FREDDfK TTEIiH COMES BACK
NEWARK. X. J.. Dec. 28.
Freddie Welsh, who retired after
losing the world's lightweight
boxing; championship to Denny
Leonard in 1917. returned to the
ring tonight and scored a techni
cal knockout over Willie Green
of Boston after four rounds of a
12-round match. - Green refused
to respond to the bell in the fifth
round, - claiming he had injured
his shoulder.
The former, title holder showed
only flashes of his old-time form

WASHINGTON, Dee. 23. Tes
timony by Secretary Houston of
the treasury; before the senate fin
ance committee yesterday placing
the cost of carrying out the pen
eiui: adjitstej compensatioa or
foldier bonus bill at $2,300,000.
000. was characterized by F. W.
Galbraith, national commander of
the. American legion, in a state
ment tonight as "a scuttle-fish
skirmish to muddy the waters so
that the principle Involved can
be clouded in-a lot of tigures thai
mean nothing."
Mr. Galbraith estimated the
maximum amount the bonus bill
would cost ' the government at
?1,S7S,8.00,000.
"Secretary Houston's whole
presentation of the matter," said
was mis-
designed to frighten
the country into a repudiation of
it? obligation to ex-service men.
The general Impression 'was con
veyed by. his testimony that th
passage of the. adjusted compen
sation bill would entail the im
mediate appropriation of billions
cf dollars by the government and
seriously cripple the financial con
dition of the treasury at present.
The. facts are that appropriations
necessary to carry out all feat
ures of the bill, except' that of
cash, compensation, would be
negligible for this year and sev
eral years to come, and that 'ap
propriations for cash 'compensa
tion are not asked 'until July,
1921, and are to be spread over
two years."

As a committee to1 represent
