destitute French children and the re-

Washington, Sept. 9.--Passage OF
the $4,000, 100000 war tax bill late
tomorrow by the senate, after a
months contention, is the first major
item of an adjournment program be-
ing framed by congressional leaders.
The adjournment fever is in the
air. with general acquiescence in a
speeding-up process. Leaders are en-
deavoring to reconcile the desire at
the capitol and White House to close
| the session next month, with the pres
idents legislative program, including
the soldiers and sailors insurance bill
as the principal stumbling block.
Chief features of the program he
| fore congress are:
Features Before Congress.
The war tax bill, which will go to
conference this week, and probably to
the president within a fortnight
The $1l,500, 100000 war credits bill
which will be taken up Tuesday by
the senate finance committee.
The $4,000, 100000 deficiency appro-
priation bill before the house.
The insurance measure, due to pass
the house this week.
The administration trading with the
enemy bill, which has passed the
house and is awaiting senate debate
Tuesday.
As usual the presadjournment con-
| gestion is on the senate side. The
war tax bill is definitely set for pass
age there tomorrow While II is in
conference the senate hopes to pass
the trading with the enemy and the
eleven billion dollar war credits bills,
| possibly within fortnight, leaving
the insurance measure and the mann
! moth appropriation bill as the final
| features.
Senate Badly Muddled
! Senate leaders are endeavoring to
secure agreement of administration
leaders to- postpone enactment of the
theory that few, If any, American SOL
diers will be actually in the trenches
| by that time. The president and Sec
retary McAdoo, however, so far have
refused to agree to its postponement
and are urging its prompt passage.
This may upset hopes Of vacation
before the regular December meet
| ing.
Agitation for discussion of peace
after passage of the tax bill apparent
| ly has subsided. None of the sena-
tors who have planned to discuss
peace are ready. Senator La Toilette
is undecided when he will call UP his
resolution proposing a statement Of
! American peace terms. The presi-
dents reply to the pope's peace note
has dissipated in peace debate.

The effort has been in accordance
with the expressed views of the presf-
dent of the United States and of the
civic and military authorities of
France to coordinate along helpful
lines all relief work being done in
France and America. The first and
the supreme object of the task is to
care for our own army and navy. To
ward this end the Red Cross is estab-
lishing field canteens, which it will
provide for every corps of the French
army as well as for the American
army. There are now large reception
camps near the coast where United
States soldiers are received.
Along the route to the firing line
the Red Cross has established infirm.
aries and rest stations. At railwa,
stations canteens are being establish,
ed where our soldier may find rest
and refreshments. Baths, food, games
and other comforts will be available
When American troops start fol

Special Relief Given.
Various appropriations have beer
made to worthy causes, such as ST..
100000 for the relief of sick and
wounded French soldiers and theil
families. $1,2O0,OOO for medical re.
search work in France; $500, 900 fol
supply warehouses; $1,500,0O0 to buy
foodstuffs to be sent to France, and
100000 for the hospital supply
service.
The transportation problem with
which the Red Cross has had to cope
in moving supplies overseas has beer
most difficult, but through officia
French British and Italian co-opera.
ton with the United States shipping
board and leading steamship and rail
road companies, vast quantities OF
supplies are now shipped almost
daily, A special Red Cross transport
service has been developed in France
as the railroads there are overtaxed
with military needs. Six base hospi.
tails were sent to Europe in advance
of the American soldiers and more
than a dozen are now actively in ser.
vice there and others are rapidly be.
ing made ready.
1t is not the policy of the Red
Cross to rebuild French villages, but Il
is hoped to afford new starts in life
to a large number of persons now
destitute through ravages of the GEL
man army. A provisional experiment
along this line is being worked out.

President McNulty of the interna-
tional union OF linemen had sent
out notices that union charters
would be revoked IL the strikers
did not return to work at once,

coma. The idea was openly ridi-
culed.
'McNulty has absolutely no
power to order us back, unless
the demands of the union are ac-
coded to. by the company" said
Thompson.
Our union rules provide that
strike can only be terminated by
vote of all members. We have
