Official Arab Greeting for Shriners at Indianapolis Next Month

Nearly One Hundred in Three Days Are Filed in Congress to Aid Men who Have Been in France.

r INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE WASHINGTON, May 2 2. OongTess a 'ready Is iwunpeil withbills designed wi aid the soldiers. Although the Sixty-sixth. congress has completed but three legislative days, there have been nearly one hundred bills and resolutions presented In 'both houses which are aimed to benefit those who vers in the military or naval serlce during the war with Germany. Increased bonuses for service men and revocation of all court martial sentences and fines are the outstanding provisions ors in most of the bills already preented to congress. Increased bonus bills appeared to be doomed to failure at the present time, however. There was a general feeling among members of congress that the i rreat majority of men do not want any! .rift from the government, and they base this conclusion on the action of the con- . ntlon of the American Lesion recently held in St. Louis, which unanimously oted down a proposal to seek increased bonus money. The bills which provide for additional onuses run from a $200 bonus to a bonus cf $500. DfobLs of the nation are already too hlgrh to allow increased bonuses, many members of congress declare, although they are careful not to be quoted In such statements. Those who are urg-iny the enlarged bonuses axiue that congress has provided for the farmer by fixing a profitable price for wheat and that it ts as fair that discharged soldiers and sailors should be rfiven financial aid. Revocation of court martial sentences and fines seems likely of passage by congress. This measure will be tied up with probable revision of the military iourt laws under the articles of war. and it already has the support of many Republicans who have been interested In the recent court martial controversy In the war department. One soldier organization, the Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion, has already submitted legislative demands to congress. This program includes an increased bonus, employment for soldiers on public works, preference for soldiers in civil service positions, revocation of t ourt martial findings, and repeal of luxury taxes. The American legion, the largest solformed, has not presented a legislative j program. Members of congress have I been notified, however, that the organl j zation will have a legislative program ', which will call not for legislation which affects service men to so great a degree as It will call for constructive legislation. Already this organization has gone on record as demanding strict legislation to wipe out Bolshevism and it is believed that when its legislative program is finally arranged, it will follow along such lines. Land grants for soldiers and sailors by congress seem to be assured now, although It is probable that such legisla-' tlon will be delayed for some tlmo. Amendments of the war risk insurance ct to give great benefits to those who are concerned by this act, are already .n congress and likely to be adopted. Possibilities of pension legislation Topping out despite the provisions of he awr risk insurance act were interesting many members of congress today. On every hand It was apparent that members of both the house and senate a'ill proceed cautiously in any legislation which concerns the soldier vote, until such a time as that vote has taken leflnite form.

Four vessels were fog-locked outside the narrows or at quarantine, waiting for an opportunity to dash to piers. thelr The remaining troops are speeding for port on the giant transports Leviathan and Impcrator in an exciting race which began at Brest, May 15. Wireless messages early today said that each expected to arrive off Ambrose light at noon and dock before night. MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, who formerly commanded the 89th division. troops from Kansas. Missouri, Nebras ka, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and South Dakota, went down the harbor to meet returning units of the division about the leviathan. Gov. Henry J.

and grip has been obtained by Ellas J. Jacoby, the imperial potentate, from Arabian branches of the order, and hitherto they have not been used in North America. The word and grip have been communicated officially to L. T. Leach, the potentate of Murat. He in turn will exemplify them to the members of the reception committee for Imperial council meeting and in this manner, the visiting Shriner-, on their arrival n the city, will receive a true Moslem greeting. All the temples that will come to Indianapolis are to be noti

that of the Americans, in Alsace and in southern Germany. These, with a similar number which probably would be thrown in by Grrat Rrita In. would be enough, in the opinion of army officials, to dominate the situation entirely and indefinitely. And while they were conjecturing on the military program which would be carried out if Germany refuses to accept the treaty, officials at the same time seemed convinced that no such extreme measures would be necessary. They had no doubt that the treaty ultimately would be signed, although they admitted that further skirmishing on the part of Germany might be anticipated before the "dotted line was decorated." as one official expressed It. IXPICT A OERJXAIT THICK. There was a belief in certain state department circles merely an assumption and not based at all upon any advices I that have been received that the pres ent German government misht resort to a clever trick to escape the odium of beinsr forced to accept what It proj fesscs tn believe is too severe a peace. This was to resign, allow another govj ernment to be formed and to sign the treaty. Then the government which signed the treaty and because it signed the treaty would be overthrown by the Ebert government which could then take up the reins again with what It believed, in the eyes of the German people, would be a complete new and clean state. This belief was based on official knowledge of German psychology and nothing more, but at the same time they made it rlaln that they would not be surprised to see such a procedure followed. COL.

WINNIPEG STRIKE IS E Food Supply Running Low; Gasoline About Out; No Garbage Collected. I INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) WINN 1 1 'KG. Man., May 22. -Negotiations for the settlement of Winnipeg's general strike were undertaken here today by Messrs. Melghen end Robertson, members of the Dominion cabinet, who arrived late last night. The government representatives win make every effort possible to adjust the disputes which have caused a complete tie-up of Winnipeg's Industries. The strike, which began two weeks ago today, apparently Is as far from settlement as ever. Both sides are holding firm and a deadlock has ensued. The strikers claim their right to organize is involved and declared they cannot engage while the citizens committee opposing the labor unions denies that recognition of the union is a factor. In view of these Tacts Meighen and Robertson are not optimistic of the success of their efforts to end the strike. Both sides of the controversy are printing small daily papers and these arc the only papers that have been distributed in Winnipeg for more than a week. No outside newspapers have been received. Although there is still an abundant supply of certain food staples, the food supply is running low and the stock of butter is entirely exhausted. The price of gasoline has doubled and is now 75 cents per gallon and the supply is running alarmingly low. The municipality has been unable to clean the streets or collect garbage for more than a week, and this work is now being done by citizen volunteers. Volunteers also are now manning the fire , deaprtment and water works but the 'police are still on duty Although soldiers are being held In readiness, none have been called out and there has been no violence. The strikers are counselling- against any disturbance of the peace. Unrest among employes of the rail ways. Is growing. LATORTE. Rev. O. W. Hornbaker. of this city, has accepted a call to the past orate of the First Christian church in Greenfield, Misn., one of the largest i Christian churches in the south.

No. it Is the duty of a parent tremove every obstacle that interferes with his child's success, and to Ivirn as soon as possible the condition of his eyes. To whom should a child be taken for an examination of the eyes? To an Optometrist. Why should an Optometrist be entrusted with the examination of the eyes? Because his training and equipment enable him to detect and correct all optical deficiencies of both, old and young. Many folks are near-slrhted, are they not? Yes. Optometrists call near-sightedness "myopia." It is caused by nature making the eyeballs longer than they should be. This prevents seeing well in the distance. See next lesson.
