SENATE STANDS FIRM
Vote on Safety-at-Sea Treaty Will
Not Be Reconsidered by
That Body.

The resolution ratifying the Londor
sa ETY. at-sea convention, adopted by the
Senate last week, must stand, accord
ing to ruling in the Senate today, and
all efforts of the administration to have
the vote by which the resolution was
adopted reconsidered are unavailing.
The Senate went into executive ses-
sion today on motion of Senator O'Gor-
man of New York, who offered IL mo-
tion to reconsider the vote by which
the resolution was adopted.
Administration officials had expressed
the opinion that the resolution, which
provides especially that nothing in the
convention shall nullify the La Toilette
seaman's bill, now pending before the
Senate commerce committee, would not
be accepted by other signatory powers.
The supporters of the seaman's bill in
sist, however, that to ratify the con-
vention without such provision would
be to kill the seaman's bill.
Senator OGorman, when moving, in
executive session, called attention to
the fact that the time for ratifying the
convention would expire December 81
and that if anything was to be done
it must be done Immediately.
A point of order was made against
the motion to reconsider on the ground
that it came too late. This was up
held by the chair. Under the rules OF
the Senate such motion must be
made not later than the second execu-
tive session following the vote.

BACK FROM SOUTHERN TRIP.

Penal institutions.

District Commissioner Oliver p. New
man, John Joy Edison, chairman Of the
board of charities, and George S. Will
son, secretary of the board, returned
today from a trip of inspection OF
southern penal institutions on which
they gathered data that will be used
in connection with the preparation OF
plans for the proposed District re-
formatory at Occoquan. Va. The Dis
trict officials visited the penftentiaries
at Atlanta, Ca, and Richmond, Va
They also inspected the road camps
near each institution.
1t is expected that the commission
appointed to draft plans for the local
reformatory. the members Of which are
Commissioner Newman, Mr.. Edison and
Justice W. =. Stafford of the District
Supreme Court, will convene shortly
after Christmas and map out plans for
its work.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

In the opinion of the French
military authorities the Germans
are beginning to lose their grip on
France and Belgium. An official
summary Of the results achieved
by the allies in their offensive
movement recounts progress at
many points, which seems to
have disturbed the enemy 1t is
asserted that the Germans are
now fearful of attacks, and are
everywhere on the defensive.
The latest communications from
Berlin, however, tell of spirited
offensive movements, with result
ing gains, and make it appear
that the German armies are firm
ly holding the conquered ground.
There is a similar conflict of
statements concerning the region
in the east. The Russian war Of
fee challenges recent accounts of
a great German victory in Poland
by denying "malevolent reports"
of the last few days. While it is
admitted at Petrograd that the re-
cent retirement of the Russian
forces to new positions was not
entirely voluntary, the claim is
made that the armies are now in
safer and stronger positions.
David Lloyd George, British
chancellor of the exchequer, is
quoted as saying that before
spring Great Britain will have
100000 more men at the front.
Roumania is to restore to Bull
garia most of the territory taken
from her after the second Balkan
war, according to an official an
nouncement, and in return is to
be free to enter the present Eu-
ropean conflict without fear of at
tack from Bulgaria.

cially since the influx of business to
the Dupont Circle neighborhood. 1t is
said that values there have been ap-
proximately as high as $40 a foot.

PRIESTS ARE INSTRUCTED

ROME. l5aly. December 22-In the
hope OF nlieviating the discomforts of
prisoners Of war and the anxiety of
their relatives ut home, Pope Benedict
has instructed all bishops in dioceses
wherein are military prisoners to ap-
point one or more priests who are ac-
quainted with the languages spoken by
the imprisoned soldiers. These priests

spiritual counsel but so far as possible
to look after the material welfare Of
the prisoners.
Particular efforts will be made to dis
