Odlin files bill to restore $10 monthly military bonus
Representative James E. Odlin of Lynn introduced a measure to retroactively restore a $10 monthly bonus for Massachusetts service members from January 15, 1918, to January 15, 1919, for those below certain officer ranks, amid tax concerns and past costs. The bill mirrors a prior failed proposal tied to state tax impacts and industry bankruptcies.

Second Division Saved Paris, Gibson Argues
Howland A. Gibson of Newport writes that while the 10st Infantry did not singlehandedly save Paris, the Second Division led by Fifth and Sixth Marines and Ninth and 23d Infantry halted the German advance at the June 1 gap, earning France’s enduring respect and a Paris parade on July 4. He objects to frontier headlines calling only one unit saviors of Paris.
