A LONG SESSION
AND MUCH TROUBLE

Washington, Dec. 15.-There are
thousand predictions to be heard
here as to what congress win do.
But no one has yet had the courage
to declare that it will adjourn before
the nominating conventions are held.
In fact, many people are doubtful If
an adjournment can be had much be-
fore election day.

submitted is long and varied and 1t
contains n o question upon which
there Is substantial agreement in any
material detail Perhaps reason
able" preparedness comes nearer TO
commanding big majority than any
other matter, but 1t yet remains to
be determined what reasonable
preparedness Is. Certainly the plan
proposed by the President Is moi 30
accepted.
There Is even wider divergence Of
opinion as to the means Of securing
revenue 10 pay for even q reason

the deficit in the treasury which the
democrats, as usual. have produced.

position, from a democratic stand

MEET IN CHICAGO

Washington. Dec. is. Chicago
was selected by the Republican ma
tional committee last night as the
meeting place of the 1916 Republi-
can national convention to be held
June Z, one week before the Demo-
cratic convention in st. Louis.
Advocates of an early convention
urged that now was the time for the
Republican party to take the often
sive against its political enemies with
out regard to the ancient custom of
allowing the party in power to meet
first and announce its candidates and
principles. 1t was urged that the
party should not consider a defensive
campaign, but should blaze the trail
and give its story to the country.
first without waiting to see what the
democrats intended to do.
The fight for the convention
proved to be more one-sided than
friends of the cities which lost had
believed it would be. The fact that
the democrats meet in st. Louis june
Ia, and that many thousand who will
attend have made reservations at the
hotels there for several days ahead
undoubtedly had its influence against
St. Louis after the committee had
decided upon June 7 as the date.

King Peter of Servia has taken refuge in Italy. The aged monarch had refused repeatedly to leave his army, and it was only at the urgent entreaty of his son, Prince Regent Alexander, that he at last agreed to go into exile. The prince said to his father that it would be better for him to preserve his strength, so that he might be able, after his health had been restored, to return to his country at the head of a reorganized army. "I give no more orders,' said King Peter in an interview. "It is

My soldiers are dropping from hunger and weariness. We must feed them, and then, after a few weeks rest, we snail see!' A Rome dispatch said King Peter had accepted Italy's offer of a palace for his use at Caserta, near Naples. The king has been seriously i'll for months, but frequently was on the firing line with the Servian troops.
