lay today loomed up in. the path Of
the new soldiers bonus bill
Bonus leaders of the house receiv-
ed reports that the executive is vir-

bill. This was done because some
pro-bonus committeeman are absent.

ed the bonus in the face of the presi-
dents objections and the food of
protests that have been coming in
from all parts of the: country, were
.cheered today when Chairman Ford

Four-Power Pact Would
Be Step Backward
FIGHT TO HAVE
PACT RATIFIED SOON
Sec. Hughes Says Failure Of
Senate to Ratify Would Be
"National Calamity"
(By United Press)

Washington, March 11.-(By L. C.
Martin }-Defeat of the four-power
Pacific treaty would be backward
step in the life of this nation, Sena-
tor Underwood of Alabama asserted
in a speech to the senate today.
Underwood, leader of the Demo-
cratic party in the senate and men,
ber of the American delegation to
the arms conference, signed the
treaty and is leader i'll the fight for
its ratification.
The speech was intended to swing
Democrats to support the treaty. If
the senate ratifes the treaty." said
Underwood, 81 am fully satisfied that
it will disable not only the real cause
for war, but that it will no longer
leave the opportunity for war that
has threatened us in the past two
decades"
Underwood declared the criticism
of the treaty, based on it's inclusion
of only the four powers, lacks force!
because the four powers that signed
it are the only ones capable of dis
turbing the peace of the orient with
in the next ten years-the life OF
the treaty.
Germany is down and out for the
next half century. All semblance OF
government is destroyed in Russia,
Underwood said.

BACLEY SQUAD TO GIVE +. !. h
NAVY BOYS HARD GAME
T W . Interesting Basketball
Games Assured Fans at
New Armory Tonight

The Bagley American Legion bas-
ketball squad and a number Of fol-
lowers arrived in the city this noon
to. take on a return game with the
Naval Militia squad at the new arm
ory' this evening" Bagley has come
to -Bemidji confident that it can turn
the trick again, as it did at Bagley
when the militia boys lost by a, score
of rs to 10. The sailors, however,
have strengthened their lineup con-
siderably in the past two weeks and
are just as confident that the meeting
will result in Bemidji victory. In
any event, the game promises to be
close and interesting and both teams
will do their best to take the game,
Bagley has flrst-class organiza-
tion, much better than one would at
first believe, and has the reputation
Of winning most of its games. Their
strongest lineup will be on the floor
tonight and Bemidji will have to step
in order to keep near the Bagley
score, from present indications. 4 =,
Preliminary to the main game,
a real contest between the Naval Mill
tia's second team and the seccn team
of the high school will furnish en-
tertainment for the early fans. 'Thj'
game will be called promptly at 1880
and the Bagley-Bemidji game will fol-
low. Two games for the price Of one
is the offering made by the Naval Mi
litia tonight and indications are that
hearty public support will be given
these teams. This; preliminary prom
ises to be the best seen here this sea-
son, while the main game is sure to
be interesting. The local boys feel
that with plenty of support from the
fans, they will be able to turn the
trick on Bagley and come out of the
contest with game to their credit.
The large armory floor will give both
teams an opportunity to show more
real team work than was shown on
the Bagley floor two weeks ago and
for that reason it is safe to say that
no team has the advantage over the
other in tonight's game.
Fans are urged to be at the armory
in time to witness the preliminary
game. These games will be the last
Of the navy's2 schedule this season.
