WINE AND BEER TAX INBONUSPROPISAL Chairman Fordney Tells of Committee’s Purpose to Discuss Matter. Putting a tax on light wines and beer to pay a soldiers’ bonus will be| the House' ways and means committee immediately after the Christmas holidays, Chairman Fordney announced in the House yes- terday. This will be one of the meth- ods of financing adjusted compensa- tion for former setvice men, to which The committes will give its attention first, Mr. Fordney said. The possibility of a tax on bev- erages with small alcoholic content will be looked into, Mr. Fordney said. to determjine whether it would be ad- visable and constitutional to lift the prohibition ban sufficiently to permit their sale. Talks With Seeretary Mellon. Mr. Fordney conferred today with Secretary Mellon, bonus question had 5ot been discussed. Other suggestions put forth by mem- bers of the House for financing bonus include a variaty of sales taxes on different commodities and different classes of manufacturers and business men. Tn an address in the House, Repre- sentative A. F. Nelson, republican, Wis- consin, commenting on the proposed payment of a bonus by a tax on light wines and beer, declared former service men would not look with favor on any plan to raise revenue *in outlaw traffic in order to meet their legitimate de- mands for adjusted compensation.” Even if Congress attempted to permit cousidered by the sale of beer and wine, 2 s approximately forty state prohibition laws would pre- vent its sale. Friends of prohibition enforcement, he predicted, will present “a united front against this schemge for nullifying prohibition.” Condemned as Outrage. Declaring there were plenty of sources of revenue open for actual needs, with- out trying “to legalize what the Con- #titution prohibits,” Mr. Nelson. as- serted that *“‘to attempt to tie the vete- Tans of our country’s battles to the dead body of the liquor traffic is an out- rage.” “No soldier,” he added, *wants money coined from blood and tears.” FEAR CASH BONUS DEMAND. Some Members of Congress Reluct- ant, Says Leader of Veterans. Because they fear veterans of the world war would immediately demand cash bonuses, provided in the bill, many members cf Congress are loath to 12nd their support to an adjusted compensation bill. dccording to a statement made by Robert G. Wood- side. national commander, Veteran of Foreign Wars of tne United ‘Stat: at a luncheon vesterday, attended by embers of the Senate and House interested in the proposed legislation. To remova this objection, Mr. Wood- e, said he as attempting to ob- ain pledges from the members ot Lis organization to accept in lieu of the cash bonus adjusted service cer- tificates of land and home aid.

Chang Fso Lin, Who Forced Cabinet to Resign, Can Neither Read nor Write. oficials Tell of Its Value to - Quick to Shoot Disobedient. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. Chang Tso Lin, who has forced the resignation of the Peking cabinet and is now busily organizing a new gov- ernment to suit his purposes, is known by sight to comparatively few persons in China. Though he wields more power and over a greater area than any other man in Asia, he is lit "e more than a name to the multi- During his early bandit days he did not court publicity and since a visitor.from South China tossed a bomb fn his direction ~his public ap- pearances as supertuchun have been unheralded and fleeting. Short in stature, slight of figure, with refined features, a little mus- tache, delicate hands and a soft voice, and almost effeninate in appearance, he is far from the popular conception of a ruthless Chinese bandit and war lotd. His personal appearance. how- ever, is deceptive, as more than one have found out to their cost. The gentle-apnearing Governor of Man- churia and Mongolia is just as quick to shoot anvhody who disobeys his orders, whether it be officer or food prfiteer, as he ever wasAn his more active days. Can Nelther Read Nor Write. Chang Tso Lin can neither read nor write, but even with fhis handicap is a remarkably well educated man. He is well informed on Chinese law, knows the history of ‘his own coun- try and the politics of other nations, and is familiar with the natural re-| sources and commerce of his vast| territory down to the last copper “cash.” " He is said to be a wonder- | fully shrewd judge.of men, and much | of his success is due to his wise pigk- ing of advisers. He has half a dézen of these,_and once they are decided upon places absolute confidence in them. During the Russo-Japanese ‘war Chang Tso Lin started out as a spy. for the Japanese expedition. With- out presenting his resignation, he later became a spy for the Russian army. He was captured by the Japa- nese troops and about to be exe- cuted, when a famous Japanese gen- eral saved his life. After that he was | content to remain in the Japanese | service. | Fortune Bullt on Banditry. He was one of three brothers who | laid the foundations of the present | family fortune by banditry.

Mr. Mil- ton acted as master of ceremonies. All regular business was dispensed with after twenty-nine new members were admitted, and Capt. George W. Evans, one of the ardent workers of the association in behalf of municipal improvements, withheld several reso- lutions. Among the entertainers were Miss! Nellie Carlan of Virginia, who gave ! several piano solos; Prof. Harry Sie- 1, violinist,* accompanied by Mr. hline; Miss Elsie Schultze, in vocal | Solos. accompanied by Miss Elsie| Saltsman. After the musical program the members gathered around a small hristmas tree on a table and re-| freshments were served. Dr. William | P. Herbst, president, presided. H A resolution of sympathy was| adopted, to be incorporated in the minutes, expressing the regret of the assoclation ut the death of Mrs. Har- riet Randal Webb, wife of Judge Webb, who had held the office of | president for a number of years. i NEWSPAPERS XMAS DAY. | English Papers Will Publish for First Time in Several Years. !

ROMA SAILS FOR HOME. Having been christened and official- ly dedicated to the service of the United States Army, the 400-foot semi- | rigid airship Roma took to the air at 2:30 yesterday afternoon and| sailed for her home hangar at Lane- ley Field, Va., before a strong north- W:st wind in a two-hour-and-a-half trip. Originally it had been planned ta take officials of the United States, Army and Navy and Italian military guests, with other members of a dis- tinguished party, for a sightseeing| trip_over Washington, but the high; winds prevented the tour, and Maj. | Gen. Patrick, chief of the air service, gave orders for a start for the home hangar as soon as possible after the arrival of the craft. \ Urges Replacement of Trees. I To the Editor of The Star: Every one who visits our National | Capital agrees. that it is a beautiful city. In spite of the fact that many repairs were postponed during the! war, and although our park and play- | ground program- has fallen behind! what it should be, Washington is still { one of the outstanding lirge eities; noted for beauty. i Some of our visitors are impressed | by the magnificence of our prominent public buildings; some are enthusias- | tic about the wonderful interior deco- rations of our Congressiondl Library; some are impressed by the beauties of Rock Creek and Potomac parks, but all, without exception, join in the praise ‘of the bedutiful frees which ine our streets for miles and miles, and agree that the chief beauty of ‘Washington lies in its natural shade provided by systematic tree planting It is a distinct shock, ‘therefore, to find whole blocks of shade trees being | destroyed along H street northeast I understand that some of these afg to be replaced. Why cannot all be re- placed by young and vigorous trees of slow growth, which will, in” time, restore this street to some semblance of beauty?

The | Hunhutzus never kill unless the vic-| tim objects to paying the tribute. One ‘brother was killed in a raid, the other was captured and éxecuted, ! and Chang Tso Lin became dissatis- fled with the social starding of a Hunhutzu. With his military expe- rience it was easy for him to secure a commission as colonel in the. Man- churian army. He rose to the rank | of general in command of a division, and when the revolution came and the republic was founded he grasped ! the opportunity to seize the power in Manchuria. His powér, largely due to his own ability, has increased ever since. Hin Soldiers Pald. It is said that there is not an en- terprise of any magnitude in that por- tion of China in which Chang Tso Lin is not a partner. That is a necessary preliminary to" starting any under- {aking. He has ten divisions under him and. what is unusual for China, the soldiers are paid. - Pekimg is! charged for their upkeep—rfull divi- | sions, though .they are only 60 per, cent strength—and their supplies are purchased from Chang's mills, giving the business administration a double “squeeze.” Cli g 0 Lin a'so collects the taxes in Manchuria and Mongo'ka and deducts his_expenses before anything is turned over to Peking.

Commissioner Oyster, indorsing the work, said that he felt the new year an appropriate time to ask help for an institution which has brought to many ‘hildren the chance for a new year of | health and strength never before ex- perienced.
