don to which Mr.. De Valera and
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
had been invited.

cate what progress had been made
by the big Four" comprising Mr.
Lloyd George, General SHUTS, Sir
James Craig and Earl Middleton, a
prominent southern unionist, toward

a united Ireland" its legislative and
governing machinery to incorporate
under different name than the
Ulster parliament, which would have
the approximate status of provin-
cial assembly. A similar body, UNI
der such an arrangement, would be
created in the south, with some form
OF "all Ireland" assembly consisting
of upper and lower houses, which
would serve a co-ordinating body.
The king, it was stated today, has
placed Buckingham palace at the

ing took vigorous action today to
halt the passage of soldiers bonus
legislation at this session OF con-
gress.
The president went to the senate.
and in conferences with score or
more of senator's, urged postpone
ment of the legislation which he fa-
vors in principle, until the winter
session or until the revenue and tar
if bills shall have been passed and
the financial condition of the gov
ernment clarified
Having allowed the bill to reach
the floor. of the senate without eff
fective administration protest, the
president found it difficult task
, to halt the legislative machinery,
which is grounding out the bonus
grant so ardently sought by the eN-
service men.
Plans Message to Congress.
Republican leaders bluntly in
formed Mr.. Harding they could not
hope to obtain postponement of
action unless he would assume the
responsibility formally therefor.
This he expressed willingness to
do in the form of message to
congress, possibly tomorrow. re-
questing that action on the bonus
bill be deferred.

at the senate Unexpectedly and
lunched with a party of senator's at
his old table in the, cafe, estab-
lished r. eelf later in the presidents
room called in senators. with
whom NJ discussed not only the bo-
nus, but the general program OF
legislation and handed out some
presidential advice thereon.

reminded senatorial leaders that he
had summoned congress into special
session for the definite purpose Of re-
vising the tax and tariff laws. He
gave tnem 10 uHueTStdHu tildt Hc
thought it was time to drop eN-
traneous measures which have been
pushed forward, and to concentrate
on the main objectives. To this end
he suggested that congress. after
the house passes the tariff bill, take
a recess so that the committees hav-
ing charge of tax and tariff legisla-
ton might be enabled to draft more
speedily the new bills.
Senate Leaders Hostile.
Mr.. Harding's program was re-
ceived with considerable hostility on
the republican side, as well as
among the democrats. Only two
days ago. the senate, by vote Of
46 to 4, decided to make the bonus
bill the unfinished business, thereby
clearly indicating its intention of
passing the measure. Only. one re-
publican, Senator Warren of Wyom-
