NO SPECIAL SESSION.
After Congress Adjourns This Month,
Says President.

Washington. Oct. 5.-Outlining the
legislative program for the remainder
of the session Of congress-, President
Wilson told callers today that no extra
session in November was contemplated.
He added that only some extraordinary
emergency would necessitate an extra
session following adjournment of the
short session in March. The president
said the war tax bill. the Clayton anti
trust bill and the Alaska coal leasing
bill would complete the important
work Of the present session and that
when these bills were disposed Of he
saw no reason why an adjournment
should not be taken. October Is is the
date tentatively agreed aupon.
Asked about threats by Representa-
tive Henry of Texas, to fight against
an adjournment until cotton relief
measures were passed. the president
said the membership of the house,
rather than Mr.. Henry, would decide
when to adjourn For the next ses-
sion the program as outlined by the
president will include the Alexander
ship purchase bill, the Philippine bill.
the general leasing bill, the general
land bill, the general dam. bill and the
usual appropriation bill.

DEAD, S00,000? :?
This Is Latest Estimate Among
French and Germans.
This Is Based on Figures Only
Up to Battle of Marne.

Paris, Oct 5.-The French losses
(killed. wounded and prisoners) for
the six weeks fighting up to and in
cluding the battle of the Marne, were
slightly more than 100000. perhaps
$4,000, excluding the British losses,
which have been fairly large in COM
parison to the small number of their
engaged army.
II credence may be placed in the
French statements that in most cases
the German losses were larger than
those sustained by the French-and
the German army was on the offensive
in all the fighting up to the time for
which the figures are given-it would
seem to be fair estimate that the
German losses in killed, wounded and
prisoners for the same six weeks were
close to 100000 men in the western
theater of war alone, not taking into
account their losses in the fighting
against the Russians.

hope on the part of the French, al

Despite the hope Of the French the
military critic, Lieutenant Col. Rousget,

encounters last now as long as certain
campaigns formerly did.
In 1859 the situation was settled in
two months, while in 1870 1t took thir-
