WAsHISaToS, Feb IA critical stage
OF the financial discussion was unexpect-
ely precipitated in the senate just before
the senators were preparing tn go home.
Intermittent reference had been made to
the subject throughout the day, but it
was without definite form or purpose,
and the senate finally lapsed into dis
cussion of the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill. But the financial ques-
ton arose incidentally. and finally at D
O'Clock German launched u speech which
proved to be one Of the most effective he
has delivered at the present session OF
congress. He pointed out the gravity OF
the treasury situation,- intimating that
the facts were being held back, and that
an Investigation would show startling de-
ficiencies. He defended the senate against
charges of iinpotency and declared that he
had perfect faith that this great bo y
would do its full duty before Gang rc:s adj
journed.

German said III the senate: 1t VIII meet
this great emergency. If in no other way,

might be-what Kind OF money was to he
provided. But he appealed to Republican
senators to join in meeting the issue. 1t
was their duty rs well as that of the Dem.
ocratic senators. Hill was at once on his
feet asking why the senator from Mary
land had not allowed the financial rcsolu-

| said he wanted them to pass. and would
move to lay aside the District of Columbia

res; buttons on their Immediate passage.
