 It is evident that it is ''up to- MT Wilson. If he wants laws putting into effect his entire programme it is gener- ally believed he can get them with the ease with which he forced Congress in September to enact the Adamson bill.
 THE INDEFINITE DELAY
 The special joint committees of Con- gress, studying the railroad problem a problem involving ownership and more general control by the government ot railroads, and one indirectly concerned by the question of labor and wage, will not attempt to report by January 1. The problem looms so large, according ing to Senator Newlands. that no intelli- gent report can be made within the space of year Congress has been accordingly asked to extend the time of the commit tees life.
 Senator Newlands has suggested an ex- tra session beginning March 4. The idea prevails that the President will oppose that suggestion.

One story which Lord Kitchener told
in Athens made particularly deep
impression. No public account OF the
Incident had ever been given.
when the maneuvefs OF the great
fleet were held about month ago
north of scotland said Lord kiich-
ener. eight German submarines OF the
newest and strongest type went out
with the purpose of getting TO the
fleet and playing havoc with the
maneuyers. One came to grief in our
North Sea net. The others nosed
through and approached the fleet But
there was another net holding them
off They tried TO break through to
get around 10 find an opening. But
there was none Two more were lost
IN tails effort Finally the remainder
decided TO return to their base at
ielieoland
Hut they could no longer find the
way out. The gate in the net had
been closed. Two were lost while
desperately trying to get through. The
remaining three finally were forced to
come to the surface and surrender
themselves. We took them intact

Another declaration OF the British
