WOULD SPEED UP CONGRESS.
Ways and Means Body Discusses
Jumping of Measures

meeting of the Ways and Means
Committe WAS held yesterday at
which the question of speeding up leg
tslation in the House was discussed
At length. The same problem will be
taken up by the Democrats of the
House tonight, who will assemble in
caucus to decide measures TO relieve
the threatening congestion OF legisla-
ton.
The necessity OF invoking the gag
rule or throwing overheard some of
the bills generally recognized as sd-
ministration measures gives promise
that the majority council will not be
an altogether harmonious affair.
The Ways and Means Committee
practically reached the conclusion yes
terday that the tariff commission bill
and the revenue measures, by which
II is proposed TO meet the added sS-
penses of preparedness. shall all be
Jumped together in one measure.

ROAD HEARING MONDAY.
Widening of BcanfnR Highway 10
Be Discussed at Meeting.

The hearing on the proposed widening
of Benning road northeast. which was
begun before the Commissioners at the
District Building yesterday. ~ill be con-
tinued at o'clock Monday afternoon.
The Commissioners instituted condem-
nation proceedings for the widening some
time ago. but, discovering a mistake IN
the highway plan, withdrew the proceed
ings.
The original proceedings called for a
width of 10 feet. II is probable tina {
when the proceedings are resumed after
the hearings. the width will be extended
TO 80 feet. The proposed widening was
opposed at the hearing yesterday by at
torney for the Washington, Baltimore.
and Annapolis Railway Co, which said
the widening would cause the removal
of three tracks and a major portion OF
the station at Fifteenth and II streets.

net You only think of one thing. That is how
to kill the man you fighting with before he
can kill you You are nearly crazy with ex-

in the melee you'd be likely to lose your bal
ance and your attention would be drawn away
from the necessity OF protecting yourself on
every side. The French. they use the threc-cor-
nercd bayonet. 1t does not make clean wound
like ours. 1t lacerates the flesh on account of the
three edges. When the wound closes outside it
does not close inside So the blood congcals and

On the subject OF prisoners our German friend
had much to say. 1t was plain that he took a
philosophical interest i'll making observations
among them. In spite of his frank liking for the
French he had to confess that when they were
prisoners they disappointed him somewhat; they
didn't like to work; they would sit back and re-
fuse to bestir themselves. Perhaps they could
see no good reason for aiding the enemy. The
Russians, on the contrary, begged for work There
were more than two million Russian prisoners in
Germany There was not work enough for
all of them. Would not many of them stay in
Germany after the war? All, no! Even if they
wanted to stay they would not be allowed The
