Following are reports from several
cities in response to inquiries sent out
by THE NEW YORK HERALD:
Special Dispatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD
ATLANTA, Feb. 19.-The only organ
lied body here to take action so far on
the bonus question has been the Cham
Der of Commerce, which voted against
any general bonus. The directors went
on record. however, as in favor OF voca-
tional and educational aid to soldiers in
getting land, and In being given all
proper care where needed
The sentiment of the directors was
expressed by one WHO stated that the
financial end of the matter did not in
fiuence him at ALL but that a general
bonus, in his opinion. would be a bad
thing for the men themselves. Patriot
ism, he said, was beyond purchase, and
he added that to grant such bonus
would be to lower the ideals of the men
who served across seas.
On the other hand, at the last joint
luncheon of American Legion posts in
Atlanta, the chief speaker, Dean Thomas
II. Johnston of the Episcopal Cathedral
declared his disgust with the situation
obtaining in Congress. Some kind of
bonus may be passed for the benefit OF
the men, he said, but politicians will
use. he added, every skill and every
subterfuge in their power to make the
service man hated and scorned by the
body polite.
II this bonus is passed, he said. II
will be weighted down with offensive
taxation and then the politicians win

ter the armistice in Y. NJ. c. 4. work,
urged the soldiers to band themselves
together in an active organization to
make It known that the legion was
force in American affairs and that
when this was done he asserted the ex-
soldier would get proper recognition.
The attitude of the banks and busi-
ness men OF Atlanta was reflected in an
interview given to THE NEW YORK
HERALD correspondent by Robert f.
Maddox, president or the Atlanta Ma
tional Bank and former president OF
the National Banking Association. Mr.
Maddox stated that so far as he could
find out bankers and business men gem
orally we're a unit in opposition to the
bonus plan. He said they were not
opposed to just one form OF taxation
but to any additional burden OF this
nature.
He declared it did not matter what
kind of tax was imposed II
meant greater difficulty In bringing
about the readjustment of conditions
for which every one Is so greatly de-

RECALLS OLD TIMES.
Some Stories Will be Told at Ellis
worth Reunion This Week.
Dnct0n Morob~ 1000

Boston, March 80, 1922.
Dear Ellsworth American:
AS you know, it is long time
since l gathered news and stuck type
for the Hancock County Publishing
Co., and after supper used to sneak
up to Brimmer's bridge with the
boss and catch a mess of pickerel.
The things l put in type nowadays
contain no reference to Ticonic's
winning a playout at Waterville, or
Mr.. "Muggins" bringing in a load of
hoop-poles and swapping repartee
with the wits of Water street. In
deed, no; nothing like it.
But the other day my eye CHANGED
upon the where You Bought the
Hat" ad and this Frank Dorr fellow
had filled it up with whole lot of
stuff about Glen Walls, and Teddy
pond, and such things, showing how
one Ellsworth boys mind constantly
hanks back to the good old times
around Union river. And it set my
own mind to travelling back to those
far spring days in the past century
Oisten to that. when the river-drive
used to come in where Lake Leonard
now ripples it's placid surface; when
we used to go trout-fishing in
Murchs meadow, or dipping smelts
in Crippen's brook. And it brought
back to me the happy associations OF
those times, and recalled many faces
long since lost sight Of. All, me,
they are scattered and gone, some of
them forever.
But there is an annual occasion
where such of us as are left like to
get together and renew old &C
quaintances and tell each other what
we did when we were kids, what old
so-and-so said, and to talk over the
days when the stage ran to Bangor,
or whenIwe licked the circus, and to
recall those days of pride when Ellis
worth ships and shippers sailed the
seven seas. You bet, Mr.. Editor,
tongues get warmed up and wag
fast, and when the janitor turns us
out about 1 o'clock in the morning,
we haven't said or heard half of
what we would like to.
That occasion is the annual Ellis
worth reunion, which will be held
this week, Friday, April Z, at Paul
Revere hall in Boston. Don't miss
this chance to meet all the old
timers, for, judging by past events,
they will all be there. There is
music and dancing from to 1, re-
freshments are served, and it is a
bang-up occasion in every respect.
You will be proud to see what such
big bunch of Ellsworth people
looks like, you will get in touch with
old friends and neighbors, and you
will say you never had SO much fun
in an evening since you saw one of
our prominent citizens wrastle with
the trained bear on Main street.
Cordially yours.

VICTIMS OF MORBID CRAVINGS
Sensation Monoers" Must Have Ex-
element, No Matter What the
Price They Have to Pay.

The case of anonymous letter writ.
ing reported from the French town Of
Tulle affords typical illustration Of
the methods Of the sensation mon
ger" Missives making accusations Of
lntidellty have caused the deaths Of
two persons in an asylum and brought
misery into several homes.
This Is precisely the result desired
by the writer of the ISLANDERS. Max
ing a sensation Is the very height of
enjoyment among large number Of
morbid persons. The human crav-
ing for excitement is entirely normal.
but In its pathological and criminal
manifestations 1t often leads to trag-
edy.
The majority of young children de-
light in sensational mongering. A lie
Of Imagination is the commonest form
Of Juvenile unveracity.
