FASHIONS FOR THE FALL SEASON
Conservative Line With Color 0 Somber Tone; Novel Detail to
 Add Youthfulness.

At this time of the season, when darker frocks are appearing to re mind the smart woman that it is al- ready time to think of fall modes, It is not amiss to mention a few potent notes that promise places of promi- hence for fall.
 Creators of costumes, of course. have been thinking and dreaming of them for months, and many beautiful things are already in evolution. The French openings have stressed points which will be style factors in the fall.
 The really smart dress for fall wear on the street will be rather conserva- tive in line, with the color probably of somber tone, while bright motif or a novel detail will make 1t youthful in effect.

There was no specific reason why Robert Fairchild should follow Mau- rice Rodaine and the young woman who had been described to him as the daughter of Judge Richmond, who- ever he might be.

In warfare the employment of such
harmless vapors as hydrogen and helium

Attention is called to the fact that
though some months have elapsed since

ratified the gas treaty.
Thus, While the United States has ac-

reduced the fund available for the de-

$2,500, 900 TO 100000. other nations
have made no such reductions. and in
many instances actually have increased

Bonus Senators admit that the

threat. They also concede the power

Administration program for an in

to believe that TIE attitude of Senator
Borah has been indorsed by a suffi-

measures adopted by the agricultural
bloc.
Confronted with the totally unex-
pected complications that developed to
interfere with their plans. Mr.. Nc
Cumber and his associates appear to
be at loss as to the outcome of it.
The Finance Committee chairman was
extremely confident that the majority
of his party associates would to-day
agree upon a bonus bill based on the
House measure as modified by him.
II want to get this bill reported -
said he, because l have given my
pledge to do it, and 1t must be done"
sena tuo NfcLean's Action.
When the Senator undertook to
make good his pledge he encountered
several unexpected obstacles. First
Senator Mclean of Connecticut, who
has been catalogued as a supporter of
the McCumber bill, announced his op-
position to 1t. The Connecticut SEN
ator told Mr.. McCumber that he ia
vored the paid up non-negotiable In
surance plan advocated by Senator
Smoot but which the officials of the
American Legion have declared to be
unacceptable to bonus claimants be-
cause 1t does not provide for payment
of money down.
Senator Smoot announced he would
not under any circumstances vote FOR
the McCumber bill. A count of Sena-
torial noses revealed that instead of
having a clear majority OF Republican
votes for his measure, Mr.. McCumber
had no majority at ALL
The lineup showed that Senators
Smoot of Utah. Calder of New York,
Dillingham; of Vermont. Frelinghuysen
Of New Jersey and Mclean Of Con-
necticut were unalterably opposed to
| the McCumber plan and that the ma
| jority favored the Smoot scheme.
The, other five' Republican Senator's
starting with the Finance chairman
and including Senators Watson Und.) },
| Sutherland CIV. Va.). Curtis (Kan.)
and La Toilette (WisD expressed their
approval of the McGumber scheme.
Mr.. McCumber said that he was au-
thorized to reflect the attitude of Sem
ator Watson, who was making a "key-
note" speech at the Republican State
Convention in Indianapolis.
When Mr.. McCumber found he did
not have a majority of the committee
he called off the conference and an
nounced he would have meeting of
all of the members of 1t on Friday.
When the Democratic members were
| advised OF this concession, which was
withheld from their party associates
on the House Ways and Means Com
mittee when the Republicans OF that
body were preparing the bonus bill
they expressed both surprise and skep-
! ticism.

cratic Senator's representation at pre-
vious meeting of his committee wheu

the bonus was under consideration.
His belated consent to admit the DEM
ocrats now is the first indication that
the latter have had that their votes
were either desired or needed. Whether
they will come to the relief Of Mr..
McCumber on Friday remains to be
seen.
Republican Senators favoring the
bonus who have not been connected
with the complicated preliminaries
over the bonus expressed great sur
prise when they learned Of the extent
of the opposition to the measure on
their side of the chamber.
One of the most ardent OF the bonus
supporters said tonight:
"Why, / have been led to believe
that there Were only six or eight Re-
publican and two or three Democratic
Senators against the bill. On invesu-
cation find that somebody has been
stretching the long bow. I thought
McCumber had votes enough to report
a bill any time he wanted to and put
1t through the Senate by odds of three
to one.
Il have been ready and anxious TO
vote for any movement to set aside

the unexpected strength shown by the
opposition to the bonus scheme.

primaries already held I am not nearly
so anxious as was to vote for the
bonus bill because think this Ameri-

victory in Pennsylvania clearly showed
that the majority Of the people Of that
State are against the bonus"
One of the most important addi-
tions to the opposition Is Senator New
of Indiana. who has been counted FOR
the bonus by propagandists and lobby
lists representing the officials of the
American Legion and Veterans of
Foreign Wars. Senator New announced
to-day he would not vote for the Nc
Cumber bill nor any other measure
which does not provide feasible way
Of raising the revenue to finance 1t.
Senator Watson. Mr.. News col
league. has been on both sides Of the
bonus. Senators both favoring and
opposing the scheme found much food
for thought and discussion in state
ment made by Senator Watson in his
keynote" speech in indianapolis to-
day. Before leaving the national cap
ital for Indianapolis on Monday he
discussed his keynote" speech with
the President.
Senator Watson's Prediction.
Considerable Importance therefore
was attached to the statement made
by Mr.. Watson to the Indiana Repub-
licans that soldier bonus legislation
would pass the Senate before the
close of the present session and that
it would involve no additional taxa
tion but be financed by the use Of
bonds of our debtor nations"
Bonus Senator'S hailed this state
ment a. evidence that Senator Watson
had won the approval of the Presi-
dent to the bonus despite the rather
convincing evidence provided by the
President himself to the contrary.
. Observers who have watched closely
the course Of the President in deal
ing with the bonus problem are con-
fident that in making his statement
to the Indiana Republicans. Mr.. Wat
son expressed his personal views and
not those Of Mr.. Harding. The Presi-
dent has repeatedly declared that re-
payments of foreign loans would not
he available for some time To coma
The New York herald., 1922-05-25

and that he would not look with favor
on any proposition to finance the
bonus from foreign sources unless the
money was actually in hand
Z Mr.. Watson's espousal of the bonus
cause before the Indiana Republicans
is in striking contrast to his state-
ments in a letter written by him dur
ing the Indiana primaries in which he
indicated his opposition to the whole
bonus affair in these words:
do not think 1t would be advis-
able for me to come to Indiana at
this time to make speeches for Sem
ator New, as / am sure l could be
OF more service by sitting on the
bonus bill and keeping 1t from COM
ing to a vote before the primaries
so that Senator New will not have
to vote against it. +.
watson's Political Agility.
Since the Indiana primaries in which
Mr. New was defeated by Mr.. Bever-
idge Mr. Watson has displayed his
generally recognized political agility
by actively cooperating with Mr.. Nc
Cumber and the other bonus Senators
in urging the report and passage OF
measure relating to the subject.
Most of Mr.. Watson's Senatorial col.
leagues do not even know now whether
he is or is not for the bonus. The i'm
plication contained in his indianapolis
speech that he was rejecting the
views of the President on all matters
of current political interest therefore
provoked much discussion.
There is no question that Mr., Wat
sons statement. whether authorized
or not, generated optimism among the
Senatorial supporters of the bonus
Senator'S opposing the scheme or hold
ing a neutral position expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Watson should make
this fact Enthusiastically clear in order
to relieve the President of any en-
barrassment. The Presidents direct
statements to Mr. Fordney and Sena-
tors who solicited his aid in solving
the bonus tangle do not justify the in
ferences placed on Mr.. Watson's utter
ances by some of the Presidents
critics.
The majority of bonus Senators In
some way have gained the idea that
Great Britain is to pay very large
amount Of interest on her obligations
by July /. There is not the slightest
foundation for any such belief. Great
Britain has indicated her readiness to
make an initial payment, but neither
the amount nor the exact period of it
has been stated.
There is the very best reason to
justify the unequivocal assertion that
neither Great Britain nor any other
foreign country will make any pay
ment on account of interest or princi-
pal Of the foreign debt by July 1.
