President Wilson told callers last

would not insist upon consideration Of
the Philippine bill in the senate at this
session nor upon the passage Of the
ship purchase bill until next winter.
He will not oppose the conference re-
port on the Clayton bill, and the
measure now seems likely to be ap-
proved as reported despite efforts Of

Washington, Oct. 6.--Members of
congress are preparing for dash to
the political firing lines. Senators and
representatives alike are straining at
the leash that has held them here
continuously for eighteen months and
with the prospect Of release growing
brighter each day, the talk Of adjourn
ment exceeds discussion Of the trailing
threads Of legislation.
Senator Kern and Representative
Underwood, the majority leaders in
congress, are besieged every few min
utes in the day by their colleagues
with inquiries about the plans for ad-
journment. Senator Kern invariably
replies that the session can be ad-
journed If the members will stay at
their posts and aid in expediting the
finishing touches to the clayton bill
and the passage of the war revenue
measures. Mr.. Underwood replies that
the house will complete It's work as
soon as it disposes Of the Clayton bill
conference report, the Philippine bill
and the senate revision of the war tax.
The Philippine bill win be passed
within a day or two and will not be
taken up in the senate. The senate
probably will dispose Of the Clayton
bill conference report today or Tues
day. The finance committee will be
ready with the war revenue bill by
Tuesday and some senators have been
so optimistic as to predict the congress
could be ready to adjourn next Satur-
day night.

discussion into the debate on the war

Miss Kenney Gave
an Interesting Talk
Before Large Audience

Kenney as one who had not only
worked for 1t for years, but as one
who had suffered for it, and suffered
terribly, and compared her position
with that of Wendell Phillips and
Lovejoy and the slavery question. He
pointed out that the work of the won-
en- who are seeking the right to the
ballot in England is cruelty misrepre-
sented, and that the attempt to judge
them by American standards and con-
iitions is unjust. as most critics know
practically Of the real conditions
there. He also made an historical
reference to the French revolution,
and to the different way in which we
view it now.
Mas Kenney Convincing Speaker.
In her main address, Miss Kenney
did not go into the militancy side OF
the qnestion, responding later to a.
special request to give something of
that side. She made a strong appeal
to the well known -mindedness OF
the average American man, refuting
the argument that suffrage has not
been tested, and appealing to them to
answer fairly whether suffrage in
Norway and elsewhere had unsexed in
any way the woman enjoying that
privilege. She pointed out that the
world has had anti-reform people
all down the ages. in every country,
and said that her own conversion to
the cause was erected when she was
still q factory worker, for she person
ally knows OF most of the conditions
whereof she speaks She refuted sew
eral of the time-worn arguments. az

London, 9:25 p. M, Oct. 4.--Having
repulsed the German attacks, presum-
ably in the vicinity of Roye, the
French, according to the official COM
munication issued Sunday afternoon at
Paris have resumed offensive at several
points, while other positions on their
left have been appreciably maintained.
The great effort of the allies to en-
velope the German right, may there
fore be said to be again In operation,

DENS. TO
CAUCUS

Washington. Oct. 5.-Caucus action
to expediate the passage of the war
revenue bill through the senate was

cratic leaders after the democrats OF

Russian Attempt to
Invade Hungary Fails

Venice, via Paris, Oct. 5.--Austrian
military experts say the Russian at
.tempts to invade Hungary through the
Carpathian mountains are not likely to
meet with much success.
There are only four or five noun
tain passes which would admit Of the
passage OF the troops, it is said, and
only small number of the men could
proceed through them at one time. AS
the march would require at least s6
days, the question of food supply
would be serious. Possibly later small
detachments of Russians may at
tempt to cross the mountains, the ex-

perts say, but the Austrian troops
ought to be able to repulse them
easily.
1t is assumed that Russia desires
to invade Hungary, first, in order to
secure the left wing Of her army
which is proceeding towards the River
San and Przemysl; second, to find a
new field of action for her superior
force of cavalry in the plains of Hun
gary where that body could interfere
with the training of recruits which is
proceeding there and hamper railway
transportation of these troops, besides
obtaining large supplies Of provisions.
