Tho bill In question Is one passed under the provision of Section 9 of the act entitled. "An Act to Authorize the President to In crease Temporarily the Military Establish ment of the United States." und Is In efTta as follows: All officers and enlisted men of the military or naval forces of the United States, who have been apppolnted, enlisted or Inducted Into the service of tho United States subsequent to April G, 1017, and on or prior to November 11, 1918, are to receive a bonus of $60 upon their honorable discharge from said service. This magnificent nnd beneolent act of Congress Is, no doubt, an answer to the ap peal of the cltlztns of the United States, who have been ngltnllng a bonus ever since war has ceased, which agitation has been a Just one. But. inv dear readers, did the citizens of tho United States mean to utterly disre gard. Ignore and scorn tho service of the regular who enlisted prior to April 6, 1917? Am I to understand that the regu'ars who were the backbone of our forces In Franco, the men of the Fifth an Sixth Regiments of Marines at Chateau-Thierry, together with the old-timers of the army who saved Paris, the old-timers who have dono Uncle Sam's dirty work in Haiti and Santo Domingo, men who have hiked miles and miles through tho burning sands of Mexico, men wlo havo knelt beside stagncnt pools of water In the Philippine Islands to moisten their parched throats: am I to understand that these men are to be trented like dogs at this tlmo when Congress Is handing out congressional medals? I UBk you In all squareness and all fairness Is this not In direct contravention to' our constitutional law, which provided that there shall be no class legislation? And you ask what causes Bolshevism! But no; the regular of the United States service has been la pow and always wilt be an object of scorn and his "congressional medal" will be $14.50 and a horse blanket after the glamour of war ceases. We have billions for our poor foreign brothers and staters, but not a cent for our own, discarded regular, who saved them from a more hellish fate, Is there a remedy? Yes. When tho citi zens of the United States wako.up to the fact that they are shipping, charges prepaid, car loadj 0 concrete to udori the chairs of our congressional chamber, then and not until then 'will our wrongs be righted. A REGULAR. Service and Gratuities To (he Editor of the Evening I'ubllo Ledger: Sir I went'lnto a well-known restaurant for breakfast I ordered oatmeal, bolloi eggs and toast nnd coffee without cream. The waitress brought the cereal and sort of threw It before me vtrry much as we used to throw the contents of the swill pall Into the trough In the pigpen, back op the farm. I guess she knew I was from the farm. Then the waltrrea went over In the corner and looked the fashion plate of the Sunday paper over, I had to ask her If she would please give me a glass of water and a napkin.

The nges-old struggle between poverl), nrt nnd love ns typified by the four scenes urcinJiod out of Henri Murger's "Lu Vie dc Boheme" and made to servo ns the libretto of Puccini's opera. "La llohemo," was given n rsiillstlo and consistent renresentatlon by tho Metropolitan Opera Company last eve ning. As it was a Caruso night, there wns stand ing room only, and not very much of that. Tho performance as a whole was well bnl nhci'd rather than brilliant. If n brllllnnt performance of this dismal Btory U ever pos-slhle The cast was a notable one, com bining in about equal proportions nbllity to sing their parts and to net them. Mr. Caruso, of course, was the star of the evening He was In fine volte and k.iug beau, tlfully, barring a slight tendency to "scoop" tomo of his higher noliK. but lie carried oft the part both vocally and dramatically so well that this technical slip can hardly be counted. Montesnntu as Mnrcello. the scond tnalo part, sang nnd acted well, and the others of the Bohemians. d'Angelo ns Schau- nard and especially do Seguroln as Colllne, did their parts with equal skill The cn cml.le acting of these four was exceptional, the dlfferinee between the actual gaiety of th tlrst act. when Schaunard nppeara with teal money In his hand, and the mock hilar ity of the last act being brought out with artistic subtlety. In the female parts the chief honors natu rally went to Claudia Muzio ns Mlml. She sang well and acted the difficult part us well nM she sang It. Leonora Spnrkrn made a fairly good Musetta. appearing to belter advantage In the womanly character of the last act than In the coquetlsh part demanded In the second. Vocally she was good through out nnd her quarrel with Mnrcello, which In .the third act forms so strong a contrast to tho love duet of Rodotfo and Mlml, was t?o well done. n to endanger the solemnity of tho latter scene. The librettists get the com edy characters off the stage In this scene none too soon There nre few set pieces In the opera, but there Is little modern music which can com pare with that of "La Boheme" In Its lllus tra'lon of the various shiidia of gaiety, tend derness nnd pathos and In Its remarkable delineation of human emotlosis In fact, tho history. of the opera docs not show runny works In which the music carries out' with such complete fidelity the emotional content of the libretto. Among the best numbers of last evening's performance were the love duet In thc tlrst net between Rodolfo and Mlml, "Ml chln mano Mlml." closing with Rodolfo's out burst, "O Soave fanclulla," the waltz of Musetta In the second net. one of the chief melodies of the opera, which recurs con st.intly. with different harmonies, and tho pathetic duet between Rodolfo and Mlml In tho last act, "Sono audntl? Flngeos dl dor mlre." TF.LLS OF PRISON REFORMS "Human Wreckage' was the subject of a lecture by Dr S C.
