LITTLE PROGRESS
 ON REVENUE BILL
SENATE FORCED INTO NIGHT SEES SION BY FILIBUSTERiNG OF
 REPUBLICANS.

Washington, Feb 23.--Forced into another night session by filibustering of republicans, the senate made little progress today on the administration revenue bill. After the defeat of an amendment by Senator Watson of In diana to make the excess profits tax expire December 3l, 1919, instead of July 1, 1921, republican senators be gan their fight, Senators Penrose ISerman. Page, Curtis, Kenyon and Gronna speaking for hours on perfume tory amendments.
 Late in the day Chairman Simmons of the finance committee accepted an amendment by Senator Norris author izing the secretary of the treasury to issue the bonds provided for in the bill in serial form, part to be retired each year and all to be retired in 9 years displacing the original provision that the bonds run for 90 years. Although the amendment would increase inter est rates by one-quarter per cent on bonds issued serially, Senator Norris contended the government would save many millions in interest by taking the securities up gradually instead of allowing them all to run for half a century.
 Senator Lewis of Illinois proposed an amepdment to authorize the gov ernment to seize food and other neees. sites of life which the courts might declare were held in violation of trust laws to enhance their price, paying q fair market price for goods so taken and disposing of them at public sale for the benefit of the public. There was no action on the proposal.
 Filibustering continued until II o'clock tonight, when both sides agreed upon recess until tomorrow No democrats addressed the senate unless asking d question, the debate being Carried on by republicans, among them Senators Sterling, Gron- ma, Sherman and Weeks.
 For several hours the Underwood amendment 10 reduce the tax on oleo margarine was discussed and then the tond issue was used as the vehicle for consuming time No vote was taken but Senators La Toilette and Tasting of Wisconsin informally boiled the senate on the oleomargarine amend ment anl announced that they felt con fident it would be defeated.
 Some of the republicans said to- night that the revenue bill might be allowed to pass some time next week but that the public may be very sure that there will be an extra session of congress"

Washington, Feb. 23.---A special rule expected to insure vote in the house at this session of the District of Col umbia prohibition bill was agreed to late today by the house rules commit tee. The measure already has passed the senate.
 Prohibition aGgocates hailed the committees action as another impor. tant victory, for they believe the bill certain of passage once it is brought 10 vote. For more than month t has been before the house District of Columbia committee without action and recent developments there had given the prohibition sympathizers lit tie hope of a report in time for action by March 1.
 The rules committee stood seven to fcur for the rule which if adopted by the house, would take the bill out of the hands of the District committee and set date for roll call on its passage That method of bringing measure before the house has not been resorted 70 in years, and it was said tonight that the District committee might decide to avoid it by immediate ly reporting the prohibition measure,
 The rule would make in order all proposed amendments, including one pending for a referendum vote by res- idents of the District. Efforts to attacn referendum amendment in the sen ate failed an, ? Ae vote.
 It was not dec7Sed when the rule would be reported < It was adopted primarily, committeeman said, to force action by the District committee, which previously has announced if would not report the Asas1rs - Tuesday.

THE WAR IN BRIEF

Declaring that the success of the entente cause rested on the .bility to solve the tonnage problem, Premier David Lloyd-George, in the house of commons Friday, announced measures 10 be taken to achieve that end. The hunting down of German submarines by the navy, the building of merchant ships and the cutting off of non-essen- tial importations he held to be the most important measures.
 Everything, the British premier de- clared, must be sacrificed to the con servation of shipping, which has been depleted greatly because of German activities, and the letting of ships to Great Britain's allies. He announced plans increasing the food production at home.
 The premier said the government would take means to increase ship building and made public long list or articles the importation of which would be prohibited. Coffee, cocoa, tea raw fruits, except lemons and oranges, vegetables, hides, leather boots and shoes of leather ta ines and agricultural machinery are among the articles on the prohibited list. lm- portations of paper. idon ore and lum- Der will be reduced greatly.
 German submarines continue 10 sink ships The total tonnage sunk as re ported Friday was 25,456. This in cludps the French steamer Athos, of 12.000 tons, which was sunk in the Mediterranean while carving troops to France and under guard of war ships.
 One American. Robert Haden, a missionary in China, lost his life in the torpedoing of the AAthaf, from which 1.4I0 persons were saved. All the 13 vessels reported sunk were ot legistry, except one Norwegian and several of unestablished identity.
 There has been no activity of impor- tance on the battlefields of Europe, On ,he Somme and Anere sectors addi- tional small gains of ground by Brit ish troops are recorded by London. The rcpulse of German raids near Armentieres also IS reported. Artillery ombardments continue as usual.
