By the Associated Pre LONDON, June 25.—Baron Arnold, undersecretary for colonies, informed the House of Lords yesterday that the British government had instruet- cd its ambassador at Washington to {nform the United States government that Great Britain had reached the conclusion it is desirabie that the conduct of matters at Washington ex- clusively relating to the Irish Free State sibuld be entrusted to a minis- ter plenipotentiary accredited to the United States. He added the govern- ment trusted this proposal would be aeceptable to the United States. Expl s Minister's Status, Lord Arnold went into a full planation of the status of the min ter, should the United States con- sent. The government's action in the matter was based upon a prece- dent set in 1920, when it was agreed that Canada might be separately rep- resented at Washington, The minister would be appointed by the Free State government and receive his credentials in the usual manner from the king. Both docu- ments would make it clear that the appointment was solely for dealing with Free State concerns. Plans Made to Avoid Conflict. Lord Arnold further explained that careful provisions had been made governing the relations between the British and Free State governments and between the British ambassador at Washington and the Irish minis- ter and for dealing with cases where the respective functions might over- 1ap. The British government was con- fident the appointment would strengthen the cordial relations with the United States, without in any way impairing the principle of dip- lomatic unity of the whole British empire.

When war was de- clared T volunteered for active duty, and was ordered back in April, 1917. T was sent to France and there served as a courier, carrying papers and dis- patches through Kurope. I was re- turned to this country in March, 1919, and as again placed on the retired , August 27, 1919, T did not receive the $60 bonus.

I will thank you very much for the answers. I am a subscriber.—E. R., §ergeant-major, retired. A, The judge advocate general of the War Department has ruled or held that the right or receipt of re- tired pay by an enlisted man or of- ficer prevents the War Department from paying the $60 bonus to those persons whose service is similar to yours. The adjusted compensation act is worded differently, and since you were honorably separated from the service vou will be entitled to re- ceive an adjustment service certificate. Your total adjusted service credit will amount to §i The ‘face value of your policy or adjusted service cer- tificate will be $1,409, payable to you twenty years after its Issue or pay- able to any beneficiary you may name upon your death before the expiration Q. I figure I have about $80 com- ing to me under the adjusted com- pensation act. I see where if the amount due a veteran is'less than $50, then it is paid in cash. I will be glad to take $50, because I need cash, and let the balance of $30 8o back as a credit to the government. Would this be allowable or would the gov- ernment consent to such an arrange- ment?—A. B. H. A. Under the law the United States Veterans' . Bureau could not ‘settle with you in such a manner. It might be cheaper and it might save the government a little money, but the United States Veterans' Bureau has no discretionary power and must carry out the intent of the law. Q.

She was arrested when she appeared at police headquarters with the money: Her attorneys asked for a writ of habeas corpus before.

Schall, from the tenth district of Minnesota, in his agricultural and horticultural and during a v to the garden and farm of his ex- tensive place, Windcrest, just bevond Berwyn, Md., no one would suspect that the principal work is done by one whose fate it is never to behold the result of his diligenc Mr. Schall recent- Iy completed a concrete walk about his home, with a coping of ornate and rounded appearance, and from the mixing of the material to the last pat of the material to the last pat of the towel the labor is ail his own. It is perfection in every de- tail and a marvel when it is remem- bered that the entire work was done by measurement and adroit handling. Mr. and Mrs. Schall are from the ru- ral country near Excelsior, Minn, within easy distance of St. Paul and Minneapolis and near the Mississippi. They simply could not exist in a shut-in city house and no grounds to speak of. Their small farm near Ber- wyn is one of the best conducted and most productive in the section. All the general _direction is done by the owner. Representative Schall and hix wife are examples of the versatility of the middle west. They were class- MR.

Mr. Schall does not essay to make a big profit on his farm, but he man- ages to come out ahead on his in- vestment and upkeep, and provides every luxury of the culinary sort for his family. There are several cows in the meadows beyond the house and, well hidden by a screen of vines, some prosperous looking pigs prom- ige all sorts of good things when the proper season Is at hand. There are chickens galore and as thrifty a kitchen garden as the neighborhood can show. The Schalls spend autumn, winter and spring at Windcrest, in- dependent of the performances of. Congress. They wlll return_ toward the end of June to their big farm near Excelsior. They also maintain a pleasant home in Minneapolis, where Mr. Schall’s law offices are located. —;ln! From Life.
