While his buddies shouted and stamped their approval, retiring National Commander Hanford MacNlder opened the fourth annual convention of the American Legion here Monday with a militant bonus declaration that the soldiers fight has only just began. From out of the long, hard battle he and his" aides directed unsuccessfully to put the adjusted compensation' bill over the top at Washington, MacNider asserted that no one man untouched by war, without kith or kin to those who .served, no one group, financial or otherwise, can stand between the wishes of the American people and the fulfillment of what they believe to be a just obligation. He made no direct reference to the Veto by President Harding of the bonus measure, nor to the little group of senators who sustained the veto, but he left ho doubt as to whom he referred as he carefully aimed edch of his barbed verbal shafts at the opponents of "adjusted compensation for the nations the Washington. Notwithstanding fact there are no legal restrictions upon the amount of money that may be expended for campaign purposes this fall it is entirely probable, according to party leaders in Washington that fewer dollars will be spent in the 1922 congressional election by both Republican and Democratic parties than In any campaign in recent years. It is no sudden attack of political conscience that has decreed this state of affairs it is a necessity, and grim, cold poverty. Both Republican and Democratic national organizations are broke at least badly bent. While leaders display a disinclination to talk publicity about the state of party finances, privately they declare that organization funds are lower now than they have ever been at this stage of the game, with Collections coming slower and slower. Senator Medill McCormick, Republican, of Illinois, and Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts, chairman of the senatorial campaign committee, have had scouts out beating the financial bulrushes for weeks, but it has been slow work and not very productive, according to reports to headquarters.

It Is a question of promises unfilled, a question of whether the man wfho offered his life to his country In time of need is to be left with the feeling that his country is unjust and ungrateful.

Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans have been able to pay off the deficits that were Incurred during the campaign of 1920. The Republican national committee faced an indebtedness of more than $1,000,000 at the close of 1922, only about half of which has been paid off. The Democrats were in the hole to the extent of some $250,000 a part of which has been discharged. - .

The apprehension among the people was stimulated by the recollection of sim-llishocks, although much less violent, which occurred in 1917 and continued a whole month.

President Harding .is willing to call an international economic conference any time that world conditions appear to be favorable to the success of such a gathering. But absolutely no x steps toward launching such a project will be Mien by Jihis government until tbep resident and Ms advisers. are convinced that conditions are such that the worldB economic problems will yield to peaceful settlement around the conference table as did the world's naval problems at the amament conference last winter. This was the explanation put forward in official quarters Thursday for renewed reports in foreign capitals that the United States would shortly Inaugurate a second Washington conference to deal this time With the vexing economic problems that have brought Europe to the verge of another war. So circumstantial were the reports that from Toklo came press dispatches reporting the Japanese government as anticipating such an invitation and willing to accept it. While entirely willing to undertake such a project In the same Bplrlt that actuated the calling of the armament conference it is nevertheless the unanimous opinion of the president and his closest advisers that world conditions are not now favorable to the success of any international conference, whether inaugurated by America or some other nation. And until conditions abroad become more settled, -- it was said Thursday, the United States will pursue Its present policy of aiding Europes rehabilitation wherever possible and - In such ways as to bring no involvment in European bickering and politics. Severe pressure has been brought to bear on the administration to dip in abroad. It has come not only from abroad, but also from American bankers who believe that without in European American participation counsels Europe is doomed. Find Oil in Navajo Land Shiprock, N. M.

RANDOLPH, RICH COUNTY, UTAH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922. YEAR. H - Washington. A tentative agree ment has been reached between President Harding and legislative leaders to iummon Congress back to Washington in extra session on November 20,-- - thirteen days after the country 'decides on the political complexion dYthenew Congress at the polls, It was learned Friday. ''flifcf decision resulted from a'Berles of conferences the president had held with Republican leaders at the White House this weelr at which a fairly comprehensive program for the expiring 67th Congress was agreed upon. The call probably will be issued on November 10. It is the present plan of the White House to drive the dying 67th Congress full tilt right up to March 3, the date of its legal expiration, and then not call the new 68th into session until the regular winter session begins in December. Mr. Harding desires to get Congress back on a basis of normalcy. This embraces the elimination of the almost continuous extra sessions which Washington has witnessed since the beginning of the Wilson administration in 1913. It is the president's opinion that Congress should not be in Washington all the time as it has been for the last ten years. He thinks Congress should spend five or six months here and then go home. At the presidents direction, Senator Warren, of Wyoming, and Representative Madden, both Republicans, chairmen of the senate and house appropriation committees, are remaining over in Washington and working continuously to get the appropriation measures in shape for immediate presentation to Congress in December. The president plans to go to the Pacific coast and thence to Alaska, starting next May or June to be gone several months, and he cannot well go if Congress is sitting in the capitol. He thinks next summer will be an ideal time to get Washington back to nor. malcy. Railroad tot Spend Much Money The Union Pacific railway system is now committed to a program of development of the Industrial and scenic resources of the southwestern part of Utah, tributary to the Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad lines, Involving the expenditure of somewhere In the neighborhood of Salt Lake. Athens. Turkeys suggestion that the near east peace conference be held at Smyrna should be rejected once for all by the powers if they have any consideration for the health of their d'elegates, in the opinion Nof American relief workers, some of whom have arrived at Athens from Smyrna with strange skin maladies requiring medical treatment. They report that sanitary conditions in Smyrna are unspeakable; the bodies of horses and other animals and some of the Smyrna residents who were killed in the disaster are still found in Ihe streets. Harry Ellsworth Boyde of Pittsburg, Pa., auditor of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. in Turkey, arrived here Sunday after escorting 700 refugees ' to Mitylene aboard the United (States, shipping board steamer Casey. He is a member of the committee organized by Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol and has been working In close cooperation with A. K. Jennings of the Y. M. C. A. In his relief efforts. Mr. Boyde said to the Associated Press correspondent: The 700 refugees just taken from Mlitylene were the last to be taken out of Smyrna. Their condition was terrifying. These people were actually being devoured alive by flies. It Is so throughout Smyrna, for flies, thriving on the decomposed matter lying about, have multiplied by millions. No girls between the ages of 15 and 25 were found in our band of refugees j they had been taken .by the Turks. Captain Glover of the Casey, by strategy, saved the lives of seventy young Greeks, former army officers. He was sauntering through the streets of Smyrna when he found the Greeks under arrest and began to berate them o for having abandoned his ship, beat them unless they returned instantly. The Turks were much amused, and, forseeing dire punishment for the Greeks at the hands of the American allowed them to reach the steamer. Captain Glover hid them in the hold until the vessel reached Mitylene. Mr. Boyde told how an aged woman refugee, mad with hunger, seized his wrist as be was waiting on the quay, imploring him to rescue her. In her frenzy she accidently lacerated his arm, and, "he believed, infected him. A violent eruption was caused, whicn spread to his forehead. This skin eruption is appearing In Athens among foreigners who come In contact with refugees. It also is developing among those who meet refugee workers. The indications are that Immediately effective organization Is necessary if serious pestilence is to be avoided in Greece. threa-teningt- Adrlanople. The Greek military authorities have announced that the evacuation of the Greek army in Thrace will take place in three stages, first, In the Adrianople district; second, around Rodosto, and third, at the Maritza river. Five days will be allowed each section to evacuate. The allies officers have been directed to refuse inflexibly any extension of th five-da- y pefriod. Greek headquarters will remain at Rodosto until October 30. One of the questions which arose was concerning the telephone and telegraph wires under equipment which for the Greeks were dismantling transfer to Greece. They said they found the country denuded of such means of communication when they entered and that therefore they purposed to leave It in the same state. Allied officials have filed a protest. Confirmation of this plan $5,000,000. has been given at the general offices in Salt Lake of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad and the Oregon Short Line, following intimations made during a program of investigaLegion Convention Now On tion and preliminary Work which has New Orleans, La.
