By tli Associated Press. Washington, D. May 29. Ap- for modifi cations the so-called McCumber plan. Five members, all Republicans, were reported to favor the Smoot proposition of paid up life insurance for the teta In lieu of all other forms of compensation, while one committeeman.

Senator Williams, Democrat, Mississippi, was understood to be opposed to any bonus legislation. Whether a long reclamation provision i to.be included in the McCumber 'plan is an open question and consequently it may be some time before a tionus bill is reported to the house. Chairman McCumber is anxious, however, that the bill be reported out in the Immediate future and he expeets to press for action as speedily jas ia possible. Time is indefinite. After reaching the house, the bill- In the usual, course would go to the senate calendar to remain until called up bySenator McCumber.

There is a difference of opinion among Republican1 leaders as to whether the bonus should displace the tariff bill at any time soon, so the probable time at; which the senate win get into the bonus fight Is indefinite. Opponents of a bonus in any form as well as opponents of tfce amended house-bill are prepared for a long discussion of the question. i Both the McCumber and Smoot plans have been outlined in some detail to President Harding with a view of obtaining an expression of opinion from' him, but the committee went ahead today with their consideration without having received any word from the Executive. Proponents of the McCumber proposition believe that he will approve that form of bonus if passed by congress, but publicly, at least, the President has given to' indication of a change of any kind since he told the house ways and means committee to finance the bonus with a sales tax or postponement of enactment of. the legislation.

Aside from the provision to pay cash to veterans whose compensation would not exceed 150, the McCumber plan would provide for adjusted certificates on; which banks would be authorizezd to loan funds during thp first three years 'and the treasury thereafter during the twenty years of the life of the certificates. The certificates would have a face value equal to about three times the amount of the veteran's adjusted services credit at the rate of $1 a day for domestic services and 1.25 a day for foreign service and the total would be payable at the end of twenty years or sooner, upon the death of the holdier. 'There also' would be provisions for vocational; training and home and farm aid. These and the cash and certificate features are almost identical with' those of the house bill, but the land "settlement, or reclamation feature in the house measure has been eliminated. There is a movement; in both the senate and house to have some kind of a reclamation provision put back into the bill and a special subcommittee of Republican members of the finance committee opened bearings today oa that question.

BOTTOMLEY GETS SEVEN-YEAR TERM Member of British parliament convicted of fraudulent handling of $660,000. By' HENRY WALES. Copyright. 1922. Tribune company.

London. May 29. Horatio Bottom-ley, member of parliament and publisher of the anti-American weekly John was found guilty in Old Bailey court today of the fraudulent conversion; of 150,000 pounds sterling ($660,000) i and was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. The Jury deliberated for lesr than half an hour, reaching its decision on the first ballot without Glssenters. Mr.

Bottomley announced lie would appeal, but he, was denied bail and is being removed Immediately to Brixton prison. After the armistice JJr. Bottomley organized victory premium clubs, selling certificates and promising high rates of interest Contending that he never made a penny by the Mr. Bottomley explained the mixed: up books and misappropriated funds by stating that he bad an insufficient clerical and bookkeeping staff to keep his accounts in order. pearly 1,000,000 pounds passed through Bottomley's hands.

Mr. Bottomley conducted his own defense. A crowd, including many women, Jammed the historic court where Justice Salter vvnen Mr. Bottomley was about to be removed by the guards he asked ne could be freed on. bail.

May 29. The 4 war department today submitted statistics to illustrate strikingly how the United States is leading the world in land disarmament. -This nation, which raised an army of 4,000,000 men for the World war. now stands in fourteenth place in the list of armies of the world in point of actual numerical strength and is 25th if the size of the army is compared to the total population of the country. According to the war department comparison, which is based on tne present strength of the army and not the lower figures that will obtain when the new army bill becomes law, Russia has the largest army in the world, a force; of 1,570,000 men.

China is second with 1,083,000 men, and France is third, with an army of 818,000. The other armies included in the comparison are as follows: Abyssinia, Greece, 310.000: Japan, Poland, Italy. Roumania, 165,000, and the United States, ,153,000. In view of the decision of the league of nations at Geneva recently that nothing can. be done at present toward general reduction of land armaments, these figures are regarded in official quarters here with particular interest.

Other statistics that have been worked out throw interest ing light upon the comparative bur den borne by European populations and Americans for the upkeep of military organizations. Ia the United States the analysis show there is approximately one soldier to every 900 persons, contrasted with the statement often made that every adult in Europe has to carry a sol dier on his back. It is estimated that in the United States there is but one soldier for every $2,000,000 of wealth and one Boldier for every 2o square miles of territory. Army experts also emphasize the fact that practically" all the Euro pean powers and Japan as well have compulsory military service with guarantees that every ablebodied youth will receive military training when he comes of age. Thus, they point out, despite the world cry for disarmament, the European nations and Japan are actually building up great army reserves which are subject to mobilization upon short no tice.
