SOLDIER BONUS
SEEMS ASSURED
Senator McCumber Pre-
diets Substantial Major
ity Over TwO-Thirds Vote
Opponents Confident Presidents
Veto VIII Be Sustained Should He
Refuse to Sign.

Washington, Aug. p Passage
of the bonus bill in the Senate by
the middle of next week, with ap-
proximately 80 votes against IT.,
seemed assured today.
This was evidenced in announce
ment of results Of several separate
polls of the senate. Chairman Nc
Cumber, co-author Of the bill, pre-
dicted a substantial majority over
two-thirdS will advance the measure
to the President for signature.
On the other hand. opponents OF
the compensation plan. while not
sanguine enorght to believe it could
be blocked at this time, were conf
dent that sufficient strength could
be mustered to sustain veto.
should Mr.. Harding refuse to sign
it. as has been reported, if the bill
did not contain some Embarrassing
amendment, preferably a sales tax.
Both the House and the Senate
repeatedly have refused to accept
sales tax. and it is not now con-
sidered likely that a revenue-rais-
inc provision will be attached
Fearful of an open break between
the President and Congress be-
cause of the stir created by the
protective tariff, it is believed a
number of Administration supThrt-
ers. who otherwise would favor a
bonus. will bolt on the showdown,
and will oppose the bill over a veto
Opponents were lining uD for bat
tie on the grounds the nation can
not stand an added financial bur
den which the bonus, it is eStima-
ted. will impose 70 the extent of
about O0,00000O.
McCumber and other Staunch sup
porters, were ready to contend that
the bonus is in reality a govern
ment obligation-long overdue-to
war veterans. and that the sO-calleG
tax burden" argument carries no
weight for the initial payments of
the foreign war debt to America will
more than meet expenses.
Despite the separate drive which
has been waged bv western sonat0rs
in favor of including the McNary
reclamation and lard settlement
amendment in the bill. thero an
nears little probability that it will
be accepted.

NECESSITY FOR
PREPAREDNESS
People of Nation Display
ing Greater Interest In
Military Training
Pershing Says America Wants No
More War. But Must Be Prepared
If One Comes.
nv United presS.O

Washington. Aug. 22.-Amerfcan
manhood is rising to the necessity
for military preparedness, IN the
opinion of General John j. Perish
ing, General of the Armies of the
United States.
The people of the country are dis
playing a greater interest now in
military training than at any time
since the armistice, the General de-
clared in an exclusive interview
with the United Press today.
General Pershing's statements are
regarded as particularly significant
coming as they do Immediately
after President Harding's address
Yesterday to 1000 Citizen sold
iers," who were told by the EXecu-
tive that America wants no more
war, but wants to be prepared if
another war comes.
The principal duty Of General
Pershing as General of the Armies
is the supreme direction of training
Americas citizen army. which un-
der the plans of the War Depart
ment would constitute the great
bulk of the country's arms in an
other war.
"The work being done in the Citi-
zens' Military Training Camps Is
most satisfactory General Perish
ing declared. "The practical courses
of instruction have been worked out
so that the boys time is always
prcfitably and Interestingly occu-
pied.
at is astonishing what progress
is made in the short period Of four
weeks allotted these camps.
"The improvement in their phy-
steal appearance is most marked
At the same time, they are given
some idea Of disciDline. respect for
authority and their obligations to
their country.
"Of course it must be understood
that these boys ere not transformed
into trained soldiers in thirty davs,
but they are given elementary in
struction upon which to build, and
are imbued with ideas that are
necessary for further development
81 would like 70 see as President
Harding said, 100000 bows through
out the country receiving such
training annually Not only would
this be a verv great military asset.
but ii would be material benefit
to the individuals and a distinct con-
tributicn to good citizenship.
GAS to the attitude of our neople
toward military training ] believe
that there is a greater interest this
year, especially among those who
served in the war, than at anv time
since the armistice was signed"

COAL STRIKE
nv InitcG Press.D

Washington, Aug. ga new law
to curb coal profiteering is being
framed by administration cabinet
members.
At the suggestion of President
Harding, several plans have been sub
mitted to Attorney General Daugherty
and he is expected to confer with
Secretaries Hoover and Davis today
in an effort to find satisfactory
measure.
Unexpected legal difficulties are be-
setting the attempt to provide Federal
supervision Of fuel prices.
Daugherty is drawing up bill pro-
viding for a fedora; coal agency to
act as a middle man" by buying huge
quantities of coal for interstate ship
ments and thus holding down prices,
but due to strong opposition to such
measure, despite its recommendation
by President Harding, other plans are
also being considered.
Among these are said to be revival
of the anti-profteering sections OF the
wartime Lever law.
Meanwhile, action was beng pushed
in both senate and house today on the
Presidents suggestion for legislation
creating coal commission to make
complete investigation of the mining
industry. 1t was to be considered by
the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee and the Senate Labor Commit
tee with the probability that it would
be taken up in the house tomorrow or
Thursday.
If Daugherty, Hoover and Davis can
reach an agreement promptly on the
anti-coal profiteering bill, it probably
will be introduced in Congress before
the end of the week.
Reports continue to come TO the
government of profiteering in coal.
This is expected to continue even
should the coal strike be settled COM
pletely due to the great shortage the
country faces, unless some drastic
legislation is enacted.
Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-Hope for an
