Thar* war* forty-four vote* In favor of refuting to sustain th* vote of Proaldent Hard tag, a total uf 71 vote* being cast, and that th* v*to might have boon overthrown required 48 votee, while bat 44 were registered. There will he all kinda of "lf»" and "and*" a* to what might have happened If there had boon a full at tendance of Senator*, but a Hum ming up of the Abaeateo and paired vote shows that aevon Senator* who favored th* veto wet* paired with fourteen Senator* who would have voted not to auetain, that there wen afcaent three Senator* not paired who were In favor of th* bill. the*e being Senator Klkins, West Virginia, Republican; Senator* Wataon, of j Georgia and Staney, of Kentucky, De mocrats. But even if they had been pre*ant their vote* would not have aaved the kill, for with three more votee added to the total then- would have been 7ft voting with ftO vote*! required to overturn the veto, while I the three vote* added to those raat' would have been but 47. The record1 ■how* that with all Senator* present and voting there would have been M votes to sustain the veto, with but tt required. The Houae thin rooming, by a vote i of MC to 64. voted to ovftoiitt the1 veto of the bonus. The vote wu an : overwhelming on* against Prealdent! Harding'* position, a repudiation of Ma argument, thin sustained by a narrow margin in tha Senate. In j the voting in both tha Houae and the; Senate tha North Carolina delegation was agatnat tha veto of tha President i and in favor of giving the adjusted compensation to the former aarvica men. Senator Overman, absent from tho Senate because of a fractured ankle, was paired against the veto,1 Onrreaaman Kitchen, aba^nt because of tha illneas, waa alao paired against sustaining tha Praaident. So the entira North Carolina delegation goea on record aa favoring tha soldier bonua. Both Senators Swanaon and Olsas. of Virginia, voted in favor of tha veto. Senator Smith in favor of tha bonua. The entire Booth Caro lina delegation in tha Houae voted against the veto, while Virginia split. The House moved swiftly this •tmlit, had m rtm out ths matter, and the isannsi—snl of the result fiwrinc the bom* by bit (I(wm M greeted by a storm of cheering and hand-clapping from both the floor and the galleries. Nineteen Democrat* and thirty-five Republi can* voted to nutate the veto. In the Senate the adverse vote aiaiut the bonus bill was greeted with abeo lute silence. As soon as the vote anas announced the galleries, occupied largely by men and understood to bo composed of Inrgs numbers of former service men, were smptied, signs of disappointment being in evidence on the faces of the as* as they loft. The Americas Lsgion force* kept up the fight to the last moment, bat to no avail. Thar* was • final ap peal made to the members of Con gress to enact the bonus bill over the President's vat*, but it did not change the result that had bean tors oast as to the rota in the Sonata. There was dintrtbutod to both mem bers of the Hone* and Senate this naming the final appeal of the togipn, this «tgned by Hsnford Mac Nider reading: "To members of ths Congress: After three years of careful consider ation ths representatives of ths pan pis in Congress have repeatedly given the adjusted rompeaeaUon legiala - tion their approval.

Fir* Accomplishes What The Sword Failed To Do Smyrna, Sept. 20.— Fire ha* ac cMplhiM for the what the. »word failed tn do Axis Minor, the cradle of Christianity, will soon be depopulated of Christian*. Many of those in Smyrna who were not snatched from death by American and other rescuers are disappearing into the hills, some voluntarily, many by force. Others arc dying of ex haustion, fright or exposure on the shattered stone waterfront of the t>enighted city. The only cry American corre spondents hear ia: "Won't America come and save us." Mustapha Kernel's order permit ting the American and allied ship* to enter the harbor to evacuate the victims has relieved the anguish of both refugees and relief workers, but every day's delay in the arrival of the vessels means the dsath of many. Less than fiO.OOO Christians re. msined huddled on the quay or in concentration camps oat of the ori ginal 260,000, and the wont fear* are entertained for those who were taken forcibly into the hiterler. The Turk ish edict has gone forth: "Christ ianity must be stamped out in Asia." The lack of food and clothing and the unspeakable sanitary conditions an adding to the horrors, and the people are obliged to eat the flaah of animals killed in the fire days The Amsrican Bluejackets have ran sacked the ships In the harbor for condensed milk for the famished babies and have given their coats to women. The nights are bitterly cold and the shivering fugitives srs taking refuge In the cellars of smouldering ruins; others have burrowed into the earth like animals af the wild. Mothers in bitter anguish and des pair are thrusting their babes into the tea. The combination of war and massacre, firs, drowning and (amines diseases has visited Imurge and havoc duos the defenseless Christian women and childrsn. One must go back to Pagan times to find a counter-part to the reign of fury, fire and famine which laid this gnat shrine of Christianity in ashes. .1 I ■ ■ I ■ Tkrw Automobfl— At Twh City StoUa Wlnaton-Salem, 8apt.

It would throw the Administration into a decidedly embarrassing posi tion politically, should the Republi cans lose the next House, in view of the Presidential campaign following the year after.
