SERVICES IN STORM FOR
LAST OF SOLDIER DEAD
Chaplain Discovers Three Old
Friends.

Memorial services for the last of the
soldier dead from France were held yes
terday at the army base, Brooklyn,
through the worst of the storm. The
bodies, brought back by the army trans
port Cantigny, Included several from the
American Army of Occupation in Ger
many, but most of them were men who
died in France.
The services were under the auspices
of the American Legion and the veter-
ans of Foreign Wars. The Rev. Thomas
z. Swami and Father A e. Dineen,
army chaplains of Fort Totten and Fort
Hamilton respectively. offciated.
The Rev. Mr.. Swami. who has offici-
ated at most of the memorial services
for returned dead, was surprised to find
that three bodies which had been placed

were too honest to accept 1t, and l
believe when the mass of the American
people understand the iniquitous terms
and conditions in the bill they will
follow the press of America and will
themselves repudiate it."
Due to the approaching holidays there
was barely a quorum in the Senate
to vote on the wheat rate, but 1t car
ried ss to ~. The rate on wheat in
the Payne-Aldrich bill was Is cents a
bushel, and that same rate was writ
ten into the bill in the House. The
Senate agricultural bloc changed the
rate to 30 cents. and 1t was admitted
IN the debate that 1t would send up
the price of wheat Just that much
more.
Spring wheat, grown In the North
west, Is affected by the tariff. This
means that only about 5 per cent of the
wheat growers will be benefited by the
increase price. 1t Is the spring wheat
not the winter wheat. which comes into
competition with Canadian wheat. The
opponents of the bill charged. however.
that millers would use the tariff to adj
vance the price of flour, passing 1t along
to the bakers to raise the price of bread.
The Senate adopted dozen other
paragraphs In the tariff bill. all of these
relating, however, to items far less I'M
portant than wheat They were the
rates on berries cherries, citrons, figs.
peaches and pears, pineapples, piums,
onions and jellies. They brought little
debate. AS rule. the rates We're In
creases over those in the bill as passed
by the House.
The idea that had been gaining ground
during the last week. in which conlpara-
lively good progress has been made with
the tariff bill, that the measure would be
finished by the Senate within month
was dashed to-day when Senator La
Toilette (Wis), Republican, let 1t be
known that he intends to make fight
on the steel, wool and cotton schedules.

of the glaring examples of the policy

the Senate on March 4 next, in con-
sequence of his defeat in the North
Dakota elections of Tuesday, he will
still be fighting the battles of the
