CONGRESS FACES
GIGANTIC TASK
AS TIME FLIES
Espionage and Anticonspiracy
Bill Up in Senate For Final
Passage
REVENUEAND NAVAL NEXT
House Pushing Danish Islands
Bill and Army Measures
Through

Washington, Feb. 19.-Congress to-
day started its next to the last week
of the session with the general legls-
lative situation somewhat as follows:
In the Senate the espionage and
hnticonspiracy bill was up for final
action. Next the revenue bill and ma
val bill, carrying $3.50, 100000 will be
pushed. Most of the legislative con-
gestion exists In the Senate.
In the House the Danish West In
dies bill was up for passage to-day,
and the army bill, carrying $247,-
100000 probably will be passed to-
morrow and sent to the Senate. Other
measures which are to be pressed in
the House Immediately. according to
present plans, are the sundry civil and
general deficiency appropriation bills
and the military academy bill. The
Post Office appropriation bill with its
Senate "bone dry" prohibition amend
ment may be called up Tuesday.
What national emergency legisla-
ton is to be passed during the re-
manning two weeks rests largely with
President Wilson and the development
of the German submarine situation
but considerable effort will be made
to get action on the bill to empower
the government to control merchant
shipping in case OF war, Some doubt
seems to exist among congressional
leaders whether railroad labor legis-
]ation, the rivers and harbors bill and
other general measures can be passed
before adjournment,
The House Rules Committee met to-
day to draft it's report on the leak"
investigation, which probably will be
presented late this week.

FREIGHTER SINKS
U-BOAT IN FIGHT
Shell From Big Gun on French
Ship Sends Submarine
to Bottom

New York, Feb. 19. - In a forty
minute battle between a German u
boat and the French Line steamship
uary 22 the submarine was sunk, ac-
cording to officers of the freighter
which arrived here to-day from Bor-
deauX.
The Guyane was one day out from
port. At $50 p. m. Captain Rousselot
said, the U-boat was sighted some dis
tance to port and apparently endeav-
oring to cross the freighters bow in
order to stop her. The submarine
fired a shot which fell short and the
Guyane then turned sharply to star
board so that her big 65-millimetre
gun mounted at the stern could be
trained on the approaching vessel.
The submarine fired second shot
which fell considerably short, and a
third shot which struck the water
close by the freighter
Meanwhile the Guyane's gunner had
sent one shell which failed to bit but
struck very near it's mark. A second
shot from the Guyane, Captain Rous-
selot said, hit the U-boat squarely and
the underwater boat was seen to col
lapse.
During the next thirty minutes the
German craft appeared to be strug-
Cling for existence. No one appeared
on the deck and no further attempt
to shell the freighter was made, and
the Guyane refrained from firing any
more shots. At the end of the half
hour the submarine disappeared. The
freighter's officers said they had no
doubt but that the U-boat was lost.
The Guyane, steel vessel of 2,O6S
tons net carried 81 men. There were
no Americans aboard She brought
general cargo of about 1000 tons.

So large was the crowd of Lu-

MANY AMERICAN
SHIPS in DANGER
Five Leave New York on Voy-
ages Which Will Take Them
Through Danger Zone
By Associated Press


New York, Feb. 19.-Five American
ships from this port are now on the
high seas exposed to the dangers OF
German submarine warfare and sew
eral others are ready for Immediate
departure. Three of these vessels. the
Orleans and the Rochester for 3or-
deaux and the Owego for Genoa, are
now approaching the blockade line IN
the Bay of Biscay and the Mediter-
ranean.
The City of Pueblo, a freighter of
2,624 tons, owned by the Parrey
Steamship Company, got away yester-
day for Havre. Her captain and 1S
other officers are Americans. The
crew are to receive IL war bonus of
so per cent. of their pay at the end
of the voyage.
Among the American ships ready to
sail to-day are the Algonquin, a
freighter, and the Mongolia, which is
equipped to carry passengers.
In addition to the City of Pueblo.
twelve steamships sailed from New
York yesterday, presumably by routes
that will carry them through the zone
of blockade. Three vessels, one of
them an American. arrived after pas
sage through the restricted area.
Much Food Condemned
The Health Department reports
show that 100000 pounds of food
brought to this port Dy ships during
the last twenty weeks have been con-
demned and destroyed as unfit for
consumption. The value is estimated
at $1,00O,000.
Lucius p. Brown, head of the food
and drugs division of the Health De-
partment, says that part of the con-
demnation was due to war conditions,
inolndin& 6alnVG in nrriUD1 and the
loading of perishable cargoes in ships
not designed for such purposes.
Dealers here, said Mr.. Brown, are
learning to sort over partly spoiled
cargoes, saving some portions which
formerly were destroyed under con-
demnation.
The food condemned, however, is
only a very small part of the total
received here. Health Commission
Emerson estimates the seizures about
one-fifth of one per cent. of the ar
rivals.

Emperor's Own Horses
Hauling Coal For Poor

Vienna, Feb. 19.-Emperor Charles
has placed at the disposal of the people
for the distribution of fuel his entire
stable equipment in order that the coal
which has accumulated at the depots
may be distributed to the needy. He
also has issued orders to the army to
assist with rolling stock and men. His
order brought to light the fact that he
is displeased with the incompetence of
certain officials, and now keeps in con-
tact with the food and fuel problems,
doing this by telephone from the pal
ace or chief headquarters and making
personal inspection when necessary.
The cold continues, although no
more snow has fallen, and the sun is
warm enough at noon to encourage
the poor to leave their shelter and
warm themselves in its rays.

DEFENSE
BOARD TO ACT

The alleged distribution Of Social
istic literature by the Young Peoples
Socialist league, which was in conven-
ton here Monday, will be fully investi-
gated by a secret organization of the
County Council of Defense.
The literature it is said, attacks the
war policy Of the United States gov
ernment, and copies are said to have
been given out by the seventy-five
delegates to the convention, which
met in Vaughan hall.
Members Of the Socialist party in
Richmond attended the session of the
convention.
Walter Butler, chairman Of the
County Council of Defense, said Tues
day that the secret organization may
take any action it sees fit.
He condemned the league for prais-
ing the Peoples Council for Democ-
racy and Peace, which was barred
from three states and finally allowed
to meet in Chicago.
While Richmond was paying due
tribute to her soldiers the league was
attacking the government.

specting the Italian front for the pur-
pose of reorganizing his troops, de-

Meanwhile, the Italians continue
their steady advance and are spread
ing over a larger tract Of the country.
especially through the Brestovizza val
ley and over the Bansizza plateau, cap
turing trench after trench and in some
cases finding squads of Austrian
troops, literally exhausted and suffer
means of communication having been
cut off by the we'll directed Italian
fire.
Monte San Gabrielle still is making
desperate efforts at resistance, but
Italian pickets are gradually creeping
up the slopes, making its fall only a
matter of time when, as officers laugh
ingly say here, .'The Austrians execute
another strategical retreat"
Army officers and others who have
read the Austrian war bulletins are
much amused over the statements
that the Italians are fleeing, when, as
a matter Of fact, the Austrians con-
stantly are losing territory. Since the
beginning Of the present advance, the
Italians have gained ground every day,
while all Austrian efforts to recap
ture lost positions have been shatter-
ed by the energetic resistance of Ca
dorna's army.

Members of the council and board of

however, that the increased taxation
which will soon be made by the fed
