WILSON WOULD
ABANDON River
AND HARB0R BILL
Favors Substitute Measure In In
terests of Economy

Washington. Sept. 19.-The day and
night fight on the river and harbor
bill in the Senate showed signs of a
break today with victory for the iili-
clustering Republicans, when it became
known that the president favored
abandoning the bill and substituting a
new resolution To appropriate twelve
to fifteen million to continue only
those projects under way.
The original bill proposed fifty three
millions.
The president believed the bill
should be abandoned in its present
form because the governments reve-
nues are already falling as the result
of the war and must be supplemented
by a war tax. Economy will extend all
along the line.

BY strange freak Of nature the
