Changes Republicans Re ly on Flexibility Feature. GRAVE CONCERN ARISES By MARK StLLIVAN WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Interest in the new tariff bill centers in the various provisions for changing the rates from' time to time without the action of congress. In every discussion of the probable effect of the bill on business and on politics, this feature is brought to the front. It is the flexibility of the bill and on the power of the president to change the rates from time to time that the Republicans rely to meet criticism. They believe they are in a position to say in answer to any attack made by the Democrats on any rate that this rate is not final, but is subject to revision by the president 1 at any time. But aside from arguments about any specific " rate, many thoughtful persons including both Democrats and Republicans find cause for grave concern in this flexibility feature and in the way it is to be administered. They put forward two objections. Pressure of Politics. One objection is that the flexibility feature affords room for the pressure of politics and for yielding to special interests to a greater extent than did tho fixed rates which have characterized all previous tariff bills. The second objection has to do with the added burden put upon whoever holds the office of president. They foresee that in the actual working out of the bill any manufacturer or any person affected by the tariff who thinks he could make more money if the rates were changed, or who thinks his business is endangered by foreign competition will at once appeal to his state senator or local congressman. The latter will bring him to Washington and ask for an interview with the president. A request for an interview made under such circumstances Is not easy to refuse. Places Added Burden. Thereupon there will be put upon the president in addition to his already too numerous hurdens the work of listening to a ciscusslon of the infinite complexities, involved in any tariff rate whatever. ' If the president i3 disposed to conserve his time and vitalitv he can reply merely that he will turn the matter over the tariff board for decision, and whatever the tariff board recommends, he will do. But anyone familiar with the way such things go knows that the parties interested will continue to bombard the president with requests for a personal hearing and review and any man in the White House would find it difficult to avoid the infinitely burdensome business of focusing his mind on question of tariff rates in hundreds of involved and technical fields. Menace of Addition During the debate on this feature o. the tariff bill a Republican senator re marked in a private conversation, "This provision is going to be adopted; but after it is I shall never want to be president." The menace of this addition to the claims on the president's time and at trntion will be realized by the many thoughtful persons who feel that already the immense number of involved questions put up to the president as a part of his daily work is beyond the capacity of any one human being. Any intelligent effort intended tc make the government at Washington more efficient would concern itself with subtracting from the number of thing3 the president must do rather than adding to them. In matters of the weightiest statesmanship, calling for the strongest and most delicate judgment the difference is great between a decision made by a rested man and that made by a tired one. When the Brain is Tired The influence on the course of events caused by the fact that decisions are somttimes made by men whose brains are tired is not often taken into account by the general public, but is well understood by observ4 prs close to the events.

Instance Chatham's gout and Napoleon's obsecure malady. The one lost America, the other Waterloo." Leaders Were Tired. To go back no more than a very short time there need be little doubt that on some vital points the peace conference at Paris would have taken a different direction if it had not been that all of the principal characters who took part in it had already been worn out intellectually ty their burdens in carrying on the war. This is more generally realized in the case of ' Mr. Wilson than in the case of the others. But in one degree or another it applied to a.ll of them. Mr. Wilson's breakdown in health did not reach the point where it was obvious to the world until some months after the peace conference ended. But the later historians who will study the peace conference minutely will realize that Mr. Wilson had come to be a little below his best in vigor some weeks before the peace conference began.

Disorders Decrease A marked decrease in strike disor ders since the restraining order was issued was pointed out by Blackburne Esterline .assistant solicitor general, as an indication that the Btrike was di rected from a single source.

President Harding in a proclamation issued today called upon the country to set aside Monday, Oct. 9, as fire prevention day, and to observe it in such a manner as to impress upon the peo pie the "importance of precautionary measures for the avoidance of fires." "It has long been a reproach of our country," the president said, in the proclamation,, "that by reason of poor construction, inadequate facilities for fire prevention and all too general carelessness about, possible causes of conflagration, our fire waste reaches figures year after year which are not approached in any other country in the world." EX-KAISER'S WEDDING OPPOSED BY FAMILY (By Associated Press) DOORN, Sept. 21. The marriage of former Kaiser Wilhelm will occur not with the freely given consent of the entire Hohenzollern family as reported from Berlin, but. despite their bitter opposition, and above all, against the strongly expressed wish of the Crown Prince, according to information secured from a source very close to the former kaiser. The relations between the Crown Prince and the former kaiser have later become very strained, it is stated. The Crown Prince over a fortnight ago instead of staying at Doom installed himself at the Amerongen castle with Count Bentinck. The opposition on the part of the Crown Prince and other members of the Imperial family, may be due, it is said, to financial reasons rather than to pride or cast.

GREECE THREATENED WITH FOOD SHORTAGE WORLD MUST ASSIST (By Associated Press) ATHENS, Sept. 21 WTith thousands of refugees arriving daily from Asia Minor and an insufficient wheat supply at home, Greece is confronted with a food problem so grave that interna tional help, given quickly, may alone save thousands from starvation. Already some 200,000 refugees are here, having been dumped unceremoniously on the Grecian shore or disembarked on the islands of the Aegean, where not only food but water is lacking. Three days' supply of wheat has been bought in Egypt and Greek banks have agreed to turn over to the government about 100,000 in foreign exchange to finance purchases ot wheat abroad. This will ensure a supply for a fortnight, after which it is hoped wheat may be available from Thrace and perhaps the United States. Meanwhile everybody here Is eatina bread made from unrefined wheat. t . 500.0CO Refugees & - Some' estimates placa the number of refugees likely to be sent to Greece as 500,000. The condition of the Greek treasury is unsatisfactory. Already the forced public loan carried out by reducing the value of paper money one-half has been practically exhausted. The government advanced funds to reimburse Americans so that they were not affected by the currency reduction when it was made effective. American refugees are sleeping in beats at Piraeus and on the floors of the Y. M. C. A. here. They have no clothing, having lost everything but the government has provided with blankets, and Queen Sophie has re quested that Scouloudis, a prominent Greek, to place his comfortable villa at Castello at their disposal. The queen also personally sent knives and forks for the use of the Americans, to whom she is grateful because of the assistance rendered by their countrymen to the Greeks during the Smyrna tragedy.

Many Members Not to Return

Even if Harding Gills Spe cial Session Have Eyes on Elections at Home. FEEL VACATION URGE By LAURENCE M. BENEDIST WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Congress today was preparing to quit and go home. The senate's action late yes terday sustaining President Harding's bonus bill veto, 44 to 28, was the last important act of the session. Facing the prospect of a summons back to Washington in November for a special sitting, many members said they would not return until December, even if President Harding called them. , The house, many of whose members departed today to begin campaigns for r&election, marked time while the senate tried to decide which of three bills it would dispose of before ad journing sine die. These included the Liberian loan, the anti-lynching and the deficiency appropriaton meas ures. The appropriation was the only one that seemed certain of passage, so determined was the opposition to the others. Feel Vacation Urne. Members expressed the hope today that President Harding would change his mind about calling a special session after the November election. Mr. Harding told a delegation of house and senate leaders who called on him yesterday, that he hoped they would adjourn until Nov. 15, and then take up the ship subsidy and other legislation which it was found impossible to handle at this session. Mr. Harding was told, however, that if he wanted congress back, he would have to summon it, as members would not agree to an adjournment that curtailed their vacation, which under ordinary circumstances would last until December.

INVESTIGATE. ACTS OF WOMAN "PONZI" (By United Press) COLUMBUS, Sept. 21. Authorities here today were asked to investigate the alleged activities of "a woman Ponzi" who is said to have secured more than $200,000 on promise to pay a3 high as 15 per cent interest. Fred Guth, a Pomeroy Baker is here in an attempt to find what became of $75,000 he loaned the woman on an un secured note. Guth's story resulted in complaints from many other residents of Pomeroy who believed they have been "taken in" by the bubble fman cier." Two sisters, Mrs. Lizzie and Bertha Seyfreid say they disposed of government bonds and gave the woman $39,000 for an unsecured note. The woman, who apparently had dis appeared today told glowing tales of get-rich-quick schemes being worked by a western relative to whom she was supposed to have given the money, "investors" said. One of the mys teries of the case Is how the woman succeeded in -keeping each person from whom she took money ignorant of the many others in the same giant "deal." Suspicions Aroused Until Guth brought his attorney to Columbus, in an effort to collect his $75,000 nobody apparently suspected anything was wrong. Guth's announced suspicions, however, was the signal for many others who immediately de manded a search for the woman. The little town of Pomeroy is wild with excitement, many residents claiming their lifelong savings are engulfed. The woman, whose son is a Columbus business man, has not been seen for several days, the son said today. He denied any knowledge of his mother's investments and said he did not know where she had gone. British Treasury Officii To Discuss Debt Finding (By Associated PressS LONDON, Sept. 21.

BONUS LEGISLATION FAILS AGAIN, SENATE VOTE SUSTAINS VETO (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. For a third time the soldiers' legislation has failed of enactment. The senate late yesterday sustained President Harding's veto of the Ford-ney-McCumber bill, the vote to 44 to 28 falling four short of the two-thirds majority that would have been necessary to have made it a law without the executive's signature. Five hours be fore the senate acted, the house overrode the veto 258 to 54. The action of the senate makes im possible veteran's compensation legis lation at least until the next session which will begin early in December. Meantime, however, it is the purpose of some proponents to continue the fight and the bonus may become an is sue in some of the congressional and senatorial campaigns this fall. . First- Bonus Bills . The first bonus bills were introduced In the house and senate early in the special session of the 66th congress, May 19, 1919. So many different proposals were offered on the house that all were referred to the J ways and means committee which began hearings on Sept. 29, 1919. No spokesman for veterans' organizations appeared, however, and action was delayed. Hearings were reopened by the committee on March 2, 1920, and continued for three weeks. The original "fivefold" plan was drafted and the bill reported to the house on May 21. It was pessed eight days later by a vote of 289 to 92, and was cent to the senate which referred it to the finance committee. That committee, reported out the bill on Feb. 28, 1921, but it failed with the adjournment of the 66th congress. . Progress of Bills. After the present congress was called in extra session by President Harding, convening April 11, 1921 numerous new bills were offered and on June 20, the finance committee reported out the "five-fold" plan with- the cash bonus feature. The senate sent this back to the committee, however, on July 12, at the request of President Harding. Last Jan. 31, the ways and means committee began new hearings and after some discussion and conferences with members of the finance committee and President Harding the bill killed yesterday was drafted. . It was reported to the house on March .14, and was passed on March 23, by a vote of 333 to 70. The day following it was sent to the senate to which, it .was. reported back from the finance commu te on June 8. On Aug. 31, .the senate passed it by a vote of 47 to 22. After two weeks in conference it was approved again by both . houses and sent to the president who vetoed It last Tuesday.

KEMAL GIVEN WARNING BULLETIN ' (By Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 21. The French and Italian detachments and flags were withdrawn today from the neutral zone of Ismad and the Dardanelles on orders from the respective governments. The lines are now held exclusively by British troops supported by the combined Atlantic and Mediterranean fleets. In the meantime the Kemalist vanguard is reported to have reached the neutral zone of the Dardanelles. The next few hours will show whether the Kemalists contemplate action. (By Unite(j press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 21. With Turkish forces rapidly concentrating on the border of the neutral zone, General Harrington, commander of Britain's near East army, today served notice on Mustapha Kemal that any advance into the inter-allied terri tory would be considered an act ot war. This was Britain's reply to the threat of Hamid Bey, Kemalist representative in Constantinople that the Turks would cross the neutral zone to invade Thrace if that province were not turned over to them immediately. Throughout the night British troops dug in on the Near East front, reinforcements going up from all the garrisons in Constantinople. The railway stations were crowded as wives of British officers and score. of other persons took their departure from the war zone. Prepare For Attack. In spite of General Harrington's warning, the Turk3 were reported bringing up artillery and cavalry and making every preparation for the attack. The British were throwing up defenses to command the two points at which the Turks are expected to strike, the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. These two narrow straits are the only ones the Turks could cross to invade Europe without warships and transports. (By Associated Press) PARIS, Septal. -There is no question of the Immediate withdrawal of the British troops from Chanak on tho Asiatic side of the Straits of the Dardanelles, it was authoritatively stated in British official circles here today. The latest reports received in British quarters from the Near East indicate that the British are not in danger of an attack in their present position and there are indications that the soldiers will remain in Chanak pending the peace conference. LONDON. Sept. 21. While the allied powers are feverishly endeavoring to arrange a peaoe conference to clean the slate between Turkey and Greece and prevent more fighting in the Near East, rumbles of impending hostilities continued to come from Constantin ople and the Dardanelles. A relativelv small force of British troops Is holding Chanak. the kev po sition on the southern shore of the 6traits, while the Turkish, nationalists. eager for further conquests after their overwhelming defeat of the Greeks are concentrated outside the neutral zone at Ismid and Chanak, impatiently awaiting the word from Mustapha Kemal Pasha to advance. Quantity of Guns. The Kemalists. official French dis patches say, have available for use In sucn a drive. 1,000 modern field guns. 5,000 machine guns, and enough ammunition for a two years' camnaiVn which they captured from the Greeks. it their spokesman at Constantin ople Is to be believed, the Turks are determined that the allies shall not stand in the path of their desire to reoccup? Thrace. An Associated Press dhrnatch nuotes this spokesman. Hamid sey, to tne etfect that the Kemalist array will certainly declare war on the British if they attempt to interfere with a movement across tho stratta Base Hope on Parley. Much hope is based on the result of the conference in Smyrna between Mustapha Kernel Pasha and General Pelle, French high commissioner, to which Yussuf Kemal Bey, the Nationalist foreign minister has been summoned hastily from Angora. The calling in of Yussuf Kemal points to the discussion of important and delicate questions, and the consequent delav raises hopes that the Turkish attack, if it takes place at all, will be retarded until the British reinforcements arrive. If fighting breaks out before that time, the question of the safety of the comparatively small British garrison at Chanak will become an anxious one here. Marshal Foch is quoted as saying that the position is absolutely untenable, except if held by a very considerable force, while Field Marshal Plumer; who has been inspecting the British defenses, is said to have sent a message, which Prime Minister Lloyd George communicated to the cabinet, to the effect that hehas great confidence in the results of the collaboration between Brigadier General Harington and Rear Admiral Brock. Opinion here for the moment Is banking on the strength of the British naval force in the Dardanelles, which is considered sufficient alone to hold any possible attack of the Turks. No details are available of the burning of Panderma, on the southern shore of the sea of Marmora, as announced in official French circles last night. It is stated, however, that the Greeks burned part of the town before leaving. According to the Times,' the Russian soviet government sees In tho (Please Turn to Page Seven)
