\ BONUS DEBATE Challenge.

y challenge to debate the question of
a cash bonus for able-bodied service men
has b"em sent to Commander MacNider
of tho American Legion by the City
club of New York post. No. 244 of the
American Legion. Whether Commander
MacNidcr accepts the challenge or not.
the suggestion is interesting as further
evidence of the wide difference of opin-
ion concerning the bonus even among
Legion members.
In the message it is made plain that
the challengcrs are not the gilded youth
of the metropolis. but that the post is
made up mostly of men who volunteered
for military service and who are today
obliged to earn their own living While
expressig the belief that the disabled
should have extensive assistance. Post
No. 81 does not favor the cash bonus
for able-bodied men nor believe that it
is favored by the majority of former
service men either within or without the
Legion. Because there has been con-
Sid.s, BILE pressure and some strong Ian
suage. but little man-to-man argument. -
Mr.. MacNider is challenged to justify
in debate the moral and economic
grounds upon which the Legion seeks a
bonus for the bodied veterans"

When the party of three, which in

the hunting camp in the Maine woods,
their attention was attracted to the uu-

dlatclY to comment upon the knowledge

air could bc had at night
The host. being OF practical turn,
thought that the stove was set high in
order that a good supply of green wood
could be placed beneath it to dry.
After considerable argument they
called the guide and asked why the stove
was in such a position.
