PROTESTS AGAINST BONUS
POURING IN ON CONGRESS
Tremendous Opposition Develops Throughout Country

compared with the sum necessary for
the bonus. We could have borne one
or more years of war on a gigantic
scale. and we were preparing to do so
when the armistice was signed. BY
bringing the war to a speedy close the
boys saved this nation vast treasures
compared with which what we propose
to give them in deferred compensation
for service is SMALL
The agricultural bloc and other men,
bers of the Senate and the House are
greatly perplexed over the bonus issue.
They find themselves in a jam between
two contending forces. The soldiers and
their relatives and friends are on the
one side; the trade organizations and
many farmers on the other. However,
members of Congress are committed to
pass the bonus bill, and there Is no
indication that the leaders will revise
their program because OF protests.
The House Ways and Means Commit
tee will begin hearings tomorrow to
consider ways to raise funds for the
benus.
Considerable study will be given by
the committee to the sales tax and data
along this line will be requested of ex-
perts of the Treasury Department so
that it may be learned IL there are
any new sources of taxation which
might have been overlooked in the gen.
eral tax measure.

Shortly before 80 o'clock the next

physician found him suffering severe
neuralgia pains again in the back and

CARDINALS FOLLOWING
RULES OF THE CHURCH

The import of certain news dispatches
from Rome concerning the forthcoming

the Catholic Club last night. Referring
to some dispatches he said they SAVIOR
of political campaign. He continued /:
"As matter of fact the Cardinals are
merely following the rules Of the church.

In connection with report on Ger

Minister, who was a candidate for the
post Of German Ambassador In Wash
ington, has informed the Chancellor he
would not accept that post, THE New
YORK HERALD correspondent here learns.
This action by DR.. Hermes Is said to
be due to a confidential hint from WASH
ington received in German Government
circles that the United States would pre-
fer some other person as the head of the
German Embassy here.
Before choosing new candidate for
Ambassador to the United States the
German Government will await the ap-
pointment of an American Ambassador
