BERLIN, January 27-Complete
disorganization prevails on the rail-
way system In the occupied area, ac-
cording to advices from. Essen, as a
result of the Intervention OF the
French and the resultant walkout of
the German railway employees.
Most OF the regularly scheduled
trains already lrayeaceased running,
while the others continue to arrive
several hours late. AS the French do
not understand the German block
signal and switching system. the
dispatches say, they freely resort to
the use OF crowbars. with which the
switches are forcibly pried open, thus
running the trackage and causing
frequent .derailments.
Strikers to BE Paid.
The German railway employees
who are not working will be guaran-
teed regular wages by tho German
government which also, 1t Is under
stood, agrees to indemnify all Ger
man citizens in the civil service for
damages or injuries suffered because
OF the French occupation.
Orders issued by the French MILL
tary authorities directing local re-
tail merchants to serve the occu-
pational forces are being generally
ignored. it is said. and shopkeepers
In all lines Of trade have virtually

Julius Schikoff is missing again.
To many it probably doesn't make

not. Hundreds of boys of fourteen
leave their homes daily because
they are maltreated. But it is an
other story with julius.
Julius has a penchant for singing
and even now may be earning his
bread by his voice. He is sort Of
O. prodigy, they say, but never has
he had the chance to prove it, and
for this reason he no doubt took
what he thought the easiest course.
The last time julius was found
with a pocketful of coins singing
In Baltimore cabaret. Other
times he was picked up in local
barrooms making the walls ring
with his sOnorous voice-and his
leans crammed with dole.
Then the law interviewed. The
boy had been missing entirely too
many days at school, it said, and is
a delinquent. He was arraigned in

He has broken his trust though.

General MaScOtte. former military
commander of the state of Oaxacd,
was ordered to reinforce the federal
army at the head of 1000 men, but
instead went over to the rebels.
Credence is given the report because
of the arrest of Colonel Marroquln,

BONUS HALTED
BY GREEN
Head of Ways and Means Calls
Off Meeting of Com
mittee.
By A. o. HAYWARD,
international News Service.

Immediate action giving the sob
diers bonus right of way over tG~
reduction legislation in Congress
was prevented today when Con-
gresham William r. Green. Re-
publican of Iowa called off sched-
uled meeting of the House Ways and
Means Committee. of which he is
chairman.
Bonus supporters in the commit
tee. led by Congressman Rainey,
Democrat of Illinois, and Frear,
Republican of Wisconsin were pre-
pared to offer a resolution putting
the bonus bill ahead of the Mellon
tax reduction plan on the legisla-
tive program. They claimed to
have sufficient backing among the
Democrats and Republicans on the
committee TO carry their plan over
the protest of Chairman Green and
other proponents Of President Cool
idge's opposition to the bonus.
Green announced, however, that
no meeting Of the committee would
be held until he had had an oppor-
tunity to talk over the bonus and
tax situation with his Republican
colleagues on the committee. He
Immediately launched a series of
separate conferences with the Re
publican committee members.
Bonus to Come First.
Despite the announced opposition
of President Coolidge and Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon to the
bonus, many members Of the House
think that the question of compen
G,
should be taken up and disposed Of
at once, pointing out that it is
necessary to determine whether
there is to be soldiers bonus and
the amount of cash payments to be
made before a decision can be
reached as to the extent of pro-
posed cuts in Federal taxes.
The bonus bill brought before the
committee was similar i'm every re-
spect to that passed by Congress
at the last session and vetoed by
President Harding.
Although similar unfavorable
action on the bonus is expected
from President Coolidge, bonus sup
porters in both houses declare that
they have more than enough votes
to pass the bill. even over q Presl-
dental veto, and they want to go
ahead and get the bonus out Of the
way before they take up the Ad-
ministration plan to slash $500 ,000,-
900 from the nations tax bill.
Can Pass Over Veto.
Representatives of the American
Legion who have been working at
the Capitol in behalf of the bonus
assert that 800 House members and
sixty-eight Senators are pledged
to the bonus and will stick to over
ride a Presidential veto. Their es-
Inmates are confirmed substantially
even by Administration leaders in
the Senate and House who will lead
the Coolidge drive against the leg
islation.

France Denies She Is

On Debt Funding
INTERNATIONAL, NEws, aEGL

PARIS, Dec. 18.-France has
made no new proposals TO
Washington regarding frances
war debt to the United States,
it was formally stated at the
foreign office today.
Officials said they believed
the report that France was
considering a funding plan
upon a 2 per cent basis arose
from an erroneous interpreta-
ton of an article written by
an American for a French
paper.
France will not consider the
debt question until the repara-
tions issue is settled.
