QUORUM TAKES Up
WAR PERIOD BILLS
Revenue Measure and Far East
Situation Will Be Reviewed
by Congress.
BY the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S1.-Con-
gress today presented a substantial
quorum to dispose of additional war
emergency legislation. A definite
program will be determined upon at
Democratic conference. The scope
of the war revenue measure to offset
the decrease in customs receipts will
be decided, and some phases OF the
situation In the Far East, growing
out of hostilities between Japan and
Germany, also may be considered.
President Wilson, upon his return
from Cornish, probably will address
Congress upon the proposal for the
special internal revenue tax Indi-
tic wines and patent medicines
would be subjected TO increased tax
alton. A committee at work upon
the revenue bill today was COM
pleting an outline for submission to
the Senate conference.
Phases of the situation in the Far
East that probably will be discussed
by the conference include a plan to
halt exports from the Philippines to

barrassing situation might arise II
island shipments consigned to Japan
or Germany should be seized by
warehips of one of the belligerents,
The Senate war risk insurance bill,
passed by the House with amend
ments, went to conference today. 1t
was believed there would be an early
agreement on the measure, and that
it would be in force before the end
of the week. The measure would es-
tablish a government marine insur-
ance restricted to risks of war, and
particularly applicable to the Euro
pean emergency.
Legislation to establish a fleet of
government merchant ships was to be
presented this week. House naval
affairs committeeman will confer with
the President over a plan to abandon

Twelfth List Is Made Public

Berlin.

BERLIN, via Copenhagen and Lon
don, Aug. 31.-The twelfth list of the
German losses was made public to-
day. 1t contained 1,O06 German
names. The total of German casual
ties made public up to the present
time is as follows: 1,143 dead, 1926
wounded and 1,761 missing
No news from either of the German
fronts had been given out up to mid
night tonight.
AS an evidence of the enthusiasm
of German people in the war IL Is
announced here that 100000 volun-
teers have presented themselves for
service.
AS the result of the patriotism
shown by the Socialists of Germany
the anti-Socialist Association has
ceased it's activities. at the same time
expressing hope that 1t will not have
to resume after the war Is over.
Baron Kurt Won Lerner, second
secretary of the German embassy at
Washington, has reached Berlin by
way of Gibraltar. He ran great dan
ger at Gibraltar of being arrested by
the British and detained during the
war. Nothing has been heard here
of Lieutenant Baron Horst Won Ler-
ner, brother of Baron Kurt, and also
attached to the German embassy at
the American capital.
Mails from the United States which
during the first days of the war ac-
cumulated on the frontiers. are now
beginning to be distributed. Dis
patches from London and Paris,
which at the commencement of the
war predicted the rapid disintergra-
ton of the military power of Ger

RUSSIA ALLOWS
MANY RESERWSTS
TO RETURN HOME
Germany Calls on Schoolboys
to Come to Aid of the
CoIors.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 31.--The st. Peters,
burg correspondent of the Post, dis
cussing the military situation in Rus
STA, says:
THE relative situations of Ger
many and Russia, after a month of
war. are shown admirably in con-
trast by the German action in sum-
moning the schoolboys to the colors
and Russias decision today to grant
six weeks leave of absence to the
reservists of the 1907 term of SER
vice.
These reservists have recently been
with the colors at different depots
brushing up their military knowledge
preparatory to a call to the front.
Today 1t was found possible to allow
then to return home. for a nominal
term of six weeks. They are to hold
themselves in readiness to respond TO
the next call.
1T is reported that some of the
men took the permission to return
home most grudgingly, as they had
counted on a quick advance to the
front
Russia can thus, in the heat Of
hard fought war, afford TO let some-
thing like half a million mobilized
reservists go home again.
ut is significant In the recent fight
ing not only the German field forces.
but the fortress garrisons from Thorn
and Graudena Gin East Prussia, east
of the Vistula), took part with q
strong force of heavy artillery. This
proves that the, Germans are finding
a serious shortage as regards men
with whom to oppose the invaders.
1.-THE Russian forces are still ad-
vancing, and for the past three days
there has been fierce fighting around
Konigsberg. The Russian pursuit was
pressed so holly that some of its cav
airy actually entered along with fu-
gitives into the outlying defenses of
Konigsberg, which they secured. This,
of course, is very far removed from
the capture of the fortress.
ION the Austrian front obstinate
fighting continues. The Russians
have taken 5000 prisoners east of
Lemberg and 1000 near Tomacheff,
while east Of that centre the Fifteenth
Hungarian division was surrounded
and whole regiments are surrender
ing.
1.-The main objective of the Austri-
ans appears to be Lublin, where des-
perate fighting Is in progress"

King Of Roumania, III,
May Abdicate, Putting
Hohenzollern on Throne

PARIS. Aug. 31.-Advices from
Bucharest that the king of Roumania
is seriously i'll and may abdicate have
directed attention to succession. His
heir is his nephew, Prince Frederick
of HohenzolIern, whose sympathies
are entirely German. Should he sue
coed to the throne during the present
crisis, it might change Roumania's
attitude in the present war.
1t is stated, however, that the gem
eral feeling throughout Roumania is
anti-G German and the attempt to align
Roumania on the side OF the Germans
might result in an internal disturb
ance and p bic revolution.

T. P. O'CONNOR QUOTED
IN FAVOR OF ENGLAND

LONDON. Aug. s1.-Regarding
the war, T. p. O'Connor, the
noted Irish journalist and menu
Der Of Parliament, is quoted here
as saying:
There is one fundamental fact
which lies at the root of this
titanic struggle. The nation Is
one. There is no division of party
or of class or of opinion. We be-
Iieve we are fighting for the
greatest of all human rights, for
nationality, for liberty, and against
a military dictatorship in Europe.
We fought that issue before,
when a greater man than EN-
peror William had Europe under
his soldiers heel. AS we beat
Napoleon, so we shall beat Will
lam.
