Blasted From Its Lake Retreat

BUIENOS AYRES, March % (By Th
Associated Press) ).-Elaborate arrange
ments for the capture or destruction
of the anachronistic creature reported
to have been seen in an Andean lake
have been made by the expedition which
left here last night for Patagonia
under the auspices of the Buenos
Ayres Geological Garden.
The members of the party are we'll
armed, \carrying elephant rifles and
lassoes. A quantity of explosive is
also being taken with which to mine
the lake and thus scare out the monster
be it plesiosaurus, glyptodon or
megatheriur,, AS variously reported.
The zoos taxidermist is taking along
ambalming materials for use in case
the beast is killed. Another item of the
outfit is a gasoline motor with which
20 propei the boat to be constructed OIL
the shores Of the lake.
The expedition will proceed by rail
to NeuQuen, thence by car,:ons TO Bari
loche and from there on horses into the
territory of Chubut, where the lake is

treaties in ali were submitted TO the
Senate by President Harding.
President Harding, in his Invitation
to The powers 10 attend the Washing

conference, it ma be possible to tind

corning light units and submarines.

Bonus Bill viii Pass
Representative, Who Opposed
Measure, Says Many Mem

"The bonus question was first
brought up two years ago, and its op-
ponents now have no one to blame cx~
cept themselves for the success Of the
Fordney BILL" said Representative John
Q. Tilson, of Connecticut, one of the
two Republican mem bers of the Ways
and Means Committee who opposed the
measure. in speaking last night at a
testimonial dinner given to Charles W.
Hoyt, head of Hoy5's Service, Inc, and
president of the Advertising Agencies
Corporation, on the occasion OF his
fiftieth birthday.
eighty members OF the House voted
for bonus at that time, and when
they returned home they we're warmly
commended by many Of their soldier
friends" continued MIR. Tilson, "while
on The other hand those who voted
against 1t we're subjected to much crit
icism, and to active attack by commit
tees OF the American Legion and 9TH
ers favorable to bonus. No attempt
was made to come to their defense BY
those who now are speaking out against
the plan, so that some concluded that
the consensus of opinion throughout
the country was favorable. and others
decided that the public was apathctic
about it, and said to themselves.
What's the use Of opposing it?"
Representative Hilson expressed the
opinion that considering the heavy
majority which the bonus bill re-
ceived in the House it is very prob
able that it will be carried through the
Senate and enacted into law.

LONDON, March 24.-During the dis
cusson Of the vote for 1l8,500 officers,
mon and boys for the Royal Navy in
the report stage in the House of Com
mons to-day, Mr.. Amcry. Financial and
Parliamentary Secretary TO the Ad-
miraity, said the reductions in person

believed it would be. II by any mis-
chance, however, the treaty should not
be ratified, the estimates, of course,
would have 10 be subjected to revision.
Mr. Amery added that in the Ameri-
can navy a reduction from 139, 900 to
10000 had been suggested by a com
mittec Of ihe lower house. while the
Secretary of the Navy had suggested
10000, and, no doubt, the actual fig
ures would be somewhere between. The
Japanese figures, he said, we're 10000.
Mr. 8mery, during the debate, said
the one-poWer standard idea had been
challenged by speakers.

Of competition with either of the two
great powers mentioned, the main
tcnance in any sense of the one-power
standard made it necessary for Great
Britain not to be hopelessly inferior

kernel, the pivot, of sea fighting, The
vote was agreed to.
Mr.. Amery's figures on the American
personnel, rs given in the foregoing,
more nearly approximate those for the
American army than the latest figures
in connection with the navy. The re-
quest of the Secretary of the Navy
