M0MENTOUS MESSAGE TUESDAY!

ernmental purposes for the next fs-
cal year.
The keynote Of the legislative pro-
gram, both in its effect on war and
domestic concerns, will be sounded
Tuesday by President Wilson in his
annual opening address to be delivered
in the house chamber at 1890 p. M, at
JOINT session. It will be the presi-
dents first appearance before con
gress since the historic night meeting
of April 2 at the opening of the spe-
cial session called to permit him to
ask for the declaration of war against
Germany.
Message Will Deal With Momentous
Matters.
Public printers were at work yester-
day on the message the delivery of
which is awaited with unusual inter
est because of the opportunity it pre-
sents for comment on the war accom-
plishments and aims of the nation in
its relations with the Allies, the up
heaval in Russia, the reverses Of Italy
and the immediate policy as to Ger
many's allies. The message is said to
be unusually long and dealing with

UNCLE JOE IS BACK
WITH WAR PAINT ON

Washington, Dec. 3.-Uncle Joe
Cannon of Illinois arrived today for
the coming session of congress. He
is very enthusiastic over the war. He
said that his people desire him to
vote for whatever appropriations are
necessary to the quick and successful
prosecution of the war.
"The sentiment Of my country"
said he, "is for a vigorous war on
Germany. The citizens of Illinois are
willing for the government to spend
money to win a decisive victory. We
should waste no time in making the
proper provision for the men in the
field and on the water"

many matters of international and do
nestle moment
A recommendation for declaration
of war against Austria-Hungary is
not generally expected. Other mes
sages on special subjects during the
session are expected to follow the
PRESIDENTS initial statement.
Unless the president recommends
further declarations of war little bust
ness is planned this week by con-
eressional leaders. A weekend re-
cess probably will be taken to have ap-
preparation committees begin prelim-
mary surveys of the mammoth sup
niy measures and the session is not
expected to get into its stride until
s.tter the Christmas holidays when a
stream of appropriation bills will be
IN food. Few members expect the
session to end before the fall con-
gressional elections.
Senator Martin, democratic leader,
today predicted that the session would
last until next August at least, while
many members believe it may merge
with the final session of the Sixty
fifth congress next December.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Congress re-
assembled today at noon for its second
war session.
Most of the senate and house MEM
bers have arrived and all arrange
ments are complete for what promises
to be another epochal and lengthy ses-
sion. Increased determination of the
American people for vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war to victory was the
message universally brought by the
returning members.
Immediately after converting and
appointing committees formally to
notify President Wilson and each 9TH
er tr.at the second session of the Sixty
fifth congress was in readiness, adj
journment was taken out of respect to
the members who died during the re-
cess--Senator Husting of Wisconsin,
who was accidentally shot, and Repre-
sentative Martin of Illinois.
Another feature of the opening day
was the receipt of the appropriation
estimates aggregating many billions
of dollars, for war and general gov

Batch Of Colored Thieves Before Mayor
Walter Lambrgh Stole Ice Tickets Held in $500 Bond
Louis Stewart Released-F Four Boys Held in
500 for Stealing Chickens

held in 500 bond for trial at Clear
water. The evidence was very plain
that they had stolen chickens at va
rious times; also some Of them were IN
the party that broke into fruit stand
several months ago. They were ac-
'cused of breaking into other stores and
stealing small amounts. Four Of the
chicken thieves confessed.
No doubt Judge Brandon will send
them to theTeform school and thus rid
this section of some worthless boys
who have been before the mayor
charged with stealing before this.
Filming them does no good.
There are other chicken thieves who
have not been caught as yet, so it will
be well for those owning chickens to
keep their old gun handy and take
plug at anyone seen proving about
their homes at night.

MORE DESTROYERS IN
FIGHT AGAINST U-BOATS
Work Pushed on New Ones and Other
Types of Vessels Are Joining
I'M the Hunt for Subs.

Washington, Dec. g. Secretary
Daniels reiterated today his conviction
that the U-boat menace has passed so
far as it may have threatened Eng
land with starvation. Adding that,
nevertheless, the submarine continues
to be serious problem, he predicted
that submarine sinkings will fiuctuate,
the average gradually diminishing UNI
til the problem disappears.
While not menacing England with
starvation, the U-boats are threat
ening necessary ocean traffic. Their
toll for the week has been more than
thirty ships, about one-half above
1000 tons. This rate is much
greater than the present output of
new vessels throughout the world.
Therefore, experts feel that every
effort must be made to improve pro-
lection against U-boats This protec-
ton is said to be increasing from
month to month. More destroyers are
getting into action, and work is pro-
crossing rapidly on the large number
of new ones. Other types of vessels
are joining in the submarine hunt,
while the use of hydroplanes and 9th
er aircraft is progressing rapidly.

KAISER NO SUBJECT,
FOR ROBINS CHISEL
Sculptor. Refused to Make Bust Of
Wfiliam-Death Prevented
One of Albert.

Paris, Dec. 3.--It is just revealed
here that the famous French sculptor,
Rodin, was once asked to make a bust
of the kaiser. Friends pressed him
to make it, and although it was pre-
vious to the outbreak of the war,
Rodin, who even then hated Germany
and everything German, politely told
the kaiser's emissary that i'll health
obliged him to leave for the country
and that he was unable to give a
definite answer.
On the other hand, one of Robins
great griends had asked him to make
bust of Albert, king of the Belgians.
The sculptor showed great pleasure at
being called upon to do this, but his
death robbed him of the opportunity
to show his admiration for that gall
liant nation.

U. S. TO HAVE lEE
OF HOLLAND SHIPS
Agreement VIII Probably be Ratified by
The Hague by End of This Week
100000 Tonnage Involved

Washington, Dec. 3.-The Dutch
American negotiations concerning ex-
portation of foodstuffs from the Unit
ed States to Holland and the use of
the Netherlands merchant marine in
the American trade have been con-
cluded. An agreement has been
reached by the government here with
the Dutch minister and Dutch mis-
sion.
Announcement of the details may be
made this week. A member of the
Dutch mission left the United States
ten days ago for The Hague to ac-
quaint the Dutch government with the
details. Only the formal acceptance
by The Hague is necessary to put the
agreement into operation.
The agreement makes available for
the benefit of American commerce APP
proximately 100000 tons of Dutch
shipping, the stipulation being that
the use of such vessels shall be pri-
vate and not public, as otherwise Hol-
land would be guilty of an infraction
of her neutrality; and that they shall
not enter the submarine zones. They
will engage in the carrying trade be-
tween the Americas, between Austria

Huns Push OF British Fails:
Us. Engineers Great Fight

An attempt of Bavarian Crown
Prince Rupprecht by an encircling
movement to nullify the brilliant adj
vance of the British General Byng,
toward Cambria, has resulted appar-
emily in complete failure. Although
at certain points the Germans pierced
the British lines and captured posi-
tons, men and guns, they have paid
dearly fcT their enterprise in casual
ties, the dead near La Vacquere dur
ing the course of twelve hours having
been greater in number than during
any similar period of fighting since
the war began.
Relatively the British line remains
as it was before the German drive.
Tactically it is just as strong. The
enemy, in great numbers, has en-
deavored to pierce the front at Ma
nieres, delivering in all ten attacks
there, all of which were successfully
repulsed. Some of the enemy succeed
ed by redoubled efforts in penetrating
the adjoining village of Les Rues YER
ties, but later were driven out in a
counter attack.
The sharp salient formed by the oc-
cupation of Masnieres by the British
was an extremely hard one to hold
and during Saturday night General
Byng, to improve his line, ordered
the evacuation of the village, which
was carried out unhampered by the
Germans, who Sunday morning evil
IDENTIFY had not learned of the strate-
gle move as they were continuing to
lombard the old positions. Later
Berlin announced that the village had
been cleared of British. Near the
southern base of the line the Germans
also have attempted to better their
positions around Councillor, La Vac
querie and Bovrealon, but their eff
forts, as at Masnieres, brought them
more than additional heavy
casualties. The German war Office
claims that sixty guns and more than
one hundred machine guns were cap
tured by them in the fighting of Fri
day and Saturday.

attack by the Germans Friday was
