ESSIONAt.

Under suspension of the rules, the
house of representatives Monday
passed the bill providing for the
restoration of the motto In God We
Trust on gold and silver coins of
the United States.
The Notifications bill, carrying a
total appropriation of $S,210,611, in
stead of the $3S,443, 945 asked for by
the war department, was reported to
the house committee on appropria-
items by Chairman Smith of the sub
committee on Notifications. The sub
committee felt, aside from other con-
Biderations, that to recommend an ap-
preparation of $3S,OOO 600 for fortifica-
tions at this time was an action which
might be reasonably construed by
Japan as an official declaration that
the United States was preparing
against war with that nation.
The bill to increase the efficiency
