Wheat prices we're at the mercy OF the

caught numerous export bids. Brokers state
that the trade Is confronted by a situa-

Even when the presiding ot- cers announce that quorum Is pres ent, as disclosed by the roll call, 1t IS not a real fact, as many men who an swered to their names have gone away, simply content that they have been recorded as present The only suggestion that 1 can think of to rene dy this evil Is to make the proceedings in the senate and house more interest ing.

 One day during the many thunder showers that have occurred in the vi- cinity of Washington a big chestnut tree on the golG links near Washington where the president usually enjoys hts afternoon game was struck by light pIng. The president was not on the course at that time. However the az ricultural department considered the result of the lightning so peculiar that It decided to photograph the tree and make a study of It. It was one of the very largest of chestnut trees, yet the lightning stroke killed 1t completely. The experts in the department say that the situation Is very peculiar, for lt Is seldom that a tree of any such size Is ever killed by a lightning stroke. It seems that the very vitals of the tree. even down to the roots. were penetrated.

GERMANYs HUGE TASK

At the beginning of the war, says the Cleveland Leader, the German military authorities decid- ed to leave Austria-HungGry, aided by the garrisOns of tho German frontier forts and towns and by two or three army corps of the regular line, the task os holding Russia in cheek or beating Gthe armies of the Car in their own territory. The German field army, to the extent of probably S5 per eeRt ot It's strength was tbrown into France and Bel gium.
 The French forces, with the as Bistanes of the BelgiaDs and the British, could not step this tre- meRdOus host. It gradually pound cd its way almost to the fortifica- tIons which guard Paris. The weight of It's attack, especially its right wing, seemed to be resistless.
 But on the Eastern border of Germany things went badly for the two powers opposed by Russia, serYia and Montenegro. Austria Hungary drew away from SerVia go large a part of the troops op- erating there that the Serbs were able to gain a bloody and import ant victory. The German garrisons and the small German field army in East Prussia were not sufficient to prevent the Russians from over running & large part of that prov iRee. The Cars great armies in Galicia and Russian Poland proved too strong to be withstood by the Austro-Hungarian forces.
 These conditions led the German government to move many troops to the Eastern field Of operations. They smashed back the Russian army in East Prussia and they stiifened the Austro-Hungarian re sIstanee to the MuscoYite hosts, but the latter coniRued to menace the Austro-Hungarian army with destruction. Then more drafts were made upon the German forces in France and Belgium.
 They have quickly beaten back the Russians In East Prussia and they have evidently rescued the Austro-Hlngarian army in Russian Poland and GRhcia from imminent peril of complete disaster. The entire aspect of the war on the Russian border is changed. But what has been the result in France? The German government admits a severe reverse, east oi Paris, and 1t ascribes the advance Of the French and British to their superior numbers. The German army in France is being hurTiedly reinforced but the allies are also gaining in that manner. The Ger mans hope to regain their lost ground but the Franco-British army Is Btgn forcing its way for ward in territory which had been occupied by the invaders e week ago,
 The result of the war turns upon the ability of Germany to accom- plish the enormous task of doing the work undertaken upon both frontiers at the same time. Can the allies be beaten ia France without leaving Russia supreme In the East? Or Is it possible to crush Russia without giving France and Great Britain a domi- naut and decisive superiority in the West?

WON'T ADJOURN
 UNTIL OCTOBER

Washington, Sept. 21-(SpeciaD "I have made up my mind that we will be here until October, and so l have determined to make the best of It." The remark was made by Oscar ". Underwood, the floor leader of the house of representatives. Mir. Under wood also expressed the opinion that after the appropriation bills were out of the way and other pressing matters of legislation were concluded, such as the reclamation bill and the conserva- ton measure, 1t will probably be the policy of the house to take vacation similar to that of last summer. I've will keep enough men here to have more votes than the Republicans" said MT. Underwood, "and will adjourn the house every day. I understand that Mir Mann will not consent to an au- tomatlc arrangement for adjourning three days at a time and so we will adopt the same methods used last year and allow members to go home"
 Uncertainty In tho Senate.
 This statement by Mir. Underwood Is a reflex of the uncertainty that eI- ists in the senate. Unfortunately for the program the president has outlined the senators seem unable to agree. Even his party associates cannot agree among themselves as to the kind of legislation which should be enacted. The senate is composed mostly of law yers and the questions under discus sion are largely of a legal nature. The consequence of such a condition is that there are now rambling debates upon the legal questions involved, and the lawyers, like the doctors, are uuablestO agree. The senate took the tarifr bill Tery much as 1t was handed to 1t by the administration, but that body grew more independent in making the currency bill and Is still more inde pendent in making trust bills. Unlike the house of representatives, the Sens- tors do not take what is given them and say nothing.
 How to Fix lt.
 A suggestion, growing out of the long dispute over mileage for senators and representatives, which ought to settle the controversy if 1t is put into effect is that the house adopt a rate of 5 cents a mile for its own mileage and let the senate fix It's mileage at 20 cents. Those who made this proposi- ton believe that public opinion in time will force the senate to reduce its rate of mileage. The trouble with this sug gestion is that there Is quite a large majority of members of the house who want the mileage on the present basis of 20 cents a mile, but dare not vote for 1t on a record vote. These mem bers are perfectly satisfied to have the senate hold out and finally force" the house to accept the 20 cent rate.
 The Quorum. Question.
 Both the senate and house have got to take some sort of drastic action in order to maintain a quorum. There are freuuent roll calls to secure g
