against the Christians will take place.

WHAT THE PEOPLE EXPECTED.

II low that the Republican tariff bill has become
l Y law, as the voters were sure 1t would do
when they elected Republican administration by
a majority Of seven millionaire Democrats act
as though some terrible unforeseen exigency had
occurred and are raising cry of startled alarm.
But why the sudden excitement?
Protective tariff has always been fundamental
principle of the Republican party. We have made
no secret of IT. Furthermore, It is no new nor
untried thing. Under Republican protective
tariff the country has spent most Of the past sixty
two years: and has thrived and grown from
puny nation to the richest in the world
This continuous prosperity has been interrupted
only three times. These three times were when
the Democratic party lowered the tariff fences and
let foreign-made goods food our markets and drive
out American-made goods. The results of such
policy is always to bring on panic of more or less
severity.
The business soundness Of the tarin principle Is
now recognized abroad, where It is called 1.-THE
American plan" Every important country in the
world today has passed a tariff of its own
