ATTEMPT
FOR RELEASE OF
WAR PRISONERS

The house judiciary committee to-
day set March 16, for a hearing on
the question of amnesty for the 113
war prisoners still in jail on convic-
tions under the espionage act for
expressions of opinion and not for
acts of violence against persons or
property. House joint resolution No.
60 recommending amnesty has been
before the committee since last April
without action.
The hearing was requested by the
joint amnesty committee of the
American Civil Liberties Union, which
appeared before Chairman Volstead
and other members of the judiciary
committee and stated that informa-
tion never before presented on these
cases was now in hand and that spe
cial witnesses and investigators are
ready to testify.
In their statement asking for a
hearing the committee made these
points:
(1) The completion of every step
necessary to bring the war formally
to an end and the repeal of the es-
pionage act has materially changed
the position of the war prisoners.
(2) None of the prisoners could
now be convicted for the offenses for
which they are serving sentences as
high as twenty years.
(3) The release of other war time
offenders by an act of executive
clemency has established the fact
that sentences inflicted in time of
war have been considered excessive
when viewed from a peace timebasis.
(4) Appeals taken in the case of
SO of the men in Leavenworth, re-
suited in reversal of all counts of
overt acts originally charged, leaving
all cases in the same position before
the law as the cases of men who
have been released.
90 The cases of the prisoners still
in Jail were not included among the
two hundred in which the sentences
were reduced Immediately following
the armistice because many of these
cases were then pending in the courts
on appeal.

The "Flapper"

(By Charley L. Cant, Editor Beach
comber)
You can see her on the highway,
You can meet her on the byway,
You can find her in the theater and
church,
In her little flipper snapper
OF rig she calls the flapper;
She is showing it from every pew
and perch,
She is on the street a gadding
In her flipper flapper padding,
And the beauty parlor blush is on
her face.
No matter where you put her,
She's a-going single footer;
Whether sweet sixteen or sixty, she's
an ace.
When a flipper flapper creature
Meets the pious village preacher
1t makes his heart beat Woodward
through his prayers.
And the deacon fairly Frances,
When he thinks the congregation
unawares.
Once the ladies used to tussle
With the crinolinc and bussle,
The gigantic and unhandy Grecian
bend,
Balloon and bloomer flarems,
Their hobble skirts and harems,
But this flipper flapper thing is sure
the end.
l don't see how the dickens
One can tell the hens from chick
ems,
With this flipper flapper makeup
and the paint.
On the street. with bushes mixey.
Whether sweet sixteen or sixty,
They look like newborn angels-but
they amt.

PROPOSED BONUS
BILL ATTEMPT TO
SWINDLE VETS
AMERICAN LEGION HAS ONLY
$4,000 MEMBERS; $4,000 FOR
MER OFFICERS

The pending veterans adjusted
compensation measure is the Amer
lean Legion's gold brick bonus BILL"
Marvin Gates Sperry, national pres
ident of the Private Soldiers and
Sailors Legion, told President Hard
ing in letter made public today at
Legion headquarters here. A similar
letter was sent to Chairman Fordney
of the house ways and means COM
mittee. and Senator McCumber, chair
man of the senate finance committee.
This deformed infant is a child
of the American Legion, and not of
congress. MacNider admits they
wrote the bill
"The American Legion" declared
doze the president and congress into
passing this legislation. They are
trying to bully congress with threats
of their votes next November, but
the fact is that the American Legion
claiming a membership of millions
really has about 100000 paying men,
bers, and nearly 100000 of these are
former officers. Their threat of po-
litical vengeance on congressman
who do not support their plans is
ludicrous. for they have carefully
magnified their alleged political
power about ten times.
"The proposed so-called bonus
bill" continued Sperry, "is an at
tempt to swindle the veterans by the
ex-officer clique that is running the
American Legion.
"If the bill is enacted into law,
when the veterans find out what it
really means to them, and the great
mass of veterans do not understand
the terms of the bill, they will be the
maddest men in the United States,
and they, not the American Legion
members, will resent the legislation
at the polls next November. The
American Legion. with this bunco
bill. is planning to hurt the Repub-
lican party and at the same time
steer the former service men into ac
cepting adjusted compensation which
is of slight value to them. None of
the veterans will be satisfied with a
cash payment of $50, which the bill
provides.
What the boys from the trenches
want is cash bonus of $500 per
man, and no special tax is neces-
to to- about IS $4,000 600, 900. The profit
GERS should pay this, for they made
immense fortunes while the soldiers
were fighting their battles in France.
According to treasury reports, one
profiteer, on an investment of S.
600, made in one year during the war
S14,S26,000. This is the type of
man who should help to pay a real
cash bonus. The war profiteers made
more than eighteen billions of dol
lars and they are the ones who
should now reimburse the former
service men for their wages lost
while the service men were fighting
for the profiteers."

CHAPTER VI

The morning papers were full of
Jack Marion's arrest, as the son of a
well-known millionaire manufacturer
Special editions were issued and re-
porters detailed to interview the per-
sons most intimately concerned in the
case. AS public opinion had been
against Barry. so was it now directed
against the latest suspect, notwith-
standing the fact that all proofs of his
guilt were at best but circumstantial
There were still few, however, who
held to the theory that il was the valet
and none other who should be arrest
ed. 1t was argued that after Mr.
Marion had left the house the ex-con-
vict had killed Mr.. Whitmore. and had
opened the window in order to direct
suspicion upon an outsider. A mo-
tive for his deed nor the fact that a
large sum of money was in the safe
was untouched, did not trouble these
theorists in the least. Barry was the
criminal, that was all that mattered
70 them. Even /, the murdered mans
