'.ENGLISH MAKE MOVE
TO ATTAIN HARMONY
Lord Curzon Will Attempt tConvert
- French to British Policy--Eng
land to Act Even Though
Other Nations Fail to
Lend Aid
London, Sept. 19 (By the Associated
Press).-For the time being the scene
shifts to Paris where Lord Curzon,
the British secretary for foreign af
fairs, will seek to attain harmony of
views betwen his own and the French
government. The ministerial confer
ences in London have ended for the
moment, and Premier Lloyd George
has gone to the country for a few
days' rest.
That the general situation is re
garded aseasier is shown by the fact
that Mustapha Kemal Pasha, leader of
the Turkish nationalists, is apparently
making no new move, although accord
ing to an Athens report which has
reached London, he left Smyrna for
Nicomedia, adjoining Ismid, south of
Constantinople, while it is said to
night that Admiral Earl Beatty may
find it unnecessary to proceed to
Paris.
On the other hand, perhaps, the
-most important news o fthe day comes
. in the Associated Press dispatches
from Constantinople stating that
Kemal has sought permission of the
allies to occupy part of Thrace imme
diately and discuss the question. of
the status of the Dardanelles later in
connection with the general pea.e
problem and with the participation of
the Black Sea countries.
This touches the crux of the whole
question. There may possibly be an
agreement letween Great Britain,
France and Italy on the question of
the neutrality o1 the straits and . a
further agreement that Constantinople
shall eventually be returned to. the
Turks under certain conditions. But
on the question of the future of
Thrace, outside the neutral zone, such
an agreement is lacking.
Kemal Pasha seemingly takes the
view that there is nothing in the
maintainance of the neutrality of the
straits and the neutral zone to pre
vent hia forces from pursuing the de
feated Greeks into those portions of
Thrace outside the neutral zone. The
British contention is that under no
circulstances wil lthe Turks be al
lowed to cross into Europe until peace
has been settled. But is not certain
that France . sees eye to eye with
Great Britain in this matter.
The fact that France and Italy are
rithdrawing.. their. detachments from
this ;egion\vould indicate tiere is ladk
of agreement and that Great Britain
may be called upon to act alone.
In that case it is understood parlia
ment will forthwith be summoned so
that,tho ,nation may have a voice .in
the important question of peace or
wvar. The labor party is displaying
.very determined oposition to an~y
wpar until the-last resources of diplo
*macy and negotiation are exhausted
and a safmilar dispositiontiappears' to
prevail in the great dominions, deC
spnite' their readiness to stand beside
the mother .country in defense of the
neutrality of tflie Dardanelles.
In official circles in -London it -is
not anticipated that there will be any
peace conference. It is understood in
structions given to Lord Curzon by the
cabinet on the general line of policy
are to intimate very frankly to M
Poincare that if France refuses to
participate In necess~ry action in the
Near East, she may Rtand to lose, as
she did many years ago, when she re
fused to join England in the bombard
ment of Alexandria and so started a
train of events *hich brought 'Egypt
under British influence.
. M. Poincare will be told that Eng
land is absolutely set In her view that
the Turks shall not be permitted to
enter Europe and , that Great Britain
is prepared to employ her own 'forces
in sufficient numbers and over any
length of time to bring the Turks to
reason. She will be also informrped
that assurances -have been received
from Rumania and Jugo Slavia that
under certain conditions those coun
tries will side with Great Britain.
. It is reported Premier Lloyd George
is prepared to make a general appeal
to the civilized world to support the
British- policy. He has been in eon

vicinity. Sixty-seven have pledged
themselves henceforth to so honor
God's, word.
Invitations have been pouring into
the program-publicity committee, bf
which Mr. Charlton DuRant is chair

that hour, whether the invitation is
for a team or any individual merber
of the Club.

RESCUERS CARRYING
BODIES FROM MINE
Jackson, Calif., Sept. 19 (By the
Associated Press).-Five bodies of
miners entombed 22 days by a fire
in the Argonaut gold mine, were
arougl.t to the surface today. The
United States bu-eau of mine crew
wrapped the bodies in canvas where
they were foun:l last night in the
1350 foot level of the Argonaut and
carried them through the Kennedy
mine adjoining. Three of the dead
were identified. The work of brilig
ing out the 47 victims of the fire'
i(d the poisonous gases will continue
until all have been recovered.
A coroner's jury will be sworn in
tomorrow by Mrs. Lola Potter, the
coroner, to view the ill fated miners.
An inquest probabl ywill be held
Thursday. It is not expected the
responsibility for the disaster will be
fixed.
Persons without passes or business
at the Kennedy mine were ordered
ofI the property and there was no
demonstration when the rescue crews
appeared at the collar of the Kennedy
shaft with their human burdens.
A check of the names of the dead
showed seven Were American barn,
twenty in Italy, 13 in Jugoslavia and
four were of Spjanish or Mexican ah
cestry. Others could not be checked.
The state compensation fundl is ex
pected to pay about $100,000 to the
dependents of the mine disaster. In
addition the state allows $100 for
.ach burial and the Argonaut <om uly
has added $25 to each case.
E. A. Stept, vice president of the
Argonaut company, said he felt the
fire was unavoidable and his co p~any
had done everything possible to res
cue the men. Hie declared he would
welcome an official investigatIon.

PRESIDENT HARDING
VIJOES BONUS BILL
House Hears Message in Silence and
and Defers Action Until Today
OPPONENTS EXPECT
VICTORY IN SENATE
Lower House Expected to Override
Chief Executive Rut Margin of
Two Votes is Claimed in
Upper Body. Has
Many Objections
Washu.,gton, Sept. 19.-President
larding "etoe(l the soldiers' bonus
bill today, informing congress in a
written message that while he was in
accord with "the avowed purpose"
of the measure he did not subscribe
to its provisions.
The executive's action was regard
ed generally in Washington as mak
ing improbable a bonus for the
World war veterans, at least for some
time to cone, as it apepared to be
almost certain that the veto would
be sustained by the senate. A vote
in the house was planned for tomor
row with senate action to follow later
in the day or on Thursday.
Mr. Ilarding set forth a number of
reasons for returning the bill to the
house without his approval. These
included:
Failure of congress to provide a
means of financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
That the legislation would wipe out
everything thus far accomplished to
reduce government expenditures
wherever possible.
That a peace bestowal on the ex
service men was "a perversion of
public funds." and suggested "that
future defense is to b inspired by
compensation ratht'r th:mn cons' ous
ness of duty to flag and count -y."
That to add ore-sixth of the total
sum of the public debt for distribu
tion among less than 5,000,000, cf 110
000,000 people would undermine ec,nfi
dlence. The public credit was build
ed, and "established the precedent of
distributing public funds whenever
the proposal and the numbers affect
ed make it seem politically appealing
to (10 so."
That the $10,000,000,000 of matur
ing public debt in the next six years
would be difficult to meet without
adding the complication of added bor
rowings on account of a bnus.
That the adjusted service certifi
cate plan of payment, with its hank
and government loan provisions, was
little less than a certified inability of
the government to pay and invited
,"a practice of sacrificial barter" by
the veterans.
That the bonus would not diminish
the later obligation in the way of
pensions to the World war veterans.
Would Cost Billions
Asserting that this obligation would
"cost more billions than I venture
to suggest," the president declared
that a rational financial policy today
is necessary to make t he na tion ready
for the expenditure which is certain
to be required in the coming years."
Mr. Hlardling also called attention to
the sums now being expcnded for
the care of the diseasedi, dlisabled
or dlependlent and asserted that the
total cost of this wvork, wvith insu.ranv'e
liability add~ed. Prob~ably wo)uld ex.
eeed $25,000,000.
Only once did the president refer
to the interest on the foreign dlebt
out of which prop~onents of th~e bonus
have contended it could be paid. lie
told congress that the governmer t was
facing a dleficit of $650,000,000 durintg
the current fiscal year and a further
dlefieit for the year succeedling "even
after counting upon all interest eol
lections on foreign indeobtedness which
the government is likely to receive."
As to the immedliate andl ultimate
cost of the bonus, Mr. Harding said
this was not dlefinitely knowvn. Trea
sury estimates, based on wvhat
seemedl the most likely exorcise of
the options, he continued figured the
dlirect cost at $796,000,000) for the
first four years andl a total cost in
excess of $4,000,000. Hie added that
no estimate of "the larger indirect.
cost" ever had been made.
The veto message was transmitted
to the house by a White Hlouse
messenger and its reading by a clerk
was begun seven minutes after its
delivery at 3:10 p. nm. There was a full
attendasnce of mlemb~ers, many of wvhom
had returned to the capital to vote
on the question of over ridling the
veto.
The readling was given close at
