Chairman Flood OF the house com

postponement until Friday appeared
probable, and in such an event it wa'
not believed that the senate could &C

"Whereas, The imperial and royal
AuStro- Hungarian government has
shown its hostility to the govern
ment and the people OF the United
States by severing diplomatic rola-
tionS and has formally adhered 70
the ruthless policy Of submarine
warfare adopted by its ally, the i'm

which the United States is at war
and has given,to its ally every sup

Rumania Gives Back
Loan OF Five Million

WASHINGTON, Dec. S-yhe Rus
sian, ambassador has returned to the
treasury the 100000 given to him for
advance to Rumania. Il was explained
at the Russian embassy today that IL
was impossible to have the money
changed into rubles by the Russian
State bank at Petrosrad. The original
plan was TO have the Russian ambsssa-
dor here receive the funds In dollars
and then to issue an order on the Pc
ttograd state bank TO transfer to the
Rumanian account the value In rublc,.
Today's report Of the Russo German
armistice extending to Rurnsnian
troops probably will defer disposition
OF the money.
