DETAILS WORKED OUT
And the Rel Drafted Measure Will Be
Presented to Full Committee
Tuesday.

Washington, March 3.--The working
out of details of the compromise sol
diers' bonus bill was completed to-day
by the special sub-comnittee of the
House ways and means committee, Re-
publcans, and it was announced that
the rerdrafted measure would be pre-
sented to the entire committee mem
bershjp, Republicans and Democrats,
next Tuesday.
The perfected plan will be submitted
TO the majority membership Monday.
Chairman Fordney and other members
said they did not think it would be
necessary to present the bill to a Re-
publican conference, but added that the
measure probably would not be report
cd 20 the House for ten days or two
weeks, 50 as TO give members ample
time in which to study the compro-
mise.
One important change in the origi-
nal adjusted service certificate title
was made to-day and members esti-
mated that this would reduce the to-
tai ultimate cost of the bonus by per-
haps as much a. half million dollars.
Under this change the face value of
the certificate would be the sum of
the adjusted service pay plus % per
cent, instead of forty per cent as origi
nally proposed, plus interest at the
rate Of AZ per cent a year, compound
ed annually.
The maximum interest rates which
banks could charge in making loans
to the holders of the certificates was
fixed at the amount OF the rediscount
rate charges by. the regional federal
reserve banks plus two per cent

MANY Fzl2EZNE,N PUT OUT
WHILE FIGHTING FIRE
IN BRIDGEPORT, CONN.,
LLOYD GEORGE
MUST GET SUPPORT
ON MARCH 8
Or He Will Resign the British Premier
ship, According to Word in Par
liamentary Circles.

London, March 3 (By the Associated
Press Wednesday, March s, Is the
date set by Prime Minister Lloyd
George for fulfillment of his ultima.
tlim to Austen Chamberlin, according
to report in parliamentary circles,
II by that date he has not received
satisfactory assurance of the loyal
support Of the coalition conservatives,
ii is said, he will present to the king
his formal resignation of the premier
ship, which he is now figuratiyely car
rying in his pocket.
Numerous private meetings Of poll
ticians yesterday led to no official an
of developments tending
toward solution Of the crisis. One
OF them, indeed, resulted in hardening
the opposition of the die hard con-
to Lloyd Georges leader
ship.
This meeting was attended by more
than eighty conservative members OF
the House of Commons and the House
of Lords, who we're reported to have
further decided that the utmost should
be done to hasten the formation OF
a eonseryatiye-unionist government,
The determination of Mr. Chamber
lain, lord chancellor .Birkenhead and
other conservative leaders TO stand by
Mr.. Lloyd George is mistaken.
The cabinet met last night but, as
far as can be ascertained, did not deal
with the crisis, transacting only state
business.
