WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Congress Is
in session again after nine months
recess. Both houses reassembled to-
day, marking the beginning Of the
sixty-fourth Congress.
Much important business faces the
members. Since the gayels last fell
in the two houses, many momentous
questions have arisen. Overshadow-
ing all others are those caused by the
European war, but they do not COM
pose the entire program. In addition
to the questions of national defense
and revenues, which fall naturally .un.
der the general head of preparedness
the merchant marine and rural credits
legislation promise to command much
attention. Many Investigations, CEN
tering mainly about war problems are
to be inaugurated, and an Interesting
fight will ensue in the Senate over o
proposed cloture rule.
The first business before the House
today was the election Of SPEAKER.
South Trimble. the clerk, called the
body to order. Members then pro.
ceeded to the election OF the speaker.
The Democratic majority made the re.
election Of Champ Clerk, OF Missouri
a forcgone conclusion. Representa-
tive Mann, Of Illinois. the Republi-
can candidate for speaker, was the
choice Of the Republicans for their
leader.

countries tho contingency contem-
plated by Sir Edwin did not arise.
A rapid bombardment Of questions
came from different parts Of the house,
inviting the under secretary seeing
these people left amid a storm OF ridi-
cule," that he convey to them in what
ever neutral country they find them
selves the intimation they are not
wanted here at any time. Lord Cecil
parted the question, saying
Speaking for myself think 1t

dignified for the government Of this
