HAIL STORM
HURTS CROPS
Extensive Damage Is Done

Milford
BREAKS WINDOWS IN
SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Special to The Evening Journal.
MILFORD, Aug. s-The hail
storm that swept over the lower
part OF Delaware Saturday night,
was the most disastrous to farmers
OF any storm in many years.
While the storm was general,
damage to crops seemed to run In
patches. In Milford the rainfall was
exceptionally heavy and hail stones
could be shoveled in the streets,
but little damage TO growing crops
Is reported. While the blades on
corn were cut the crop is not great
ly damaged. and while ripping fruit
was pelted with the frozen rain, il
seemed TO survive the attack.
In the vicinity OF Houston. four
miles west. much harm was done TO
agriculturists. as crops were torn 10
pieces by the hail. Along the bay
shore very little effects OF the storm
is in evidence. and in places there
was no rain.
At Gumbore sixteen windows
were shattered In the public school
building and some OF the hail stones
were two inches in diameter. In
this section the storm seemed to do
its deadly work in patches. The
crops on one farm would be ruined.
and the adjoining tract Of land un-
scathed. Tomato plants. in some
sections. are cut of at the roots. /

as with knife. In some fields the
water was standing deep enough to

The surprise OF the storm was the
little damage TO peaches as Il was
hough that most OF the near-ripe
ruit would be ruined.

PRESIDENT PLEASED
WITH HUGHES'S PLEA
Glad Secretary Went to De-
fense of Pacific Treaty.

Special Dispatch to THE NEw York HEnALD.
Fort PIERCE, Fla. March 12.-Presi-
dent Harding approached shore to-day
at Rockledge long enough TO receive
the information that Secretary Hughes
had gone to the defense OF the four
Power treaty In n letter to Senator
Underwood and to express his own sat
isfaction over this action.
Along with Mr.. Hughes the President
believes the defeat OF this treaty would be
a calamity. and while the President. as he
stated before he left Washington. is not
disposed to lobby for the compact, he
feels that it would be a grave blunder
to defeat II and to invite Great Britain
and Japan to renew the old Anglo
Japanese alliance.
II was because OF this feeling that
Mr.. Harding, when informed OF the ac-
ton OF Mr.. Hughes showed that he was
greatly pleased and that he felt that the
action OF Mr.. Hughes was timely.
Whether he sent or will send tclc-
gram to the Secretary OF state express
ing his pleasure over the step. was not
indicated. 1t was apparent, however,
that Mr.. Hughes had not given the
executive notice OF what he intended
TO do.
For the last twenty-four hours the
President OF tho United States has been
cut Off entirely from the world at large.
He had received since yesterday morn
ing no mail or messages and no news
papers until this afternoon, and he and
his party seemed eager to establish a
momentary contact with tho country, II
no more.
The stop at Rockledge was made to
receive three minute visit from Charles

CZARISTS PREPARE

Rome. March Ie.
Should the Bolsheviki and the Poles
resume hostilities In the spring. one
factor in the conflict will be a group of
Czarist officers now in the Balkans pre-
pairing the elements OF a White Russian
army to participate in the operations
against the Bolshevil,l. The Grand
Duke Nicholas, Gen. Wrangel and sew
eral other prominent generals. notably
Potocki. Eokressino, Gourko and Novitz-
ky. are now engaged in forming the
nucleus OF this force. Gen. Basil Gourko.
now In Rome: and generals in Paris and
Berlin are active in the same en-
deavor. 90 win support for the Russian
Monarchist cause.
But the White Russian forces in the
Balkans Is composed OF less than 10000
men-totally insufficient TO begin opera
tions without external aid, contrary to
what the radical press implies. The
popularity of this potential force Is
that it has plenty of officers but pro-
portionately few enlisted troops.
THE NEW YORK HERALD correspondent
has talked with several of the generals
and Russian statesmen prominent in
the Czarist revival. They, like the Boil
sheviki, seem convinced that renewed
hostilities between the Reds and the
Poles are inevitable. The Czarists COM
plain they have been unable to obtain
the collaboration of the Poles. owing to
the Polish conviction that their return
to power would endanger the independ-
rece of Poland, so dearly won.
The French are supposed to have
made several attempts to effect con-
ciliation between the two nationalities.
one of tho most notable of which was
last year. when they made overtures
through Ambassador Barrere while Nj.
SlSirnunt, the Polish Foreign Minister,
was the Polish Minister to Italy.
The Czarist forces in any operations
against the Bolshevik probably would
strike at the Ukraine, crossing to Ru-
mania through Bessarabia.
There are various candidates for the
Russian throne who have visited south
ern Europe recently. The Grand Duke
Nicholas Is in Sofia, where he enjoys
great prestige but little popularity.
Prince Youssouppoff, Romanoff on his
mothers side. is in Nice with his friend
the Grand Duke Dmitri.
The most remarkable feature of the
Russian succession is a veritable re-
enactment of the Louis XV.-the
Dauphin--myth." This belief is cher
ished by many Russians in Berlin. They
are led by Col. Winberg, who believes
the Czarovitch was not assassinated in
Ekaterlnburg-or anywhere else---and
that he is hiding somewhere in Japan
awaiting the favorable moment for his
occupation of the throne. of the Czar Of
all the Russias.
Rome is beginning to attract the
Czarist Russians on account of the
friendly reception now accorded to be-
levers in the orthodox faith.

FULL TEXT OF MELONS
LETTER ON BONUS BILL

First Liberty Loan, which amounts
to almost s2.0o0,0Oo. 900. natures in
1947.
With these heavy maturities of
the public debt, aggregating about
S11.600, 100000. 1t would be highly
imprudent to lay up another matur-
ity of between $4,000 100000 and
$4,000, 100000 in the same period
without making provision for its
amortization in the meantime.
1t is clear from these estimates
that whatever form the soldiers
bonus may take, whether it con-
templates a thorough going insur-
ance plan or follows the outlines Of
the bill which is now pending, it
will cost from $500. 900, 900 to $780,
100000 for the next three or four
years. and may involve continuing
liabilities thereafter of over $780,
100000 year until 1943.
1t is impossible to avoid the cost
IL bonus is to be adopted, and 1t is
both dangerous and unwise to at
tempt to avoid it for the time being
by throwing the burden upon the
banks of the country and piling up
for the Treasury an accumulated
liability which, in 1925, may amount
to over 100000, 900.
There is no way by which the
American taxpayer can avoid the
burden, and If bonus is to be inn
posed 1t is far better for all con-
cerned that it be placed upon a di-
rect and definite basis and paid for
each year out of current revenue.
To do this at the present time will
necessarily mean the imposition OF
additional taxes for the purpose.
Very truly yours,
A. w. MELLON, Secretary.
Hon. J. w. FoRDNEY,
Chairman Committee on Way
and Means, House of Repre-
sentatives. Washington. D. c.

partisan one" He said that he re-
garded the land settlement political
and real estate deal" as one of the
worst features of the bill.
Beyond predicting the coming week
would be a lively one. the majority of
House members declined to express
opinions as to the outcome. Some of
them believe that the clearly indicated
purpose OF President Harding to veto
the latest Fordney proposal and the
exposure of it's defects by Secretary
Mellon viii turn the harassed bonus
supporters toward the sales tax again.
Several OF the Republican members
OF the Ways and Means Committee,
who will join with some of their DEM
ocratic associates in opposing the in
surance certificate loan scheme to-
morrow. will undoubtedly try to swing
sentiment back toward the sales tax.
Representative Longworth (Ohio)
will lead this movement and will be
supported by Messrs. BacharacL (N.J),
Mills On. W, Tilson Comm and per-
haps one or two others. An effort will
be made by members, who do not care
a whoop what kind OF bonus bill is
passed so long as 1t gets through, to
call off the agricultural bloc which
has set its face against the sales tax
scheme. They will urge the accep-
tance OF project moderately follow
ing the Canadian system. imposing a
sales tax solely on manufactured prod
ucts.
The agricultural bloc IL confronted
with a dilemma unprecedented in It's
hitherto short but brilliantly SUCCESS
ful career. The leaders of this group
were inclined to regard with favor the
insurance certificate plan-or any
other for that matter. except the sales
tax--until Senator Glass. Comptroller
Crissinger and finally Secretary Mellon
showed that the banks would he
stripped OF money needed by the farm
ers.
Since then the agricultural bloc has
been nervously perspiring. Whether
its obstinate objection TO the sales tax
project which will be acceptable TO
President Harding can be overcome Is
matter of conjecture. The present
indications are that the members in
tho agricultural bloc who ere quite as
eager TO have the votes OF soldier bows
as any of the city fellows will have to
swallow the sales tax or take the con-
sequences.

will be unable to realize until 1926.
The result would be frozen bank
loans and imitation of currency and
credit.
To the extent that the banks are
obliged to make loans on adjusted
service certificates, their ability to
take care of the demands of busi-
ness and industry will be corre-
spondingly reduced, and even though
the paper accrued by the certificates
may not be eligible for rediscount at
. the Federal Reserve banks, the indi-
rect result is certain to be increased
borrowings by member banks from
the Federal Reserve banks in order
to provide the funds for carrying the
paper until 1t is either repaid by the
borrower or redeemed by the Gov
ernment in 1925.
Needless to say, paper which is
+ secured by non-negotiable collateral
and which may not be repaid for
three years, is not desirable paper
for commercial banks to hold.
A table prepared by the Govern
ment actuary, designated Exhibit
FV. is hereto attached to show the
estimated possible loans by banks
under this provision.
Viewpoint of the Treasury.
From the point of view OF the
Treasury the most serious aspect or
these loans on adjusted service GER
tificates is the fact that the loans
would be floated at the banks on the
credit of the United States. The
plan in substance. therefore, involves
a dangerous abuse of the Govern
ment's credit. for it contemplates the
issue of a vast amount of Govern
ment obligations which are non-nc-
.gotiable and have no present realiza-
bic value unless pledged with banks.
in which event the obligations be-
come, in effect, two or three year
notes which the Government would
be obliged to pay off in 1926 upon
default by the veterans.
This practically means that cash
payments on adjusted service cer-
tificates would be financed for the
HGAt thiCt stdi6 ttiOdSn u lOlGCd
loan from the banks. This is bor-
rowing on the credit OF the United
States fully as much as II the loans
were made direct by the United
States and financed by direct bor-
rowings on Government bonds. notes
or certificates of Indebtedness.
In fact, from the point OF view OF
the banking system and the general
financial situation, 1t would be far
better il bonus is to be financed by
borrowing for the Government to
resort to direct borrowing and to
provide for direct policy loans on
adjusted service certificates from
the outset than to attempt to avoid
direct cost to the Government for
the time being at the expense of
both the banking system and the
Governments credit.

Mr. Fordney declined to comment on
the specific objections to his bill
pointed out by the Secretary of the
Treasury except to say "the figures
are all mixed up as to the cost OF the

Republican Leader Mondell was
much provoked when informed of Sec
retary Melons objections to the land
settlement feature in the Fordney bill.
which has created almost as much
discussion as the original cash bonus
scheme framed by the American Le-
gion but abandoned by the committee.

Leader MondeII's Observation.
"That Is the most attractive and the
most beneficial provision in the whole
measure" said Mr.. Mondell. "and It
has been approved by all conservative
students on the subject. II proposes
to develop the whole nation. providing
for tho establishment OF permanent
homes for the soldiers and the devel-
opment OF waste areas In all sections
OF the country. IL is most worthy,
helpful and useful project"
Mr.. Mondell, who is from Wyoming,
which Is sparsely settled, also took is
sue with the objection OF Secretary
Mellon because OF the failure OF the
Fordney bill to provide the necessary
revenues. He said that in a number
OF bills passed by Congress no finan-
cial provision was made.
The land settlement Joker" In the
Fordney bill. exposed by TIE New
YoaK HERALD, has aroused great re-
sentiment among Democratic Senators
and Representatives. The charge
made by critics OF this feature OF the

ci~ions.
