Gordon was struggling into a light

eagerly.
They breathed the heavy fragrance
Of purple lilacs as they rode slowly
down the long driveway before the
house. Stars glimmered brightly over

quivered In the west. All the faint,
sweet music Of springtlme saturatef
the soft night air.
"Lilacs make me think of you." said
Gordon quietly In voice that not even

She clasped her gloved hands tightly

"We've known each other ever since

Still Peggy could not find her voice.
There seemed to be something thick,
binding. in her throat. 1t contracted
painfully when she tried to swallow.
"If you can't feel It. perhaps you can
hear It," he argued, and gently, ever so
gently for big. brotherly Gordon, he
put his arm around her. silver fox furs
and all, and drew her head in its close
fitting little turban to a place where
his heart hammered under her cheek.

LEGION TAKESUP
ARMS FOR BONUS
Suspects Tax Raising Snarl
Subterfuge to Defeat
Legislation.

High officials OF the American
Legion have reached the conclusion
that the Congressional snarl over
the tax raising features OF the pro-
posed bonus legislation threatens
the defeat OF the measure at this
session OF Congress.
A spirited call to arms has been
telegraphed by Chairman Thomas w.
Miller. OF the National Legislative
departments OF the legion instructing
them to rally thee members to ag-
gressive action.
The telegram. which has the sppro-
val OF National Commander Franklin
D'Olier, will be relsyed TO each of
the ten thousand local legion posts
throughout the country.
IL was prompted by the persistent
and growing show OF opposition 10 the
tax raising features OF the bill.
The American Legion takes the po-
sition that IL has nothing to do, with,
the provisions designed to raise the
necessary revenue. and suspects that
the whole fight oyer taxation 10 a
scheme, 70 ditch the bensficiai legis-
lation urged by It, - ,- tI
In substance, the state comm q nders
are advised by Chairman Muller
that it Is imperative that every local
post be instructed, to telegraph mem
bers OF the House that the American
Legion. representing ex-service men
throughout the country. understands
that differences over the method of
taxation are being used Indirectly to
kill the bill. even though majority
OF Congress appears TO recognize the
justice OF the beneficial featuues
proposed.
Having formally requested Con-
gress to pass tho legislation, the
American Legion does not propose to
permit it's defeat through any mis-
taken notion as to the propriety Of
pressing for it's enactment. II has
decided. therefore, upon q bsrrage Of
kilograms to Offset the flood Of pro-
tests which have reached members Of
Congress from objectors to the tax
raising features,
In the meantime the bonus bill is
no farther advanced than IL was last
Saturday when II was ordered print
ed and referred back to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means.
Incidentally. the executives Of the
American Legion are preparing data
in support OF the measure with a
view of carrying the nght to the
floor of the House, IL necessary. The
legion, as national body. does not
propose to rest any longer under the
criticism of dinidence or timidity.

c. O.P.
TO ASSA|L TREATY

The treaty plank for the Repubii-
can platform has been practically
agreed upon. Conferences among
Senators allied with both factions In
the treaty tight resulted yesterday In
an anne endment to that effect.
The plank. win denounce the league
Of nations. II will commend the Rec
publicsns in tho Senate for their re-
fusal to ratify the ''un-American"
document brought by the President
from Paris. It will denounce the ef-
forts OF the Administration to force
the treaty upon the country.
There will be no reference In the
plank to the reservations nor to the
Senators who thought that by adopt
ing reservations they could make the
treaty safe. This Is bitter Pill to
the reservation Senators. especially. to
the mild reservationists." who have
been hoping that the convention
would give them some sort OF indorse-
ment.
1t is a distinct victory for the ire
concilable opponents Of the treaty.
like Borah, johnson, Mccormick,
Knox and Brandegee, who announced
long ago they would not tolerate any
declaration by the convention that
would even seem to indorse the
league of nations scheme.
The irreconcilables served notice
upon the mild" group that IL they
tried anything of this kind, a resolu-
tion would be introduced on the noor
of the convention Endorsing the Sen.
ators who refused to support the
johnson amendment to give the
United States the same number OF
votes as the British Empire"
!. or course. such a resolution would
fail, and its failure would be the
equivalent OF an outright reputation
of the mild reservation" Senators.
for they were the ones who refused to
permit the Johnson amendment to be
adopted.
When this ultimatum was served
upon Kellogg, Lenroot, Hale and the
others of the "mild'' group. they quit
their efforts for a reservation plank.
The settlement Of the controversy
over the chairmanship Of the conven-
ton apparently is in the hands Of
Senator Johnson. II he is willing to
have former Senator Albert J. Beve-
ridge, Of Indiana as permanent chair
man, the slate will be fixed with
Senator Lodge as temporary chair
man.
