Former presidents OF the United
States, after laying down the heavy
burdens OF their office. ordinarily
have retired TO the quiet of private
life. There are notable exceptions
to this rule, however.
One former president was later
commander-in-chief OF the armies
of the nation, another was leader
in the lower house Of congress for
a considerable period, a third was
elected to the u s. senate, another
was prominent in the congress OF
the confederate states, and several
others remained active in politics
after .relinquishing their posts.
George Washington retired in
1897 after serving two terms. In
1888, however, the French under
Napoleon had become so overbear-
ing and insulting to the young
American republic that a state Of
war existed. The great Washington
was induced to become the COM
handkerchief of the provisional
army which was formed to fight the
French, and he reentered public
life for a reason. He died the next
year, on Dec. IA, 1899.
When John Adams retired from
the presidency he withdrew from
public life for all time. Adams
was q great scholar and his last
years were spent with his books.
He lived for a quarter of a CEN
fury after leaving the White house
and saw the day when his son was
inaugurated president. Strangely
he died on the 50th anniversary of
the Declaration of independence,
and on the precise day when his
great political foe, Thomas Jeffer-
son, passed away.
1t was on March 4, 1909, that JEFF

H0LDUp BONUS AID DISABLED
 YETS-HARD|NC
tBy the Associated Press)

Washington, July 12.-Enactment of soldier bonus legislation at this time would greatly imperil the finan- cial stability of the country, President Harding declared today, appearing in person before the senate to oppose early passage of such laws.
 Our every obligation is to the dis abled and dependent the president said, and the executive branch owes it to the country frankly to state the difficulty we are daily called upon to meet and the added peril this measure would bring.
 "This menacing effort to spend millions in gratitudes will impair our capacity to discharge our obligations to those whom we must not fail to aid."
 Three things must be accomplished before the nation reaches normalcy, the president declared. Taxes must be revised, the war debt must be 1e- refuned and the foreign debts held bs America must be adjusted.
 Mir. Harding made his decision to address the senate after consultation with Senator Lodge, majority leader, and Senator Curtis, Republican whip, who assured him that motion to re. commit the bill would be adopted. His appearance came in the face of a wig orous protest by the American Legion legislative committee, opposing delay as subterfuge through which the ma jority hopes ultimately to defeat the bonus.
