Leaders Assured of Enough
Votes to Put Through
Such a Program.
PRESIDENT TO SEND
AfSPECIAL MESSAGE
VIII Contain Reference to Bonus
Bill, Tariff and Tax
Measures.
(sy The Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, July S.-Debate on the
soldier bonus bill dragged along in the
senate today while the list of senators
favoring indefinite postponement of ac-
tion on the legislation through recon-
initial of the measure to the financial
committee steadily grew in proportion.
Leaders said they were assured of enough
votes to put through such a program.
President Harding will send a special
message to congress next week regard
ing the bonus bill and the pressing Of
tariff and tax legislation, but the exact
date of it's submission has not been de-
termined. Definite action is expected to
follow reading of the message.
4 Less than a sec e OF senators followed
the days debate on the floor, marked by
a criticism by Senator McCumber, repub-
lican. North Dakota, the chief proponeut
of the bonus. of Secretary MELONS let
ter declaring such legislation to be in
advisable at the present time in view Of
the condition of the treasury.
1.-THE republican party should make
good" declared Senator McCumber, "even
If our party platform had not contained a
pledge to the soldiers of America"
Despite the pleading of the secretary
Of the treasury, despite the earnest plea
of the president not to enter into new
fields Of expenditures this congress has
appropriated millions to go into new en-
terprfses. 1t appears this congress seems
bent on spending all Of the money that
can be raised by taxation. Why then
should we expect a tidal wave of con-
sternation to sweep the country If we
pass bin that will take a hundred mill
lion dollars two years from now and vary
ing amounts thereafter and after thirty
years no appropriation whatever
Senator McCumber read accounts of
the proposed $500. 900, 900 advance to the
railroads and declared mo one has been
scared by that" Reading over a list
of expenditures required under several
pending measures, such as the Townsend
road bin and the Norris farm export bill,
Senator McCumber asked! why hasn't
the secretary of the treasury looked upon
these with concern
There is ample opportunity to reduce
our expenditures enough to take care of
any annual payments under this BILL"
he asserted.
Republican leaders in the movement to
send the bill back to committee said the

MAY DISBAND SOME
OF ARMY REGIMENTS
War Secretary Believes Such
Action Better Rather Than
to SkeIetOniZe Them.
fBy The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, July S.-Some regi-
ments may be disbanded rather than
skeletonized and number of divisions
merged, Secretary Weeks said today in
discussing the method of reducing the
enlisted strength of the army from ap-
proximately 100000 to $50, 900 men, as
directed by congress. Tentative plans
for the reduction already have been
drawn by the general staff.
The plans, however, have not pro-
ceeded to the point where a decision
has been reached as to what units
will be disbanded. The effect of such
q move, It was said. would be regret
table in that it might affect some
veteran organizations with proud rec
ords.
1t was estimated that about six
military camps constructed during the
war and still maintained as army posts
will be abandoned in the reduction
process. The ones to be affected, how
ever, have not been decided and prob
ably will not be until recommenda-
tions are submitted by a congressional
committee investigating the subject.
In any circumstances, it was said the
army will retain title to the land,
water and sewerage systems of the
reservations so that they may be made
available without delay in case of
emergency.
The reduction viii affect all army
divisions, the secretary indicated. He
said he saw no particular reason to
keep any one or several divisions at
high strength. while others were
heavily reduced.

PEACE PROCLAMATION HELD UP
UNTIL SOME TIME NEXT WEEK

to make further study of the statutes
necessary.
The president and many of his ad-
visers were represented as holding that
so far as actual termination of the
war was concerned the peace resolu-
tion passed by congress and signed
last Saturday by the president was
sufficient. In a number of the emer-
gency laws passed during the war.
however, specific reference is made to
a peace proclamation as the instru-
ment which will terminate the war
powers conferred on the executive
branch of the government. 1t is under
stood that this latter consideration has
weighed heavily as an argument in
favor of issuance of a proclamation.

NO FRIVOLOUS BATHING GIRLS
 ON THIS BEACH

BUENOS AIRES, April 4 (by As sociated Press).--To the American
 accustomed to the hilarity of Coney
 Island, the gayety of Atlantic City
 or the furious sport of the California ! beaches, Argentinas principal seaside resort, Mar del Plata, is a surprise
 for one can really rest there. He sees no merry-go-rounds, no scenic railways, no thrilling devices of any kind. He catches sight of few "mermaids" disporting on the sand. He is charmed, or shocked. by no frivolous or scant bathing togs. He sees no running about no leap-frog, no surf-riding, no dancing on the sand to the strains of distant music.
 Instead, he finds a sober multitude quietly promenading or lolling in chairs decorously chatting. or sin. ping drinks. He sees a smartly dressed crowd both of men and wo- men. When fashionable Miss Ar gentlna hies her for the beach city she equips herself with trunkfu1 of Paris gowns.
 She usually takes an ocean din every morning between II and 12. attlred in a bathing costume that falls modestly below the knees. and seldom tarries between the surf and her bath house. She may sometimes play a bit of tennis in the morning too' and in the afternoon a round of got on the excellent links up the
 beach. In the evening she will dance at the hotel or at the villas of friends, but always chaperoned by her mother.
 She dresses often and effectively and strolls along the "RambIa" look ing wistfully out to sea, sometimes having her picture snapped by one or the many ambulant photographers with quick deve1oper-outfits who need only discreet nod as an order.
 Mar del Plata has permanent winter population of about 3O,OOO but throughout the southern summer it's expensive hotels and costly villas shelter several thousand of Argen- tinas fashionable folk, mostly from Buenos Aires, while there are num- erOus cheaper hostelries.
