FRANCE FEARS
GERMAN GHOST
Poincare Arming Only to
Prevent Possible Invasion,
He Says
London, March 3.—-Premier Ram
say MacDonald's second letter to M.
Poincare, published today sets forth
some of the apprehensions regard
ing Frances policy held by numerous
Englishmen and these fears the
French premier in his reply, en
deavors to alUy.
Premier MacDonald’s letter says
that the peopl® of England "regard
With anxiety what appears to be
the determination of France to ruin
Germany and dominate the conti
nent without consideration of our
reasonable interests and future con
sequences to a European settlement,
that they feel apprehension of tho
large military and aerial establish
ments maintained by France.”
MacDonald expresses hope that the
report of the expert committees on
German reparations will force Franco
•nd England together. If co-opera
tion can he reached, he said. “It
Will be possible for us to approach
the United States ndt as debtors by
putting one with the other but as
United European countries by mu
tual sacrifice and arrangement to
cure the ills from which our people
are now suffering.”
Premier Poincare characterizes as
“mistaken” those Englishmen who
believe that France dreams of the
political or economic annihilation of
Germany.
Disclaiming a spirit of militarism
on the part of France, he asks: “Are
there really Englishmen who sup
pose that France would be capable
of making fratricidal preparations
against their country ?u Our military
and aerial establishments are ex
clusively designed to defend us
against attempted German revenge.”
“It Is infinitely to he desired,” he
agrees that the questions of Inter
allied debts and reparations should
be settled at th® same time.
HOUSE TAKES UP
SOLDIER BONUS
Ways and Means Committee
Considers Measure That
Harding Vetoed
Washington, March 3.—Proposals
to make soldier bonus payments In
the form of paid up Insurance led
to several arguments today at the
opening of public hearings by the
House ways and means committee of
adjusted compensation legislation.
Representative Andrew, republican,
Massachusetts explained to the com
mittee a measure he had introduced _
proposing for Insurance with an op
tion of cash payments for those vete
rans not entitled to more than $50.
“The veterans need for cash is not
the same now as at the close of the
war," he said. “And the bonus now
takes the form of an obligation. The
insurance provision appeals to me
as better for the veterans, granting
them protection against worry for
the future.”
Mr. Andrew estimated the bill
would not cost more than the mea
sure passed last session.
Representative Fish, republican.
New York, presented his bonus
scheme of restoring all payments to
a 20-year-endowment policy. It
would allow policies of $400, for each
s#x months of service above sixty
days, with a maximum of $1,600 and
would allow $800 to beneficiaries of
each of the 5.000 who died during the
war without insurance.
Such a measure would cost $2,000,
000.000 or about $100,000,000 a year
Mr. Fish estimated. All veterans in
cluding officers up to the rank of
captain in the army and marine corps
ani livutenants In the navy would be
eligible.
Both Mr. Andrew and Rep. Cole,
republican. Iowa, declared they had
never heard opposition to a bonus ex
pressed by any enlisted man.

NIGHT SCHOOL
PLAN FAILURE
lights Turned Off By Pupils
Who Didn’t Like
The Idea
Huron, S. D.. March 1. (Special)—
Failure marked the first attempt of
the junior high school officers to
hold a night session for the after
noon classes that the parents might
see how the pupils were doing their
work, and what they were studying
and learning. The failure was
through no fault of the school of
ficers, but rather was the result of
a determined effort on the part of
some of the boys that “curfew shall
not ring tonight.'*
During the first period of the ev
ening classes the light went down
so that there was barely a red
gleam where the bulbs were located.
Then the lights flared up again, but
only to go out for good. School was
dismissed.
Investigations yesterday by the
light and power company electricians
showed that the light wires had been
tampered with. Two wires had been
scraped and crossed, thereby causing
a short circuit which blew out the
fuse in the transformer box.
FARMERS ENTERTAINED
BY PEOPLE OF TOWN.
Tyndall, S. D., March 1, (Special)
—The Tyndall Commercial club and
the farm bureau of Bon Homme

ers and other business men at a

BOO people was present. An address
by Senator Aetherton of Madison,
Was followed by short talks by Sen
ators James A. Wagner, of Tabor;
Secretary W. W. Byers, of the Tyn
dall Commercial club and others. Af
ter the pictures and speaking were

ASSERTS MANY ARE
ILLEGALLY CONVICTED
Fiorre, S. D., March 1.—Many Il
legal convictions for liquor offenses.
It is believed, have taken place In
South Dakota under the provisions
of chapter 24*, session laws of 1*1>,
which was later repealed by refer
endum.
This was Indicated by C. E.
Coyne, secretary of state, who at
the request of one attorney issued a
certificate on the referendum vote.
This attorney declared he knew of
two men who had been illegally sent
to^he penitentiary under this law
and that many present inmates of
county Jails were convicted' under
the annulled statute.
It Is believed that these represent
general conditions over the state and
particulars are withheld pending
general Investigations which are un
derway.
The general mistake is believed to
have been caused In part through
the failure to Include the referen
dum result In a local reference work
sold to lawyers.
CONSTRUCT SAND DAM
ACROSS BIG SIOUX
Canton, S. D., March 1.—A bar of
sand, thirty feet wide and stretching
across the river Is being built in the
Sioux river in another effort to con
struct a substantial dam. The sand
Is taken out of the river bottom and
placed along the dam already built.
Present plans, it Is said, provide for
& roadway on the sand bar, over
into South Dakota.
It is understood that a spillway 14
feet wide will be made toward the
west end of the dam. Over this a
bridge will be built. It is thought
that the sand bar, being nearly two
rods wide, will be of sufflcent size
to guard against its being washed
away by the current.
Work has been under way for
some time and it is hoped to have th-J
dam completed by the time warm
weather Arrives, whenthehlghwater *
will render further operations im
possible.

ject first to take up and when to

Asked if the committee would sum
mon Frank A. Vanderlip in view of
his.published assertion that President
Coolidge had asked for Daugherty's
resignation and had not received It,
and that he had the facts to back
it up, Brookhart replied:
"Facts are what we are after. We
shall Investigate that Rlong with
other leads we have. If the commit
tee believes Mr. Vanderlip has any
facts it ought to know, certainly he
will be summoned. But this matter
has not been brought to the commit
tee's attentions yet.”
The White House Monday charac- -
terlzed the Vanderlip statement tha*.
Daugherty had refused to retire when
asked by the president as “too ridi
culous to dignify by a denial.”
