American boys for the homeland
a train carrying 1,100 members of
the American Rhine army left
here this evening. There were
four German brides who were ac
companying their husbands to the

Bright spring weather brought

The American forces on the
Rhine now are below the 4.00U

Purpose Undefined
The specific purpose of the con
ference was not disclosed by Mr,
Mondel, but It was reported, it
would seek to obtain the presi
dent's views on the compromise
.bill with its bank loan provision
in lieu oi a cash bonus, as well as
his opinion as to whether the
measure should be called up Mon-
rules as most house leaders de- Less Than Four Thousand
sire.
-Mr. Mondell s announcement
followed a conference between
Speaker Gillette and 27 Republi
can house leaders arranged prim
arily to discuss the procedure in
considering the bill. Mr. Glllett
announced afterwards that he
would not make up his mind be
fore Monday morning as to
whether he would entertain a mo
tion to suspend the rules and pass
the bill. Such a motion would
block all amendments and also
prevent a motion to recommit the
bill with instructions to the ways
and means committee.
Mondell Is Leader
The conference In the speakers'
office lasted more than an hour
and was behind closed doors. Mr.
iMomysll waii delegated lofficial
spokesman and made this state
"We discussed the question of
the bonus in all its phases, fully,
freely,; good naturedly, but did
not reach any definite conclusion
or make any definite arrange
ment." Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee, said .he
had noth'ng to add to that state
ment. Fordney Wants Action
"1 want to call up the bill Just
as soon as possible," he Baid.
'Its going to be passed quickly.
I don't think we will change the
crossing of a 't' or the dotting

Representative Lineberger ot
California, a former service man,
who holds a petition bear in r a
sufficient number of signatures
of house mapority members to in
sure the calling of a party con
ference for next Tuesday evening,
attended the conference with the
speaker. He also had a long

clined to say what had took place.
Mr. Lineberger is withholding

ference the things that be and

JOHANNESBURG, South Afri
ca. March 18. (By the Associat
ed Press.) The "mine strike,
which has lasted for 67 days, will
end at midnight tonight, the or
der for its cessation having been
confirmed by all the unions con
cerned acting independently of
the workers' federation.
The mine workers' union, rep
resenting 21,000 men, led the
way be opposing the proposed
plan of a ballot among the men
as being impracticable, passing a
resolution disassociating itself
completely from the "revolution
ary movement" and repudiating
and condemning it.
Premier Smuts has appealed to
the employers to show generosity
in re-engaging the men in order
to diminish the number of unem
ployed.
THE WEATHER:
That they might have sufficient
funds to care for one or more or
phans of the Near East relief, the
girls at Lausanne hall are doing
without desserts the next few
weeks, while several groups of
Willamette men are finding that
they can keep up their pep on two
meals a day and a howl of soup
in place of the third meal.
This action was taken volun
tarily by the students after J. J.
Handsaker and told of how he
found the children in one orphan
age near Constantinople giving up
part of their food that starving
children in the Caucasus might
be fed. The children making the
sacrifice had been living on bread
and macaroni, but when they
heard that other children were
starving they gave up their mac
aroni until they had saved some
30 Turkish pounds, or $21.
supplies Given Churches
Judge John H. Scott, county
chairman of the Near East relief,
has placed in the hands of the
committees of the churches, sup
plfes for the canvass of their re
spective organizations.
"Make your canvass among the
members of the church who have
not yet given," says Judge Scott.
"Ask your Sunday school classes
EndeavorerS. Leaguers, and Wo
men's organizations to adopt a
child at 60 each. Ask for large
gifts. Complete a thorough can
yass of your church as soon as
possible that we may make an
