possible to forecast the probable
rise in the lower Mississippi until
the extent of the rainfall was deter

The gauge at Memphis stood at
approximately 41.5, with the river
rising at the rate of about 0.S feet
a day. The crest of the present
flood in the Mississippi reached
Cairo, H., last night, when the
gauge showed $50. Rainfall above
Cairo is expected to bring another
rise within a few days, according to
Weather Bureau officials. The crest
of the present high water is expect
ed at Memphis Thursday night or

BONUS SBACKERS
CLAIM SENATE
NILLPASS BILL.
Believe That Enactment is
Assured Before ADJ
journment of Session
OPPOSITION SMALL
Less; Than One-Third Against Passage
is Report-Fight TO be Waged on
ertificate Provision.

W. shington. March 2I.-Passage
of a soldier bonus measure by the
Senate before the adjournment Of this
session appears to be assured sup
rorters of the bill claim.
i careful canvass OF the situation
discloses that there are not more than
25 or 80 Senators likely 10 vote
against such legislation.
This minority OF less than one-third
may be expected to take full advar-
tage of the greater latitude of opposl-
ton and obstruction which obtains in
the Senate, compared with the House,
but a two-thirdS majority can work
its will even in the Senate.
II is too early TO say whether the
main features of the House bill VIII
be accepted by the other body. That
some Of the subsidiary provisions will
be changed is foregOnc conclusion.
and a determined fight will be made
to eliminate the entire certificate
loans provision, 10 restore the cash
bonus and to provide for some meth
cd Of raising the necessary funds
within the near future.
The House bill is now in the hands
Of the Senate Finance Committee. and
Chairman McCumber plans to begin
its consideration as soon as the tariff
bill is reported to the Senate. The
rommittec expects TO finish reoraft-
ing the tariff bill this week 50 that the
way will he cleared tn take up the
bonus bill in the committee by next
week
Senator McCumber is not prepared
TO state his views Of the House bill
comprchcnsivply. but he cites the plan
Of the land reclamation option as one
of the provisions which the committee
may deem it necessary TO revise rad
ically. He has been impressed by
Administration opinion that this feat
ure is visionary. According to Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon. the land
reclamation option would afford no
immediate henefit to eX-scrvlce men
selecting il. and might cost the Gov
crnmcnt in the end about SlS,0O0,
000. 900
That NJ. McCunbcr may throw the
weight Of his influence against the
certificate loan plan nt the House Dill
is deemed not improbable in view of
his attitude from the start that an
amuln cash bonus should be provided
Immediately. He has looked with ia
vor upon provision 10 finance the
bonus from the payments of interest
hv the allies on their debts to the
United States.
This suggestion is bound to be re-
vivcd in the committee as result OF
the British budget provision for the
payment next fall Of interest on the
American $I.0O0,0 900 loan to Eng
land. On account. however. of the
general uncertainty OF the volume of
rccciptS from foreign loan interest
there will be strong opposition to this
method Of financing the bonus.
Senator Smoot. a member Of the FL
nance Committee, is going to make
fight for the financing Of cash bonus
hv u sales tax. The sales tax is stub
bornlv opposed bv labor and the
farmers. and Mr.. Smoot IS not likely
to make any more progress with his
proposal in this case than he did IN
his effort TO include it in the revenue
bill last year.

JUDGE BRENT
REVERSED
Supreme Court of Appeals Enters
Judgment in Favor of Wash
ingtOn-Virginia Ry. Co.

Richmond, Va, March 27.-Thc
Supreme Court of Appeals reversed
the judgment for $4,000 entered by
the Circuit Court of Arlington County
in the case of the administration of
Julia Della Struder, deceased, VS.. the
Washington Virginia Railway Co..
Judge Jesse f. West handed down the
unanimous opinion of the court, which
held that there was no negligence on
the part of the Railway Company, but
that the contributing negligence of
the deceased was the cause Of the ac-
cidcnt which resulted in her death.
This decision is of great Importance
to the public. in that it renders it well
nigh impossible in the future for a
pedestrian to claim damages for in
iuries received at railroad crossing,
even though the crossing be OBJ
structed.

House BILL
MAY CHANGE
NAVAL RATIO
Proposal to Limit Navy Per-
sonnel to $4,000 In
All
BRITISH is DOUBLE
Plan Would Bring L. S. Navy Down
Practically to Size of the Jap
aneSe.

Washington, March 27.-Although
the British and American navies are
to be equal and the American Navy
two fifths greater than the Japa-
nese navy under the Arms Confer
ence treaty, the United States.
under the proposal pending in the
House, would be unable to man a
navy as large as the British and
only a trifle larger than the Japa-
nese.
The Naval Affairs Committee pro-
poses to limit the American navy
personnel to $4,000 officers and men.
The British navy now totals l40,65S,
and it is proposed to reduce this
force by March 81. 1923, to 1l7,75S,
consisting, of 9S,500 British navy
and marines, 7.2S9 colonial navy
personnel, and 1l,aG9 aviation per-
sonnel.
The japanese navy personnel is
now s2,34O, consisting Of 9,0SS Off
GERS mad 1882. There are no ma
rines in the Japanese navy. The
japanese propose to cut their Off
Ger personnel 500 and their enlisted
personnel 5000.
Even after the reduction the Jap
anese would be able to man every
ship they are allowed to retain un-
der the treaty and still have 80 per
cent Of their force available for
shore establishments, aviation and
training.
With only $4,000 officers and men,
however, the United States will be
compelled to tie up so many ships
that the treaty ratio of 5 ) 3 would
be destroyed and the American Navy
would be reduced nearly to the level
permitted the japanese.
