IMMENSE LOT OF WORK DONE
 BY CONGRESS
Session Remarkable, of Course, for Its Action on War
 Measures.
LITTLE FRICTION NOTICED
Members, as General Thing, Were ous-Administration Sue cessful in Most Legislation

Washington.-"The most remarkable session in the parliamentary history of the world" was the way Demo- cratic and Republican leaders charac- terized the first war session of the Sixty-fifth congress. which came to q close at three o'clock in the afternoon of October 6, exactly six months after the declaration of war against Ger many.
 The record of legislation enacted and money appropriated has no paral- lei anywhere in the annals of all time.
 Beginning with the declaration of war against Germany in April, con gross has passed bill after bill of the most revolutionary character, includ- ing such measures as the draft bill and the food control bill. Appropria- tions and contract authorizations for the present fiscal year, totalling $2l,- 390.000,000, including $7,0000 100000 in loans to the allies, were voted with out q single dissenting voice, Ii record equalIed nowhere, not even fin the kaiser-dominated German reichstag.
 How Money Is Expended.
 The following table shows how the money is to be spent:

 As part of the scheme of meeting these enormous expenditures congress passed the &, ,535, 100000 war revenue bill. the largest taxation bill in Amer ican history. leyying directly or in- directly upon every man. women and child in the United States. Something more than billion dollars of this amount will be taken from war profits. All incomes more than S1 .000 for sin gle men and more than 5000 for mar ried men are made subject to taxation.
 Where New Taxes Fall.
 Here are some things upon which the average citizen will pay taxes un- der the new war tax bill:
 Approximately per cent increase on incomes of 5000 or less.

 Increased tax on cigars, cigarettes and manufactured tobacco and snuff.
 Little Dissension During Session.
 Despite pacifist activities, the ses. sion WAS marked with comparatively little dissension. the fighting eenterins about questions mainly affecting pol. icy. The most stubborn contests were staged over the revenue bill, the draft bill and the food control bill. In ev- cry case, except censorship of the newspapers and speech. the adminis' traitor has received everything 1t asked of congress for the conduct of the war.
 Congress was in session 1SS days During that time more than 10000 army, navy and marine corps nomina' tions sent to the senate were con- firmed, among then the advancement of Major General Pershing, eomman- der in chief of the armies in France, and Mai jor General Bliss, chief of stan, to the rank of full general, held only four times previously in American his

To the Mothers of Boys in France

To the Mothers of Boys in France
The following paragraphs will be
interesting to the mothers whose
boys have gone to France. They are
the words of the machine gunner, Ar
thur Guy Empey, who served for a
year and a half with the British
army in France. At the end of that
time his cheek was crushed nearly to
pulp, but the young American sur
geon, Harvard unit man, put a piece
of another mans rib in place Of his
smashed bone and now only a little
jagged red scar remains after the re-
markable operation. The New York
Times shows a picture of Empey at
the American woman's hospital near
Paignton, England, where his face
was practically made over. His nurse
stands beside him. This nurse is a
Marion county woman and in the
county at present. She does not like
publicity, but possibly many can
guess her name.
This hero is the author of the new
book, "Over the Top" which has just
arrived at the library. He says to
American mothers:
'I'd like to tell every mother in
America that, no matter what her boy
is when he goes into the war, he'll be
a manlier man when he comes out of
it. He will be more self-reliant. more
courageous; a great quality of justice
and fair play will have been instilled
into him. And the army is a great
leveler; the highbrow, the roughneck.
the wise and the otherwise are all on
the same plane, fighting for the same
cause, and all fighting for you. The
coal heavens son and the million
aires son, marching side by side,
sharing the same life, are in just the
same danger together; German bull
let is no respecter of social position.
"Then there is the Y. NJ. C. A. You
people in America ought to do every
thing you can to help the Y. M. c..
A. 1t is the real home of the Amer
lean soldier in France. 1t can't give
him his loved ones, but it gives him
the comforts and interests and pleas,
ures OF home"
Tomorrow we will print what he
says not to write your soldier friends.
within the Law" one of the big
gest movies shown in Ocaa in many
day, will be seen at the Temple to-
night. Alice Joyce and Harry Morey
star in this Vitagraph feature with
an unusually strong cast. Nearly ev-
eryone knows the story of the girl
Mary, who spent three years of her
young life in prison for a crime of
which she was innocent. When she
came out she was broken in spirit and
health, and she sought those who had
wronged her and made them suffer
as she had. She was outside the pale
of society and her methods were
those of social outcasts, but the law
could never touch her, for while she
played the game to the very danger
edge, she always remained within
the law" The entire picture, intense
with the thrill of outraged woman
hood, battling singly against what we
call our social system. The prices of
admission to within the Law" are Is
and 25 cents.
Mr.. c. c. Wright, who, came from
Jacksonville Saturday to spend Sum-
day with Mrs. Wright at the home of
Gen. and Mrs. Alfred Aver, remained
to see the Liberty Bond fire last
night, and returned to Jacksonville on
the midnight train.
