POLITICAL KETTLE IN ARABIA BOILING WITH MUCH ACTION fBy Associated Press.) JERUSALEM. July 19. The Trans-
Jordania country has been invaded by Ibn Saoud. Sultan of Nejd, and leader
of the powerful Wahabi tribe. Saoud! has declared hostilities against Abdul-j lah Emir of Transjordania, and at the head of 10,000 well-armed Arabs he U within four-hours march of Amman, the capital of Transjordania, which Is about 50 miles east of Jerusalem. This invasion ' came without any warning the latter part of May, and it has added materially to the turbulence of Anglo-French relations la this part of the world. It has brought to light what is alleged to be a secret treaty concluded some three months ago between Saoud and representatives of Ihe French Republic. Emir Abdullah realised at once the seriousness of this move by the Wahabls. whose home territory is in the
central part of the Arabian peninsula, and did two things; sent a delegation to Saoud to negotiate peace, and in
formed the Palestine government of the true state of affairs. Mr. Phylby. British representative In Amma, and General Ghalib Pacha, composing the delegation to the Wahabis, were seized by Saoud's followers and released only after very strong representations to the Wahabis from Sir Wyndham Deeds, the British acting High Commissioner in Palestine. Saoud is still encamped within a short distance cf Amman. Treaty- Negotiation The alleged secret treaty with
France is said to have been negotiated

Washington himself, by the way, was a beneficiary of the land grants to soldiers of the French and Indian war. Lord Dunmore of Virginia was authorized to offer bounties of land to all officers and soldiers who bad served in this war, the grants ranging from 5,000 acres for field officers to 3,000 acres to captains, 200 acres to subalterns or staff officers and 50 acres to privates. Washington secured pat
ents in his own and other officers names for 63,000 acres, of which his own share was 32,000. These grants were much larger than
those promised officers and privates of the Revolutionary war when colonels were given 500 acres, majors 400, captains 300, lieutenants 200 and non-com-

the Federad government ever be called upon to pay the bonuses voted by the various states to veterans of the World war? This question is suggested by the fact that the congress once took action of substantially that character in connection with another war, and because so many states have decided
to reward their soldiers of 1917-1918.

among other things, that the French
government recognizes the sovereign-! ty of Ibn Saoud; engages to supply j him with money, arms and ammunition and to support him if he is attacked by the governments of Hedjaz, Mesopotamia or Transjordania. In return Saoud engages to counteract any tendency toward the formation of an Arab confederation in the Arabian peninsula under the guidance of Great Britain, and to help with troops in case French soldiers in Syria are attacked by troops or irregular bands from Mesopotamia or Transjordania. It will be recalled that Ibn Saoud last year declared war against Hussein, father of Emir Abdullah, and probably would have captured Mecca had it not been for the timely inter-, vention of Great Britain.

has been no suggestion as yet that the burdens and obligations of the states incident to the recent war be similarly
taken over, but one of these days some worthy congressman may seek to endear himself to the people back home by proposing to dip into the federal treasury for the funds that otherwise
must come from the state strong boxe
To date 12 of the states have paid
or are paying bonuses, while in three others all the necessary steps have been taken except the raising of the money and in eight referendums are to be taken on bonus legislation. In all thebonus appropriations actually made
or proposed in these 23 states aggre
gate considerably more than three
hundred million dollars $331,739,000, to be exact, acording to departmental
figures available in Washington. This
is not a stupendous sum, as govern
ment expenditures go these .days, but it represents substantial items in the
budgets of some of the states.
Moreover, practically all this state
ize fully the burdens they have assumed until the bonds come due and must be redeemed or refunded. That will be the time when it is most likely that a proposal will be heard to shunt the load off on Uncle Sam's broad shoulders. Of course it is improbable
that such a scheme would get by as j long as only 23 sftates are interested, ! but if a sufficient number of the other ':
states place themselves in the bonus column it would be no difficult matter to get the requisite votes for the congressional action indicated. What the States Pay Allowances by the states to the veterans take various forms and are of varying amounts. They include pen
sions tor the 6ick and wounded, assist-1 ance for educational and vocational
training and cash bonuses. The latter
are based on length of service and range from 50 cents to $1 per day, with maximum payments of from $100 to $300. In connection with state action along this line and the proposed federal bonus it is interesting to review the rewards of war heroes dating back to early colonial days. The New England militia which jointed the British army in the invasion of Canada were paid a money bounty, as were those who wintered at Louisburg in 1760. When the
