: s'ess May Cut
*..pply Measures
toProvide Bonus
Slashing of Appropriation
Bills Proposed to Finance
Added Compensation
for Former Soldiers.

Washington, Feb. II. - The sol
diers bonus question was tonight
still very much in the air.
Congress was without any Off
cial word from President Harding
as TO his views on the subject, and
meantime, the committees which
have been handling the problem con-
tinued to mark time.
Among senator's and representa-
tives generally. there was consider
able private discussion and conjec-
ture with the revival on the house
side, of talk about a slashing of an
nual appropriations bills as a means
OF providing the necessary finances
for the bonus. s.
Representative Mondell, Wyoming,
and some other leaders i'll the house
we're understood to be giving this
proposal close study. Mr.. Mondcll
called at the White House early i'll
the day. but did not see the presi-
dent. He said afterwards that the
supply measures would b. examined
carefully to determine whether much
of the sum needed for the bonus
could not be obtained from that di-
rection.
Favored in House.
This proposition met with consid-
cradle response from members OF
the house, where apparently there is
a growing desire to put the bonus
through. There were suggestions
that as a result OF the agreement for
naval holiday as much as $500, ,OO0,-
900 could be cut from the naval bill
and that another large sum could be
saved by cutting down the size OF
the army. Mr. Mondell and other
leaders were not prepared, however,
to make estimates until more care
full study of the subject had been
made
With the executive known to look
with disfavor upon either the sug-
gested eight point tax program, or a
bond issuc, sales tax proponents
pushed their campaign with renewed
vigor and were understood to have
been well satisfied with the pro-
gress made. They were said to be
hopeful that the president would
suggest this kind of tax in his
expected communication to Chair
man McCumber OF the senate finance
committee.
Many Oppose Sales Tax.
Some senators also thought that
Mr.. Harding might make such sug-
gestion, but this belief did not, ap-
pear to be general. Sentiment in both
the house and senate against sales
tax was said to be so strong that
there was little probability that the
bonus bill with a provision for this
tax could be passed
Congressional leaders were under

night as to when the president would
communicate with Senator McCum-
Der or whether his letter would con-
tain suggestions that might assist

Gigantic Ice Jam
Converts Baltic
Sea Into a Lake
Closes Cattegat-Five Steam
ships, Caught in Pack, in
Great Danger as Wind
Presses Ice.

Stockholm, Feb. l5.-Thc Baltic
sea has been converted into an iso-
lated lake owing to the closing of
the Cattegate and the sound by ice.
Five steamships, including the
Thule from London with q passen-
gers, are held fast i'll very dan
gerous position off the Vinga light
house, while other vessels caught by
the pack of the Swedish west coast
bring the total of blocked-in craft to
well above score.
The ice pack which is blockading
the Swedish west coast is of enor-
nous thickness, and the wind is con-
tinuing to press the ice against the
shore, increasing the danger of the
ships caught in the pack. Two
steamers already have foundered
their plates being crushed in by the
ice. The crews escaped to other YES
sells.
The $500 ton Danish freighter
Tranquebar, from Galveston and
Norfolk for Copenhagen, and more
than 20 other vessels are imperiled
Ice breakers who ordinarily would
go to the rescue of the, imprisoned
craft are themselves stuck fast in
the ice.
Will Not Halt Relief.
The closing of the Baltic by the
ice belt will not interfere with the
American relief activities in Russia
according to American relief head
quarters here. Anticipating the
freeze up, the administration has
created reservoirs of supplies within
Russia adequate for feeding 100000
persons until the middle Of April.

goes are ice-bound i'll the Elbe. bu,
