Only Those Who Endured Actus Privations During War to Be Benefitted
Washington, April 13 — A cash bonus of one dollar for every five days of service will be given to approximately 3,000,000 of the 4,800,000 of the army, navy and marine corps under a plan that has been approved by the house bonus committee it was learned today.
Who served less than 65 days and have already received the bonus of $60.
Men serving in the army and receiving compensation from the employers.
Men who were assigned to industrial classes such as shipbuilding and have received extra compensation. In the regular army before the war.
All officers.
No men would be given a bonus unless they applied for it. This would probably reduce the total expenditure as it is expected that man
who are wealthy would not apply.
The application must contain a statement that the soldier is not in any of the above classes.
It is planned that the bonus will be issued in four equal installments. It has been reported to the subcommittee that the average service has been ten months, making he average service bonus about $60. Officers were to be paid only for time they were in actual war service.
PICTURES ON MINING
Educational Films to be Shown In Fraser Hall On Thursday
The committee is not waiting to find out how much can be raised by the tax, but they are estimating it. The amount that must be paid in addition to all other taxes. Installation would be simple. All business concerns, after the passage of the law would simply return to the government 1-2 of one per cent of investment. The additional cost of living would exceed only 30 cents on every $100.
The other reels will present "The Story of Coal," which includes the process of mining and preparing the oil for market. This film was made in collaboration with the United States Bureau of Mines with about 20,000 available to finance it.

Medical Work Powerless For "Sleeping Sickness"
Vienna. Feb. 8. (By Mail). Encephalitisella lethargy, the deadly "sleeping sickness", against which medical science, has thus far, proved powerless, is victimizing scores in Vienna. The mysterious gern of the new disease apparently enters the brain of the patient and induces a profound torpor which ordinarily ends in death, without return to consciousness. American physicians and surgeon surgeons have developed medical authorities in their active researches to discover an effective specific for combating the disease which usually appears as a complication of acute influenza.
Vienna's population, impoverished and famished, offers a fertile field for the spread of influenza and its sequel, encephalitis. The poorer classes, living in unheated tenements with the house above hovering around the zero mark.

TWO PROFS TANGLE OVER RESEARCH WORK
Eastern Educator Says Money is Wasted on College Investigation
Dean Blackmar Denies It
"Pritchett's Statement Full of Half Truths," Says K. U. Professor
The following criticism of American college research work appeared in Monday's Kansas City Times: New York — Great sums have been drawn on the research universities upon "imitation research," and before appealing to the public for new funds on an enormous scale they should render a statement that is more serious in the last twenty-five years, says Henry Smith Pittcrett, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in his annual report made public today. For low salaries for low salary the report says:
"Much of that which has gone on in American Universities under the name of research is in truth only a small fraction of it, but it great sums have been extended."
"College salaries also have been diluted enormously by the tendency to most college faculties and governing bodies to bid for students by extending the curriculum over the whole knowledge, a process which means great training of teachers and the consequent lowering down of salaries."
In reply to this statement of Professor Pritchard, D. W. Blackmar, Dean of the K. U. Graduate School, said this morning:
"Mr. Prichette's statement in the Star about the great sums that have been expended by American colleges and universities on 'imitation research, mentorship with half knowledge and half truth. As a matter of fact competitively little money has been expended on research and no other expenditure in American colleges would have a return in proportion as this."
"The encouragement of students to return to the universities and colleges would make it possible for the American nation to increase scientific investigation and research and has yielded information on any specific investment made."
"As to the matter of salaries being low because colleges have wasted money in research, Mr. Pritchett simply knows better than to make a statement as that. The part truth of Mr. Pritchett's statement occurs in the fact that much of this research has failed to be immediately productive of material of scientific value, but it is true that methods of research have been taught which have given an opportunity for scientific research of value either in the universities or elsewhere.
"Mr. Prickett knows very well that there is no more waste here than there is in any other department of educational work or in any other de-
partment of life because, even in the oil business we have to deal with the on and makes human progress necessary even though a dry hole is struck occasionally, and the great educational work of the world goes on even though a dry as dust man like Mr. Prickett gets into a place where there is no education unless it is done exactly as he has dogmatically determined. While the Carnegie Foundation has done some good in advancing educational interests, yet having failed in developing university education, it has taken the position of unfair criticism of all educational activities not with its immediate control."
