DEBT REFUND
soon, BELIEF
Early Adjustment of Differ
ences Between House and
Senate Measures Expected
Following Action.
REJECT BONUS CLAUSE
CBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Early ad-
justment of the differences between
the senate and house measures to
authorize the refunding of the eleven
billion dollar foreign debt was looked
for today following passage of the
senate bill
Three publicans-Borah, LaFol-
lette and Norris-joined with the sol
id Democratic minority in opposing
the bill put through the senate last
night by vote of SO to 25 giving
authority to a commission OF five
members, headed by the secretary of
the treasury, to refund the foreign
debt into securities maturing in not
less than 25 years.
The bill as passed was amended by
a provision stipulating that the inter
est on the refunded debt be not less
than IA per cent.
Bonus Clause Fails
Among the amendments which
failed of adoption was that offered
by Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
| Carolina, proposing to add to the mea-
! sure a soldiers bonus provision with
the cost of the five way adjusted
compensation to be paid out of the in.
terest on the foreign debt.
Over the protests of Democrats a
motion was carried to table the
amendment. After passing the refund
ing measure, the senate adjourned un.
| til tomorrow when the cooperative
marketing bill will be taken up, hav
! ing been made the unfinished business
by the adoption of motion of Senator
Kellogg, Republican, Minnesota. The
adjournment was taken to permit
members to attend the plenary ses
| sion of the arms conference today.

M'AD0O DEFENDS RAILROAD ADMINS TRATION;
SAYS ROADS TURNED BACK IN GOOD C0NDIT ION

congressional committees and the IN
terstate commerce commission, made
declarations to the contrary. He pre-
sented copies of letters sent TO him
in 1918 to Presidents Rea, of the Penn
sylvania. ard Willard, of the Balti-
more and Ohio, among others, notify
ing them he considered their manage
ment unsatisfactory and inefficient.
The measures taken during the
year 1918 called for no apologies -
said A H. Smith, president of the
New York Central, and six other rail-
road men, who were regional direc.
tors under the railroad administration,

mentioned They were caused by
war conditions, and the efficient op.
erations of the railroads in support or

Disregarding the unfairness of COM
pairing railroad operations during war
when general needs of the country
had to be put secondary to the I'M
perious necessity of war" Mr.. McAdoo
said the report he cited and also the
records showed that by any test rail
road operations in the year 1918 were
conducted with great efficiency, skill,

Groundhog Not to See
Shadow Here Thursday

Thursday is ''Groundhog Day" Ac-
cording to the old legend if the little
animal gets sight of his shadow at
noon, he will crawl back into his hole
and remain for six weeks of cold
weather.
The local weather report for Thurs
day does not give the grounding much
encouragement for crawling back into
his hole, as cold weather is slated
w. E. Moore, local weatherman, stat
ed that this old legend rested on a
thin basis, as the animal might see his
shadow in Indianapolis and not see
it in Richmond, and it would be i'm
possible to have good weather in the
one city for six weeks and bad wealth
er in the other for the same six weeks.

MERCHANT Marine
SUBSIDY IS URGED
BY REP. WILL WOOD
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Feb. before the
United States entered the World war
the establishment of an American
merchant marine was successfully op-
posed on the theory that the expendi-
ture it would involve would be too
great.
That argument can no longer be ad-
vanced, Representative Will R. Wood,
of Indiana, points out.
1--WE now have the ships" he says,
"and it remains for us to determine
whether we will utilize the present
opportunity and employ these ships Or
whether we shall sink back again into
the obscurity we occupied following
the close of the Civil war. seeing the
American flag gradually disappearing
from the seas until we became an OBJ
ject of contempt rather than an OBJ
ject of admiration
Mr.. Wood believes that the new
American merchant marine. created
out of the extravaganza due TO the
waste of war;" can never be main
! tanned unless a ship subsidy is pro-
vided. ..
I'VE had a subsidy when American
vessels were the pride of the sea, and
we lost our merchant marine when
that support was Withdrawn, ne
states. ITS up to the American peo-
pie to say whether or not we are
again going to have this subsidy.
| A few days ago member OF con
gress stated on the floor of the house
/ that he believed the best way for the
United States to dispose of the Levi
I -I, in hn
which the United States took over
from Germany as a prize of war, was
| to tow it out in the ocean and sink 1t.
Urges Vessel Used.
| Representative Wood disputes the
advisability of such action, and he
supports the decision of the shipping
board in its plan to recondition this
great vessel and put it back again in
| the transatlantic passenger service
under the American flag.
There is a general belief throughout
the country, probably due, in great
part, to widespread propaganda put out
| by foreign interests which are anxious
to drive American shipping from the
seas, that the American merchant ma.
rine is being maintained at a heavy
| loss to the government.
AS a matter of fact, Representative
| Wood points out, only the ships that
are engaged in freight carrying arc
operating at loss. IN the north At
lantic passenger trade our
ships are operating at a profit, and
anyone who wantf passage on one OF
these ships must make his reservation
well in advance of the sailing date"
The freight shipping trade has beer
in slump because of the world-widy
industrial depression.

Starving IN RUSSIA
START CANNIpALISM,
SAYS QUAKER WORKER
(Bv Associated Press>

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1-Graphic
pictures of light-heartedness amid
tragedy-the cheering smile of Ameri-
ca amid the starving hordes of Russia
are drawn by Beulah A. Hurley OF
New Hope, Pa. now a member of
the Quaker relief unit, in a letter from
the Volga district to the headquarters
Of the unit here.
After describing the utter devasta-
ton in her own immediate district,
where the bodies of the dead aIe
piled up in trenches like so much
cordwood, the piles visible a quarter
of a mile away" Miss Hurley tells CT
having received d letter from another
relief worker, Doris White, whose sta
ton is 40 miles from a railroad
Miss White begged for more help,
Miss Hurley said, but asked that they
send some one with no heart, for it
was a cruel task" She reported that
"cannibalism has begun in the outly-
ing districts and an old woman and
a child have followed the cats and
dogs that already have been con
Sumed."
Has Charge of Relief.
Miss Hurley reached the famine
area of the Volga in the middle OF
December, and is taking charge OF
the distribution of Quaker relief
among 100000 hunger ridden pea
pie in the Babuluk district.
Thirteen relief workers cook, eat
and live in a small box car, Miss Hur-
ley relates. Five of them also sleep
in the same car, yet their life ''is a
luxury to the type of life We see all
around us"
Scarcely day goes by that we dc
not see a dead body lying along the
road or in the market place and three
days ago father and mother and two
children dropped in the snow together
