Senator Lodge of Massachusetts.

"We cannot collect these great for

body wants to go to war over them.
"To undertake to pay the soldiers
bonus from them is to wrap the en-

atmosphere of uncertainty"
Referring to statements that the
United States could collect the money
only by force, Senator Watson said
the United States could tell Great

her ambassador would be returned

/ While there has been no certain in

! be preparing to take the initiative in

welcome by the leather lungs of 3d.
600 fighting men, Marshal Foch, COM
mander In chief Of the allied armies,
spoke comrades greeting to the
buckos of the American Legion In con-
ventiOn here.
He praised them for their heroism
In the Argonne and the Meuse, and
indOrsed the purposes Of their post
war organization. In answer they
just howled and threw their hats and
pressed into the hall until the walls
bulged. 1t was the maddest moment
Of a gloriously mad reunion.
General Pershing had introduced
the marshal to the convention as "our
commander, honored not only for the
affectionate relationship of other days,
but also for the unity he represents,
the unity which has grown out OF war
time associations and now sustains
the ideals of our republic"
He reviewed admiringly the Amer
lean contribution to victory, speaking
in praise Of the rapidity with which
the great armies formed, the skill OF
the navy, the stupendous efforts OF
American shipbuilders. Then he
turned to the last weeks Of the war.
'This splendid spirit of an entire
nation we find again on the battle
fields Of France, where it was blazoned
In the admirable virtues Of bravery
and heroism" he said
'It was the spirit of the Second and
Third American army divisions which
took part in the battle of the Marine
and distinguished themselves imme-
diately in the operations around Chi
teau Thierry and in Belleau Wood.
Again it was the spirit Of those five
divisions which, on the 18th of July
participated in the victorious counter
offensive Of the Tenth and Sixth
French armies between the Aisne and
the Marine and contributed in great
measure TO that victory.
"Finally, it was that spirit which
animated ali the American army when
on the oath of July, General Pershine
| formed your splendid units under his
own direct command"

Washington, Nov. THE soldiers
bonus failed again when the senate
rejected Senator Reeds amendment
to retain the excess profits tax in the
revenue bill to sustain it. The vote
was % jr the amendment to 3S
against it.
Notwithstanding the failure of the
Reed amendment, there was apparent
in the debate a strong sentiment favor
ing the bonus. Several Republican
senators who yielded to President
Harding's plea that the bonus bill be
sidetracked because of financial en-
barrassments, admitted means must be
devised to provide compensation for
the soldiers.
Five Republicans voted for the
amendment: Capper (Kan.), Johnson
(Cal.), Kenyon (Ia.), Laid IN. d.,
and La Toilette (Wis.). Senator
Myers MONTY was the only Democrat
to vote against it.
Kenyon Turns to Bonus.
Senator Kenyon, Iowa, aroused the
crowded galleries to applause In his
brief plea for the adoption of the Reed
amendment. He admitted that he had
needed President Harding's request to
send the bonus bill back to commit
tee because he did not want to embar-
rass the President at the outset OF
his administration, fully realizing the
difficulties that beset it.
But / would not do it again. Sen
ator Kenyon said. "NOt after two re-
cent experiences. / listened not long
ago to the testimony of West Vir-
ginia coal operator who said he had
last year paid an excess profits tax
of $1,OOO,0OO and didn't feel it. That
same day / was called from my seat

who had been wounded IL times in

he said, sis to vote to take the tax Off
Of golf balls, furs and excess profits.
Do that and you Immediately become
great statesman.
BE this measure Democratic or Re-
publican, / am going to vote for It,"
Senator McCumber, North Dakota,
who rebelled against the Presidents
request to shelve the bill, said that he
was still for the bonus, but that he
did hot want it tied up with the rev.
enue BILL He said the interest on the
foreign debt to America should be
utilized to finance the bonus.
Senator Jones, New Mexico, and
Senator Stanley, Kentucky, also made
stirring pleas for adoption of the Reed
