PEACE BY XMAS is
HOPE OF IRELAND
Sim Fein Faction II Reported as
Negotiating for Settlement
of Differences

Dublin, Dec. 4.--(By the Associated
Press) --Tak of peace between the
factions in Ireland IL increasingly
heard as Christmas time approaches.
Action taken by the new senate of the
Free State Tuesday in appointing a
committee to work for the immediate
cessation of hostilities had developed
some indications that considerable
section OF the reputation party is
willing to treat for peace and that the
rank and file Is moving in that direc-
ton.
The summoning of all the Sim
Feinn clubs in Dublin city and county
to debate the question was pointed to
as significant. Although the clubs
are composed Of both treaty support
ers and republicans it was the repub-
Leans who sent out the press notifi-
cations for Sundays meeting.
The unwilingness of the irregulars
to surrender their arms may prove an
obstacle to peace

Always in rags, always in need of

Shines enemies charge him with

MAJORITY GIVEN
SOLDIER BILL
FATE NOW LIES WITH SENATE
WHERE OUTCOME is UN-
CERTAIN.
HOUSE PASSES BONUS
BOTH FACTIONS APPLAUD AND
JEER DURING FoUR-HouR
DEBATE.
Cwestern Newspaper Union News serice)

Washington.-Th $400O,000,O00 sol
diers' bonus bill was passed by the
House by an overwhelming majority.
1t now goes to the Senate, where It's
fate is regarded as uncertain.
The vote was 333 to 20, or sixty
four more than the twe-thirds major
ity necessary for passage of the meas
ure under the parliamentary proce-
dure selected by Republican leaders
for the expressed purpose of prevent
ing the Democrats from offering mo-
ton to recommit.
Party lines disappeared both in the
general debate and on the final roll
call, 242 Republicans, 80 Democrats
and 1 Socialist supporting the bill,
and ~ Republicans and 2S Democrats
voting against it.
AS passed by the House, the bonus
bill would provide for immediate cash
payments to veterans whose adjusted
service pay would not exceed $50, and
would give to other veterans the op-
tion of these four plans:
Adjusted service certificates, with
provisions authorizing loans by banks
in the first three years after next
Oct. L, and by the government there
after the certificates to run for twen-
ty years and to have Il face value at
maturity of the amount of the ad-
juSted service credit at the rate of 81
Il day for domestic service and $1.25
a day for foreign service, increased
by % per cent, plus interest at the
rate of Az per cent compounded an
nually.
Vocational training aid after Jan. 1,
1928, at the rate of S175 a day, the
total payments not to exceed, however,
140 per cent of the adjusted service
credit.
Farm and home aid under which
veterans purchase or improve farms
or homes would be paid after July 1,
1923, a sum equal to their adjusted
service credit increased by % per cent.
Land settlement, under which lands
would be reclaimed under the supervi-
sion of a special board and farm units
established for sale to the veterans at
price fixed by the board less the
amount of the adjusted service credit
due the purchasers.
In only two important particulars
does this measure differ from the one
passed by the House two years ago
and that shelved in the Senate last
July. The original cash bonus option
was eliminated and the bank loan pro-
vision of the adjusted service certifi-
cate title substituted.
Not since the war days had the
House galleries been jammed as they

manded by Lieut.. Douglas Sealy, had

evening publications of Budapest. in
Guiding Az Est, the Pesti NapIo. and
the Magyarorszag. Furthermore it
states that there are but few news
papers Of any consequence in the
Hungarian capital which are not
owned by Shines" The explanation
given of his wholesale buying of news
papers is that SHINES intends to re-
alize the dreams of Professor Naumann,
who vsioned a consolidated Central
Europe, including Poland and Belgi-
um, which should be created by mill
tary means. But SHINES, 1t is said,
aims to reach the same goal through
economic domination. His purpose Is
to secure first economic resources and
then press organs in the various coun-
tries bordering on Germany, in order
that he may spread German political
influence. AS far as industrial pos
sessions are concerned, it Is asserted
that he is well along his way. He left
the Hamburg-American line, where he
was one of the directors, and took u
dictatorship In the Norddeutscher
Lloyd, of which he is the principal
of the Air Route lines in Germany and
Scandinavia, and he is now engaged
in establishing others in Austria.
Danube navigation in Germany and
Austria, as well as In Hungary and
Roumania, is in his hands. He is in
terested financially in the Austrian
Daimler factory and the famous Skoda
works, and he owns the Elbemuhl
paper mills. Finally, with these mills,
the Elbemuhl newspapers, as well as
the Vienna Allegemeine Zeitung and
the Der Neue Tag, two daily papers,
came into his possession.
These are but "A very small part
of the assets SHINES is In control of.
says the Kassai Hirlap, and "just be-
cause of his extensive interests in al
most every part of Europe, the domi-
mating influence of his newspapers in
foreign countries is the more danger
Gus. To allow a string of newspapers
to be controlled and directed politi-
cally by foreign interests is just as
dangerous as to allow political legis-
lators to come under the dictation of
foreigners"
SHINES was born at Mulheim, In the
Rhineland, in 1870. The report that
he is a Jew is not true. He inherited
coal mines. Today he controls GO
mines Berlin bankers estimate that
he is the richest individual In Ger
many.

demolished the industries of northern
France. The coal mines were particu-
lar objects of destruction. All told,
900 mining operations were rendered
useless. They were flooded, dyna-
mited filled with waste materials or
set on fire. Their rehabilitation has
been especially difficult and slow. The
French estimate that these mines can
not be brought up to pre-war produc-
tion before 1890. In other important
industries of the invaded district the
degree of destruction ranged from 90
to 100 per cent. For example, the

carbonate of lime, which has served

Is. indeed. an actual time record for
the work done for long period In

removed from colliery drain. When
the miners were at work the water
bassing through the drain left de-
posit colored black by the coal dust !;

but when no work was done the water
ran down clear and left white de-
posit. In the course of time these de-
posits built up the stone. Each day

ately followed by white streak made
during the night. Wide white streaks
indicate the holidays and Sundays.
