MANY QUESTIONS
 UP TO CONGRESS
Session Opening Next Week to Be Important as Last-Break With Central Powers, New Loans to Be Considered.

Washington. Nov. 25.-Members of conqress are beginning to return to Washington for the opening of the second session on Monday, December Most of them expect the new ses- sion to rival the last in important ac- t;on and few think it will end before the general congressional campaigns next fall.
 Appropriations for the war promise to require much time and there is such new and unfinished war legis- lation to be dealt with. President Will sons opening message will deter mine in great measure the program of new legislation. Many other matters, including prohibition and woman suf- frage. are promised attention.
 Future relations between this na- ton and Germany's allies may be de- termined early in the session. Many members of Congress are expecting the presidents opening address to deal with the question of whether war shall be declared against Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. Sentiment in favor of such action is general among members now here.
 Work on the appropriation bills for the fiscal year beginning July 1, newt, already has been begun by the House appropriations committee. Ap- propriation estimates are being as- sembled rapidly at the Treasury De- partment for submission.

 Under the direction of English mili- tary experts important tests are be- ing made at the "Hell-Fire" battal- ions camp at the American Univer- sity.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Tendency Constantly Upward and Big Net Gains Are Re- cOrded-FavOrable War News Was Main Influence.

New Orleans, Nov. 25.-The tend ency in cotton here last week was al most constantly toward higher levels. December was the only month to make net decline, and that was only IT points at the lowest levels. Other months were above the level of the preceding weeks close throughout the week, and highest prices were reached on the closing session when trading months were 107 to 122 points up. Closing prices showed net gains of 107 to 120 points.
 Favorable war news was the main influence. December was sent to 28.45 cents pound, the highest contract quotation ever made in this market. Spots were sent to 28.5O for mddling, the highest level in more than half a century.
 Features which contributed to the tirmness of the market were the con tinued good spot demand, larger ex- ports, heavy mill takings and the en- tire absence of expected notices of tenders on December contracts.
 This week the political situation will be broken up by the spot demand and exports will come in for much con- sideration.
 To some extent the trading of the week will be broken up by the holiday Thursday. Great interest will be talk en in crop estimates in view of the announcement that the annual crop estimate by the Department of Agri- culture will be issued December II. This will intensity interest in gin ming, especially as the present gin ming periods end next Saturday.

Father Georges
Happiest Christmas

TINE most memorable Christmas
day in the history of our coun.
try was that on which George
Washington crossed the Delaware in
a boat, followed by his small but reso-
lutte army, and captured the British
and Hessians at Trenton in 1776, an
important turning point in the early
period Of the struggle, says the Phil
adelphia Press. 1t was important in
the fact that the hearts Of the colonists
had been crushed at their vain efforts
to stem the tide of British aggression,
and it was a fine Christmas gift to
the nation when Washington not only
checked their advance. but turned
their jollification in Trenton into a
rout which he followed closely and
which was the first successful resist
ance for the American arms.
The nation had reason to be wild
with joy at the Christmas gift Wash
ington presented to them, for the
most ardent supporters Of the cause
had about given up all hope, and it
was only the iron will Of the illustri-
GUS commander in chief that prevent
ed the failure of the war for freedom.
This Christmas day victory gave the
nation a thrill Of hope and joy, for it
showed that the despised Continentals
were more than match for the Ger
man mercenaries.
Washington always afterward af-
firmed that it was the happiest Christ
mas Of his life.
