No Extra Session

1NO LAtId OCSSlOl
Scores Of members Of both houses
joined tonight in an exodus from
Washington, taking with them assur-
ances that no extra session of Con-
gress would be called, at least before
the fall. Despite the fact that many
important bills failed Of consideration
because of the long filibuster against
the ship purchase bill, it was generally
understood that Congress would be
given a rest and the country re-
spite from legislation. 1t was regard
ed as extremely probably, however
that the 64th Congress would be sum
moned in October and might be able
to adjourn for the political conventions
and national campaigns in 1916.
Very little general legislation is car
ried in the appropriation bills. Much
was proposed. but most of the meas
ures virtually were cleared of such
provision by points of order and the
postoffice bill that failed to pass, con-
tanned more new legislation than any
other.
Investigations
Before adjournment Congress pro-
vided for several important investiga-
tions to be carried on during recess
A committee will inquire into alleged
lobbying in connection with the snip
purchase bill; commission will study
rural credits legislation and Demo

The appropriations committee today
began the work of tabluating the
amounts of the various bills, which
took money out of the treasury during
the session It will be several days be-

but the total appropriations are esti-

The annual appropriation bills which
failed caused considerable trouble

way through Senate opposition, i,

The joint resolution which contin.

to abandon the bill and that the joint
resolution had been put through the

Important Battles

The battles in the East and for the
possession of the Dardanelles are Gre
ating a great deal of interest, as they
are considered to have very marked
bearing on the future of the war.
Having pressed the Germans back
from Przasrysz toward Mlawa, the
Russians are now eXerting their eff
forts and according to their own &C
counts. with success, to drive them
back on the district furtser to the
north, from west of kovno to west of
Grodno and at the same time in front
of Lomza. The movements. if success
full, might naturally be expected to
force the Germans to withdraw from
in front of Ossowitz, which fortress
they continue to lombard with their
heavy guns.
Austrian Attacks
The Austrians continue their fierce
attacks under most Instantaneous
conditions, owing to the snow and
cold. against the Russian entrench-
ments in the Carpathians, while
another of their armies, confronted
with strong Russian achievements is
falling back in eastern Galicia.
Continuous Bombardnent
Relays Of battleships keep up an al
most continuous Commandment against
the Dardanelles forts. They have
cleared the outer straits and are now
attacking the forts which line the
Narrows and which are considered
the most difficult to deal with.

DR.. ROYAL j. EDDY.

Gens Falls papers report the death
of DR.. Royal jerome Eddy on May g.
Dr. Eddy was a cousin of DR. M. H.
Eddy of this village and graduated from
Middlebury College in 1866. He was
Chi Psi. He attended the University
of Vermont Medical school and the
College of Physicians and Surgeons,
New York. His first practice was in
Salisbury. Later he moved to Bristol
and in 1871 to Glens Falls, where he be-
came practitioner of great reputation.
He was regarded as the founder of the
hospital in that city The esteem in
which he was held in Glens Falls is in
dlcated by the following editorial from
the Post-Star of May t.
Glens Falls lost an able physician and
a good and useful citizen when Dr.
Royal Jerome Eddy died yesterday
afternoon. Although he had been
aiing several weeks, the announce
ment that he had passed away created
a feeling of gloom throughout the city
such as is rarely experienced.
OF course his death will be most keen
ly felt by his relatives and immediate
friends, but the sorrow over the event
is by no means limited to those circles.
AS physician DR. Eddy stood well in
the fore of his profession. In the
building up of the Glers Falls Hospita
he performed an important service. he
was, in fact, a pioneer in this particular
field, and the splendid hospital facilitie:
we now enjoy are due in large measure
to the devoted efforts of DR.. Eddy.
In the annals of the Glens Falls Med
cal and Surgical Society, DR.. Eddy il
recorded as the founder of that organiza
ton. He held the proud distinction O
having been its president during thirty
five consecutive years. The weight o
years did not affect his keen interest il
the society. For it he showed the sam'
concern that he evidenced in all tn,
other manifold affairs of his long ant
useful life.
To write that DR.. Eddy was a favorit'
in the city would be hopelessly to under
estimate his popularity. His prompt
ness at any hour of the day or night Il

Mr. Roosevelt calls the sinking of the
Lusitania piracy. Billy Sunday says it
was hellish. Rev. DR.. Jowett declares
that it was foul and premeditated muir
der. Another minister characterizes it
as the Black Hole of Calcutta, the mas
sacre of St Bartholomew, and the
Piracy of the Barbary Coast rolled into
one.
Why not recognize it as twentieth
century war? Has not war steadily
grown more terrible all down the cen
turtles? Is not each new weapon of de-
struction first eXecrated as unfair and
barbarous, and then adopted by those
who condemned it? Gunpowder was
scorned as brutal savagery by gentle
men of the sword, but later came to
honor in the profession of arms. Doubt
less the first savage who affixed a
Clipped stone to his arrow was despsed
by his foes who knew only the recog-
nized wooden missile This is the age
of science and electricity, and war
simply uses the knowledge of it's age.

it will be twentieth century war, the

an hour should thrust his hand into
the water his arm would probably be
broken, because at that speed the
water would act almost as a rigid
body, owing to its inability to give or
