CONGRESS- MAY BE FORCED TO
EXTRA SESSION

Washington, January 2b-Echoes Of
last nights turbulent caucus of Sen
ate Democrats and failure today of the
steering committee to agree on a pro-
gram for the few remaining weeks OF
this session, emphasized the serious
ENHANCEMENT over legislation, which
threatens either to force an extra ses-
sion Of Congress or abandonment until
next week Of several important ad-
ministration measures.
1t became known during the day
that threats and counter threats fol-
lowed in quick succession in the eau
Gus when it was proposed to put GER
tain bills ON the legislative program
to the exclusion of others, Railroad
labor legislation urged by the Prasi-
dent was one target attacked, par
ticularly the strike prevention feature,
although it generally was agreed that
some form of legislation on this line
should be enacted before adjournment,
In fact some administration leaders be-
lieve that failure to do so would fur
Eish the only possible motive for the
President to call an extra session.
The corrupt practices bill was vigor-
ously opposed by Southern Senators
who declared they would not yield to
Federal control of elections proposed
in the measure. They will submit var
!ous amendments, but champions of
the bill already are opposed to the
proposed changes and there seems lit
tie prospect for final action at this
session if any other measures are to
be enacted.
There still in wide disagreement
over water power bills, and several
Progressive Republicans have given
notice that they will talk until March
against the Webb bill to permit COL
lective foreign selling agencies for
domestic corporations, If it is pressed
for vote.
The flood control bill also is in al
most hopeless dispute.
Some administration leaders said to-
night that, in their opinion, revenue
legislation, mineral lands leasing bill
and the regular appropriations event
ually would constitute all that could
be accomplished before adjournment
II this much can be done, they do moi
believe the President would call an
extra session, in view of the uncer.
tainty of organization in the mex
House.
Difference of opinion over matters
Of phraseology in the railroad-labol
bill, practically agreed upon by the
Interstate Commerce Committee, agar
delayed final committee action on the
measure today and further considera
ton was deferred until next week.

VIVISECTION HAS
 SAVED MANY LIVES
DetrOit NeWSl

When medical scientists fifteen years ago began their laboratory eX- periments in vivisection, the entire country arose in protest against this seeming cruelty to animals From coast to coast the press took up the bitter fight against vivisection.
 Yet, were it not for these painstak- ing experiments in vivisection, the fa talities of the European war would be almost doubled. This is the opinion of Dr. A. s. Warthin of Ann Arbor, who lectured before the Wayne County Medical Association recently.
 Doctor Warthin told of marvellous feats in surgical reconstruction being performed on soldiers who in former wars would have been left to die on the field. He recited instances of men be- ing given new faces and new jaws: Of shattering wounds being wholly patched over and eradicated by the grating of new tissue. He told also how tissue is being preserved in cold storage in Eu- rope to be used on wounded soldiers

AMERICANS NOW
 UNDER GERMAN FIRE
Republican A. F. Leased Wre1

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Monday, Oct. 29.(By the Associated Press )-The first Ameri cans to establish contact with the Germans today are bathing in the mud of eastern France. They con- stantly are under fire and constantly have their guns on the enemy. American shells have been hurled 1 into German territory and they have exploded again near the enemy line. l On hill to the right of the ex- l plosions, cataracts of mud are to be seen. To one side an American of 1 ficer is looking out on the scene through his field glasses. He is try ing to see what damage has been done by the artillery to the enemy | and his barbed wire entanglementS. 1 Closer to the enemy in the first
 line trenches is the infantry with the
 shells of both American and German
 guns whizzing over their heads. The men are rubber booted and ponchoed. Rain, mixed with snow, pelts their helmets. No clothing, however, is
 able to withstand the wind driven
 drops of rain and snow, but gunners and infantrymen, although they are wet. are satisfied, feeling that the
 honor of having been the first Ameri- cans in action is more than suffic-
 tent recompense for their discomfort
 The correspondent reached the
 American position after a long motol
 ride through shell battered towns
 Leaving the motor in one of the
 towns, he walked the rest of the way
 Motor cars attract the eye of the
 Germans and they are likely to droI a half dozen shells in the direction that any machine is seen. The first American battery was al
 most walked upon before it was dis
 covered. It was so well hidden unde trees and with foliage about it on , low hung wire netting. Under tn
 net water dripped steadily. Some o the gunners were digging another pi in the mud alongside their hid
 den gun.
 Through the foliage in every dircc tion the ground was undulating. A that moment there was flash o ! flame through the mist. It was tn crack of .75 gun, and followin 1t closely came the noise of a she rushing through the air, becomin fainter and fainter as the projectil went on it's way to the German DO sition over the crest of a hill farthe away. The mud digging artillerist ' continued their work, without eve looking up.
