No Agreement Reached.

There is agreement upon either
the plan or scope of military prepared
mass. The democrats do not know how
far they want to go in the first place,
and if they knew the destination they
cannot they admit. agree upon the
road which leads to it.
Then. coming to the next lower sta ge
OF the structure. there is complete dis
agreement as to the method of pro-
viding the means for carrying out
whatever plan they might possibly
q gee upon.
The President has recommended GER
tain definite forms of taxation to secure
funds. So far as can be ascertained,
only one featurel of his recommends
tions meets with universal approval,
and that is the increase of the income
tax above the highest limit now fixed
by law. All of the smaller taxes are
resisted because they bear upon the
plain people. The higher tax is sup
posed to nit the rich man. and that is
heartily acclaimed. But, they say. don't
lower the bars SO as to hit the man of
small means.
The proposed tax on gasoline is re-
scented, the tax on bank checks is call
ed vexatious. The proposal to tax steel
and iron is cried out a ainst as IAN at
tack upon industry. Every fellow
wants the other fellow to bear the bur
den of this contemplated program which
has not even been agreed upon.
And in the meantime. if the President
casts his eye over the House TO find a
rNan-a big. strong man who can do
tfiIEs-to stand by him and push his
Dolicies through. where is he? The
House. that is to say, the democratic
side Of the House-the ma jority-is di-
vided into factions. each with a mum Der
o. leaders" but there is no one man
in the group who is able to stand forth,
plant the Presidents standard and sum-
mon all to its support, the President S
friends complain.

Steel Stocks Sold Abroad.

From figures recently made public
by the United States Steel Corporation
1T will be seen that since September
1915, there has been a decrease of
10000 in the number of shares of
common stock held by foreign inves-
i, tors. Before the war started there,
were 1.2S5,636 shares of United States
Steel common held by European stock
holders. and December 81. 1915 the
number had decreased to 696,631
shares. or little less than so per
cent decrease. In view of the fact
that 100000 shares of this stock was
dumped onto our markets in year
and a half the upward movement of
the stock is all the more remarkable
Stockholders are now hoping for an
assurance that the directors of this
corporation will be sufficiently liberal
from the standpoint of dividends to
warrant their estimate of enhanced
values for their portion of the owner
ship of our giant steel corporation If
the recent activity in the steel markets
is any criterion, there is ample grounds
for the high hopes of these stockhold-
ers. The latest monthly statement of
the Steel Corporation shows the total
of untitled orders on December 81 to
be l,S06,220 tons, gain of more than
100000 over November, and correspond
ing with 3,324,o94 in November of la
year. This is probably the high-water
mark in the untitled tonnage of the
company, and insures the continuous
operation of all its facilities on high
percentage for many months.

Titular Leader Against Him.

The titular leader of the House is
openly arrayed against him and his
policies. The chairman of one of the
important committees charged with the
duty of passing upon appropriations
for one branch of the public service
9 5 TO which the President has declared
8 definite policy defies him.
Not only are his policies challenged,
tut the ways and means to carry them
into effect are Questioned In point of
fact. the President at this time. as far
as the House of Representatives is con-
cerusd. appears to be undermined at
every point. A Mississippi river levee,
bUrrowed by crayf1sh, would, it is sug-
@sSted. be proper smile.
To begin a the top of the structure
there is no agreement among the demo-
Gratis as to what the top should be.
SoT.e want a big army. organized a GER
tain way, and others want no increase
in the army at all. Others say that if
there is increase it must be accord
ing to their own ideas.
Some want big navy-battleships
and all that-and others say no; few
submarines and some aeroplanes. with
additional coast defenseS. will suffice.
Some declare for a citizen militia, 9TH

military service.

Purpose of Trip Home.

Minister Van Dyke is coming home 10
discuss with Washington officials the
general subject of American trade with
nations in and near the war zone. 1t is
expected that particular attention will
be paid to problems arising from trade
with European neutrals.
State Department officials pointed out
last night that it had been increasingly
difficult as commercial regulations i'm
posed by the belligerents became more and
more complex TO discuss with its repre-
sentatives abroad through cable commu-
nication or even by mail the interests OF
American industry and the best means
of protecting it in Europe. There are man!
details, it was said. that could be taken
up satisfactorily only in personal inter

Administration Policies De-
cIared to Be ImperiIed by
Contending Factions.
PRESIDENT CONFRONTED
BY CHAOTIC SITUATION
Democratic Members Without Agree
ment on Plan or Scope of
Suggested Legislation.

Who's who in the SiXty-fourth Con-
Eress?"
Well, that is question. indeed. If 1t
refers to leadership in the House of
Representatives. with corresponding re-
sponsibilty and power to do things.
Veteran members of the House say
that not within their recollection has
there been such situation of chaos.
Of utter lack of directing power-that
is TO say, directing power with force
behind it-as exists now.
And the tragic feature of it all is
that the present time is acknowl-
edged by all to be so momentous. SO
fraught with portentous possibilities
10 the nation and to the individual.
At the other end of PENNSYLVANIA
avenue sits the President. with definite
policies well wrought out in his own
mind and with which the Congress is
well acquainted. To effect those
policies-to enact them into law-the
assent of the legislative body is re-
CURED. His own party is in. control
of both branches of the legislature and
Yet it appears there is none to do his
