A grateful ; people want the sol diers to have anything in reason that can be given them. Money cannot of course pay them for the service rendered,' but they -are entitled to special consideration.- What the people do want to be sure of, though, is whether the - demand for this bonus or for any other special consideration voices ; the wishes of ' the real soldiers of the war. If It does then any request they make will be heard. But the public will not take kindly to the plan of a minority who may undertake, through political influence, to force de mands which". are disapproved by the ma jority of the real men who fought for their country tbe men- wh-feel that treasury raids in their interest discredit their patriotism. - Remarking on the bon-' us proposition, The Greensboro News has the fallowing, which is doubtless from the pen of an ex-service man on its staff:, f If the- American Region persists In this demand,, it. will be split wide -open.
