PEACE SPEECH OF WILSON TO
 BE DISCUSSED
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. D C. Jan. % X general discussion ol President Wilson's peace address Is expected to take place in the senate tomor- TOW. although the Democratic lead, CTS have been trying to put It of. They may succeed n dolns so, but Senator Cummins will call up the resolution immediately after the ses sion opens and will ask that spe- cial time for debate upon it be set He has gwen notice In the senate 10 that effect
 l. has been the intention of the Democratic leaders in the senate to refer the resolution. as well as that of Senator Borah, to the foreign re- lauons committee. It is probable, however. that debate on the resolu- ton will take wide range, and for this reason will probably include Senator Borah's resolution reathTm ing the principles of Washington, Jefferson and Monroe in regard to the Monroe doctrine and the foreign policies of the United States during their administrations.
 The Democrats may also try to prevent prolonged debate on the reso lutions by introducing and adopting a resolution declaring that President Wilson's address does not contem plate the abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine Nor does 1t advocate the sending Of American forces into for eign territory except to protect Am erican rights and lives and to pre- serve the peace of the United States

She did so by assisting the attendants at the Elackwolls prson hos pital. where she has been COR fined. To put a tube into her mouth and slowly Iu,G hur through ii.

WOMEN DOING WORK OF MEN
 THRIVE ON TT

LONDON, Jan. % Welfare work CTS in the great East End report that families in that district have suffered much less than might have been expected from the high cost of food.
 The 'si& penny meal" which used 10 include three pence worth of meat, ponny's worth of green vegetables, a peuny's worth of potatoes and a pennys worth of bread, is, however, a thing of the past, Fish and eggs are now unatcainable luXuries. But the houseaeepers buy more beans and cereals than they used to do, and, as always, they buy great quan- titles of bread.
 Most of these families would feel the pinch severely were it not for the fact that the women are all at work. And welfare workers insist that the work which the East End women are doing has in many cases been a great boon to them physically as well as financially One fragile woman, for instance, is lifting heavy sacks in a flour mill, others are screening coal and handling eight tons to every five tons formerly handled b. the men they have re- placed In addition, these women are doing their own housework and caring for their children at hours when a man would be done for the day. The reasons given for their fitness are significant. As one re port phrases it, they are now earn ing enough to feed themselves prop erIy and they are freed for the first time from the weekly worry of pro yiding food for Friday and Saturday from an empty purse"

 CONSIDERATION
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 29.- The eight hundred million-dollar de. fense budget of the administration is now taking definite shape, ac- cording to announcement made this afternoon. It includes bills for a number oI enterprises of various kinds, some of which will be passed during the present session of con gress, according to the opinion eA- pressed by the Democratic leaders, although it is very probable that when the new congress starts busi- ness it will also have a few mea- sures placed before it in the shape of administration bills for appropria- tions for natiokal defense.
 In the house of representatives the defense budget has taken definite shape. Tue fortification bill, carry ing with it the appropriation of $51 100000 for coast defenses, was passed today
 The house naval committee has completed the naval appropriation biu carrying with it an appropria- tion of $351,o0O,0O0 for naval con struction purposes. It is expected that this bill will pass practically as recommended by the committee.
 Tie house military committee is also working on the army appropria- tion bill, carrying with it the ap- propriation of $360O00.00O The uni yersal training bill, the only other military measure pending, will prob ably not be taken up by this con gress, but will be passed on to the next. It may also be possible that some of the other national defense bills will be passed on to the next congress.
