LAST FIGHT
TODAY FOR
BONUS BILL
Republican House Lead
ers Prepare for Last
Skirnish Over Bonus
Legislation-Look for
Little Opposition In
House

Washington, March 22.--A resolu-
ton making tomorrow special sus-
pension day in the House so as to con-
slider the soldiers bonus bill under a
suspension of the rules, was approved
today by the rules committee without
Il formal record vote.
Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee said the House would meet
at II a. m., an hour earlier than usual,
and there would be an hours debate
on the resolution before the bonus
bill was reported Only majority
vote will be necessary for adoption of
the resolution which provides for four
hours debate on the bill.
Chairman FOrdney Of the ways and
meanH committee will control two
hours of time of the debate on the
bill and Representative Gardner of
Texas, ranking Democrat on that COM
mittee, will control the other two
ours. Representative Campbell said
Representative Fordney would place
one hour of his time at the disposal
OF Representative Treadway of Missis-
sippi. who opposed the bill. Represen-
tative Gardner said he would allot one
hour of his time to Democratic sup
porters of the bill.
Washing.o on. March 22.-Repub lean
house leaders prepared today for the
final skirmish in the long fight over
soldier bonus legislation. They look
ed, however, for only comparatively
little opposition tomorrow when the
measure was to come up in the house
under suspension Of the rules.
Four hours of debate were 70 pre-
cede the final roll call, set for before
adjournment. Half of this time was
to be assigned to opponents for the
firing of the final shots at the com
promise bill. Some leaders said they
did not expect the discussion 10
change a single vote, and they pre-
dicted that far more than the neces-
sary two-thirds majority would be
obtained for the bill.
Once the roll call began, party
lines We're expected to disappear. In
fact, those who had undertaken to
sound sentiment in that direction
thought there would be more opposi-
ton votes from the republican than
from the democratic side. Some OF
those who planned to support the bill
said privately they were not salts
fled with all of its provisions, but
would vote for it convinced that ii
was the bes: legislation that could
be brought before the house at this
time.
Democratic leaders planned to cen
ter fire on the resolution to make
Thursday suspension day. The res
olution was to be presented tomor-
row after the house convened Its
odoption-and only majority would
be necessary for that-would pre-
clude the possibility cf the minority

was there expected to offer a motion
to send the bill back to the ways and
means committee with instructions
to reinsert the cash bonus for when
the new bank loan provision was sub
sttuted.

Elk STRENGTH
OF 4-POWER
TREATY NAVY

Washington. March 22.-The House
Naval Committee agreed today to re-
mort a bill fixing the maximum en-
listed strength of the navy at w.
600 plus 5000 apprentices or lO,oOo
less than the number Secretary Den
by declared was needed to operate
the treaty fleet.
The bill also provided that not
more than 200 members of each
graduating class at the Naval aca'
demv shall be commissioned this
wear in 1928 and 1924. There are
541 members of the first class at the
academy to be graduated in June.
The four-power arrangement was as
sailed by Senator LaFollette as a
scheme of Great Britain and Japan to
secure cooperation and protection OF
the United States in furtherance OF
their schemes of exploitation and i'm
perialism." He declared it was
viewed by both British and Japanese
statesmen as merely an extension OF
the Anglo-Japanese alliance which IL
abrogates, and that in actual practice
it would result in binding the United
States to support the policies of Lon
don and Toxic against such outside
powers as China, Russia and Germany
II do not know" said Senator La
Toilette, whether the British govern
ment would contend II this proposed
treaty went into effect that it's do
minions should each have a separate
vote under the treaty as they have un
der the League of Nations. At all
events we do not know that the An
gloJapanese policy of aggression and
imperialism which made the British
empire and the Japanese empire close
allies In the past will cause them tc
stand as a unit In opposition to the
policies of any power in the Pacifc
ocean which cares to insist that the
rights of weaker people there shall
be recognised ana protected.
Whether they put-vote us to
org toll is not material.

We wish to thank our custom
ers for their many evidences Of
good will and patience during
our recent shut down causing
part of the town to be in dark
ness. This is the first time we
have failed in our service and
we will do everything in our
power to avoid interruption of
service again. In order to give
still better service we are ar

Our misfortune brought home
the fact that we have many real
