IN POSITION To
OVERRIDE VETO
Presidential Disapprov-
al of Bonus Bill Is
Forecast in Capital.
Harding Reported Still
Opposed to Measure
Minus Finance Plan.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Information
that President Harding had made up
his mind definitely to veto the soldiers
bonus bill reached senate leaders Satur-
day from some of his close advisers.
They said his message of disapproyaI
would be sent 10 the house Tuesday.
After receiving this word, the ma
jority Teaders made an informal pre-
liminary canvass of the senate, which
was said to have shown "a votes against
overriding veto, or two more than
the number necessary 10 prevent final
enactment of the bonus legislation,
This margin was understood, how
ever. to be regarded by some friends
of the president as too narrow and they
expected Mr.. Harding TO call several
senators to the White House before
time for discussion of the situation.
Many Senators Absent.
With many senator's absent from
Washington il was asserted by some
that it was difficult TO judge senate
sentiment at this time.
MANY of these absentees, it was
stated. could not possibly get back TO
Washington in time to vote. Five
senators are in Europe. while four
others are in the far west. Several
others would be detained by their own
illness or that of members of their
families Every effort will be made to
pair absentees, but il was explained
that it might not be possible to pair
all of them, and il was conceded that
the absent pairs in even a few cases
might have material effect on the
outcome,
Mr.. Harding's advisers expect him
to set forth in vigorous manner his
reasons for q veto. From the first
he has insisted that bonus legislation
should carry a method of financing it
and he also has voiced his disapproval
of piecemeal payment TO the world wal
veterans. declaring that it would be
better to postpone payment than t.
make il in such a manner.
House Plans Action.
Should the bonus be returned to the
house. managers there planned to move
promptly to pass it over the veto. The
general belief at the capital was thai
the far more than the necessary two
thirds majority could be obtained there
to override the veto.
The bonus bill, bearing the sigma
lures of Speaker Gillett and President
pro Tempore Cummins of the senate
was taken to the White House late Sat
urday. Just before the bonus bill
reached the White House there was
presented at the executive offices 6
"request" to the president from tht
chamber of commerce Of the United
States to veto the bill.

ACCIDENT VICTIMS
IN AUTO UPSET ON
WAY To HOSPITAL
Fate Strikes Twice at Miss
Belle Casey and Richard

Two persons are in Columbus hos
pitaI, two cars are lying along the
Belt road, wrecked, and two other per
sons are whispering their thanks to
fate for their narrow escape as the
result of a double automobile accident
on the Belt Great Falls road early
Sunday morning.
Richard w. Wilson. superintendent
Of the Great Northern Coal mines,
sustained a broken shoulder, severe
body bruises and many cuts and
scratches, and Miss Belle Casey Of
Miles City, was badly bruised and
shaken up, when the automobile IN
which they were riding, a powerful
StutZ bear cat" whirled off the road
about three miles west of Belt tore
through Il fence and turned over in a
field about 80 feet from the road.
Both right wheels of the ear were
broken, the top and windshield were
demolished and the right tenders and
running board torn off by the crash
In short the car completely wrecked.

against his wrecked car, virtually help

into the Ford and the party continued
toward Great Falls. Within a couple

the south does not prove they are not
seeking the same aim.
Since the kaiser's fall little has been
heard from the protestants, who still
use that name. although ceasing to
protest against Rome like Luther or
Calvin. But secession in the church
is not so rapid as was expected, as
the people have felt the need for re-
ligion lust as they do after every great
catastrophe and expressed this need
also by running after theosophists,
concert room prophets and the like.
Working masses see in Christianity
only the beginning of a social move
ment to make the people inherit the
earth. The Prussian church repre-
senting the military and official class
upheld supreme welfare without arous-
ing public protest. but lost its point
when the Prussian king. its highest
bishop, fled and the people became
sovereign. This new church constitu-
tion, like the state constitution, IS be-
ing attacked because of its being toe
liberal although this liberty follows
Luther's teaching that Christianity
follows no supreme authority.
Most Germans know nothing OF this
quiet struggle and wish to know moth
ing They also do not notice the loud
er struggle in the market place. The
first attempt to find guarantees for
the treasury notes which Germany
must pay Belgium failed because the
German government wanted three
times as much breathing space as the
commission allowed. The Lubersac-
SHINES agreement was much more
productive than the thirteen confer
ences of statesmen. 1t grants France
help for rebuilding the devastated re-
gions and guarantees Germany against
unemployment when stagnation begins
It forms q bridge whereon two neigh
boring peoples can meet and realize
lucrative labor without customs re-
strictions.
With a Russian market similarly
opened, financial sanctity may be re.
stored. But even this welcome news OF
feeble beginning ia Franco-Ger-
man understanding seems too intently
communistic without loudly proclaim
ing that SHINES will make billions
while German workmen will bear the
yoke of French slavery.
Materialism has terribly ravaged the
hearts of the people in their sudden
fall from the heights. Everybody
thinks only of himself and his family
high living costs and the possibility
of making money by speculation. Il

Paris. Sept. 16.-Clemenceau's de-
cision to go to America to make
Frances voice heard and to express
his opinion regarding the rights and
duties of the allies has aroused in
France and elsewhere profound inter
est. Nobody should be more atten-
lively listened to, for nobody has main
tanned more rigorous silence during
the last three years.
The man who directed France dur
ing the war and especially through the
terrible crisis of 1917-1S can never be
resigned to the present spectacle OF
collective impuissance on the part of
the nations whose complete unity five
wears ago accomplished such great
things. We were convinced then that
no difficulty could resist co-ordinated
effort and action of the powers
grouped against German aggression.
Clemenceau. who retired swearing he
would never speak publicly again, could

origin of his action.

Clashes Prevent
Striking Shopmen
From Going to Work
(Tribune's Helena Bureau)

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Clashes between
union and non union workers, and
souabbles over the terms Of the Balti-
more peace plan. Saturday halted the
return of striking shopmen to work in
the shops here of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St Paul, and the Northwestern
railroads.
The demands of returning strikers
for concessions which were not pro-
vided in the peace agreement, were
blamed for the disorders.
While no disturbances were reported
in any of the Chicago and Northwest
ern shops, only handful of strikers
were back at work.

Berlin. Sept. 16-Two fights are
beginning in Germany-a quiet one IN
the church and loud one in the mar
ket place.
War defeats and tumbling thrones
hitherto have produced little effect on
Germany's two churches and the
pope's declaration that "the church
stands firm even in an earthquake,
reflected the situation even in the face
of some opposition in the Reichstag.
After the 1870 victory, Rome became
more powerful than ever and after the
1918 defeat the Catholic center party
held the balance of power. 1t pro-
duced three chancellors and filled many
high posts despite the loss of Afsace,
Posen, Upper Silesia and West Prus-
sia. Furthermore the Pope was rep
resented for the first time by an en-
voy in Berlin.
The Protestant clergy's power
of their being obliged in the pulpit TO
support the war loans, the surrender
of metal money and superfluouS food
stuffs. But the peasants wife, whose
love of church and respect for the con-
secrated clergy never fails, now has
made her husband return to blind
obedience to the church
The fight within the Catholic church
is one OF sharp DIVISIONS. III nortn
Germany the priests exhort their con-
gregations to respect the republican
constitution, while the Bavarian card
inal, Won Faulshaber, calls that con-
stitution a combination Of perjury and

Premier Lerchenfeld, are endeavoring
to restore the monarchy and place 9

the imperial German crown. The south
German state would be composed Of
Bavaria and Austria.
Centuries of existence, culminat-
ing in the bolshevik Tchitcherin's con

necessary, adapt itself to any form Of
state, and the fact that its northern
army pursues different tactics thar
