SOLDIER BONUS OFFER EXPIRES WITH OLD TEAR Ex-Service Congress Group Considers Trying to Extend Time. By THOMAS L. STOKES, UnitfiJ Prrts MafT CorrMpond*nl WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—When 1927 dies at midnight Saturday, there will go out with it the last of the special benefits granted to veterans of the World War—the compromise insurance bonus voted by Congress. Pointing out that no further application cr 1 be made for the bonus after Dec. 31, Representative Jacobstein, <Dem.), New York, today called attention to the failure of a million and a quarter ex-serv-ice men. out of the nearly five million eligible, to apply for their Government benefit. May Reopen Offer Ex-service leaders realize that those who have not applied do not intend to apply, but they feel that some day these men may want to take advantage of the Government Insurance bonus. So the New Year will bring moves in Congress to reopen some of the privileges. They will be directed by Representative Royal Johnson fßep. >, South Dakota, leader of the sizable exservice group in Congress. The program planned for this session by Johnson as chairman of the House Veterans Committee includes also: Re-opening and extending indefinitely the Government insurance for war veterans—straight insurance distinct from the bonus—and extending indefinitely the time for filing evidence for disability claims. “Many ex-service men have not taken advantage of their privileges," Johnson explained. “They are of two classes, those who are too proud and those who are actually ignorant that the Government will do anything for the ex-service men. The door should be left open for them." Woman Joins Group His program also includes a $14,000,000 hospitalization program, for extensions and new buildings; the bill for retiring (he 2,000 disabled emergency officers, the only class out of nine officer classes not granted retirement pay; and a universal draft measure, under which industrial workers and soldiers would be on the same basis in another war. The first two passed the House last session, the hospitalization program carrying then only $11,000,000, but both were lost in the Senate filibuster. The ex-service group in Congress this year is larger than ever, with sixty-three members, fifty in the House and thirteen in the Senate, and one additional non-service member. Representative Edith Nourse Rogers (Rep.) Massachusetts, who was chosen because of her work for ex-service men.

U. S. SHIPPING BOARD PLANS ADVANCE STEP Conference Called for Jan. 10 to Better Service. Pen United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The United States Shipping Board, having made one concession to private steamship lines, was hopeful today that the nation’s ship operators would help it establish a better merchant marine. The board made extensive plans for a conference here Jan. 10, at which all shipping representatives are to give suggestions, particularly about marine bills pending before Congress. Announcement of the conference came simultaneously with the board’s decision to reduce the restrictions it places on the Government ship lines it sells. The board ended a long debate among its members by agreeing to sell three Pacific coast lines with either a five-year or ten-year operation guarantee clause, interchange of ports being agreeable in either case. This means that purchasers of the lines to be sold are the Ameri-can-Australia-Orient, the American Oriental Mail and the Oregon Oriental.

WOMEN DRYS TO OPEN BATTLE OF DEMOCRATS Touch Off Fireworks on Prohibition Jan. 9 at Capital Meeting. By MARTHA STRAYER United Press Special Correspondent WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.—Women drys will touch off the fireworks in the great inside Democratic battle predicted fpr 1928. here in Washington within the next two weeks.

Three days earlier, the ultra-dry organization of Democratic women will hold a convention here. “We Want Dry President” This ultra-dry organization is the Women’s National Democratic Law’ Enforcement League, which is less than a year old and has only a small representation among women members of the Democratic national committee, but which promises to bring women from at least twentyfive States to tne January meeting, and which declares it has onl” one object in the 1928 presidential campaign. “We want a dry President.” says the president of the organization, Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson of Maryland. “and we’re going to have a dry President!” The women will take no action opposing any possible candidates for the presidency in 1928, nor will it adopt resolutions favoring any city for the national convention, according to Mrs. Nicholson. Elaborate Entertainment It is intended strictly as a demonstration meeting, to impress the national committee with the fact that Democratic women drys are organizing for the campaign, Mrs. Nicholson says, and that they are determined to have a dry President. Women will come from as far as California, she says, paying their own expenses. Meanwhile, the National Women’s
