Washington Officials Fear At
tack on Mexico City.
REBELS MOVING SOUTHWARK
General Carranza Is Hurrying Troops
Toward the National Capital to As
sist in Maintaining Order-Former
President Huerta May Sail From
Puerto Mexico Tuesday.

Washington, July 20.-While gov
ernment officials here feel that the
Mexican problem rapidly is shaping
itself for solution and that the Con-
stitutionalists and the Carbajal gov
ernment soon will reach an agree
ment for the establishment of a new
administration much apprehension is
manifest over the possible operations
of the Zapatista forces.
Dispatches from Mexico City and
Vera Cruz which declared that the
followers Of Zapata are dangerously
near the capital are confirmed by ad-
vices to the state department. Otti-
cials here for some time have been
cognizant of the strength of the Zapa-
Ia troops, but the American govern
ment has been able to exert it's in
iiuence with Zapata to prevent an at
tack Oh Mexico City.
Emissaries from General Carranza
are now in communication with Zapa-
ia and it is hoped through these par
leys to bring the military operations
of the revolution under one head.
Constitutionalist forces are being
hurried southwark to help maintain
order at the capital.

LITTLE CHANCE
OF ADJOURNMENT
Session Of Congress May Last
Until Autumn.
DIFFICULT TO GET QUORUM

Leaders In Senate and House Unable
to Keep Enough Lawmakers in
Washington to Insure the Transae.
tion Of Business PromptIy-FederaI
Reserve Board Nominations Take
Up Much Of Senate's Time.
Washington, July 20.-Members OF
congress who are standing valiantly
by the administration in the effort to
complete it's legislative program de-
spite the approaching campaign,
while admitting they are weary OF
legislative delays and anxious to get
home to their districts, have resigned
themselves to the conclusion that
there is little hope for adjournment
before fall. One Democratic senator
asserted that the session will con-
tinue until the next session in Decem-
Der.
Both houses of congress are hav.
ing trouble rallying a quorum for the
transaction of business, but the party
whips are keeping constantly at work
bringing members who have left town
back to Washington and they hope to
expedite what business remains as
rapidly as possible.
Again this week the chief business
of the senate will be to press the
antitrust bills with hope of getting
a real start in the general debate On
the interstate trade commission bill
and to complete the revision of the
Clayton bill and the Rayburn securi-
ties measure in committee so that
they may be submitted to the senate.
One thing that promises to delay
the trust program is the difficulties
which have arisen over the nomina
tions of Thomas d. Jones of Chicago
and Paul NJ Warburg of New York as
members of the federal reserve board.
The senate seems still to be dead
locked over the confirmation of Mr..
JONES' administration champions of
the Chicago man still holding back a
vote in an effort to win over some Of
their colleagues who oppose his con-
firmation.
No vote on the Jones nomination is
expected until late in the week. Its
outcome is doubtful, both sides to the
controversy claiming to have a small
majority.
What may develop with regard to
Mr. Warblrgs nomination remains in
| doubt, members of the banking COM
, mittee having ceased to concider the
matter in view of Mr. Warburg's re-
| fusal to appear before them.
President Wilson's desire to have
! the new Bryan investigating peace
treaties ratified before adjournment is
another matter that may prolong the
| session

Rev. George Butler Points to Fight

Church Has Failed.

'Churchianity" and not Christianity
has failed in the present war, Rev.
George Butler declared yesterday in a

Rev. Mr.. Butler pointed out the MEM

Of the church has failed in the crisis.
Christianity, he saids has not been af-
fected.
Rev. Mr. Butler declared for a world
brotherhood regardless Of race or re-
ligion.
Even while these lines ae penned,"
he said. I'VE have the spectacle in Eu-
rope OF good Protestants OF Germany
and Austria arrayed against their brother
Protestants from Belgium, France, Rus
sia and Servia. and the press dispatches
tell of the extreme melancholy and death
of the Holy Father at Rome because he
saw his children, as he called them,
among the Germans and the Austrians,
on the one side, and Belgians, English,
French and Russians on the other side,
butchering each other by the thousands,
all good Protestants and good aCtholics,
doubtless, but very. very bad Chritians;
in fact, not Christians at all"
