Stepped outlfor the fag today.

With never care at all,
But hsi country called him man size,
And the kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Cid Glory
And thought that it whispered

Stood forth with patriot JOY
To add his name to the roster
And, God, we're proud of the boy

LODGE DISCUSSES
BONUS BILL WITH
PRESIDENT HARDING
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. July 14-Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the Repub-
lican floor leader had arranged today
to confer with President Harding re-
garding the senate legislative situation,
particularly the soldiers bonus bill.
Senator Lodge was at the White
House yesterday but the president was
out and the conference was deferred
until today.
Through Senator Lodge, Republican
senators expect to learn whether the
president desires to discuss with few
of tho leaders most interested in the
form of soldier bonus legislation. 1t
is hoped to develop senators said
whether the president was disposed to
veto the Fordney- McCumber bonus
measure in its present form. It was
said in Republican circles today that
the president had indicated that he
did not desire to commit himself in
advance of the legislation and that the
action of the senate on the form as
well as procedure with the legislation
should be determined by the senate
without interference from the White
House or a definite and final state
ment in advance of the executiye's s
present feeling toward the bonus bill
Some Republican senators, however,
have expressed the hope that the bill
could be presented so as to meet any
objections of the president and that
conferences between leaders and the
president might be conducive to this
enc.

OF DEPUTIES
HAS CHEERING EFFECT
ON MAIL SITUATION
tBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 14-Despatching
of special deputies for the protection
of the malls to various strike centers
of New Jersey today had cheering
effect on those responsible for that end
of the railroad service. 1t was report
ed other centers in the Metropoliton
district expected to ask for deputies.
Reports that strike votes were be-
ing taken by clerks of the Big Four
and the Chesapeake and Ohio, inspired
the statemen by union men that the
clerks probably will force the issue on
several other lines unless they get
conditions on a par with those obtain
terday.
Union leaders claimed that more
maintenance of way men were going
out daily all over the country and that
several hundred had letft their places
in this district within the last few
days. This was credited to stronger
picketing.
The deadlock continued today. No
signs of peace negotiations were seen
anywhere, both sides busying them
selves with giving statistics en- the
number of strikers, new employees and
delayed trains, the railroad officials on
their part admitting some delays but
denying they were due solely to the
strike. The latter appeared pleased
with reports that the state police were
ready for service at any point they
might be needed
Army officials at Governors island
admitted that they had received an IN.
quiry from the war department as to
how many soldiers at that post are
available for strike duty and the ex
tent of their equipment. 1t was stat
ed at the commandant's office that
some $50 infantry were ready and that
several hundred infantry and cavalry
could be drawn from harbor forts and
other nearby posts.
