CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN
BY END Of THIS WEEK
House to Brush Aside Everything for
Consideration of War Tax Bill.
Brewers Enter Protest.

Congress today enters upon what
may be the last week of the session, as
there is an evident intention upon the
part of all leaders to make every short
cut to adjournment. The one big meas
ure before Congress is the war tax bill
and as soon as the Senate passes it the
House has promised to brush every
thing aside for consideration of this
measure. N
There is considerable speculation as
to how the House will receive the Sen.
ate brand of war tax. There is nc
doubt that Representative Oscar I'm
derwood, chairman of the House ways
and means committee, thinks the bill
as framed by his committee and passed
by the House is a better bill. The
House has been filed with protests
against the tax on beer the way the
Senate framed it. No protests Of any
comparative importance were heard
by the House on its proposal to tax
beer an extra half dollar, but since the
Senate has raised this to an extra "a
cents, making the regular war tax add
up to $1.75 barrel, manufacturers OF
beer the country oyer have begun te
flood the Capitol with kilograms, let
ters and petitions.
However, If the war tax bill has to
remain long in conference it Is safe to
say many members of Congress Will
take it on themselves to leave WASH
ington anyhow. Adjournment, there
fore. may not occur by this Saturday
but may actually take place early next
week, Congress will have been in ses-
sion, Saturday. $50 days. a record for
the legislative branch of the govern
ment.

RESIGNATION
FROM ITALIAN CABINET
Gen. Grand, Minister of War, Re-
tires Because of Discord, Dis
patch States.

! CHIASSO, Switzerland, October II. via
Paris, October 12.-In connection with the
recent resignation OF Gen. Grandi. Italian
minister Of war. and Lieut. Gen. Cassoni,
under secretary of war. the following
| facts have been ascertained:
when at the beginning of the year
Signor Salandra formed his cabinet. Gen.
Porro. commander of the military division
at Milan, was offered the portfolio of
minister of war; The premier backed
up by the finance minister and other
members of the government, declined to
make available the sum of $13O. 900. 900
which Gen. Porro desired in addition to
the ordinary war budget, for use in bring
ing the army up to what he deemed a
state OF efficiency and Gen. Polro de-
clined the appointment.
Gen. Grandi Accepts Post.
Gen. Grandi then was offered and ac-
cepted the vacant post Shortly after
ward Gen. Polio. chief of the Italian
staff, died and was succeeded by Lieut..
Gen. Count Cadorna. who. it is said.
found the military depots empty. work
on a new model depot scarcely begun.
and the forces under arms reduced to a
minimum. 4
Gen. Cadorna. it is alleged, protested
against this state of affairs but was
overruled by Gen. Grandi. who was sup
ported by the cabinet as it was consid-
cred best not to have trouble arise be-
tween the ministry and parliament. When
the European war began Gen. Cadorna
declared that he would not remain chief
of the general staff II all the alleged de-
fects in the army We're not remedied. 1t
IS said that he even appealed to King
Victor Emmanuel.
Differences Increase.
Gen. Grandi. under pressure of events
then made an effort to hastily bring
about the needed reforms, but differences
OF opinion between himself and Gen. Ca
dorna increased. Under Secretary for
War Cassoni, despairing of settlement
of the difficulties, and, it is said angry
that the army should be subordinated to
parliamentary conditions, brought about a
crisis by resigning. Gen. Grandi shortly
afterward followed the under secretary
by giving up his portfolio.
Gen Cadorna is rapidly effecting his
program Of reform. and it Is believed that
Gen. Zupelli, the newly appointed min
lister of war, whose appointment he is
said to have promoted, will work in ac-
cord with him.
