Acceptance Believed Assured.
Washington, March 13.-Favorable
report by the house ways and means
committee on the compromise SOL
diers" bonus bill without any i'm
portant change in provisions was re-
garded as assured when the commit
tee met today for final consideration
of he measured Although several COM
mittee members were expected to vote
against reporting the bill, the provi-
sion for issuance of adjusted compen-
,sation certificates was said to COM
mand the majority of a committee as
a satisfactory compromise"
The only amendment of conse-
quence, which appeared probable,
Chairman Fordney said, was eliminat-
ed of the requirement that a war vet
eran must decide within six months
which of the options provided in the
bill, he will accept.
There was believed to be little prob
ability that Secretary Melons criti-
cism of the bill in his letter to Chair
man Fordney, made public last night,
would result in any attempt at
amendment sor delay in ordering it re-
ported. Expressing the views that the
measure as now drawn involved a
dangerous abuse of government
credit" Secretary. Mellon disapprov-
ed the provision for bank loans upon
adjusted service certificates as indi-
rect and forced" borrowing by the
government. He contended that "it is
both dangernns sand unwise,"r to seek
10 avoid paying the cost of bonus for
the time being.

u. S. To FIGHT
FOR SHARE OF
PREPARATIONS
Does Not Intend to Allow
Allies to Take All Ger
many Can Pay.

Washington, March 13.-1t was
stated on highest authority today that
the American government does not
intend to allow the Allies to take all
that Germany can pay in reparations
ana leave nothing for the United
states as recompense for expendi-
lures incurred in the occupation OF
the Rhineland
This. pronouncement of American
governmental policy wa 8 occasioned
ny press dispatch from Paris to the
erect that the Allied governments
contemplated deferring payments to
the United States for the Rhineland
occupation on the ground that the
Amer1can government had not ratified
the treaty of Versailles
Such a position on the part of the
Allies, it was stated would be in
defensible as it could not be main
tanned for moment. either morally
or legally. The further statement was
made that under the terms of the
armistice the American forces re-
manned in the Rhineland at the ex-
press request of the Allied govern
! agreement that this country should be
REIN mbursed for the cost of keeping
its troops on the Rhine.
Under the Versailles treaty. it was
explained. the cost of occupation of
the various Allied armies in Ger

war costs assessed upon Germany. 1t
! was agreed by the Allies, it was said,
that the United States should share
equally with the Allies in those pay
ments. and no technicalities, it was
added. can obscure the plain issue.
1t was said that while the United
States does not want to create a stu
| alton which will be inimical to the
best interests Of ALL it will stand on
rights under the terms OF the armis-
| tice.

$3.50, 100000 TO BE SAVED ANNU
ALLY BY MD. FARMERS

With high cost of production and
for most products, the farmers of
Maryland, as in other states are find
ing farming more or less improbable
at present. Notwithstanding this fact
swine growers who have followed
sound methods of breeding and feed
ing and who have been able to keep
their herds free from disease have Sc
cured highly satisfactory returns from
the operations.
The swine losses in Maryland run
we'll over $350,00O annually. Not all
of this is caused by hog cholera, but
the correcting of the major trouble
will do much to clear up the others.
While these losses are much less than
those experienced a few years ago,
they are yet far too large and add
much to the encouragement of farm
| ing.
To correct this condition does not
mean the expenditure of large sums
of money nor does it demand long and
serious conferences. However, it does
necessitate constant care and coopera-
ton with the authorities on the part
of those engaged in raising hogs.
Without the germs you cannot have
hog cholera. Remember then that
Mr.. Hog Cholera Germ has neither
arms, wings nor legs, nor does he own
an auto or aeroplane. This being the
case, if it reaches your hogs it must
be carried to them.
Observe the following advice and
help save that $350,000 for Maryland
farmers.
Do not feed your hogs any product
that might contain any bones, rinds or
scraps of pork.
Do not permit any hogs to be
brought to your place unless you are
positive that they come from premises
where there is no hog cholera infec-
ton.
If your hogs show signs of sickness
do not wait. Call your veterinarian at
once. If no veterinarian is available
notify your County Agent, or the U. S.
Specialist in your district.
Promptly burn or bury the carcass
of any animal or fowl that dies on
your premises.

Towards the close Of the war with
the first French republic, when the
general distress was very sharp and
bread very dear-in 1900 the price Of
q quartern loaf In England rose to
shilling and 10 pence half penny-a
curious fashion arose Of giving dinners
In which tie guests were asked to
bring their own bread. Nelson was In
vited. to such dinner. but through
some oversight he had apparently not
been Informed Of the conditions Of the
feast.
Al. all events, when Nelson found
that there was no bread, he made
quite n little scene, called his serv-
ant and, before the whole company,
gave him a shilling and ordered him
to buy a roll, saying aloud: 1T is hard
after fighting my country's battles I
should be grudged her bread"
