appeal TO the ex-service men Of this

The ex-service man Is a potential
power for the advancement OF civic

that he Is arising 10 a sense OF this
responsibility with each passing day.
Just so surely as each man filled his
indispensable niche in the army or
naval organization in war time.
equally surely he must accept his
civic responsibility which his citizen
ship places upon him as irremovably
as his army or navy uniform clinch-
ed his military responsibility. This
is no new doctrine. but 1t is one that
is becoming more and more appar-

BILL
ISLAID over
Confidence of Supporters Is
Badly Shaken by De-
velopmentS
SOLDIERS ARE
ASKING FOR CASH

WASHINGTON, d. C., May 26.-
Louis Seibold. In n special dispatch
to the New York Herald today. says:
The bonus ran into another legis-
lative cul de sac yesterday that add
ed to the muddle over it and dis
rupted the plans OF its Senatorial
supporters.
The full meaning of the Senate
Finance Committee. which was to
have been held today. was showed
along until next week. There are
three reasons for the change, which
clearly reveals the fact the conf
dence OF the bonus Senators has
been badly shaken by recent events.
The row over the proposal TO
adopt cloture to prevent a protract-
ed hlibuster against the equally un-
popular tariff bill had something 10
do with the postponement OF the
finance meeting. The result OF the
tariff conflict Will determine the
chances OF the bonus for coming
before the Senate in the near future
or at any time during the present
session.
Chairman McCumber and his
associates, who are trying to keep
both the tariff and bonus bills in the
air at the same time. decided to call
off their fight for the bonus until
the tangle over the tariff has been
Strengthened out AS the next bout
over the tariff will not be held until

associates. who desire the political
support Of the element in the Amer
ican Legion seeking TO commercial
ize their patriotism. have been COM
PEELED to cancel their plan to fight
Il out in committee today.
Another development that jolted
the bonus supporters was the atti-
tude of the majority OF Democratic
Senators who evinced little enthus-
iasm for Mr.. McCumber's proposal
70 call them In to help him report
his bill, over which the ten Repub-
lican Senators are tied as to number.
