HOUSE REPUBLICANS
ARE BEL[|GERANT
FINANCIAL BILLS LARGEST
EVER INTRODUCED.
Legislation Involving Many Bill
lions to Come up This
Week.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Congress
works this week on three great var
measures, the $11,53S,954,46G war
bond and certificate, the $1,000
100000 revenue and the $176,CG9,-
600 sailors and soldiers Insurance.
bills. The revenue bill may be sen.
to conference by the senate before
Saturday night, by which time the
other measures will have been pass
ed by the house. Republicans of the
house will oppose few provisions of
the bond bill and seek to amend it
so as to provide for war expendi-
lures committee and the optional
feature of the insurance bill will be
subjected to attack, but both prob
ably will pass about as they were
drawn.
The war provision of the revenue
bill, levying a total of $1,2S6,OOO,-
600 is generally expected to stand.
Much oratory will be produced by
the trinity of bills. however. They
arc of the character which in peace
times would be assailed on all sides
as radical and socialistic beyond
measure. The two financial bills are
the largest of their kind ever intro
duced and the insurance bill con
templates revolutionizing the euti.e
system of compensating a nation $
armed defenders and their depend
Eents for war services.
During the Labor Day holiday the
senate will continue to work on the
war profits section of the revenue
bill seeking to dispose Of it not later
than Wednesday. The house ad-
journed yesterday to reconvene
Tuesday for consideration of the
bond bill. 1t will be passed We'd
nesday. Both houses will adjourn
early Tuesday to march with Presi-
dent Wilson in the parade of District
of Columbia men drafted for the
new army.
The climax in the senate fight over
both high and low tax factions
claiming victory. When the final
vote on the section is taken, consid-
Grafton of the income tax provisions
will begin.
Other important contests are
promised over the consumption taxes
on sugar, coffee, tea and cocoa, ag
gregating sS6.OOO,OOO, which many
senators believe will be eliminated:
the proposed sugar drawback" re-
peal, the freight and parcel post tax
provisions and the McKellar substi-
tute providing increased postal rates
on second class publications.
After sending the tax bill to con-
ference there probably will be short
but sharp discussions OF peace on
resolutions of Senators La Toilette
and Sherman suggesting promulga-
tion OF peace terms. Senate lead
ers expect to have the resolutions
overwhelmingly beaten.
With thes important measures and
a new urgent deficiency appropria-
tion bill carrying between $4,000
100000 and $6,00O,0OO, O,0OO few
leaders see any hope of adjournment
before October.

PERSH|NG SAYS j. s.
MUST HAVE PATIENCE
MUST BUILD ENTIRE NEW
ORGANIZATION.
Declares 1t Is Almost ImpOs-
sible for People Back Home
to Understand.

Paris, Sept. 1.-MajoG3 Gen Per-
shing, who has remained in Paris
clearing up the work at his old
Headquarters and who is not going
to field headquarters until Sunday
or Monday, declared today in con-
nection with the plans for the com
ing winter that the American peo-
pie must learn the meaning and val
ue of patience and not expect that
the expedition forces landed in
France can be rushed Immediately
to front line trenches.
To put an inadequate. insufficient
ly supplied force into actual combat,
he said, would merely be making a
mistake, which the Germans un-
questiOnably have hoped and ex-
pected the United States would
make. 1t is the intention. rather,
that when America does take her
place in the line. shoulder to
shoulder with the other allies next
year. She will be fully prepared to
80 through the summer campaign
and make the Germans feel the full
weight OF her military power.
Immense Task.
"Whilo those of us who have fully
studied the situation and who know
what is necessary to he done" said
Gen. Pershing to the Associated
Press, "are anxious that the people
at home strive to realize the i'm
mensity of the task in which we are
engaged and shall have patience and
help us accomplish that aim in the
shortest possible time.
I'VE came into the war without
an army. SO now we must build an
entire new organ zation and build it
so big and so strong that we can
take our place along with our allies.
who already have had three years
time and experience.
Hard To Understand.
Il realize how very difficult it Is
for the people at home to under
stand the war. to understand the ef-
fort that lies behind the war Our
problems are greater than any that
France or Great Britain had to
solve, but we are solving them and
will continue to do so.
1T is impossible to create a vast
fighting machine merely by the wave
of wand. | wish that il were pos
sible to do so and that we might be
fighting the German government this
minute. We know that the only way
hammer it and keep on hammering
it, That is what we expect to be do
ing with all our fresh strength and
enthusiasm during next years cam

While the Italian offensive has the
