Washington, March 24.-Scarcely hat
the senate finished its fight over th'
four power treaty today when thu
house laid the long controverted sol
dicrs' bonus bill in its up.
Senate business wac halted for the
presentation of the measure which was
accomplished with the usual formali'
ties. Appearing in the midst of con
troversy as to the time for taking VI
the next series Of treaties the house
clerk was escorted part of the wa!
down the center aisle by the clerk oi
the senate, who announced: ..
"Mr. President, message from the
house of representatives" =
I Immediately recognized by Senator
Wadsworth (Republican) Of New York
who was presiding, the house CLERK
made deep bow.
"Mr. President" he said,t1 am di-
.rected by the house Of representatives
to inform the senate chat the house has
passed H. r, 1854, to provide adjust
ed compensation for veterans Of the
World war in which the concurrence OF
the senate is respectfully requested
A litter ran around the crowded gal
leries and there were broad smiles by
many of the senators.
There was a suggestion that the Dill
be referred to the appropriation COM
mittee. Senator Harrison (Dcmocrat)
of Mississippi, declared, he did not

explaining it might disturb the bonus
bill that Is sleeping there"
There is no telling" he said, when
that bill will wake up and believe we

committee that will act on 1t"

what committee should consider 1t, but
Senator Wadsworth decrced it. should

Chairman McCumber Of that COM
mittee, said the bonus measure couid
not be taken up until after the tarin
bill had been reported to the senate
but he thought there would be quick
action on both in the committee and
on the senate floor. He said the tarifr
bill probably would be sidetracked
temporarily in the senate to let II
through.
Senator Smoot of Utah, the ranking
Republican on the committee, said the
measure probably would be materially
changed.

ion that members. of the committee
would want to confer with President

Hanford MacNider, national COM

formal statement today discussing the
bonus measure, expressed confidence
that it would meet with the approval
of former service men and declared
that legislation that had twice passed
the house was inevitable.

NOT OUR FIGHT

Too many people come 10 this
country, violate the law OF the land
and then expect public sympathy
when they are arrested. We have
in mind the case OF Mrs. Murcl
MacSwiney, wife of the Lord
Mayor of Cork, and a number OF
her friends, who were arrested in
Washington Yesterday for picket
ing the British Embassy. Mrs.
MacSwiney like many other for
ciguerS, has come to America TO
carry ON the Irish propaganda
against the British government.
We do not attempt to go into
the merits OF the Irish cause. For
years murder and arson has been
going ON in Ireland aud the chang
cS arc this will continue 50 long
as Americans lend a sympathetic
ear to either side. The revolt in
ireland is no fight Of ours; We
have nothing to do with British
rule in Ireland or Irish civil war
But when Irish men, Irish woU-
en- or whatnot come to this coun.
Try they should be impressed with
the idea that they must observe the
law OF the land and those who do
not wish to do this should not bI

tBy United Press,

Washington, Nov. Is Congress,
when it comes back for the special
session scheduled to start November
20, or the regular session in Decem>
Der, will have a swift, hard grind
ahead, if 1t is to make good on the
program being laid out for it by
President Harding.
If 1t makes good, its reward will
come next March 4. with the an
nouncement that congress can 60
home on that day and remain away
from Washington until the start Of
the regular session in December,
lS23-a vacation of nine months.
II the program is carried out, the
country next summer will have a
real rest from the national legisla-
1--WE body, for virtually the first
tlme since before the war President
harding IS most anxious that this
rest be given. He believes the
country Is tired of having congress
IN almost continuous session
But congress will have to "cut on:
the bunk" and get strictly down TO
business if it is to earn the vacation.
There is plenty of room for doubt
ing that all the important legislation
on the Presidents program can be
disposed of by March 4. There are
the big appropriation measures,
which must take up all the tine un>
less congress puts on unusual speed.
Next in Importance from the White
House viewpoint comes the ship sub
sidy bill. President Harding, who con-
siders the subsidy the most import
ant piece of domestic legislation thus
far advanced by the administration
IS believed to be in mood to insist
that definite and final action on the
measure be taken at the next session
If the President demands final con-
sideration Of the subsidy, the plans
for a congressional vacation may go

lieved now that the shipping bill
could be passed in the House. under

prohibiting amendments, but in the

British Election
Goes Strong Today
ROnar Laws Rule Rests In Complex
ion OF Parliament.-English
Electorate Gives Him.

Voting began mis- morning in Great
Britain for reelection of 4 new House
of Commons. The polls will close at
s p. m. and the result will be known
some time tomorrow. The balloting
is secret.
The votes will be counted in each
constituency Immediately after the
closing of the polls and the successful
candidates will be named to the wait
ing crowds. 1t is the British custom
for all candidates in each constituent
cy to hear the results together and for
the unsuccessful ones personally to
congratulate the victor.
There will be 6l5 seats in the new
Commons. This is SO less than in the
old parliament, due to the termination
of the south of Ireland representa-
ton, following the establishment of
the Irish Free State. The Protestant
north of Ireland, however. will still
be represented in the Commons be-
cause the Ulstermen have refused to
abandon their intimate imperial re-
lationship. North Ireland has Is con-
stituencies, England has 492, Scot
land Il and Wales Sc.
Fifty-seven seats, including Lloyd
Georges are not being contested. For
the remaining sos seats there are J.
200 candidates in the field. They arc
divided into six groups: Conscrva-
tives, or Bonar Law Unionists; Ma
tional Liberals. or Lloyd Georges
party: Independent Liberals, or As
quith's party; Labor party; lndepen-
dent Labor party, or radical working
class supporters; Independents, en-
bracing all who hole allegiance to
none of the foregoing.
About thirty women are among the
candidates, headed by Lady Astor,
and including Lady Nottingham, La
dy Cooper. Lady Howard Stepney,
and Mrs. 9AIthur Bourchier, the ac-
treSS.
The election is being fought on a
new register, which adds nearly
million voters to the number entitled
to vote in the last previous election,
in 1913. Eight million women will
cast their ballots today for their see
ond parliamentary election since their
enfranchiSement. The total number
of persons entitled to vote approx
mates 22,0O0,OOO. At the 1918 cleo
ton only fifty per cent of the regis
tered voters went to the polls. This
was largely due to the fact that 100
constituencies were uncontested.
The chief interest intoday's contest
apart from the effort Of the Conserva-
tiveS to secure an absolute majority
over all other parties, is in the show
ing that will be made by the Labor
Party. Membership in british trades
unions declined last year from $780,
coo to 6,S00,000, due varty to unem-

THE WILSON PRINCIPLES

1t is a tribute to the far-reaching
influence Woodrow Wilson still has
upon American public thought that
Democratic politicians fear his Ar
mistice Day speech portends the crop
ping up of the league of nations as
/ the major issue for the campaign of
1924. Few of them regard the pros
pect Of fighting the league issue all
over again in 1924 as an alluring
one. 1t is unlikely that the former
( President Interpreted the results of
I the recent elections as a demand on
the part of the electorate for a re-
inewal Of the fight two years hence
with that issue as the dominant one.
+ The significant passages in his state
ment more likely were intended to
/ influence public sentiment on the i'm
possibility of maintaining national
lsoiatio when the rest of the world is
in sore need Of Americas aid. Mr..
Wilson doubtless cherishes the hope
! that with this sentiment increasingly
4 applied, the present administration
Will be beaded into abandonment of
its present attitude Of aloofness from
part in composing the worlds trou-
/ bles.
That MIR. Wilson fiImiy believes in
! the ultimate triumph of the principles
of international cooperation for
which he so courageouSly fought may
not be doubted in the light of his as
SertiOn that "puny persons who are
row standing in the way will pres
emily find their weakness is not q
match for moving Providence" HIS
concern for America 5 prestige as q
vital factor III shaping the course of
world affairs for the better is so deep
that he sensed the favorable appor-
tunity the solemn occasion present
ed to suggest thoughts which, sup
ported by growing popular express
ion, might bring a welcome change
o. foreign policy on the part of the
present administration.
In discussing the meaning of the
election. the Springfield Republican
significantly remarks that one thing is
sure-the political capital the Presi-
dent accumulated in The election of
1920 is gone and his administration
must hereafter earn it's keep" as it
goes along. With the wiping out of
the political capital accumulated in
1920, says the Republican, should
now go all the prepossessions and
obsessions which that stunning tri-
umph poured into the minds of the
yictors. Let there be a clean sweep
Of the prejudices which the heads Of
this administration have hitherto en-
tertained. The election returns of
1920 are now blanketed by the cleo
ton returns of 1922, and these tell
q different story. 1t is high time for
this administration to stop shaping its
foreign policy on the anti-Wllson
theory-thc old assumption being that
the country would stand for nothing
identified with the Wilson name"
The Republican believes that the
warning of The election, and the force
Of Mr.. Wilson's Armisitce Day utter
ances, will not go UNDECIDED by the
President, and that Secretary Hughes
viii be given a freer hand in doing
what he is naturally disposed TO do
meaning that the administrations
foreign policy will be revised and
made to conform measurably to the
things for which Mr.. Wilson has con-

THE TIGER C0METH

The Tiger OF France, Georges
Clemanceau, is aboard q great
ocean liner headed for the United
States. 1t is his third trip. lie
has had three different reasons to
visit America. First it was to
escape a jail sentence that was
hanging over his head for speak
ing his mind too freely. This was
to teach him a lesson but he never
learned Second, he came to
America to claim unto himself an
american bride he had met while
here on his first visit and now he
comes ior-Who can tell?
The Tiger, whose snarl is a
warning to all who differ in views
with him, made numerous add
tons to his already host OF friends
in America when he flatly refused
to debate with another Frenchman
ON the point of the League OF Ma
tons on American soil. This
brought JOY and a feeling OF east
ness to those who feared that his
trip was being made solely in IN
terest Of that national and inter
national question.
The Tiger. the overthroWer
and builder OF ministries whose
voice has been heard round tine
globe. has been asked not to talk
on the League Of Nations while
in this country. lie didn't prom
ise. Judging by his past per
formauces it is safe to predict that
ne will talk upon any subject nc
pleases anywhere.
But whatever subject this grand
old man of the French republic
chooses he will be accorded 4 warm
welcome in the United States and
he will be heard by thousands
where he speaks. One regret Of
the Americans is that he cannot be
banqueted on account OF a temper
amental stomach. This is indeed Il
serious drawback in the fun but
when it is remembered that Glenn
auceau has passed his eighty-hrSt
birthday it is also to be remember
ed that there are few of us VINO
will { able to even talk when those
years have passed over Our heads.
