The American Legi?n News: Local, State, National Movement by Veterans, Who Do iNot Need the Bonus, to Give It to Disabled Is Gaining Popularity Raymond B. Fosdiek And Henry L. Stimson Will Speak at City Club's Armistiee Day Dinner War veterans of New York State who have succeeded in reestablishing themselves since their return from military service are to be put to a test which, if ?net by them with the saine spirit of generosity that marked their service to their country, will win them a host of friends. The bonus award embodied in proposition No. 1, carried at the polls last Tuesday by an overwhelming plurality, provides that all eligible vet? erans who feel they do not need the i xtra compensation of $10 a month for ??ach month of service may contribute it to a fund Jo be used for the relief of men and women wounded or dis? abled during their service. Henry L. Stimson, former Secretary of War, a colonel in the field artillery during the war and now chairman ot the joint committee for aid to disabled veterans, has opposed the bonus plan since its inception. As soon as it car? ried in the state he communicated with William F. Deegan, first vice-com? mander of the state Legion, and called upon him to use his influence in havinp veterans not in need contribute theij bonus to the fund. Commander Deegan's response was instant. He notified Mr. Stimson that he knew of specific cases where mer who were not wounded or disable? needed the bonus, but that he woulc urge all men who did not need it tt follow the action sucirosted. Thus al probability of dissension over the ques - on,was ended. Both the advocates o: the bonus and its opponents are ir accord ?is to what shall be done b; recipients to whom it is not vital Therefore ?t is up to the veteran1 themselves. What they will do is, o course, a matter of conjecture, bu American Legion officials do not hesi tntc to predict that at Wist one-thin of the bonus money will cvcntuall; find its way to the fund.

Elder Won't Return To Flatbush Church Until Pastor Is Out Ran Against Danring Must Be Observed, Says A. L. Brenner; Declares He Re? signed to' Mend Matters While Dr. Frederick Marsh Gordon was preaching last night in the Flat bush Christian Church, at Dorchester Road and East Fifteenth Street, in Brooklyn, A. L. Brenner, who had just resigned as an elder, expressed hope at his home ;it 637 East Third Street, Brooklyn, that the congr?gation might before long once more walk in the ways 'of peace. When that time came, Mr. Brenner said, he would be sitting in the con? gregation, with three other elders who resigned, but Dr. Gordon would not be in the pulpit. Dr. Gordon resigned also. He said last night he had done so in order to hecomc regional director of the Disci? ples of Chric: in the Metropolita?} Dis? trict. But the ninety days notice he gave will oblige him to he in the church every Sunday for more than two months. No obligation of that sort iitti ';)"s to the elders' resignations. Since Dr. Gordon submitted his res? ignation differences have arisen over church discipline and, in an attempt to mend matters* the elders steppe: out. There had been a reception in the church for the American Legion and the young people danced. Although Dr. Cordon was not pres? ent and had not authi rized the dance, th eldci chided him about it. There? upon Dr. Gordon supported the young people on ti c ?rround that in prohibit? ing pastimes generally regarded a: harmless the church would alienate the you ng pet pie. "Dancing is prohibited by church rules and members of the congregation have been dancing, unrebuked by their pastor," .Mr. "Brenner said last night, lie added that dancing was only one of many features involved in the church discinlincvwhich the elders Wanted ob? served strictly. The other elders are .1. A. Williamson, J. 0. Andrevett ami I. L, Cressl.er. "There is (no iil feeling in the church," Dr. Cordon said. "This is r. very small matter. The church is sound. We pride ourselves on thinking for ourselves, and every member is a law unto himself. I think ours is the most liberal of like denominations." "Both sides are sorry now," Mr. Brenner said. "The- whole thing was .n small difference of opinion over the type i>i church government. The elders resigned in an attempt to mend mat ters." 1,000 HI of Typhoid; Sulom. Ohio.
