SENATOR PREDICTS
HOOVER'S failure
]. A. Reed. of Missouri. Believes
Congress Through with Him.

CBy the International News Seryicc.)
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-Regulation of
the production and prices of food,
particularly of meats, depends upon
voluntary action on the part of the
American farmer and the United
States people. Congress will enact
no more pro- Hoover legislation.
This was the assertion of United
States Senator James A. Reed, of
Kansas City, Mo-, who returned home
this evening after comforting on legal
business here.
"Mr. Hoover, / understand, left the
meat situation largely in the hands
of the packers and stock raisers, at
the end of the conferences which he
had here Saturday" said Senator
Reed. But he told them that it may
be necessary for Congress to enact a
law forbidding the sale of veal calves,
as a means of conserving the meat
supply of the world.
'T predict that such law never
will be passed. Mr.. Hoover has got
all the legislation out of Congress
that he is going to get. He has got
too much; the powers given him by
the food regulation bill are tremen-
dous. Congress has had enough OF
Mr.. Hoover and so has Mr.. Wilson

ranging the many details necessary to
the organization of an event such as
is proposed to sisnalize the patriotic
enthusiasm of Washingtonians for
those who are going to the front to
battle for their country.
When the chairmen of the various
subcommittee open their mail this
morning they will find formal an
nouncement of their appointment and
requests from Chairman GUIDE to pro-
ceed at once with the big task that
is in hand.
Conference Today.
Chairman Guide has arranged to be
at the headquarters of the citizens

where he and Secretary Columbus will
have conference with Mai. Constant
Courdier, chief of staff to Mai. Gen.
Joseph c. Kuhn, U. S. A., the chief

Chairman GUIDE is calling attention
to the organization entry blank which
is reproduced herewith, and which has
been prepared for the use of heads
OF organizations in the District of
Columbia whose bodies desire to take
part in this demonstration as a unit.
Ihe suggestion has gone forward that
organization heads should Immediately
call together their executive officers
or committees and come to a definite
conclusion as to the particular part
they will take: also to arrange for
bands and whatever paraphernalia
may be desired. 1t has been sug-

Expects Flank Attack.

Expects Flank Attack.
Since their recent capture of heights
just nortn of Monte Santo, the Italians
have overcome almost unbelievable
difficulties and brought their mountain
guns to bear on the Austrian strong
hold. They must have actually blown
the Austrian positions on Monte Santo
to pieces before they made the as
sault that won them the coveted posi-
ton.
Of course, I cannot read what is
passing in the mind of Gen. Cadorna
or the general staff, but the fall of
Monte Santo opens the way for an at
tack from the south as well as the
west on the Austrian positions at
Tolmino.
OF greater Importance, however,
and move that 1 really expect will
be made, is a strong offensive from
the Bainsizza to the southeast, in
other words. a flank attack on the
Austrian lines, now to the east of
Gorilla.
The Italian army is now making
frontal attacks against these positions
and have advanced their left flank

New Republic Looks to the
United States and Japan
for Assistance.

The United States and Japan appear
as the closest friends and the staunch-
est supporters Of the new Russian re-
public
1t was learned yesterday that Ine
relations between Russia and Eng
land are daily becoming more strain
ed. Russia is becoming convinced
that England has not treated her fair
ly in a number of respects. England
is said to be desirous of getting from
under the difficult and dangerous
Russian situation.
The other allies, France, Italy, Bel
Sium. have more than they can bear
In their own campaigns
The Russian situation. IT is learned,
will be the chief subject Of confer
ence between the japanese special en-
voy, Viscount Ishii, and the Cabinet
officials next week.
The japanese Mission is prepared
to guarantee its faith in Russia by an
exhibit Of many things already done.
She has already, it was learned yes
terday. sent supplies TO Russia to the
value of more than 5OO,OO0O00 yen.
These have included everything from
heavy artillery to cloth for uniforms.
In the case of the artillery. too, Jap
anese Eunners have been sent to man
the pieces. One hundred thousand
men. the Mission reports, are now
working day and night in Japan to get
supplies to Russia alone.
One billion. four hundred million
Yen have been loaned to Russia by the
japanese. Her financial aid has even
gone to the length Of offering the IA
cilities Of the japanese mint for the
striking Of Russian coins.
The report which the japanese Mis-
sion will submit when the talk of aid
ing Russia begins further includes a
long list Of contributions from Jap
anese people OF every State to the
Russian Red Cross and other relief or
ganizations.
War Reports Encouraging.
Administration officials were heart
ily encouraged here yesterday by news
Of the stifrening of the Russian re-
sistance about Riga. The point that
is pleasing to the officials is that
these signs OF resistance indicate the
morale Of the Russian army is not
broken.
Concern is admittedly centered IN
the outcome of the Moscow confer
ence. 1t is not believed. however. that
the Secretary Of State and the Presi-
dent would have been led to send a
message committing them to the sue
cess Of the provisional government
had they not received ample assur-
ances from Ambassador Francis that
the confidence was warranted.

Drinks Not Tested.

Drinks Not Tested.
Drinking bouts apparently went on
without any decrease in number, all
though the source of the booze sup
ply could not be learned.
Even the presence of extra police,
sent there, it is said, by the head of
the police department of the city in
his evidently sincere attempt to
cleanup" any reported violations of
the law, seemed to have little effect
in checking the drinking.
The work of the police Of the
Fourth precinct last night and on
Saturday night in arresting promptly
many whites and negroes who were
drunk or disorderly was commented
on as being an efficient method of
checking possible nuisances on the
streets. 1t was pointed out, how
ever, that the police are not striking
at the source of the trouble. No ac-
ton has as yet been reported on in
the "drink' sold in the supposed
"near-beer" saloons, or as to the
character of the residents of many
houses of doubtful reputation.
Showing that liquor selling on Sun
day is a strong possibility. as early
as 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon two
soldiers, in uniform, undoubtedly un-
der the influence of strong drink, were
seen on our-and-a-Half street be-
tween G street and l. street.
The two were making a wavering
way toward the barracks on the river
front.

drive for an amendment by Congress
TO the draft law, calling to the coIors
youths Of 10 and % and those who
have reached the age of p since the
June 5 registration.
Immediate action by the House and
Senate on the resolution is asked on
tire ground that the present draft is
wholly inadequate to meet the na-

table, Lieut.. Gen. Young asserts that
out of the enrolment OF 100000 un-

cent Of the married men have not
hesitated to walk up and claim ex-
omption on that ground alone" He
estimates that out of the total reg
istration only 10000 men. less than
one-four,h, will be found qualified for
military service-mereIy enough to
supply the first draft of $500 and a
second draft of the same number,
leaving 626.oo0 a totally inadequate re-

that three men are needed behind
