fact that the hrst savings bank In

opened there BY Rev. Henry Duncan

At FIRST the people did not take kind

with another person, and II was many
years before any considerable num-
Der Of depositors was reached. But
when It was shown that It was quite
safe to deposit money. and II became
known that interest was given. the
Rockwell bank became quite an Inn
portant institution.
At nrst the money was kept In .

MAY RECALL TROOPS
War Department Plans to With.
draw Forces From Philippines.
Will Only Leave Police Force 60 Sup
port Authority Of lnsuiar
Government

Washington-Military defense OF
the Philippines may be completely
abandoned by the United States even
before ratification of the four-p0wer
Pacific treaty.
The step is known to be under con-
sideration in the War department II
it is carried out, under pressure for
further reduction OF the strength Of
the army, the garrison which has
been maintained in the islands for de-
fensive purposes ever since the first
American troops landed under
Dewey's guns in 1898 will be cut to
no more than a police force to sup
port the authority OF the insular gov
eminent.
Should this policy be finally adopt
ed, 1t will be based on the contention
that the treaty guarantees the Sc
curity of the islands from attack by
any signatory power and that they
should be left to the protection Of
international good faith. AS an evi
dence Of its own complete good faith
such action by the United States. II
was said. would have striking EN-
phasis. The possibility OF aggression
against the islands by any nonsigna
tory power is regarded as SO remote
as not to deserve consideration. In
any event. it was said. the provisions
of the naval limitation treaty setting
up status, quo agreement az to de.
lenses of the Philippines or other
islands covered by it's terms prevents
establishment OF Notifications ade-
Quate to repel an invader bent on oc.
cupation of Manila.
Already, in anticipation OF ratiflca-
ton. both the army and navy have or.
dered shipments of mines and anti
aircraft guns scheduled to be added
to the Manila defense stopped en-
route.

Sentiment Swinging Behind Lead.
ers Who Are Urging Adoption
OF Sales Tax.
TO FIGHT FOR PROGRAM
Revival Of 1890 Battle, When First
Bonus eill Was Presented. Fore
cast II Committee Reports Pro-
Ject Favorabiy for Passage.

Washington-The soldiers bonus
situation continues to be so uncertain
that Republican leaders still were un-
prepared to venture even a guess as
to what plan of financing ultimately
would be accepted. 1t was understood
to be their disposition to let the Ques-
ton simmer q while longer in the
hope that sentiment would 30 shape
itself as to facilitate the task Of those
who will frame the measure.
1t has developed that beneath the
surface OF the storm which has
ragged" around President Harding's
suggestion that the bonus be financed
by q sales tax, there has been a lot
OF quiet talk in support Of the pro-
posal advanced by some leaders last
week. That the legislation be made a
general charge against the treasury.
with expected savings though cuts in
regular appropriation bills relied on
for The financing of a portion Of the
initial cost.
Favored at First.
When first suggested by Represen.
tative Mondell of Wyoming, the ma
5ority House leader. this proposal
seemed to meet with considerable IA
vor among the rank and file in the
House, but the idea became all but
submerged by the wave of talk that
swept through cloakrooms and corri-
doris after the Presidents letter to
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee, reached the capitol.
Irrespective of the bonus, there ap-
parently was a determination in the
House to reduce sharply the estimates
for both the navy and the army and
that possibly 100000, 900 would be cut
out of the supply bills for those de.
partments alone. Such a sum, 1t was
said. would go long way toward
meeting the first years cost of the
cash payments to the former service
men.
II such q tax is proposed to a party
conference, the opponents assert they
will renew the fight which has been
waged successfully in a similar con.
ference in 1920 when the first bonus
bill was presented with a sales TAI
attached. Failing to win in the eau.
Gus. they declare their fight would
be carried to the floor Of the House,
with the expectation Of almost solid
support from the Democrats.
