none the less that pensioners cling to
the rolls a surprisingly long time. The
last survivor of the Revolutionary war
did not die until 1869, and on June 80,
1910, the pension lists still contained
the name of one daughter of a Revo-
lutionary soldiers, the daughters hav-
ing been pensioned by special acts OF
congress. At the close of the fiscal
year 1915-1916 there were lis widows
of veterans Of the War of 1912 still
drawing pensions from the govern
ment, while on the same date there
were 1928 Mexican war pensioners on
the rolls, 513 of these being survivors
and the others, widows. AS for Civil
war veterans and their widows and de-
pendents who are still pensioners,
their name is legion, and the govern
ment is disbursing approximately $240,-
100000 to them each year.

bond issues and the taxpayers of the
various commonwealth will not real
ize fully the burdens they have as
sumed until the bonds come due and
must be redeemed or refunded That
will be the time when it is most likely
that proposal will be heard to shunt
the load off on Uncle Sans broad
shoulders. OF course it is improbable
that such a scheme would get by as
long as only % States are interested,
but if sufficient number of the other
states place themselves in the bonus
column it would be no difficult matter
to get the requisite votes for the con-
gressional action indicated.
What the States Pay
Allowances by the states to the vet
Grams take various forms and are of
varying amounts. They include pen
sions for the sick and wounded, assist
ance for educational and vocationa;
training and cash bonuses. The latter
are based on length of service and
range from so cents to 81 per day,
with maximum payments of from S100
to $500.
In connection with state action along
this line and the proposed federal
bonus it is interesting to review the
rewards of war heroes dating back to
early colonial days. The New England

in the invasion of Canada were paid q

POLITICAL KETTLE
IN ARABIA BOILING
WITH MUCH ACTION
fBy AssocIated Press


JERUSALEM. July 19.-The Trans
jordania country has been invaded by
Ibn Saoud. Sultan of Nejd, and leader
of the powerful Wahabi tribe. Saoud
has declared hostilities against Abdul
lab Emir of Transjordania, and at the
head of 10000 well-armed Arabs he Is
within four-hours march of Amman,
the capital Of Transjordania. which is
about so miles east Of Jerusalem.
This invasion came without any
warning the latter part of May. and it
has added materially to the turbu-
lence of Anglo-French relations in this
part of the world. 1t has brought to
light what is alleged to be a secret
treaty concluded some three months
ago between Saoud and representa-
tives of the French Republic.
Emir Abdullah realized at once the
seriousness OF this move by the Wa
habis, whose home territory is in the
central part of the Arabian peninsula,
and did two things; sent delegation
to Saoud to negotiate peace, and in
formed the Palestine government of
the true state of affairs. Mr.. Phylby
British representative in ANNA, and
General Ghalib Pacha. composing the
delegation to the Wahabis, were
seized by Saoud's followers and re-
leased only after very strong repre-
sensations to the Wahabis from Sir
Wyndham Deeds, the British acting
High Commissioner in Palestine.
Saoud is still encamped within short
distance Of Amman.
Treaty Negotiation
The alleged secret treaty with
France is said to have been negotiated
by Wahabi named Mohammed Pacha
ell Osseimi 1t involves military and
political relations and is aimed against
Great Britain and her proteges, King
Hussein of Hedjaz, King Feisul of

government recognizes the sovereign

ton and to support him if he is at.
tackled by the governments OF Hedjaz,
Mesopotamia or Transjordania. In
return Saoud engages to counterfeit
any tendency toward the formation
of an Arab confederation in the Arab
an peninsula under the guidance OF
Great Britain, and to help with troops
in case French soldiers in Syria arc
attacked by troops or irregular bands
from Mesopotamia or Transjordania.
It will be recalled that Ibn Saoud
last year declared war against Hus
sein, father of Emir Abdullah, anc
probably would have captured Mecca
had it not been for the timely inter
vention of Great Britain.

Revolutionary war came on volunteers
in the Continental army received small
grants of money and land from the
government, and as the enemy was
especially liberal in this respect a COM
petition developed that led Washing
ton at one time to fear the loss of his
army unless the congress was more
generous. The states gave bounties of
varying values, Virginia and New
York voting lands, but in 1880 there
came a crisis when Washington had to
offer 5000 each to retain his veterans,
and finally, in order to demobilize his
army in 1888, persuaded the Continen-
tai congress to give the officers bonus
equivalent to five years. full pay.
Washington himself, by the way, was
beneficiary of the land grants to
soldiers of the French and Indian war.
Lord Dunmore of Virginia was author
ICED to offer bounties of land to all
officers and soldiers who had served in
this war, the grants ranging from
5000 acres for field officers to 5000
acres to captains, zoo acres to sub.
alterns or staff officers and so acres
| to privates. Washington secured pat
ents in his own and other officers
names for $4,000 acres, of which his
own share was $4,000.
These grants were much larger thar
those promised officers and privates o.
the Revolutionary war when colonel:
were given 500 acres, majors 400, cap
tains 800, lieutenapts 200 and non-com
missioned officers and enlisted mel
100, while major generals received
100 acres and brigadiers $50 acres
Four thousand square miles, or $500
600 acres, including some IL countie
in northern Ohio, were set aside t
take care of these grants.
Four million acres of bounty land
were given to the soldiers of the Wa
of 1912, while to survivors of the Mex
can and Indian wars 1852, 450 acres o
the public domain were distributed VI
der 520,203 warrants Then came tn
Civil war and under the Act of 1856
land script worth $1.25 per acre wa
distributed for 100000 acres.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 19.-Will
the Federal government ever be called
upon to pay the bonuses voted by the
various states to veterans of the World
war? This question is suggested by
the fact that the congress once took
action of substantially that character
in connection with another war, and
because so many states have decided
to reward their soldiers of l917-191S.
Following the War of the Revolution
the first pensions which may be regard
ed as form of bonus were paid by the
various states, but in 1889 the congress
passed an act whereby the general gov
eminent assumed the payment of such
pensions as had been granted by the
states and this provision was contin-
ued by subsequent legislation. There
has been no suggestion as yet that the
burdens and obligations of the states
incident to the recent war be similarly
taken over, but one of these days some
worthy congressman may seek to en-
dear himself to the people back home
by proposing to dip into the federal
treasury for the funds that otherwise
must come from the state strong boxes.
To date IL of the states have paid
or are paying bonuses, while in three
others all the necessary steps have
been taken except the raising of the
money and in eight referendums are to
be taken on bonus legislation. In all
the bonus appropriations actually made
or proposed in these % states aggre-
gate considerably more than three
hundred million dollars-S331, 739, 900,
to be exact, according to departmental
figures available in Washington. This
is not a stupendous sum, as govern.
ment expenditures go these days, but
it represents substantial items in the
budgets of some of the states
Moreover. practically all this state

during the Civil war received cash
bounties, cities and states competing
with each other and with the federal
government, while many individuals
hired substitutes to take their places
at the front. BY 1865, owing to the
magnitude Of the war and the difficulty
of getting recruits, the gratuities which
volunteer could gather in amounted
TO as much as $1,000, and bounty
jumping" had become a business. A
man would enlist in one place under
one name. hurry to the front, collect
his bounty, desert and then so to an
other locality and repeat the perform
ance under another name Aside from
what the government paid out it is esti-
mated that local and state bounties in
this war amounted to more than $780,
900, 600.
When we come to the matter of pen
sions which are deferred bounties or
bonuses, it is found that prior to the
World war the government had dis
bursed grand total of $5,220,935, 393,
in addition to establishing and main
tanning soldiers homes. The number
of soldiers and sailors in the several
wars covered by this expenditure was !:
Revolutionary war, 1S4,038; War of
1912, 2s6,730; Mexican war, 7S,71S; In
dian wars, 83,993; Civil war, 2,213,363;
Spanish war $4,000; Philippines and
China 146,151 total, 3,304,993 The

PUTNAM HIGH WINS
CLOSE, HARD GAME
Defeats, 24-22, Plainheld Team
For the First Time Since
1916

For the first time since 1916. a Put
nam High school basket ball team has
defeated Plaiuiield on Plain6eld's
floor. Tuesday night the fast quintet
representing the local school won
from Plaintield High by a margin Of
two points in thrilling contest at the
Plainfield Community House, the
score being "a TO %.
At the end of the first half the score
stood i4-1l, in Plainield's favor.
Point by point both teams increased
their score until a tie, 22-22. was
reached with less than minute to
play. The seconds flew by without q
tally by either side, and just as the
whistle sounded, ending the game, the
ball swished through the basket from
the hands of Spencer. Putnam's
speedy forward. Immediately a con-
troversy arose as TO whether or not
the basket counted. and the referee
gave the decision that the two points
did count for Putnam, as the basket
was made before the whistle blew
The Plainfield authorities and players
proved themselves to be good sports
men by abiding by the referees ruling
without any further comment.
The contesting teams both played
an extremely hard, fast game, and the
contest was controlled unusually well
by Referee Smith Of Brown Univer-
sity, as no personal fouls were called
during the entire game, which is very
unusual for contest between the
rival schools. and speaks well for the
clean playing Of the players Of both
teams.
