T.V THE CLOISTERS OF WESTMINSTERAbbet, London, Feb. 28.."Lucky Jsthe bride the sun shines on." Beneaththe shrino of Edward the Confessorthe register was signed to-day and thefirst congratulations were showeredupon the royal bride. A brilliant rayof sunshine fell across the ancienttable on which the register lay.atable reputedly that once had a placeon Westminster's high altar.and litup the faces of the bride and bride¬groom as they exchanged their firstkiss as man and wife.As I was busy about the Abbey at
an early hour, my first impressions re¬solved themselves into a blaze of color.Their Mijestles' bodyguard, gentle¬men at arms, yeomen of the guardand stewards In court dress and everyvariety of military uniform wereslightly relieved by the black andwhite of the fortunate King's scholarsof Westminster School, who filled inthe background of the picture. A dif¬ferent touch came with the arrival ofthe bridesmaids, a touch of dainty sil¬ver-white shining out against t/|-dark background of the Abbey's greatwest doors.Very stately was the entrance of the
Queen, looking more radiant than everbefore. Most touching was that of theQueen Mother, "your affectionate Gran¬nie," as she signed herself on the cardaccompanying her wedding prenent totho Princess Mary. She was tenderlywaved on by her pair of Princes. PrinceHenry and Prince George, the latter areal sailor. The Duke of York, In theuniform of the Royal Air Force, and tholast Abbey bride, Canada's darlinjr, LadyPatricia Ramsey, stood out in the pro¬cession.
The Bride Arrive*.It was the first boll of St. Margaret's
that announced tho approach of thebride and her royal father. The wordsof command to the guard of honor andtho strains of the national anthem camein from the sunshine outside, and thefairest vision of the day burst upon allwho were happy enough to be presentThe bride herself had arrived.Her bridesmaids curtsied and took up
their positions. After a brief welcomefrom the Dean of Westminster to theroyal visitor a signal was given andthe procession moved forward. TheDean and the chapter were resplendentIn the crimson of Edward's coronation.Then immediately after the Dean hisMajesty the King and his fair daughtertook their places and the processionmoved forward to the strains of thefirst hymn. Princess Mary's own selec¬tion, "Lead Us, Heavenly Father."Already the bridegroom, followed by
his best man, had been shown to hisplace Just wjthfh the rail. He arousedthe deepest Interest, not untlnged withsympathy for the ordeal which lay be¬fore him. Now ho took his stand be¬side his Princess facing the Dean ofWestminster, the Archbishop of Canter¬bury. the Precentor, the cross of West¬minster and the metropolitan cross ofCanterbury, and the Archbishop beganthe exhortation.
A Srrlonn Connie.The seriousness of the bride and
and bridegroom at this portion of thoservice was entirely In keeping withthe Archbishop's solemn charge. Thebest mnn faithfully discharged his of¬fice, and "Henry George Charles" took"Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary" to behis wedded wife. A« so often the rase.the bride. If anything. «»cemed a littlemore self-possessed than the bride¬groom In the matter of responses.The second part of the service began
with the singing of Psalm LXVJI., whenthe bride and bridegroom, followed byonly two of the bridesmaids, moved tothe step* of the altar. The Archbishopof York took up his share of the ser¬vice. and the Dean blessed the happycouple, who stood to listen to the mov¬ing words of the Archbishop of Canter¬bury.
Never, surely, did bride arid bride¬groom show more clearly the lessonof tho serious years through which atihave piuised. and to which the Primatealluded than did Prlnco«« Mary andViscount I»a*cellcs as they stood alonebefore the high altar ul which ourKings and Queens arc crowned. Itcould scarcely be realized that theconditions ever had been parslleled.that Princess Mary herself had beenthrough Just the same training thou-sand# of her sisters gladly faced, andthat in the shrine where sre bound upall the traditions of English speakingpeoples she was marrying the man ofher heart, who had been among thefirst to face the peril that menacedthose traditions.Then, slowly, the bride and bride-
groom turned to face- the vast as«em-blnge and stepped forward toward therail, he holding Mary's left hand highin his right. As they stepped downfrom the sanctuary througli the openranks of bridesmaids both smiled. Thebridal march from Oounod'n "Romeo etJuliette" timed them to the door, andas the King and Queen began theirmarch the organ burst Into the familiarstrains of Mendelsohn, and the greatceremony was over.

He rose fromhis pieat beside Queen Mary. stoopeSand straightened the carpet and resumedhis seat. But apparently he had notsmoothed all the wrinktes, for whenthe King bearing the bride on hisarm reached the top stop a momentlater he tripped, but quickly regainedhis polso by bracing his arm against therailing.The bride swayed perceptibly and
seemed quite nervous as the ceremony,which scarcely exceeded ten minutes, 'be¬gan.

Failure to Ratify TripartiteAgreement Encouraged Ger¬
many, Say French.
BARRING ARMY LIMITS
Made it Necessary for Franceto Retain 18 Months'
Service.
By LAURENCE HILLS.Special Cable to Thi New York Ilnut.D.
Copyright, 19tt. by The Nbw Yobk Hbbald.New York Herald Bureau.)
Paris, Feb. 28. f"The failure of England and America
to ratify the tripartite agreement, there¬by encouraging Germany not to carr>out the stipulations of the Treaty ofVersailles, which was intended to limither forces, makes it absolutely necessaryfor Franco to maintain eighteen monthsconscription service at least for thepresent," Deputy Jean Fabry told theChamber of Deputies to-day In openingthe debate of French military reorgani¬zation.
There has been an Impression latelythat the Government might reduce itsdemands for a large army once theAnglo-French pact had been signed, butthe advocates of the bill declare thatuntil It is known that Germany hasabandoned her idea* of revenge eitheragainst France or Poland It will be vir¬tually Impossible to come down to thehalf million men whlc(h would be af¬forded by a conscription period or asingle year.
AnKlo-Frrnch P*«t Expected.The Foreign Office professes not ti>
know how far the Anglo-French pacthas developed, but expeota an earlysignature In satisfactory form. Cocntede Saint Aulalro, French Ambassador toGreat Britain. Is still pressing Lord Cur-zon. Secretary of State for ForeignAffair?, to include attacks on Germany seastern neighbors as being equallydangerous to France's Interests and tomake the duration of the pact equal tothat of the Ilhlne occupation, subject torenewal for definite periods. The NewYork Herald correspondent was assuredto-day, however, that neither of theseproposals has yet been accepted by the
'^Deputy Fabry, as the reported generalfor the Government's bill which will re-duce France's army to approximately675,000 men, aroused only occasional in¬terest by repeating the arguments thathave prevailed for the last two years.
Compromise Memurt Hkfly.In fact continual expressions ot^ dis-
sent came from the Left as M. I- abrydeveloped his arguments, and althougha month ago the Government seemedcertain of a fairly large vote for itsarmy bill it is now evident that theBoncour bill providing for less than ayear's military service and the bill pro¬posed by Gen. dc Maud'huy demandinga reorganization of the wholo armyalong more economic lines by cuttingdown the Rhine forces already havemade progress which is likely to forcethe Government to compromise.M. Fabry insisted that Germany not
only has great chemical, metallurgicaland aviation reserves capable of beingused in a war of revenge but that herpopulation is greater than that ofFrance and that she has an army of500,000 men concealed In skeleton for¬mations In the Rcictiswehr and policeorganizations, plus 7.000.000 men trainedin the use of arms. All these things,he said, made it essential for Francenot to relinquish the Rhine guard."Even the United States, who had no
frontiers to defend, did not understandthe necessity for conscription until theirfrontier became that extending fromNietiport to Belfort," said M. Fabry incomparing the American idea of an ex¬peditionary force with the need for anational army to protect France's landfrontiers.

to the bonus propagandists continue tourgo on Mr. Fordney and his associatesthe necessity of preventing reprisalsthreatened by the raiders.A number of Senators and Representa¬
tives who hoped the President wouldprove susceptible to the tremendouspressure brought to bear by the Ameri¬can l«egion and other advocates of theraid expressed great disappointmentwhen they learned that he will proposeno further suggestions regarding thefinancing of it to supplement those con¬tained in his letter to Chairman Ford¬ney. \The increasing number of Senators
and Kepresentatives who wer© originallyopposed to the bonrua scheme for eco¬nomic as well as moral reasons andthose who have changed their minds re¬garding it were encouraged to venturethe prediction to-night that no bill willbe passed by the present session of Con¬gress and that the harassed leaders ofboth parties will be compelled to advo¬cate the pigeonholing of all bonus meas¬ures for the present session.The construction placed on the letter
of the President to Mr. Fordney by bofcisupporters and opponents of the bonusscheme was that he would veto arty billtiiat did not propose a sales tax as themethod for financing the $5,000,000,000enterprise.
Swttohlnsr Senate.
Since the people of the country haveexpressed their opposition in no un¬mistakable terms and astounding vol¬ume there has been a pronounced changeof Senatorial sentiment regarding thobonus. The New York Herat.d theother day printed a list of twenty-fourSenators who had notified ex-servicemen among their constituents that thejhad decided to vote against the raid.Several of these Senators, IncludingSenators Glass of Virginia,, Shields ofTennessee, Williams of Mississippi andDial of South Carolina. Democrats, andNelson of Minnesota, Borah of Idaho.Wadsworth of New York and 'Pepper ofPennsylvania, Republicans, rebuked con¬stituents who threatened them with po¬litical reprisals if they did not vote forthe bonus.The action of these Senators has en¬
couraged others, who are ready to'vot^against the imposition of further bondobligations and taxes on the people oftho country in tho present condition oftho national finances and agriculturaland industrial elements.The announcement that the President
has not revised the opinion expressed inhis letter to Mr. Fordney makes it quitecertain that more than a dozen Senator*who have declared that they would heguided by his attitude will oppose anymove to override a v«*to.This Is the situation that confronts
Mr. Fordney and his Republican asso¬ciates on the Ways and Means Commit¬tee who were compelled to-night, to con¬fess their Inability to propose an ao.ceptabln plan for financing the raid.They will go at It again to-morrowmorning with rather less spirit and con¬fidence that they have displayed up tidate despite Mr. Fordney's vague butconfident prediction that a financialmethod would be devised and a bill putthrough the lower house.Tho growth of sentiment In favor of
postponement was also noted to-day

among members who have been depend¬ing on Mr. Fordney to make good hisfrequent promises. His failure to do sohas undoubtedly cost him a lot of pres¬tige. As one after another of the projectslie proposed has been rejected the bonusadvocates have come to question hispolitical wisdom and business prescience.
During the last three or four dayssome of Mr. Fordney's Republican asso¬ciates on the Ways and Means Commit¬tee have taken exception to his viewsand two or three distinct groups havegrown up among the Republican membersof the committee. The most importantof these, numerically, is that which con¬tinues to stand with Mr. Fordney infavor of recommending a bonus billwithout providing the machinery forraising the money.
Group (or Sale* Tax.A second group continues to assert that
the only acceptable method for doing sowould be to adopt the suggestion of thePresident that a sales tax feature beIncluded in it. Up to this afternoon thealternative proposed by the President inthe shape of postponement had only oneor two supporters. '
It developed at the sessions of theRepublican members of the committeethis afternoon that four of the memberscame out in open advocacy of a planthat one of them described as being"honest and free from bunk." This wasto have the Republican members of thecommittee recommend postponement ofbonus legislation as suggested by thePresident with the statement that oppo¬sition to the sales t«x scheme was toopronounced to overcome,Mr. Fordney and other ardent sup¬
porters of the bonus who fear the con¬sequences of such a procedure vigor¬ously opposed this plan.
