Miller, alien property cus- todian, that high treasury official' admitted that department estimates on the bonus were "juggled" to deceive. and by Representative Benjamin l.. Fairchild, republican, of New York, that Secretary Mellon "misled'' the late. President Harding and ..now is misleading President Coolidge" were made at bonus meetings under Amer ican Legion auspices today.
 Mir. Miller did not name any off cial of the treasury but Representative Fairchild specified that the head of the treasury had 'misled' as to the deficit of over S60O,OOO,OOO, which prevented President Harding. perhaps more than any other feature, from signing the bonus bill.''
 ';As it turned out" he added, "they were $300.0O0,000 ahead.'
 Mir. Miller said Congress was not emphasizing now that from the buck privates' pay of $50 month, $780, 100000 in liberty bonds were purchas- ed and that $300000,0O0 in allotments were paid
 But they do tell you" he said, that the government cannot afford to pay these same men any compensation whatsoever"

FAME TO EXTERNAL,
 ROBINSON SAYS
Was More Popular At Death Than At His
 Greatest Hour

BALTIMORE, Feb. 17.-So weighty were the issues and so important were the events with which Woodrow Will sons name is forever associated that it seems probable that his shadow will grow rather than shrink as the cen turies go by, Senator Robinson, of Arkansas. the democratic leader in the Senate, declared here today in a Will son memorial address. ...
 At the hour of his death," Senator Robinson said, "Mr. Wilson was more popular and beloved than at the time of his greatest hour. He was growing in favor with the masses who realized the great sacrifice for them their cham pion had made. Months before he died his enemies had ceased outspoken cen sure and had come to criticize him only in whispers.
 "On that eternity of fame where only master spirits abide let him be remembered for his services to his fel- lowmen, for, after all, this is God S test when He permits His creatures to exchange mortality for immortality"
 Neutrality Policy Justified

 When the German government an- nounced it's purpose to resume sub marine warfare" Senator Robinson said. ."the President went to his room in the capitol. He summoned num- Der of senators and said:
 "'You know the situation in all it's details. I wonder what you are think ing l should do.'
 One senator replied:
 Give the German ambassador his passports and order him forthwith to leave the country
 Another declared: "I heartily approve of that sugges-

His features became pale and rigid. Drawing himself erect and cast ing a stern glance upon the crowd which had gathered whilesfhe consulta- tion was in progress, he said, in sub stance: =.

 Let us be done with diplomatic notes. The hour to act has come. We scarcely. can hope that Germany will recede. The German ambassador will be advised that unless immediate abandonment of the submarine policy is announced, his further presence in the United States ia r1nt desired D
