Fleet on Way. Constantinople, Sept. Iff. the en tire Kritish Atlantic fleet is being dent to reinforce the Mediterranean fleet for the protection of Constanti nople and the straits of the Darda nelles This undoubtedly will rreate the most formidable armada of warships ever assembled in an area of like si.e, em bracing the most modern dread naitglits. battle cruisers, destroyers, submarines and aircraft carriers. British oliicials here feel confident that if the allied laud forces are not sufficient to check an attack on the Dardanelles by th; Turkish national ists, the combined fleet, together with French and Italian war vessels, will be more than adequate. There is an increasing feeling of security among the population of Constantinople as a result of Great Britain's energetic measures. The highest military authorities declare the Turks will not commit the folly of opposing such overwhelming forces. Allied Chiefs Meet.

Veto of the soldiers' bonus bill by President Harding was expected gen erally by congressional leaders and Hilniiui.siration officers. Some of Mr. Harding's advisers said bis message practically had been completed and they looked for him to send it to the house Tuesday. Leaders in congress were making plans with a veto in mind. In the house it was the intention to defrr action mild Wednesday so as to keep a working quorum on hand for disposition Tuesday of important conference reports on the measures. A senate vote might be deferred until Thursday, depending largely upon the hour of the, bouse vole. Meantime, however, both opponents and proponents were marshalling their forces with indications that the roll call would show the largest at tendance of senators in months. Veterans Make Final Pleat, Headed by Hanford MacXider, na tional commander of the American Legion, a delegation representing various veterans' organizations called at the White House to make a final request of the president that he sign the bonus mea'iirc. Some member of the delegation said the president bad not stated "whether he owuld approve the measure," while, others said they gathered the impres sion that tlie executive would veto the bill now before him. Commander MacNider told Mr. Harding that "we have no threats to make politically." but that the organizations hoped "the will of the American people as expressed by the action of congres, will be carried out.'' Some members of the delegation quoted the president as saying that ht would glad to see a bonus meas ure enacted into law if lie were con vinced that it would not ntail a greater cost to the government tha:i $10,000,000,000, and would take care of the able-bodied veterans for all time. They said, he added, however, his belief that there would be an ultimate outlay of $50,000.0000. Line Up Forces. Apparently convinced that the house would vote by a large ma jority o overrule a veto, senate foes of the bonus redoubled their efforts to obtain a safe margin there. They claimed .54 senators as certain, with the probability that by the time a vote came this number would be increased to ot or four more than the one-third necessary to sustain a veto; Present expectations are that 15 senators favorable to overriding a veto will be absent with only four or possibly five of the opponents. Graft Is Charged in U. S. Bank Build: ma Washington, Sept. 18. Attacking former Governor Harding of the federal reserve board and "Wall street" again in the senate, Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, ex pressed belief that there was mil lions of graft in the new buildings erected by four of the federal re serve banks, lie also charged that a secre tranvass of the senators was being made to ascertain whether Mr. Harding could be confirmed if reappointed to the reserve board. The Alabama senator declared former Governor Harding, while head of the federal banking system "permitted four bank officials to set aside $-W,000,INMI for four bank buildings," and added that S.'O.Oml,. 000 of this amount, if not spent for new buildings would have gone into the treasury.

Sept. 18 The question of where the Rev. l.d ward H.

Senate to lake Final Action on Tariff BillToday Vole on Adoption of Confer ence St-l for 1 o'clock l'aoral)le Outcome lt Predicted. Washington, Sept. 18. (By A, Tt) Final legislative action on the ad ministration tariff bill at 4 Tuesday wasagrecd upon late "today by the senate. At that hour the vote will be upon adoption of the conference report with no doubt of favorable action. After the senate vote the measure will be made ready for President Harding and will become a law on the day following bis approval of it. In the four hours' debate that is to precede the final vo,et, democrat ic opponents plan to continue their final fight on the bill, which was opened today by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, minority leader in the. tariff fight. Speaking for more than three hours, he assailed the bill as one that would increase liv ing costs by billions of dollars a vear and would result in the forma tion oi hundreds and thousands of trusts and combinations in restraint of trade. The attack on the measure was not confined to the democratic side, Sen ator Cameron, republican. New Mex ico, denouncing the action of the sen ate proposal to impose a tariff of 7 cents a pound oii long staple cot ton, lie indicated that he would vote against the conference report. Kfforts of the democrats to get the bill back into conference to limit the authority of the president in the matter of proclaiming Aintriean val uation failed, Senator Cummins, re publican, Iowa, president pro-tem-pore, overruling a point of order that the conference had exceeded their au thority in broadening the powers of the president so as to permit of American valuation on other than coal taf products. While the senate was arguing the tariff bill the house w.ts and means committee began consideration of a resolution for continuation for 'X) d.i s of the daye enibaigo licensing sys tem act. which would be repealed by the tariff bill, biiial decision went over until iuesil.iv.

The crews found a bulkhead in front of it. breaking it open they found the I nir bad they are waiting to clear the air before entering the second bulkhead. Whether the men arc dead or alive ran not yet be determined but they may be alive. The fir.tt official bulletin giving hope of rescue follows: have been to the 4. 201) station ami found the shaft all right at that point. They went to the top of of the raise from the 4,350 level and found no indications of men having climbed up recently. They have not explored the crosscut on the 4,2K0. To Explore Crosscut. ''They are going to do that nw and are going to start building the bulkhead in the main Argonaut shaft above the 4,200 level. "They requested all the flash lights that could be spared and ex tra balteries for the flashlights al ready down there. They stated they would need group C for sev eral hours, probably not until eve ning." The significance of this bulletin was that it meant the entombed men might be alive, apparently hav ing escaped the perils of fire on the lower levrls of the Argonaut. Tt makes plain that the tire has not burned down to the 4.200-foot level. There was intense drama in the foreman's shack when the telephone jingled three times. It was 1:40 this afternoon. H. W.
