WOUNDED CRY FOR MOTHERS.
Some Keep Up the Pitifui Pleadings
Throughout the Night.

A psychological feature at Trieste
that is similar to other fronts is that
the wounded in the field always cry
for their mothers. Officers who have
fought on the western front say that
the wounded who lay in the woods of
Argonne and elsewhere on this front
made the battlefield resound all night
long with their cries for mother, and
they observed particularly that both
the Germans and French did the same
and that this was particularly true of
new troops and in the earlier part of
the war.
Officers from the trenches said it
was heartrending to hear the pitiable
cries after charges. especially at night.

Mamma mia. mamma miar' often

MINOR MEASURES TO BE
CONSIDERED BY CONGRESS
Several Treaties to Be Ratified-Suf-
frage and Prohibition Hosts on Hand.

While the preparedness measures
and means Of raising additional reve
nue. will occupy greater part of the
timeso of congress, other measures less
important will also be considered. The
Colombian treaty. which carries $685.

anna canal zone and for the action of
President Roosevelt, may be disposed
Of by the senate. Senator Stone, chair
man of the committee on foreign rela-
tons. is In favor Of ratifying 1t, but
1t Is feared now by friends Of the
treaty that there will be enough oppo-
sition to defeat 1t. Senator Borah.
Republican member Of the foreign re-
lations committee, has repeatedly said
that he would use all his power to pre-
vent ratification.
The Nicaraguan treaty, which pro-
vides 100000 for a canal right of
way, Will be stoutly opposed by Sena-
tor Smith of Michigan and others and
may never be ratified.
new treaty with Haiti providing
for supervision Of that country by the
United States will be presented
The attitude Of this country toward
Mexico will be discussed in the senate.
But If President Carranza succeeds in
crushing Villa and bringing about peace
congress will not devote much time to
that country.
The bill to provide more liberal
government for the Philippines may be
passed at this session. The house
passed the Jones bill last winter, but
it did not get out of the senate COM
mittee.
The two spectacular issues before
congress will be that Of woman suf-
frage and prohibition. Large numbers
of woman suffrage and prohibition ad
vocates are coming here from the vari-
GUS states to make determined efforts
to get votes for women and to make
the capital dry 1t is estimated that
300 or 400 women will frequent the
corridors of the capitol for months to

posed amendment TO the constitution.

mined that their proposition to drive
liquor out of Washington shall be ac-
cepted.
