Weaponless Army Is Asking Cash Bonus ‘Washington, May 30.—(?)—A wea- ponless army camped on Washington Monday, determined to stay here un- til congress surrenders to its uncom- prising demands. ‘The army was made up of men who fought in the World war, 1,300 or more of them, beseeching at this dif- ficult pass in the nation’s life, that their service bonus be paid in immediately. Sixteen. truckloads of them, gath- ered from. across the broad sweep of the country, entered the capital from Maryland Sunday, weary and stained with the grime of haphazard travel. Others already had filtered in, a few at a time, and more were expected. They were fed. and housed in a vacant building under arrangements made personally by a former briga- dier general of war days, Police Su- perintendent Glassford. He told them they would have to leave in 48 hours to save the local relief funds from Washington's ‘own destitute would be forced to go hungry. But the leader of the best- organized contingent—330 men from the Pacific coast—replied they would stay till the bonus is paid.

In the marble amphitheatre that looks upon the Unknown Soldier's grave at Arlington, former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri mingled with a tribute to soldier heroes a plea for reliance on “the stout hearts and the unyielding swords of our gallant sons.” He was the chief speaker at a national memorial service. Henry L. Stevens, Jr., national com- mander of the American Legion, re- called the high cost of unprepared- ness in the World war, and bespoke a “hot determination” that the sacri- fices of the war dead be not made vain. “Pale and anaemic pacifists,” said Reed, “denounce the soldier who stands guard upon our shores and gives protection to our homes. But it was men with iron in their souls who gave us all the liberty we have. Their tyranny had forged, and loosed the limbs of men. . Dreamers may dream their dreams and universal congresses write their thousand pledges of eternal amity. These are but paper pacts quickly consumed in hatred’s smouldering fires. “So long as flames of human pas- sion burn and barbarous races arm for carnege, slaughter and for spoils, wise men will put no faith in paper barricades.” Stevens said the world conflict gave the men who participated in it “a new and finer appreciation of life, of un- selfish service, of our citizenship and of our responsibilities as American men.” Live today,” he added, “the spirit and idealism of that cause live on.

Speaker of House Castigates President; Denied ‘Pork Barrel’ Charge Washington, May 30.—(4)—Unre- lenting in his campaign to put across a hug? public works program for un- employment relief, Speaker . Garner had on record Monday a new lashing blast against President Hoover. “He must realize that his stay at the white house is drawing to a close,” said the Garner statement of the chief executive who condemned his project as a record-making “pork- barrel” for its thousands of post of- fice and other construction items in cities, towns and cross-roads villages. “It is rather difficult,” said the speaker, “for me to see how, if these are ‘pork barrel’ projects now, they were anything else when he (Mr. Hoo- yer) sent them to congress with a re- quest for appropriations to complete them.” He accused the president of back- sliding on the nation’s part in the construction program he urged upon private industry to maintain employ- ment. Then he charged Hoover witt: “alibiing himself from his own inabu- ity or unwillingness to promulgate a comprehensive and adequate process of accomplishing the result.” Garner's lengthy blast was distrib- uted through the Democratic national committee, simultaneously with per- sonal issuance of an even longer at- tack on the president by the floor leader of the house, Rainey of Illinois “President Hoover. *as a president, has registered a failure practically complete,” said Rainey in condemns: expenditures so far piled up by present administration and defending “From now on.” he continued. “ve propose to insist that the president cooperate with us in our program, and if he fails to do it, we proposee to place the responsibility where it be- longs, directly on the president of the United States and his vacillating, ine compztent leadership.” cipal witness for it.

While on the Arlington hills, across the Potomac from Washington, and elsewhere through the country, war- rior graves were decorated with flag land flower by remembering pilgrims, President Hoover at his desk main- tained watch on affairs of state. While the words of patriotic ora- tors rang out before the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and echoed amid marble shafts and headstones, the senate dealt in stern debate with the living and burdensome question of high taxation. A plaintive touch to this day of soldiers was given by bands of ex- service men, rather grim and gaunt, who scattered amid holiday throngs about Washington, waiting a chance to press on congress their demands for payment of the bonus. Absence of any plan for formal participation in the day's exercises by the president was unprecedented. Worn by the tensity of national af- fairs, he had planned to spend the day in quiet rest at his Rapidan compelled him to return to his desk.
