Chicago Sept 15.-WiIliam Arthur Johnson the astrolosis. and member Of the Employees Adviscsy Asst cIs- ton of America has consulted the s'a-z to see what they say about Pres 'iden- Wilson aaI has reached the fol- lowing conclusions:
 The month of September this year is particularly d good month for those who are bO' n at the time of the President or those born between Dec. 21 to Jan 20 of any year. To make a trip at this time would be delightful as the planets would Ie III the mCst advantageous position for those in tending to mee- with people, as is the case with our Pres dcnJ. After Sep -cmDer, other planes of a social na- ture will favor him. but the planets cf an intellectual nature wiI favor lin most.
 The Sun planet has been in onpo- sitton to Woodrow Wilson's Birthday Sign for one mon rh-from June 22 t0 July 24 last), and during this time he had the most strenuous opposition t. his plans of any time since his re- turn from Paris. on August 26, I@19. tn: Sun planet began 10 help ouc I,ieslGent and b.rn.g him more success q. ais dealings ana less opposition in the Senate and elsewhere. Tho fact is that MT. Wilson's most fortunate period of his entire career is about to take place at this time and within the next few months, and more parti cularly, during 1920 and 1921. AL most all of the important planets of the Zodiac will be in his favor from this time on.
 Under the good influence of the Sun planet. MT. Wilson will have one of the best opportunities he has had for some time to make his plans clear to the people and Congress. During this period of the Suns rays and Magnetism, all people will be drawn and attracted to him. After the Sun planet leaves MT. Wilson's Birthday Sign, other planets of a sim liar nature will favor him.
 Solomon says, There is . time for everything under the Sun, and those who have studi ed astrology know that these times are based up- on Planetary Periods anj Cycles.
 Mercury, the planet of Mind and Clearness of Thought, will ente~ his favorite sign Virgo Sept to Sept.

troit- who is more an independent than he is Republican, were the moving spirits aEaius- the NIondeu bill in the Republican conferences
 Uncle Joe" ridicuied the idea that a soldier bill should be made a party measure. while Mir. Nichols indicated rather plainly that the Mondell bill is q joke in it's present form and in sisted that further consideration of it should be deferred until the dis charged soldiers themselves had an opportunity To give voice to their de- sircs in the forthcoming meeting of the American Legion at Mime apolis-
 There was a long wranEIe in which NIr. IondeI participated, and finally a resolution was passed declaring that the bill should not be taken up again until after a subsequ Repub- lican conference could consider it. This discussion was enIvened by bit ter passages. Later LOndeu succeed ed in having this action reconsidered but only on his promise that it would not be taken up unless another con ference had been held on it, prob ably next week.
 Having, in effect, put the Mondell bill in the discard for the present, the Republicans then turned their at tention to their own lack of cohesive ness and the perchant of some of their number to vote with Democrats on meritorious. measures regardless of politics. To favor a Democratic suggestion. some of the more rabid indicated was party treason This mar TOW viewpoint was emphasized by Representative Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, the committee that is supposed to act upon the sug- gestions of President Wilson that un- necessary taxes, particularly the tax on retail sales, be repealed.
 we should go away and remain until Christmas,' was Fordney's sur prising proposal. ''Woodrow Wilson" '" he declared. will never send any legislation to a Republican Congress that does not bear a Democratic stamp. He's not built that way. He's a political trickster.''
 The quotation is taken literally from the account of the caucus in New York newspapers It needs no elucidation, except to recall to the average voter that the Republicans last fall asked for control of Con gress on the ground that they would support the President. The first thing the President asked the Repub- lican Congress to do was to eliminate some of the burdens of war taxation Apparently MT. Fordney thinks that suggestion should not be needed be- 1 cause it bears a "Democratic stamp" During the conference, Represen- tative Reavis of Kansas. made what
