WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. —Announcing his support of the soldiers’ bonus as “noth- ing more than a square deal for the boys who did the fighting,” Senator Capper, Re- pebiiean, Kansas, told the senate to day that “the war profiteers and the pence profiteers owe & bonus to the soldiers of the world war.” “There is no better guarantee against militarism than to require the men who profit out of war to pay for itv" he sald. “Those who remained at home made enough here in the United | States to oe us pile an e the it we thet ae Fought our battles.

There is no use disguising the fact that our international bankers want us to wipe out this forign debt. It will make their foreign securities that much stronger.

In spite of this only one proposition out of the four received less votes in favor than it did against, and of the total votes on the four propositions submitted, 4,116 votes were cast in favor of all propositions to 57 against them.
