Robert NJ. Washburn, president OF
the club, to send representative tC
occupy a place on the platform. AS
result, Mr.. Butler will be alone with
Mr.. Washburn and the two speakers.
One explanation of Mr.. Stearns

AID FOR DISTRICT
PENSIONERS FAILS
Gen. Lord Tells President
1928 Money Cannot Be
Paid 1000 Dependents.

President Coolidge was advised to-
day by Gen.. Herbert M. Lord, director
of the budget, that in solving the prob
lens of paying the pensions Of Federal
employees to meet the grave situation
aa a result of the failure to pass the
second deficiency bill at the last ses-
sion of Congress, no way has been
found to care for the more than 1000
pensioners of the District Govern
ment.
The director of the budget said at
the White House today that the ques-
ton has been studied carefully, and
the matter of extending relief to the
local pension claimants remains un'
solved, and that he personally doubts
very much if the situation can be
helped.
Plan Held Illegal.
His information is that the plan
to permit drafts upon the 1928 bud
get fund as means of paying the
Federal Government pensioners can
not be applied legally to the District
pensioners.
Gen. Lord said that his opinion is
based upon informal information re-
ceived from the controller generals
office. Controller General McCarl,
whose ruling permits the preparing Of
drafts upon the 1928 budget for Fed
eral pensioners, has informally held,
according to Gen. Lord, that it would
be illegal to apply it to the local pen.
sioners. However that was Mr.. Nc.
Carrs informal opinion. His definite
decision will be made probably within
the next day or so.
The controller generals formal rul.
ing will be in response to a request
from the District of Columbia Com
missioners to pass upon the subject of
extending relief to the local pen
sioners.
President Disappointed.
President Coolidge was keenly dis.
appointed at the failure to pass the
second deficiency bill. and he lost no
time in directing his assistants to
make a survey of the situation with a
view to determining some method of
extending relief.
Because of the Presidents interest
and of his realization of the suffering
among the local pensioners If they
must go without their monthly sums,
it is thought likely that he will take
some action in the interests of the To-
cal pensioners, in the event Controller
General McCarls decision is adverse
Just what action he can take Is not
known at this time. Gen. Lord, who
has made a careful analysis, is doubt
full If the Federal Government can be
Of any assistance.

What Price Glory.

Beginning Sunday matinee. the big fea-
ture film. based on the famous play,
What Price Glory" will be shown at Polls
Theatre, Washington, for a second week.
As surprise to the theatregoers who saw
the Sailing and Andersons war play. the
picture version will be revelation. In every
scene it unfolds comedy dominates, and
1t is comedy of the most uproarious kind.
While the picture has all of the thrills,
heart-throbs. pulsing moments that the
story calls for. in this version it rather
takes the side that the American soldier
can play just as hard as he can fight. As
a matter Of fact there isn't a doughboy
who went to France who didn't have a
mighty good time Of it, War is used as a
background. and there are scenes of attack
and conflict given with rare realism and
accentuated with the rumble of artillery
and the noise of banage.
The picture begins the story in Shanghai.
carrying it to the Philippines and then into
France. where Flase and Sergeant Quirt
are invariably seen in their quarrel over a
girl. The quarrel always ends with bugle

time in pictures that the professional SOL

tiful production. masnihcently directed by
Raoul Walsh. The part Of Captain Flag
will be played by Victor McLaglen. who
himself was a soldier the part Of Sergeant
