JUNGLE" JOE CANNON
IS BACK IN HARNESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Congress is
in session again after a nine months
recess. Both houses reassembled to-
day. marking the beginning of the
sixty-fourth Congress.
Much important business faces the
members. Since the gavels 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 I'M
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 a
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 foregone conclusion. Representa-
tive Mann, Of Illinois, the Republic
can candidate for speaker, was the
choice Of the Republicans for their
leader.
Two hundred and twenty-nine Dem
ocrats, 1877 Republicans, six Progress
stves, one Socialist and one 1ndepen-
dent compose the new house. The re-
cent death Of Representative Wither-
spoon has caused one vacancy and re-

While Greece Stands Out for Its
Sovereign Right in Negoti-
atoms with the Allies.
GREEK PRESS is WRONG
Paris War Council Work is
Quite Gratifying to the
City of London.

LONDON, Dec. 6-No solution has
yet been reached OF affairs in the
Balkans. Russian troops. though
long poised for action near the
frontier Of Roumauia, have not yet,
SO tar as Is known. left their own
territory. Roumania's policy still is
one of wavering and the Greek stu
alton, despite diplomatic parleys and
settlement, remains undeveloped.
According to latest reports from
Athens both the Entente group Of
powers an1 the Greek government
are holding their ground-the En-
tente reiterating its demands, and
Greece refusing to make concessions
inconsistent with its sovereign right.
Press Views Wrong.
An official communication has been
issued at Athens to the effect that
the Greek press does not represent
the views of the Hellenic govern
ment. which is saiu to be optimistic
regarding successful settlement. but
the ground for the optimism, which
has failed to impress the newspapers
and public either at Athens or In
London is not given.
Premier Skouloudis again confer
red yesterday with King Constantine,
who afterward received the French
uation at some length.
Since most of the questions pend
ing are Of a military nature. the i'm
preston is general that their solu-
ton depends upon the decision Of the
war council at Paris.
Gratifying Signs.
The war council at Paris on Satur-
day together with the text of Italy's
adhesion to the pact of London.
agreeing not to conclude separate
peace, and the arrival in Paris of
General Porro, second in command
OF the Italian army, are regarded
here as gratifying signs of the in
creasing solidarity of the Entente
Allies, and it is hoped by the British
public that this closer union. will
soon bear fruit in a more energetic
Balkan campaign.
The Bulgarians announce a further
pursuit Of Serbian forces through AL
bantam territory. The retreat Of the
Serbians Is reported to have assumed
the character OF precipitatel fight
along the Bell Drini river towards
Scutari. Further north the Austrians
report that the Montenegrins fighting
on their fronties have been repulsed
after offering violent resistance.
On the other fronts only sporadic
artillery duels and small engage
ments of local importance are re-.
ported.
