CONGRESS FACES
GREATEST TASKS

The war is over, and Congress met
today facing that fact with FULL
realization that the end OF the strug-
gle brings it face to face with re-
sponsibilitieA OF the gravest sort and
that the responsibilities Of peace are
no less great than those OF war.
Senator'S and House members ex-
pressed, on the one hand. the deep
est feeling of relief and qualification
that the fighting had ceased and
Prussian militarism had been crush
ed. and on the other hand voiced
their sense Of apprehension over the
problems of the reconstruction per
iod. They declared the nation IL

war years will call for statemanship

state is 10 be safely steeded.
Without regard to party. mem
bers of both houses today en-
phasized the urgent need for
economy and retrenchment. For
some days, prior TO the signing Of
The armistice, there was talk of this
kind. Now that the armistice Is
actually signed. the demand is
stronger than ever.
The conditions under which hEht-
ing has ended, the fact the German
srGies have. been utterly beaten in
the ned, and the further fact that
such precautions have been taken IN
the armistice as to make it a mill
tary impossibility for Germany TO
renew the war later except under ex-
tretne handicaps, along with the col
lapse of the house OF Hohenzollern.

army program are now practicable.
Consequently. while it is expected
the War Department itself will an

mood to insist on them IL the Secre-
tary OF War does not.
Opposed to Drafts.
It is certain that Congress is ut
terly opposed to drafting more men,
and it is also certain that some of the
Democratic leaders are openly declar-
ing that many OF the men now in
camps should be returned to their
homes.
v 1t is realized. OF course, that the
troops now abroad will have to be
