WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-There is more OF

beginning of the holiday recess, and this is
especially apparent among those members
who live so far away from the capital as
to make 1t difficult to reach their homes
between Saturday and Christmas eve.
Naturally. members who are thus located
far away from the government head
quarters have decided that Congress can
get along without their services for "A few
days. and these gentlemen nave already
started for home. There are, perhaps,
thirty or forty in all who have gone and
more will leave tomorrow. 1t seems to be
the general impression that there will be
