keeps q quorum here is the recent
action canceliing leaves OF absence and
docking those who are absent withou,
leave. The loss OF 320.5A a day in pay
is a sufficient motive to majority o'
the house membe to keep the great
body of them in Washington. A small
number OF the house membership are
ignoring the monetary side OF the sit
uation and conducting campaigns as
usual.
In the senate, there is no system OF
docking senators for being absent
Senators are not embarrassed as the
house members are. But with iegis-
lative business pressing. senators who
have campaigns on their hands are
troubled. Most Of them dislike tt
leave the capital for a long period
While the session lasts.
This does not apply to all senator's
of course. Senator Penrose has beer
away from Washington nearly the en-
tire session He is making the fight
OF his life for re- election in Pennsyl-
vania. If he is reelected for another
six-year period it will be triumph
mean his enforced retirement from pol
itics, Under the circumstances +. he
sticks close to Pennsylvania
on the other hand. Senator Bristow
of Kansas, when he had hard pri-
mary fight on his hands recently.
would not leave Washington to cam
paign. He worked away in the senate
defeated for denomination by slight
margin. Had he gone out to Kansas
and organized and stumped, he would
have won.
Senator Cummins. of Iowa. has beer
In Washington with little interruption
thru the summer He will campaign ir
his state to some extent this month
but if the session continues he will be
here much Of the time.
Democrats as we'll as republicans arc
embarrassed in their campaigns by re-
naming here. This does not apply tc
the southern democrats. who have fin
ished their primary campaigns. But i,
does apply to northern democrats. For
instance, Senator Shively OF Indiana
has a sharp contest on and would he
better satisfied II free to so to his state
and conduct his campaign.
Things are shaping up for adjourn
ment about Oct. I. Most of the leaders
talk that way now. But there are diff
ficulties in the way. One Is the war
tax bill. Another is the government
ship purchase bill Meantime. it is get
ting more and more difficult to keer
a quorum OF senator's here.

Almost impossible to Awaken Sleeping
Soldiers Captured BY French.
Paris. Sept. 11-During the third
days fighting IN the battle on Marble a
detachment OF French which had driv-
en- the enemy out Of village, were
hailed by an old woman, who led them
to barn where thirty Germans were
hidden and asleep. A man crept noise
lessly into the barn and found the Ger
mans sleeping so soundly that 1t took
half an hour and q tremendous shaking
to awaken them. They had been har-
rassed by the French and English ard
the evening before they had entered
the barn where they all fell asleep from
Sheer exhaustion.
The residents Of small locality in
the department OF the Oise informed
the military authorities Of the strange
doings IN . house In that vicinity and
nat they expected spies were working
there. A company OF Zonaves were
sent to the place and during their In
quiry they were hred on from the place.

was found, received reports Of spies
regarding the number and movement

NEAR PARIS AS YET UNDECISlVE
German Lines unbroken.

Laconic official announcement de-
clares the Germans have been driven
back thirty-six to forty-seven miles
from the line they reached to the east of
Paris. but no indication is given of
the breaking Of the powerful battle ar
ray which swept thru Belgium and
northern France.
Berlin admits retirement. but the
invaders have been strengthened by
fresh troops from Belgium. The al
lies also are said to be preparing for
German reinforcements by bringing up
reserves.
A French offensive is not unexpected
by military experts, as the French lines
occupy ground that has been used for
many years for maneuvers, every inch
of 1t being known to the French Off
GERS.
Check For Russians.
These are indications here that the
reported extremity of the Austrians in
Galicia is exaggerated. The Russians
have halted their attack because of
exhaustion or because the opposition
was found to be unexpectedly strong.
On the East Prussian front neither
side seems to have been able to hold
its position. There is a possibility.
however, that Russia Is waiting the
advent of winter to freeze the marshes.
Germany has about 100000 men along
the East Prussian border and will
doubtless make a stubborn stand.
Belgrade Relieved.
Nish reports the capture OF the Aus
trian stronghold of Semlin. If this is
confirmed 1t means that Belgrade is
relieved from investment after stub
bornly resisting an Austrian lombard
ment since the beginning of the war
The supposed retirement of the Bel
gians has apparently led to tentative
effect on the part Of Belgian troops to
assume an offensive movement from
their strong base at Antwerp.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE hero of Belgium
today is the boy scout Leysen. who has
been decorated by King Albert for his
valor and devotion 70 his country. This
young man was born at Liege. Is de-

discovered and denounced eleven Ger
