LACK OF RESPECT
FOR LAW SCORED
DIR. Wilson Declares Nation
Must Work Out Own
Salvation.

Washington and the nation must
work out their own salvation
against the spirit OF depreciation
of the United States Constitution
and laws, DIR. Clarence True Will
son. general secretary of the board
of temperance and public morals OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
declared at the midday Lenten
services at B. +. Keith's Theater
yesterday noon.
THE greatest evil Of today is the
lack of respect for the law and
the fouting of the United States
Constitution by the very American
man who few years ago was
swept to great heights of patriot
ism in the war" DR.. Wilson de-
clared.
Christ could end this. as He
could have called upon the hosts
of angels to en- dHis own troubles
but He does not wat ton" DR..
Wilson said. Jesus wants this
country and Washington to be COM
prised of Christian men and women
but He wants them to depend upon
themselves to attain this. The
greatest battles are neither those
of war. business or politics but OF
the soul struggling with evil. The
greater the battle the greater the
victory"

HARDING OPPOSES
LOAN CERTIFICATE
BILL FOR BONUS
President Believes That
Measure Will Never
Pass Senate.

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla. March a.
President Harding. like Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon. Is opposed to
the so-called loan certificate bill
which has been advanced as the So
luton Of a soldier bonus.
He believes that the bill as 1t
now stands reveals its own vicious
ness so that II viii never pass the
senate. even though House Repub-
ucans may jam II through the lower
branch of Congress.
The President spent his first day
of real rest for six months here at
golf, and other things that gave him
relaxation. but he could not escape
from the bugaboo of the soldier
/. bonus.
VIII Ask Advance Notice.
He received information that a
group Of sales tax advocates in the
House were preparing. to send him
a joint letter asking for advance
notice OF his intentions with respect
TO a veto Of any bonus bill which
provides funds by methods other
than a sales tax.
II Is not likely that tine President
will make such advance announce
ment. He Is opposed to the So
called loan certificate bill. sharing
the opinion of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon that II cannot be
defended by any sound financial
argument. But while the President
cntertains these positive views
about the latest proposal of the
bonus advocates in Congress. he
does not believe that he should in
terfere in the Congressional situa-
ton to the extent of threatening a
Veto Congress knows his views,
and as a coordinate branch OF the
government. should. he thinks. be
left unhampered by any threats on
his part in taking action on the bill.

THAI the Republican leaders in Con-
gress should share the response
Utility with him In formulating the
party's policy on the bonus.
1 Speaker Gillett, OF the House
Z Secretsry OF War Weeks and At
torney General Daugherty are
among the members Of the Presi-
dents vacation party. The Presi-
dent has discussed the bonus stu
uation with them since leaving
Washington. They are aware that
he has not changed his mind since
declaring that unless Congress is
willing to enact a sales tax there
should be an indefinite postpone

ready to reiterate this opinion In
reply TO any letters or kilograms
which may be received from House
members.
The President had a pleasant trip
on the train. although he was uu-
able to get entirely away from the
enormous duties OF his office. Upon
his arrival here at p. m. he was
met by Secretary Weeks and other
friends t7d went to the Ponce de
Leon Hotel where he dressed for
the golf links. He spent the re-
mainder of the afternoon on the
ST. Augustine Country Club course.
and dined at the hotel at S p. m.

SENATORS FIGHT
WRECKINC NAVY
BY ECONOMIES
Lodge and Poindexter
Fear Pruning Would
Destroy $3.50 Ratio.

Republican leaders in the Senate
have decided to stand by the navy
and make every effort within their
power to save 1t from the cut-throat
economy which the House has de-
cided to apply.
Senator Lodge. Republican leader.
and Senator Poindexter, of WASH
ington. acting chairman of the Ma
val Affairs Committee. believe that
with President Hardinx's aid they
Will be able TO convince the coun-
try that the drastic reductions pro-
posed would be most upwisc.
The same sort of deadlock
which prevailed over the naval ap-
preparation bill last year seems
likely to develop this session and
then an opportunity will be pre-
scented for the administration to
WELD its influence in behalf of the
navy. ...- ..
II the House program goes
through Senate leaders fear that
the 5-5-3 ratio would be destroyed
and that the United States would
be placed in a-position ofyinferiority
to Japan on the high seas. The
House Is proposing to cut the naval
personnel to about $4,000 and the
total appropriation to be about
s2o0.oo0.ooo against approximately
S400.0o0.o00 for last year.
The Navy Department contends
that 1t cannot maintain the navy
upon sound and efficient basis
without 10000 enlisted men. Senate
leaders believe that this should be
: the absolute minimum. Even this
number. they say. would require
the docking of some ships badly
needed.
Moreover the Senate Naval Com
mittee members believe that the
naval building program ought to be
carried out as far as the interna-
tional naval agreement will per.
nit. They will insist upon appro-
priations to meet the need for COM
pleting the construction of fast
scout cruisers and other auxiliary
craft. They want an appropriation
for airplane carriers and for more
planes.
In view of this attitude 1t is
probable that the country will wit
ness prolonged parliamentary
struggle to determine the size OF
the navy.

ground conditions are present. Golf

tie country club links, and the mu-
nicipal links in East Potomac Park
