ARMY'S EVICTION
METHODS LAUDED
Troops Praised for Human
ity" in Bonus Crisis by AS
sistant War Secretary.

On the 143rd anniversary of the
founding OF the War Department
Assistant Secretary Frederick H. Payne
yesterday afternoon told New York
audience how the United States Army
routed the bonus army In the National
Capital without firing a shot.
1t was gala occasion for the Army,
whose anniversary was observed with
special exhibition in the metropolis and
Col. Payne was welcomed by military
group and Major Walker at City Hall
Thence the party proceeded to the
reproduction of historic Federal Hall,
the first Capitol of the United States,
in Bryant Park, where the exercises
we're held.
Sees Humane Conduct.
In his address Col. Payne outlined
the peace time services Of the Army,
including pioneering, construction, re-
lief work and research. He then paid
tribute to the troops for their
humanity" in dispensing the bonus
marchers telling first of their as
semblage in Washington.
With the adjournment of Congress
many of the more substantial among
them began to leave Washington" he
said. They were replaced 10 some
extent by newcomers, many Of whom
we're not ex-soldiers and among whom
was a large seditious element.
Organized efforts were made to in
fame the bonus marchers against the
national and local governments, and
against their own chosen leaders"
Not a Shot Was Fired.
After recalling the expeditions way
in which the bonus marchers were
routed after the troops had bsen called,
he said
In all this time not shot was fired.
No one was seriously hurt, and reports
of superficial injuries to civilians re-
main unverified. The conduct of the
soldiers was exemplary. All humanity
was used toward the bonus marchers
at every stage Of the operation.
Thus ended an event, In many re-
spects unique in our history, but char
scterized for the Army, as representa-
tive Of the Executive power, by ira
ditional devotion to our national inter-
ests and by moderation and good judg-
ment in the handling Of a funda-
mentally unpleasant mission"

Republican leaders of that body soon
after his arrival in Washington, and it
was not long before he was taken in by
the group controlling the party in the
lower branch Of Congress. He became
one of "Uncle Joe" Cannon's chief lieu
tenants, and was a real power when he
retired from Congress.
Burke was appointed to codify the
navigation laws of the United States
and for a while was counsel for the
agricultural department Of the State Of
Pennsylvania. For many years he was
chief counsel for the Chamber of Com
merce of Pittsburgh and had been the

burgh and had a wide acquaintance
and a unique position not only in his
home town but in the Capital City and
at Palm Beach. He and Mrs. Burke

LONDON PRAISES sTIMsoN.
SecretAry's PrOnOuncement Declared
Real Step" Toward Peace.

LONDON, August 9 Especially -
American reputation for craftsmanship
has gone up another peg. A lauditory
editorial in the London Times today de-
clares that Secretary of State Henry l..
Stimson's pronouncement that the Kel-
logg pact necessarily carries with it
the Implication of consultation be-
tween al its signatories when confront
ed with the prospect Of war, is "a real
step in the advance and in the organi-
zation of world peace"
The American people, says the Times,
are out to make the pact an "active
Principle OF international conduct" and,
j. adds, that is far better than any
written guarantees Of security or bind
ing obligations as to what nations
should do in circumstances that cannot
be foreseen.
The Manchester Guardian strikes the
same note and, hsiling Stimson's state
ment, says: 1T represents a change In
world opinion" The Guardian also
states that what Japan is doing in
Manchuria now was once hailed as glo-
rious and lauded in history books, and
that now at least such incidents Will be
too shady to be recognized In the best
circles"
SEEN AS GOOD WILL GESTURE.

CARTER ORDERS MEN SOUTH.
Tract in. Mexico May Be Leased Until
Bonus Is Paid.


HUNTINGTON. w. Va. August 9 Up.
"A transcontinental trek OF Jooless
World War veterans to a haven In
Mexico was planned last night
The plans for the trip were laid by
Doak Carter. leader of wing OF the
disbanded bonus army, upon receipt OF
an offer Carter says was mace by
Charles P. Reiniger of Los Angeles, to
turn a tract OF $4,000 acres OF land over
to the bonus marchers for colonization
Carter Immediately issued orders lor
his followers to head generally south
west and took steps to meet with
Reiniger in Columbus and sign lease
proposed by the landowner.
Called Fertile Land.
Described by Reiniger as fertile bot
tom land. the tract is situated IN the
state of Chihuahua, only few miles
across the Rio Grande- 1t Will be given
telegraphed offer, under lease wnlch
will run for one year, for five years. or
until the bonus is paid. Reiniger SAID
he would pay the taxes and let the
colonists keep the crops. Carter salo
he had not decided as yet what term OF
lease the veterans would prefer.
Meanwhile approximately $50 bonus
marchers who followed the former cnlei
of staff of the B. E. F. to Huntington
from Johnstown, Pa. where the Bonus
Army camp was broken up, headed out
of Huntington, presumably toward tne
West
Their departure followed a drive
launched by Police Chief Ben Robinson
against any persons in Huntington
without visible means Of support. TWO
men were arrested in the drive.
Will Oppose Hoover.
Carter denied that they were in any
Tav connected with his followers. whom
he estimated would total between 7.OOu
and 10000 veterans and their families
scattered throughout the country.
Selection OF the name American
Emergency Force" for his group was
announced by Carter coincident with
announcement that its primary purpose
had been changed. Heretofore, he SAID
they sought only to secure payment OF
the bonus but henceforth, their prl..
mary purpose will be to obtain rellet
and a livelihood for jobless veterans
and to oppose the reelection Of Presi-
dent Hoover.

BONUS TREK PLANS
STUDIED IN MEXICO
Decision on Admitting Amer
leans Due Soon-MoVe on
to Border Ordered.

MEXICO CITY, August [P).-A re-
quest of American World War veterans
from Huntington, w. Va, to establish
an agricultural colony in Mexico was
being studied last night by President
Ortiz Rubio and Foreign Minister
Manuel C. Telles, it was officially stated.
1T is not matter to be dealt with
lightly" said a statement issued by
Niceforo Guerrero, secretary to the
President
THE colonization of about 10000 men
involves the public interest. 1t also in
wolves the question of the renounce-
ment of citizenship rights. The Presl-
dent will announce his decision as
quickly as possible"
The remuneration of citizenship rights
does not necessarily mean that the
colonizers would have to become MeXi-
can citizens. 1t would mean, however
that they would need to agree to abide
by the laws of Mexico and not to inter-
pose diplomatic interceSsion in their be-
half in case of difficulties.

Warning Against Policy.

In careful sentences Mr.. Stimson
warns the Japanese against their ag-
gressive policy in Manchuria. He does
this incidentally while reviewing the
developments during the three years Of
existence of the pact OF Paris, and be-
gins his warning with the sentence that
we have been determined that the
new order represented by this great
treaty shall not fail"
The Secretary Of State then surveys
the various phases Of the Sino-JapaneSe
controversy and the role played by the
United States therein.
The American Government" he
SAYS. maintained its attitude Of SYM
pathetic cooperation with the efforts
of the Council of the League. and. act
ing independently through the diplo-
matte channels, endeavored to reinforce
the councils efforts at conciliation.
Finally. when. in spite of these efforts,
Japan had occupied all of Manchuria
the American Government formally no.
tified both that country and China on
January Z, 1892, that it would not rec
ognize any situation, treaty or agree
ment which might be brought about by
means contrary to the covenant and
obligs tions Of the pact of Paris. When
the American Government took the re-
sponsibility of senoing its note of jan
uary last 1t was pioneer. 1t was
appealing to a new sentiment and to
the provisions Of a treaty as yet un-
tested"
True situation Revealed
Then the Secretary Of State has these
sentences, which are likely to make
many q japanese leader think. He
says
Its own refusal to recognize the
fruits of aggression might be of COM
'paratively little moment to the aggres-
sor. But when the entire group of civil
lied nations took their stand behind the
position of the American Government
the situation was revealed in its true
sense. Moral disapproval, when 1t be-
comes the disapproval Of the whole
world, takes significance hitherto un-
known In international law"
There Is in the mild speech Of Mr..
Stimson only one direct thrust at Japan
"A nation which sought to mask i'm
perialistic policy under the guise OF the
defense Of its nationals would soon be
unmarked"
In diplomatic circles 1t is believed
that Secretary StimSon's address will
have reverberation throughout the
world. It Is for the first time that a
Government oficial so highly placed as
the Secretary of State has told the
world which had been complaining of
Americas aloofnesS that America is
behind the rest of the world, ready to
take any action that NAV be deemed
necessary to prevent further wars. 1t
is also considered unlikely that the
JaDaneSe Government on the eve of a
new aggression in China, should not
take notice Of the fair warning Of the
American Government, and that 1t
should not realize that America Is not
likely to be isolated in its endeavors to
maintain the pacts and the treaties
solemnly signed by the civilized nations.
