Washington, Jan. 13.?Henry to Ford's offer for purchase and lease in of the government's nitrate and g water power projects at Muscle d Shoals Ala., will lie referred to route Kress for final decision, it was anr, noutued today at the conclusion of p coi.ferences between government ofli te rials and Mr. Fold. Accompanying k the Ford proposal when it is trans r nutted, Secretary Weeks said, probably would be the two offers received ie from Frederick Kngstvum of Wil? mington, N. C., and C. C. Tinkler of h San Francisco. c The decision to forward the three offers to the legislative branch of the n government, it was stated, was rearh d ed by executive officials lasting over a 'c period of more than six months. Un dcr the laws regulating disposition of real estate and other properties own?f ed by the federal government, it was *- said, the department officers lacked '. ? authority 10 take final action and were compelled to refer the Muscle 1S Shoals offers to congress for its con sidreation. (' Actual transmission of the proposals was not expected to take place ' for at least two weeks. It was oxd plained that the Ford proposal first n would be drafted in contract form by lS low officers of the war department and submitted to Mr. Ford for his " signature before it was submitted to K ongress. -< While the legal departments are working on the contract form, it was J- stated, Secretary Weeks would prepai'e a report for congress containing p' what "comments" he believed its n members should have for their information. Explaining the action taken "* by the conference, Secretary Weeks s said he was disappointed in that Mr. Ford declined to agree to certain modifications of his plans which werp held desirable by his conferees. One of these was known to be that affect ing the reduction of the 100 year *s lease period. The principal modification agreed to by Mr. Ford was that n guaranteeing payment annually of 4 '? per cent interest on the cost of maintenance of dams Nos. 2 and 3, regard*ff<fess of the cf6at, whereas at first he r" offered interest only on $28,000,000. l" Secretary Weeks' statement, explaining this agreement follows: "Mr. Hoover and I have had a long consultation with Mr. Ford about his f' offer for Muscle Shoals and have ,s brought up for consideration various phases of it. The only modification 1_ which Mr. Ford is willing to make lt is based on our request that there ^ should be a guarantee of the limita 'd Hrm r\t onst nf huilrlirx* rlnms Nos. 2 and 3 and in htat matter he has offered to pay 4 per cent interest on r" the cost of the dams from the time ,e of their completion to the expiration a of tho contract. That, of. course, 8* means on the amount of money which re has not been returned in tho govemin ment through the amoriti/.ation plan I made in the original proposal.

United States Lost Chance *y San Francisco, Jan. 13.?Woodrow vc Wilson declared in a letter written ,s by him January 3 to John H. Williams 'n of San Francisco and published in The Bulletin today, that failure of the senate to ratify the treaty of Versailles deprived the United States of the leadm ership of the world. His letter, in reply, to one from Williams saying his "* work had made possible the Washington conference on limitation of anna y' merits, said: d" "You are right In thinking that the United States was entitled to lendership in the league of nations; indeed, the countries associated with us in the war and the many less powerful governments which had benefited by the results of the war had already accord ed us leadership, and the pity of the 1? failure of the senate to ratify the ?t treaty of Versailles was not only that >r- the nations who took part in the franiM ing of the treaty were denied by our rtf act the justice they would secure by 'w its terms but also that the United ^ States was deprived of the leadership of the world." lis n- Miss Tena Morris is spending the week-end in Spartanburg. AIKEN BANKS I LOSE TO FORGERS Aiken, Jan. 13.?A trick which was practiced recently on banks in New- \ berry and Spartanburg was worked on three Aiken banks Thursday, namely, t. the Bank of Western Carolina, the 0 First National and the Farmers <?r w Merchants. I The sum of $708.00 was secured by L. forgers, who had laid their plans well, t having cut telephone wires to aid their project. Of the amount $294.00 j, was secured from the First National, ? $290.30 front the Farmers & Mer- | chants' and $182 front the Bank of (. Western Carolina. v At each hank two young men ap- j peared, and one of them, with lint cotton on his clothes, presented a check , front George K. Owens, a local cotton j buyer, signed "per h. E. Eubanks," son-in-law and elerk of Mr. Owens, | who as a general thing signs Mr. Ow- s ens' business cheeks. The checks were for amounts of several hundred dollars more than ^ was withdrawn by the young man, who informed the casliTer of the Farmers and Merchants' bank that lse " wished to make a deposit. lie said his mother had recently purchased a farm near town and that the bank ? had been recommended as being good. At the First National he did the same thing. The cashier at the West- v evn Carolina handed over the money for the check. These checks overdrew 0 slightly the account of Mr. Owens and s this is when the discovery forgery v took place. The police wire was also v cut. The names used as payee on 0 checks were E. P. Gaines, William 1 Willis and Artis Wilson. The forged signature was extremely hard to de- ^ tect. Police authorities have been ^ notified of this and tracers are being a sent far and near. ? ... v Armenian Population s Evacuates Country ?

SOLDIERS' BONUS BILL DEFERRED Washington, Jan. Id.?The soldier 4 bonus bill will not bo made n part of 1 the allied debt refunding bill, said Chairman McCunibor of the senate finance committee tongilit after a sej lies of conferences had been hbld ! between senate leaders to discuss the desirability of merging the two and it had become known at the White House that President Harding did not look with favor upon the suggestion that they In- comb :i <!.

Although the merger plan was originally received favorably by a number of the senate leaders the ptesidcnt was said to regard it as impractical and his view was reflected in further conferences today between the senate leaders. The president's objection to the merger were said by callers at the White llnii.se today to be based on bis desire for the assurance that | provisions definitely would ho made for payment of the bonus.

The president, however, was said to regard as impractical ?v suggestion that over $4,000,000 in the ^hands' of l he alien property custodian be used for bonus payment.
