Again attacking the four-power

Missouri charged in the Senate to-
day that Great Britain, France and
Japan "double-crossed US, secretly
and perfidiously, before and during
the world war, and would not hest
tate to double-cross US again
And yet the Senate is asked to

to the Senate and TO, the American

them into a series OF compacts

Reed had suspended on one side

German island possessions in the

The total cost of the soldier bonus
bill under the plan proposed is placed
at s4.oss. 71s,s5o. spread out over
twenty years. according TO an
analysis made by Republican men,
bers OF the Ways and Means Com
Tnittee I'm a report submitted to the
House today.
OF this great tocal, only about
$500, 900, 900 will fall upon the Gov
erhment during the next five years,
and but STARTS. 900 during the fiscal
year 1929.
The estimate of cost OF the bonus
ia made out on basis of 10 per
cent payments of compensation
that amounts to $50 or less, 70 per
cent In adjusted service certifi-
Gates, IN per cent vocational train
ing aid. 10 per cent farm and home
aid and ia per cent land settle

For the year 1928 IT is estimated
that the bonus cost will be $4,000
600 cash: $26.604, 900 death pay
ments, $31. s75, 900 vocational train
ing. For 1924, S26,440, 900 death
payments; 10000, 900 vocational

aid: Sc, 900 900 land settlement; total
sI24, 440. 900. For 1925. s2S,270.0 900
death claims: s650.00 vocational
training; $4,000 900 farm and home
aid; sac, ooo, 900 land settlement;

s25, 900 death payments; $4,000, 900

settlement; total STAT, 1925 900. For
1927, s26,s36 900 death payments;
SIS zoo. 900 land settlement total
S42 ,936 900.
After 1927 the Ways and Means
Committee makes allowances only
for death payments under the in
surance certificates. all other forms
of bonus payments having been dis
charged. These death payments
are estimated on a gradual ascend
ing scale from 27,046 900 In 1928 to
s34,251000 in 1912
4,45S,1ss Eligible.
The estimate OF those eligible for
the bonus is placed by the commit
tee at 4.45S,1es.
The service period was from April
6. 1917. to June 30, 1913. totai OF
S16 days. The estimated average
number OF days OF service for the
army was 3ss; navy, 40; marine
corps, 40. From each Of these to-
tails of days Of service is deducted
sixty days which were covered In q
previous bonus payment.
The total number of those who
served was $780, 500 in army. SOL 1856
in navy, and 8S,101 in marine corps.
Excluded classes from the bonus to.
tai: Army, 717,50o; navy, lot .22S;
marine corps, 7,410. These estimates
leave the number of those entitled
to the present bonus: Army, $685.
600: navy, 444,5oS; marine corps,
so ,s91.
The majority of the committee
stated that adoption OF the cash
bonus plan under previous drafts
of bonus legislation would have
entailed too great a drain upon the
Treasury without special taxes to
raise the funds, and that -objec-
lions to additional taxes could not
be overcome.

SPOKANE YOUTH EATS
 YEAST FOR BREAKFAST

SPOKANE, December 2S-Andy M. Belours 20-year old eccentric, who by his advocacy of straight yeast diet, became famous in Spokane over night has decided to spend the winter in California
 My folks live in California and nev- CT day has passed since I left home that I have not yearned for some of the delicious potato yeast my mother always made" said Andy in explaining his decision to leave for the outhland.
 "Se would never have thing to do with the manufactured kind and now appreciate hes skill as a yeast maker. I could always rise to dizzy heights from eating her yeast The 'boughten' kind hasn't either the flavor or the punch that hers had"
 Before decididng to leave for Cali fornia, Belours was twice placed under arrest here because of his peculiar ac- tions. He has almost $700 in Canadian money on his person which he says he saved by living on a yeast diet.
 Belours says that he eats cake of yeast in the morning and then drinks glass of water. He says the action of the water on the yeast gives a re- suit that is quite filling. He repeats the operation again in the evening for his evening meal.
