CONGRESS ENDS
LONGEST SESSION EVER HELD
TERMINATED AFTER HOUSE

COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO IN
vEsTIeArE AND REPORT ON
COTTON CONDITIONS.


Western Newspaper Union News sFervice.
Washington.-After nearly nineteen
months of continuous session. the long
est ever held, the Sixty. third Congress
adjourned its second session Saturday
after the collapse Of prolonged efforts
to procure cotton growers relief legis-
lation.
Leaders Of this movement agreed to
adjourn, however. only on the condl-
tion that pending cotton relief meas
ures would have the right OF way
wnen Congress reconyenes. Dec. Z.
Not more than fifty members OF the
House and less than a quorum OF the
Senate were In attendance when the
gavels fell on adjournment. The end
was accomplished through concur
rent resolution ending the session at
4 o'clock in the afternoon. but clocks
were turned ahead. actual adjourn
ment occurring at 1922 and the Senate
at 1927.
As the altered hands OF the House
clock drew near 4, while the Senate
was winding up executive business,
Speaker Clark arose at his desk and,
facing the scattered attendance on the
floor. said:
"This is the longest and most labor
ious session that Congress ever has
known. Congratulate you most heart
lily on being able to adjourn at last.
/ wish to thank every member OF the
House, Democrat, Republican, Progress
sive and Independent for uniform
courtesy shown to the speaker. Now,
in the language Of Tiny Tim God
bless us everyone"
The Senate adjournment was prob
ably the most undemonstrative In It's
history. Democratic leaders and q few
Republicans were sitting behind closed
doors confirming nominations when
word came that the House had carried
out the adjournment resolution. Sena-
tor Kern, the majority leader, at once
moved to open the doors. When this
was ordered the doorkeeper hurriedly
set the clock ahead and Senator Swan
son of Virginia, presiding in the abb
sence Of the vice president and Presi-
dent Pro Tempore Clark. announced
that the Senate was adjourned.
In announcing the abandonment OF
their filibuster for cotton legislation,
following conference held early in
the day, Senator Hoke Smith OF
Georgia and Representative Henry Of
Texas told the Senate and the House
It was apparent that no quorum could
be procured for consideration OF cot
ton legislation at this time and that
further filibustering might injure the
chances of ultimate success.
One of the last acts of the House
was the adoption Of resolution au.
thorizing the appointment Of com,
mittee to investigate cotton conditions
in the South and to report possible
measures for federal aid by Dec. Is.

Tor, according to a German report
issued, the Allies are retiring from
several important positions. This
statement of the Germans is con-
tradicted, however, by the French
communication issued in Paris
which says the Allies have not
been moved, despite violent at
tacks of the invaders.
All along the front, from the
North sea to the Swiss border, in
fact, each side claims to have re-
pulsed the attacks Of the other or
to have made slight progress at
various points. The contending
armies seemingly are so nearly
equal in strength that neither can
force the other back, pierce the
front or get around the wings.
Germans A. Disadvantage.
The Germans. however, are believed
to be fighting under disadvantage

Torrential rains have been falling

their attempt to cross the San river.
In the great eight-day conflict be-
tween Sambor and Przemysl the can
nonading has been continuous, for
eight days. Here the Austrians began
the attack, and, after being hurled
back, concentrated in an advance
against Lemberg. in an effort to cut
the Russian line. 1t is declared they
were defeated with q loss of 5000
prisoners.
The German-Austrian forces are
also said to have taken Jaroslau, but
to have been ousted later. The Off
cial report from Vienna claims that
the Russians. after being allowed to
cross the river San. were pressed
back, and that the Austrians defeated
two Russian divisions at Ivangorod.
The Russians apparently are en-
gagged in offensive operations on the
East Prussian frontier, as the Ger
man official report refers to Rus

says, was repulsed.

entirely due to the frequency of the loop holes that he

that he stands the spokesman for the bar association

Had Peggy been able to match her
blue wolfe at Elders her return home
would not have been delayed. Had she
returned home earlier in the afternoon
she would not have been caught in the
rain. And it was all the rains fault
that she stepped into the entrance Of
the Williams building for shelter and
there ran plumb into--but we antici-
pate.
She wasn't able to find what she
wanted at Elders, SO she must needs
dash breathessly from store to store
to find the proper shade Every pos
sible tone of blue was to be had save
the right one, and then at about four
a brisk and steady rain surprised
Peggy without an umbrella
All of which, you may be sure, did
not in any way mellow the fretful
mood in which Peggy had started her
afternoons shopping. The whole
seemed an ingenious plot to arouse in
her as many shades of peevishness
and petulance as she had seen that aft
ernoon of blue voile She was. as they
say at the sewing circle, utterly dis
traught.
And then upon skipping hastily into
shelter she CHANGED upon Tom with
