ADJOURNMENT PROSPECT
IS NOT NEAR 50 BRIGHT
Railroad Situation and Corrupt
Practices" Measure Threaten to
Keep Congress at Work.

Plans for adjournment of Congress
Friday or Saturday of this week were
shaken up by developments at the Sen
ate end of the Capitol yesterday. The
leaders last night were not optimistic
over the outlook.
In the first place. the possibility of
Congress being called upon to enact
legislation to aid in settling the rail-
road strike situation, emphasized by
visit of the President to the Capitol
and his conference with Senators New
lands and Kern, threatens to add con-
siderably to the delay in adjournment.
Congressional leaders are not anxious
to mix in the strike muddle but the
democrats realize that strike at this
time might result disastrously for the
party when elections are held in No
vember
In the second place. Senator Owens
repeated threat to move to take up the
corrupt practices act" has created the
belief that there is little chance of get
ting away this week. The fact of the
matter is. however, that many demo-
cratic senators are as strongly opposed
to taking up this bill as are some of
the republicans.
Should Senator Owen continue to
taunt the republicans with a desire to
-sidestep this measure. it is likely that
tomorrow a motion will be made by
one of the republican senators to take
up the corrupt practices bill imme-
diately. without waiting until the reve-
nue. bill has been disposed of =
1t is doubtful, however, that the Senate
will be able to complete consideration of
the revenue bill in time this week to have
1t handled by a conference committee of
the two houses and permit adjournment
by Saturday. Little progress was made
in consideration of the bill last week
Many amendments. are to be offered by
Senate democrats as well as republicans

ALLIES NOT READY
 ID TALK PEACE
[Republican A. p. Leased wireI

LONDON. May S-The London morning newspapers today lay great emphasis on Gernany's alleged desire for peace.
 If President Wilson accepts the German note as basis for further discussion" says the Daily Chronicle. "his motive must be sought not in the terms which Germany offers. but in the wider suggestion which was expressed by only a hint in the doc ument, but was presumably amplified in verbal communications with the American ambassador that Germany Is now at the top of her military achievements. If she can make peace BOW 1t would be on terms more favorable than later. If she can strongly enlist American public opin- ion. that is a great step toward the goal.
 Tn such a situation the allies cause needs a plain declaration by the all lied statesmen that no peace nego- tiations are admissible at the present stage. Public opinion in the allied and neutral countries needs to b' clearly reminded of the essential is- sues underlying the present struggle
