WASHINGTON, Dec. S.The atti- tude of the house committee on for e.gn affairs on the Llndenburgh bill, which would place an embargo on the shipment of munitions and supplies to the nations at war for the purpose of bringing about an early peace, IS such that all possibility of the hill coming up for early consideration IS very remote.

The commissioner with his fat salary, surrounded by servants, in comfortable quarters, and in q climate not particularly severe surely was entitled to high. commcndation by his superiors. The highest kind of Judgment was shown too h rnak- ing the message public so that every body might know the supreme hero ism of the railroad commissioner. There are several thousand Alaskans who pass the winter year after year without salaries of railroad propor- lions, without sevants and under con. iitions which would make a lot of people whimper who never get any praise from Washington and who wuold resent 1t If offered.

Def, re the half-session was concluded, an
Aiabamian had played a leading part in
constructing the military preparedness
legislation, and an Alabamian had played
a lea ding part in constructing the naval
preparedness legislation. And Mr.. Dent,
through the retirement from Congress
of Mr. Hay of Virginia, had been
elected without dissenting vote, chairman
of the military committee. Than the
military committee, during the remainder
of the term of Mr.. Wilson, no other will
be more important.
ACTION ON PREPAREDNESS
While there is admittedly a great
deal sof buncombe in preparedness"
and more or less "pork"-every member
of Congress, aware of the imminent
danger which on account of the Eu-
ropean war, constantly beset the peace
of the United States, knew that 1t was
absolutely essential so to rearrange
the army and navy that in the event of
emergency, they could in reasonable
time be whipped into a fighting ma

OTHER WORK OF DELEGATION
All members of the Alabama dele
cation served worthily in producing
legislation out of which the state may
profit. They eagerly supported the nj
trate section of the army bill which
may result in the development of la
tent water power at Muscle shoals
They bent themselves, too, energeti-
cally, in securing rural credits, good

cared for, it being the boast of Mr.. AL

securing new public buildings. In this

There is no question but that Senator
Bankheads greatest achievement--one
which will live and which will benefit

actment of the good roads bill Under

lslation, every state interested in con-
structing worthy highways. will find a
ready and substantial friend in the fed
eral goyernment-one which will put up
a dollar to assist every dollar put up"
by state. There is no question but that
the feature or principle of the Bank
head bill will prove to be self-perpetuat-
ing. 1t is not reasonable to presume that
Congress will ever abandon the plan
formulated by the Alabamian until every
state of the union-though this will re-
| auire many years-is traversed by excel
lent highways.
But this great work was only a part
of that accomplished by the senator AS
