Republican Caucus De-
cides to Press Al
lied Debt First.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Decision to
press first the allied debt refunding
bill and next soldiers bonus bill, was
reached Wednesday by republican sen
ators in their first conference of TINS
session of congress. A second con
ference was called for Thursday to
discuss details of the two measures.
Opposition TO a soldiers bonus oIli
developed. but it was announced off
cially that the motion to place this
legislatino second in the list Was car
ried by "a large majority. Ehmina
ton by the finance committee OF the
requirement in the allied debt bill for
semi annual payment of interest on the
bonds to be accepted from the foreign
debtor nations also was discussed. but
a decision on this was deferred.
1t was reported that the vote in
favor of passing bonus bill was 81
to ., with several opponents of such
legislation withholding their votes.
While the conference did not approve
the pending bill, some republican lead
ers said the measure to be passed un-
doubtedly would follow the general
principles Of the measure now before
the finance committee.
Discussion Is on Source of Funds
Spokesman took pains to make it
clear that the majority senators had
declared for "a bonus bill and not the
particular bill referred back to the
senate finance committee last July on
the recommendation of President Hard
ing. Some leaders said, however, that
the measure undoubtedly will be similar
to that one in so far as the five ways
, Of payment of adjusted compensation
were concerned.
Most of the bonus discussion centered
around means of providing necessary
funds. Some senator's favored meas
ure carrying merely an obligation
against the government with payments
to be made out of current receipts as
money was available, but it was said
that the preponderance of sentiment
was for specific provision that the
financing be done with funds derived
from the sale of refunded British bonds
in the United States.
This brought up the question of q
sales tax or some other special taxa
tion. proponents of sales tax arguing
that some such plan would be neces-
sary to bridge the gap between the
time of the passage of the bonus leg
, islation and the time that funds from
the sale of the refunded British bonds
would become available.
|. General speeding up of the work OF
the senate also was said to have been
/ discussed with suggestions for day and
night sessions of the finance commit.
| tee.
Aside from the allied debt refundins
bill and the bonus measure, the senate
will have before it the four-powel
treaty, the tariff bill and all annual
supply measures, as well as other i'm.
portant matters. With congressional
election next November and warn
campaign in prospect, many members
of congress wish to get away from
Washington around June /.

man, and three women who had no i'm
mediate relatives in the service. We
find that the veterans welfare COM
mission at different times employed
throughout the state between % and
81 persons, all of whom were ex-serv-
ice men.
Retained for Ability
In regard to the employees of the
commission, the committee finds that
only one man who was an ex-service
man called at the office of the COM
mission inquiring for position as q
stenographer and that he did not call
this matter to the attention of any OF
the commissioners. The report con-
sidersl the special case OF woman
employed as assistant to the secretary
of the commission at salary Of $2ot
per month. This woman, it is said, had
no immediate relatives in the service
This woman. it was stated, was re-
tanned in her position because of her
ability and knowledge Of welfare work
However, the report states:
1T is the belief of your committee
that these requirements could have
been found in man who had seer
service in the army or navy after nc
had first been given a month or two oi
training in the office and it is the be-
lief of your committee that the most
pertinent reason for the commission
not having supplanted the present oc-
cupant of the position of assistant tt

Persimmon beer is here. That season

this drink, when properly made, is de-
licious, is suggestive of a few other
things that a tired, hungry editor
longs to see. 1t is suggestive, first OF
all, of the ginger cakes, like our

brown home affairs that really had q
flavor Of ginger in them-ginger that
must have been gathered when the
ginger crop was at its best. 1t sug-
gests the season of the s4possum and

nunity life Is astir by the fumes from
the baking pan. Did you know that
'Ipossum am good?" 1t is, when
properly prepared, a meat that is un-
equaled, especially If you barricade the
brown ribs and fieaks of flesh with
several big yellow yams-yams that
can be seen partly in and partly out
