Secretary Redfield told the house
appropriations committee that the
commercial expansion of the United
States was evidenced by the fact that

Washington.-Ch Frank p.
Woods of the national republican con-

Minority Leader James R. Mann, has
compiled for public information, in
brief form, the complete status of
pending legislation before congress
when it reconvenes on Monday, De-

month and which involve an almost
interminable correspondence.

This is the first time that such in
formation has ever been made avail
able to the public or even put in shape

fore the adjournment of the last SEES

PRESIDENT WILSON WILL OP-

WAR PREPAREDNESS.
DECLARES IT NOW UNTIMELY
Representative Gardner Has Resolu-
ton in Congress to Find Out How
Strong We Stand in Military
Way-To Discuss Matter.

Washington, Dec. 1.-While Presi-
dent Wilson is not expected to seek to
mold the position of congress on the
resolution of Representative Gardner
for an investigation of the military
strength of the United States, officials
close to the White House say he would
oppose the investigation if asked for
an opinion. The president is under
stood to think such an inquiry is un-
timely and would not disclose any in
formation not already in hand.
The presidents position was made
clear Monday night by administration
officials after it became known that
he had written Mr.. Gardner a letter
saying he was ready to discuss the
question with him at any time Mr..
Gardner will be at the White House
tomorrow to make an engagement for

MAY GIVE FUNDS TO HELP
EUROPEAN WAR VICTIMS
BRITISH AND SLAVIC SUBJECTS
PLAN TO ASSIST RED
CROSS WORK.

Realizing the extent of the suffering
that must come in the wake of the war
now being waged in Europe, copper
country subjects of the countries in
volved are laying plans To raise RELIEF
funds here To help along the work OF
the International Raj Cross. Action by
British subjects likely will be TO in
crease the relief fund raised in Britain
in response TO the appeal of the Prince
of Wales. which alreaCy has reached
enormous proportions. No general COM
mittee has been named SO far, but ac-
ton of this kind is likely To be taken
at an early date and a liberal response
is looked for dspite the curtailment of
work in Calumet.
Austrians and Croatians are inter
esting themselves in a similar effort
following the lead taken by others Of
their countrymen in the eastern states
and i'm Minnesota. II funds are raised
locally. they likely will be dispatched
with American contributions TO the
headquarters of the Slavic Red Cross
at Agram, with the restriction that
Of Slavs who are wounded and the
families Of those lost in battle.
So far as is known no action of this
nature is at present contemplated by
subjects Of other nations i'm the copper
country, although the Firms may take
such action as the need of assistance
in Finland is reported in letters re-
Gently received To be pressing.
The government has levied every
fifth COW from the farmers to be
slaughtered for food for the soldiers,
according To information given in these
letters, and all the best horses have
been appropriated by the government
on notes payable after the war is over.
This leaves many of the people with
out their usual means of livelihood
and deprives them of practically all
means of harvesting their crops, which
are rotting on the ground.
