Madeira, the island to which the
former emperor of Austria-Hungary
and his wife have been banished, might
be said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean
and the Middle Ages. And most inter-
esting to Americans, perhaps, it was
once the home Of Christopher Column
BUS.
Once one has penetrated into the
country back of Funchal, the only
town of the island that may be called
a city, the simplest and most primitive
of civilized conditions are found. Plows
are merely the wooden beams tipped
with point of iron that Roman peas
ants used; draft animals are oxen;
grain is threshed by being trodden out
on old-fashioned threshing floors and
even in Funchal the most common
means Of conveyance is the sledge
dragged over cobbled streets by slow
moving oxen.
But with all it's primitiveness Ma
deira is a land of great beauty and
charm. 1t is considered by many, in
deed, the modern version of the
Islands of the Blessed" 1t Is situated
in the latitude of Charleston, S. c.,
and the Bermudas, and is about as far
southwest of the Strait of Gibraltar as
the Bermudas are southeast of New
York. Madeira, though, is not a low
lying islet, but was once a huge vol
canic peak, and has rugged mountain
scenery comparable to that of the vol-
canic islands of the Pacific. In its rich
volcanic soil on the slopes Of it's peaks,
and in the hot-house-like air Of some
of it's deep valleys, almost every known
type of plant can be grown. The island
has become a great botanical garden.
1t is only necessary to climb its slopes
to pass from the growth of the semi
tropics to that Of the temperate zone.
Bananas and apples, tree-ferns' and
oaks, oranges and pears flourish with
I'm a stones throw Of one another.
Above three thousand feet where most
of the cultivation stops the crests of
the hills and mountains are covered
with laurel and pine. Once Madeira
supported dense forests of large trees,
fact which won 1t its name, meaning
"wood." But the early settlers fired
the forests to clear the land and the
later growth was for the most part
of smaller trees and shrubs.
Scenery Is Magnificent.
The scenery of Madeira is on mag
nificent scale out of proportion to the
thirty-mile island.
One ridge rises to more than 5000
feet, and one valley especially, Curral
das Freiras, has the luxuriance and
charm more to be expected of the trop-
zeal islands of the East. Steep rugged
cliffs mark the greater part or the
coast: and on the low ground ABOUT

DRESIDENT HARDING has ordered
all American troops in Germany
returned to the United States by July
1, the beginning of the 1923 fiscal year.
This was the American governments
first answer to the refusal of the allied
reparation commission to pay its bill
for $241, 100000 for the expense of
United States troops on the Rhine up
to May 1, 1921, out of billion gold
marks recently paid over by Germany.
The allies argue this way: The allies
are not bound by the Berlin treaty,
Just as the United States is not bound
by the Versailles treaty. Americas
claim is based On the Berlin treaty.
Therefore the allies are not bound
to pay the American claim.
Secretary Of State Hughes has made
the governments second answer. In
effect he has served notice on the
allies that they cannot dodge pay
ment Of the Rhine debt by attempting
to hide behind a technicality which
doesn't exist. Identical communica-
lions were placed Wednesday, March
81. by American ambassadors before
the governments of Great Britain,
France, Italy, Japan and Belgium.
Secretary Hughes insists that the
right of the United States to be paid
is not only clearly equitable but free
from any technical objection. He sets
fl nth In detail this right, as established
jointly under the terms Of the armis-
tice, the treaty of Versailles and the
treaty Of peace between the United
States and Germany. He says the
United States viii welcome any sug-
gestion from the allies for reasonable
adjustment. And In the meantime will
they please refrain from giving effect
to any arrangements for the distribu-
ton of German cash payments to the
exclusion of the claim of the United
States.
Evidently the situation Is one which
requires an able secretary of state. 1t
apparently has many complications.
In debate in the senate Senator Lodge
said that our claim had nothing TO do
with either treaty, that it was based

to pay the bonus, which is omitted
from the house bill. Some political
prophets predict deadlock between
the two houses. Nobody pretends
to be able to say whether or not
President Harding will veto the bill.
President Harding, upon his return
from short vacation In Florida, was
called upon Monday, March 20, at the
White House by delegation from the
house: Floor Leader Mondell (Wyom-
ing) and Representatives Fordney
(Michigan), Towner Uowa), Campbell
(Kansas), Longworth (Ohio) and Fess
(Ohio). They discussed bonus legisla-
ton for two hours, with this result,
according to the official communique:
1.-THE legislative Situation relating
to the bonus bill was fully presented
to the President, with detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the provisions which re-
move the menace of excessive drafts
on the treasury In the immediate fu
ture and avoid any program of added
taxation. The President went over
the entire situation with an appraisal
Of commitments made. He advised
the committee that the legislation is
a responsibility of congress, and in
view of expressions previously made
he did not think it essential to offer
any recommendations"
The Presidents expressions pre-
viously made" were recommendations
Of sales tax to provide the revenue
to pay the bonus or pOstponement Of
the passage of the measure until the
funds were in hand. The delegation
was divided as to whether the PreSi-
dent would or would not veto the bill
If passed.
Everybody was on hand when the
house opened Monday and nobody
seemed to know what Speaker Gillett
intended to do. Garner democrat,
Texas) asked that Mondell be given
two minutes to tell the status of the
bonus bill. Campbell called for the
regular order. The speaker announced
that no one would be recognized that
day to bring up the bill. Then there
was conference in the speakers
office 1t got nowhere. The speaker
held that he would not assume the re-
sponsibility of letting the bill come
up until he had the express command
of the majority members. Democratic
members Of the ways and means COM
mittee made minority report which
called the bill all the financial, eco
nomic and political names on the
calendar. Tuesday definite program
for the passage Of the bill Thursday
by the house under a suspension Of the
rules was announced by the Republi-
can leaders.

TRACK AND FIELD MEET
 AT PLAiNFIELD TO-DAY

The track, field and swimming meet planned for Labor Day, but postponed on account of the weather will be run off on the Community House Grounds in Plainfield today (Satur- day) Considerable interest and ex- citement has been raised over the en- tries in the Special Mile Run. Be- sides the usual entries from Jewett City, Moosup, Taftville, Norwich and Baltic, several new contestants names have been received that ought to make the race real thriller. The feature event of the afternoon looms up in the men's relay. The Ashland club with Manager Hal Chase is sending up one of the fastest teams that ever rep resented that institution. Plainfield, always a bitter rival, will lead a ban ner team into the field. Both sides have already claimed a victory. The bettings about even.

Roy Roek,s vs. Ashland

Ashland of Jewett City are up against a tough proposition in look ing Roy Rocks All Stars from Prov idence, but the boys who are lead ing the Eastern Conn. League are confident that no club can get away with them now.
 The home club certainly Is play ing a fine brand of ball just now and with Andy Z~ick on the mound it will take a good club to beat them. Roy Rock who Is probably the best and one of the most favorably known ball players in New England is an especially big favorite in this section. Roy can be depended on to appear with a first class team as he has the pick of all the amateur leagues in and around Providence. He is making every effort to land Packy Noonan to pitch against Ashland Sunday at the request of the latters management

ALL.coLLEGIANs TO PLAY
 AT WILLlMANTEc SUNDAY

The big attraction at Recreation Park, WilIimantic, Sunday afternoon, will be the opponents of the Thread Makers. Jack O'Haras All Collegians, practically the famous Holy Cross team. The outfielders recognized as the fastest outside of the big leagues in the east and every member is a star; many being sort for by the big league scouts. The aggregation repre- scented Windsor Locks in opposition to the Athletics, the Red Sox, the Braves and the Tigers, winning over the latter by score of g to 2.
 Jack O'Hara's lineup includes Car roll and. Gill, who were both Holy Cross pitching aces; Danny Martin CT Ryan, first string backstops of Jack Berry's Wonders will do the catching; Sheddy, a member of the Georgetown University champion team will occupy first base; Doherty, equally fast sec ond baseman will cover the middle cushion. Ring replaces Dagnon, who has been bought by the Tigers, and he is said to. be nearly the equal of Chick Gautreau who is proclaimed by many to be ripe for the big tent. Local fans who saw him play at the lot say that he is as fast fielder as Joe Dugan, the Yankee star Len and Leo Dugan, Simonbinger or Riopel will patrol the outer boundaries; all four are Holy Cross men. The first two caused sensation here last sea son when they played Munson's Mass. nine. Simonbinger, the Babe Ruth of the colleges, plays centerfieid for Jack Berrys Salem Town team. Riopel was 8 star of the Holy Cross in base ball and football.
 The same lineup as last seen will be used by Jack McQuillan. Canavan will positively do the pitching with Lavigne as zackstop.

"Chick" Evans, of Chicago best of the west. will meet tomorrow to decide the national am ateur golf champ mpionship for 1922. They advanced to the final round of the 18th U. S. c. A, tournament for the title today in semi-final matches that were marked by their mastery both of the mechanics of play and of the human element represented by oppo- nents of high rank.

 FOR AMATEUR GOLF TITLE TODAY

noon. Jones, playing ordinary golf out in the morning, came back himself two under par, his southern sup porters lamenting the fate that had caused stynies and adhering mud to handicap his efforts to surpass Sweet ser super effort. He won only two holes all day.
 To many who saw Chick Evans play today the perfection of his strokes recalled the mechanical pre- cision with which young Francis Oui- met over this same course subdued the British professionals Vardon and Ray in 1915. Evans wass peerless. where Sweetser gained some of his adyantage over Jones by chipping nnashie niblicks to the cup, Evans played perfectly to the green and then perfectly to the cup. Tn the presence of such play young Knepper, who had
 himself nipped the title hopes of Ouimet, of Tolley, and Torrance of the British team, found himself the student, admiring rather than rivail- ing.
 Sweetser conqueror of Jesse Gull ford, last years champion, in a hard match yesterday, was not lenient with his opponent today, whose junior he is by one month. With morning card of 69, one below the competitive rec ord for the course, the Yale lad prov ed that his advance In the tourna . ment was no flash. He allowed Bob
 by to win only two holes of the match, and he replied to the Atlanta boys efforts to match him only by trying harder. His approaches and his puts were easily superior to Jones, except in the second half of the morning round
 Sweetsers record breaking card was earned, for Jones made no con- sessions in the morning round except on one occasion when his ball was on the rim of the cup.
