Revenue Loss Is Heavy
This means that tax levies must
be raised to offset revenue losses
from decreased valuations.
Republican minority of the house
was defeated in a move to make a
20 per cent blanket reduction of all
costs-as provided in the bill before
being reported out of compittee.
James M. Knapp Of Hagerstown,

the larger reduction as an answer

The government cost reduction
will become effective Oct. l, if APP
proved by the senate.
With announcement of the state
valuation drop Showalter said that

ment is provisional within the
framework of world settlement of
the question of international debts.
3. So far as Herriot is concerned,
no further move will be made re-
. garding the debt situation until
after the presidential election in
the United States.
In his office at the Quai
D'Orsay, where the walls are hung
with costly tapestries, Herriot him
self offered contrast with the gold
and crystal atmosphere.
America Need Not Fear
He is sturdy and vigorous, a
plain French citizen, who pulled
hard on his pipe as he spoke with
Gallo earnestness to the writer and
manager of the United Press
bureau in Paris.
Herriot was informed that many
conflicting reports regarding the
Lausanne agreement had been, cir
culated abroad, and that the i'm
preston prevailed in some quarters
that France had an agreement with
Britain to act jointly in dealing
with the United States on war
debts.
America has no need to fear a
European bloc to drive such bar
gain, the premier replied with
great emphasis, deploring the false
Statements attributed to him. He
emphasized that there is no such
agreement between Britain and
France.
The so-called "gentleman's agree
ment" at Lausanne, he explained,
was nothing more than an under
standing that the reparations settle
ment would not be effective, that
sacrifices to which France agreed
will not be made, unless there also
is an agreement among France,
Britain and the United States re-
garding the debt payments to
America.
Long Hard Road Back
There is no agreement or under
standing, he emphasized, tnaC
france and Britain shall present a
united front to the United States or
that a debt agreement may not be
made between Britain and the
United States entirely independent
of France.
Herriot said that, so far as he is
concerned, no further move Will be
made regarding the debt situation
until after the United States presl-
dental election.
He explained in vigorous language
that the feeling that European ma
tions are presenting the United
States with an accomplished fact"
on the debts, is based on miscon-
ception.
The Lausanne proceedings, he
said, were in line with what was I'M
derstood to be the desire OF the
United States that Europe put its
house in order before any change
could be made in the debt settle
ment terms.
Europes way back to normally is
long road and for the journey,
much hard labor is required, the
premier said in letting it be known
he would remain at his desk all
summer, without vacation.

StraggIers Routed by Police
on Hoover'S Orders to
Keep Them Moving.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, July 30.-Police
routed the stragglers of the bonus
army today-an army that had
flags but no permanent baSe-while
government officials gathered evil
dence intended TO prove that most
of the beSiegerS were not veterans,
but Communists.
United States army troops, who
used tanks, gas, bayonets and ma
chine guns to convince the bonus
expeditionary forces members they
should leave, completed their as
signment by burning scattered
bonus camps that escaped the fire
Thursday night.
Police estimated at a. m. that
about 400 men had been rounded
up and escorted out of the city.
Walter w. Waters, erstwhile COM
mander of the bonus army, ap-
pealed to the few remaining vet
Grams to leave the city by noon.
The veterans hurried across
Maryland, into Johnstown, Pa, by
highway and byway, anywhere to
escape the prodding of state po-
lice, local police, and army forces
who had been ordered to keep
them moving"
Hoover Orders Full Cleanup
The district authorities were
moved to such activity by President
Hoover's letter to them in which he
made it plain that he expected the
police to strictly enforce every
ordinance of the district in every
part of the city"
Also at President Hoover's direc-
ton, local and federal authorities
were investigating alleged Com
munistic activities.
The administration blamed Com.
munists for the rioting which the
President said caused him to call
out the, troops.
The department of justice ap-
peared certain that Communists
aided in the rioting, and probably
caused it.
PaGrlcK hurley, war secretary, eX-
pressed the same sentiments.
General Douglas Macarthur, chief
Of staff, said not more than one in
ten of the bonus army was a vet
eran.
Denies Men Were Communists
Oscar Luhring, supreme court
justice, in charging the grand jury
which will investigate the rioting,
expressed the hope that the jurors
would find the rioters were mainly
Communists and other disorderly
clements"
Commander Waters of the bonus
army, disputed all claims that the
force he commanded was dominated
by Communists. He claimed not
more than 500 were Communistic
and they were members of cleft
wing" group, not under his COM
mand.
I'VE checked the service record of
every man." he said.
And the casualty list of bonus
army victims as compiled by police,
when checked against service rec
ords, so far has failed to show a
single bonus army victim of the
rioting was not veteran. The
check is not complete.
