CONGRESS SITTING
WITHOUT QUORUM
Filibuster by Southern Senator'S
Blocks Plan to End Session
Thursday.
WILSON MAY HAVE TO ACT
indications President May Have TO
Exercise His ConstitutiOnaI Pre-
rosative and Declare Con-
gross Adlourned.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-Probabilities
that President Wilson would exercise his
constitutional power and adjourn con-
gress, inasmuch as congress itself Is un-
able TO agree on ending the session. were
considered today by administration lead
ers after the president had conferred
with Speaker Clark and Senators Kern
and overman.
Speaker Clark said he was sure both
houses now sitting without a quorum.
would be unable to agree on adjourn
ment, and he believed the country would
endorse such action by the president.
In the senate there was possibility
that the fiIibuster OF senators from the
cotton states might be abandoned. but in
the house the champions OF cotton relief
we're reported ready to block adjourn
ment resolutions on a point OF no
quorum.
The plan TO adjourn at o'clock last
night. Immediately following) the adoption
OF the conference report on the war reve-
nue. bill, was frustrated by the filibuster,
which prevented action In the senate on
Joint resolution calling for adjourn
lnent at that time and to which the
house had agreed,
AZ the leaders had no desiDite plans
the date on which the session would
come TO an end was still problematic
early. today. Despite the Fact that they
had hoped that the final disposition Of
the war tax measure would be the con-
cluding act OF the session, It appeared
that the work OF the congress was un-
completed. as cotton state members had
served notice that they would continue
their fight for legislative aid for cotton
growers.
Meantime, the war tax bill. estimated
to bring In 100000 OF revenue. was the
law OF the land today. having received
the signature OF President Wilson. The
taxes on beers and wine were In effect
today. but the levy on tobacco will not
go into effect until November l. The
stamp taxes viii date from December l.
The senate adjourned TO noon tomor-
row. and hopes OF an end TO this con-
SressiOnal session TODAY went giim-

even emergency provisions in England
and the receipt OF such supplies from

These difficulties have become even

War Summary

The Germans and the allies
continue their desperate game OF
give and take in West Flanders
and northeastern France yester-
day, neither side claiming a de-
cisive advantage.
French warships are said to
have Joined the British naval
forces forming the extreme left OF
the allies. and fresh German re-
Inducements are reported con-
stantly coming up. Not since the
opening OF hostilities have the
warning forces appeared to have
been so evenly matched.
The allied war craft in the
Straits of Dover are shelling the
German right without stopping
the onslaughts Of the German land
forces. The allied armies have
gained ground at several points
and have been forced to fall back
at others.
Yesterdays French official
statement says that violent attacks
are being made by the Germans
all along the line from the sea TO
Canal Labassee. They also have
delivered heavy blows In the re-
gion OF the Arras~and on the River
Somme. Generally the allies have
held their own, though pushed
back from some positions. They
have progressed to the north and
south OF the River Somme and in
the regions OF Verdun and Pont
A Mousson. Z.
The Germans appear to be max
ing a new effort with new organ
izations between the North Sea
and the olse.
Paris learns unofficially that
fresh troops have given a new i'm
petus to the German attack on the
French right wing.
Russian Advices continue to in
sist that the German advance on
Warsaw has been turned into a re-
treat. 1t is admitted. however, that
Germans and Austrians still hold
the vistula. south Of the Pjljca
river. Berlin and Vienna report
Austrian successes south Of
Przemysl
The fast German cruiser Karls-
ruhe has become a rival of the
German cruiser END IN as de-
stroyer Of the 'enemy's merchant
vessels. Word comes from the
Canary island that the Karlsruhe
has sunk thirteen British mer-
chantmen in the Atlantic.

stroyer, which escaped from
