Willis completed sentence Of 10 days

RECORD SENATE
SESSION COMES TO END
Republicans and Democratic Senators 0p-
posing Government Ship Purchase
Bill Forced Adjournment
Last Night.

Washinton, d. c.. Feb. ll.-Republlcan
and Democratic senators who oppose the
government ship purchase bill, aided by
Senators Norris and Kenyon, progressive
Republicans, who have stood by the bull,
forced an adjournment last night OF the
longest continuous session in the history
of the Senate and made more uncertain
than ever the fate of the measure which
the administration has so urgently
pressed upon Congress.
Upon the adjournment after 04 hours
and IL minutes of continuous debate,
leading members of both houses of Con-
rress conceded that an extra session TO
be called soon after March seemed in
eyitable. There were some, however,
who still hoped that there yet might be
time to dispose of appropriation bits
and the ship purchase measure in some
form before adjournment.
Adjournment came on a motion made
by Senator 0Gorman, which prevailed,
4S to 46, after Senator Norris, deploring
the fatiguing filbuster, had proclaimed
his conclusion that opponents Of the ship
purchase bill could filibuster il to its
death.
Disappointed over the loss OF support
from the progressive Republicans, but
still hopeful that something yet could be
done To- save the bill, administration
leaders *of the Senate would not admit
this morning that the cause was lost.
Anticipating break in the Senate, Pres
ident Wilson had been conferring with
House leaders on plans Of getting the
bill before the House, and such course
may be taken, though the Senate Re.
publicans insist their fight viii continue

romplish ON the House side

Lodz, Thus Giving Up One
of the Big Advantages
Gained by Them Several
Months Ago

Reports to-day of the campaign IN the
Carpathians are conflicting, although It
is agreed that heavy fighting is in prog
ress. Petrograd claims of victories are
not admitted in Berlin, where 1t is stated
that the Austro- German forces are max
ing progress steadily. A correspondent
of Berlin newspaper asserts that the
spirit of the Russians appears to have
been broken; that they have lost 10000
men this month and are now content TO
remain on the defensive.
One of the most stubborn fights on
French battlefelds is said to have been
won by the allies. For six weeks the
hill Of Notre Dame de Lorette in north
western France has been in dispute. In
winning possession Of this hill the allies
have gained an important advantage,
since the position dominates the sur
rounding region.
