ASKS VETERANS
NOT TO PRESS THEIR
CLAIMS FOR BONUS
Washington, Oct. 27.—Sec
retary Denby of the Navy Dep
artment today asked the able
bodied veterans of the late war
to forego pressing their claims
for a bonus in order to permit
the government to devote its
available resources to caring
for the numerous disabled vet
erans who are still under the
care of the nation.
The plea, which was made
in connection with the Navy
Day program here, added to
the score of economy, the dec
laration that the nation will
scarcely be a)>le to shoulder the
burden of caring for the many
thousands of disabled men and
meet the bonus demands at
the same time without encoun
tering financial difficulties an
possibly increased taxation.

the French government accept
ing the invitation of Great Brit
ain toparticipate in a committ
ee of experts for a re-examin
ation of Germany's capacity
to pay the reparations demand- j
ed of her under the Versailles
treaty, was received at the
British Foreign Office today.
It is understood that the reply
prescribes forty three condit
ionse as essential preliminaries
before France will consent to
give full approval to the pro*'
posed conference.
The first of these is that the
investigation commission shall
operate under the supervision
of the inter-allied Reparations
Commission; that the invest
igation commission shall not
be invested with authority to
reduce the total indemnity de
manded from Germany and al
so insists that Germany must
give more complete and satis
factory evidence of the cessat
ion of passive resistance in the

Despite the exacting charac
ter of the French demands, it
learned informally that the
government officials believe
that a way can be found to
