WASHINGTON. Sept 23.-Congress
hope is their home stretch in-the race
toward adjournment. The results of
the week probably will determine
whether the special war session can
end as is the aim, between october i

Guilty in keeping a-quorum, despite the
congestion of important legislation.
The leaders are anxious to hurry their
program thru.
Money bills are the center of in
terest. During the last week congress
sent the $11, ,53S, 900 bonds bill to
the president. Tomorrow conferees
hope to finally agree on the two and
one-half billion dollar war tax bill and

will meet to approve increasing the
seven billion dollar war deficiency ap-
preparation measure between $780,
O00,OO and S50O.O00,000. Prompt
enactment of the latter is expected.

Stirred into resentment over dis
closure of German attempts to influ-
ence congress- members of both the
house and senate are consideraing
whether an investigation shall be
ordered. Sentiment for an inquiry is
stronger in the house than in the
senate but leaders on both sides re-
gard one as unnecessary.

this week whether an official ,om-

Victory Is Not Greatest
of War"
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Oct. 6.-The Ypres battle
front is the scene of powerful artil-
lery duel in the falling rain, but at this
writing the infantry is still in the
trenches, though both HaiG and Luden-
dorf apparently expect fresh attacks at
any moment. In addition to the heavy
capture Of prisoners during the great
battle, $50 Germans were rounded up
to-day.
The British commander says: The
enemy's artillery has SHOWN increased

clares: "A destructive fine, which was
powerful throughout the day, increased
in the evening to waves Of drumfire be-
tween Poelcapelle and Gheluvelt."
OF all military writer's only "A Stu

writes, "but it places US in possession

Of nearly % per cent in premiums for

goes traversing the war zone WAS an
nounced to-day by the governments
war risk insurance bureau.
The reduction was made. il WAS Off
cially announced. because Of the de-
crease in the risks" Unoflcially, IL
was regarded AS the government ex-
preston Of its opinion. in terms OF dol
lars and cents. that the U-boats have
passed the zenith in their campaign OF
frightfulness.
Last weeks British Admiralty report
on losses from German submarines
showed the smallest number OF vessels
sunk since the ruthless U-boat warfare
was instituted on February /.
Indications have not been lacking for
the past three weeks that the govern
ment intended TO revise its war risk
insurance rates, in the light Of reduced
effectiveness OF German submarines. II
hardly was thought. however. that the
cut would be large
