Of Before.

WAsiINGToS, Oct. 6.-The curtain
was rung down this afternoon on the
most remarka bile session of any legisla-
tive body ever held in the history OF
the world. The first great war Congress

gagged in a scathing denunciation OF the
fiscal policies advocated by Senator La

The House not content to wal; until
o'clock to shake itself free of the
heavy legislative burdens which have
occupied the minds OF Its leaders for
months past, took n recess at nine min
utes to three to last until two minutes
before the time set for adjournment.
In the midst OF the usual commotion
some one on the floor started to sing
my Country Ills Of Thee Every man
on the floor and every one in the gal
leries rose. Two verses Of the anthem
were thundered out. when Champ Clark,
Speaker OF the House. started to climb
the steps to the rostrum. Immediately
the call for speech" went up,
Champ answered the clamor in a char
acteristic manner. Pulling out his watch
he said, There are two clocks in this
House, and both Of them are wrong"
and a roar OF laughter went up from the
floor.
Just before the close OF the session.
President Wilson In his rooms In the
Senate wing OF tho Capitol. signed the
soldiers and sailors insurance bill. which

His sons, or at least one of his sons,

him in the position of captain The
other son was reported to be in search
of military position also. but some
mistake was made in saying that be
had been unfavorably received at

letter about it. and closes the letter
as follows: Il will hold any man per

ton against my son. or any member
Of my family"

and game enough to enter the army

THE BLACK FLAG OF PIRACY

OF all the deeds of cold blooded
atrocity of which Germany has been
guilty in this war, is there one that
surpasses in calculated fiendishness
the deliberate drowning of the crew
of the steamship Belgian Prince
What happened after the ship had
been torpedoed, and the crew of forty
four men had taken to the lifeboats is
briefly related in the Official report of
the state department.
THE officers of the submarine ask
ed whether there were any gunners
left on board and ordered the crew
of the Belgian Prince on the subma-
rine. The men of the submarine
searched them for weapons. threw
away the oars of the lifeboats and Or
dered the crew to remove their life

day to day the president is solemnIy
exhorted to announce his peace terms
to a government that wages war in
this fashion upon unarmed men who
are helpless and in its power.
Societies are organized to protest
against the infiiction of any penalties
whatever upon such a government.
Workingmen are urged to use their
influence to bring about an immediate
peace, whatever the conditions may
be. Honest Americans, Frenchmen,

Before the outbreak OF the present
war. F. Won Bernhard. in his book
entitled. Germany and the Next
War said: In one way or another
we must square our account with
France if we wish for a free hand in
our international policy. This is the
first and foremost condition of
sound German policy. and since the
hostility OF France once for all can
not be removed by peaceful over
lures. the matter must be settled by
force Of arms. France must be 50
completely crushed that she can new
er again cross our path" And had il
not been for the brave resistance Of
poor little Belgium Won Bernhardrs
advice would have been realized.
France would have been crushed.
