Washington, Aug. 1S-Summer va cations ended. many members of con- gress returned to Washington today in preparation for important legisla- ton, which is expected to keep con- Eress engrossed until the November elections or ever later.
 The three day vacation recess agree ment of the house expires tomorrow and, while the senate's arrangement runs Intil August 26. leaders hope to set it aside tomorrow and get down to work next Thursday on the man power
 bill extending the draft age limits to Is to 45 years.
 Death of Minority Leader Gallinger is expected to curtail the senate's ses- sion tomorrow with plans to adjourn ] out of respect to the veteran republi- | can member and to have congressional committees attend the funeral. If quorum of the senate attends tomor | row-a matter of some doubt tonight Chairman Chamberlain of the mili- l tary committee is expected to. renew | his request for annulment of the Va | cation agreement and ask the senate l to begin consideration next Thursday of the man-power measure. Delay ln setting aside the vacation agreement | would postpone the action on the man power legislation until the following l Monday at least. With the national
 war prohibition measure having the right of way in the senate at that
 time under an agreement previously
 made, the man power measure could
 be considered only during each day
 unless as is not improbable if pro- hibition advocates should consent to
 temporarily sidetrack their measure until the man power bill Is passed [ Chairman Chamberlain is hopeful thai l despite uncertainties of the situation
 the bill may be passed late this weet \ or early next week.
 The man power measure will be talk , en up tomorrow by the house military
 committee with Secretary Baker, Gen } eral March chief of staff, and Provos r Marshal General Crowder scheduled t = appear.

LANSING SENDS MESSAGE.


 WASHINGTON, Nov. ,. - Marshal Foch has been authorized by the United States and the allies to re- ceive representatives of the German government and to communicate to them the terms of an armistice. The German government is so in formed in a note handed to the Swiss minister here today by Secretary Lansing.
 The text of, Secretary Lansing's note follows:
 T have the honor to request you to transmit the following communication to the German government:
 Tn my note of October 23, 1918, advised you that the president had transmitted his correspondence with the German authorities to the govern Aents with which the government of the United States is associated as belligerent, with the suggestion that if those governments were disposed to accept peace upon the terms and principles indicated, their military ad- yisers and the military advisers of the United States be asked to submit to the governments associated against Germany the necessary terms of such an armistice as would fully protect the interests of the peoples involved and insure to the associated govern ments the unrestricted power to safe guard and enforce the details of the peace to which the government had agreed, provided they deem such an armistice possible from the military point of view.
 The president is now in receipt of a memorandum of observations by the allied governments on this cor respondence, which is as follows:
 "'The allied governments have given careful consideration to the correspondence which has passed be- tween the president of the United States and the German government. Subject to the qualifications which follow they declare their willingness to make peace with the government of Germany on the terms of peace laid down in the presidents address to congress of January 8, 1918. and the principles of settlement enunciated in this subsequent address. They must point out. however that Clause 2, re- lating to what is usually described as the freedom of the seas, is open to various interpretations, some of which

HUN MUST SEE
 FOCH FOR TERMS

Continued from rage Ons) that the German high command has been desperately anxious to avoid ad- mission of the complete defeat of the German arms, hoping instead to make it appear when the inevitable collapse came that the army was still in being, formidable and able to fight on in definitely, and that it ceased the struggle, not at the demand of it's en- emies on the front, but solely because of orders to do so from the civil gov ernment now at least nominaliy in control.
 For this reason the American and allied leaders determined that to con- vince the German people themselves that their idolized and feared military machine had been crushed, the mill tary leaders must be forced to capitu- late on the field oT battle.
 The important reservation by the allies as to the freedom of the seas is said here to be due largely to de sire to avoid a later protest of decep- tion.
 Alsace Lorraine is not mentioned in the allied memorandum. The en- tente governments know, however, and it is assumed that the Germans understand, that by ''righting the wrong" done to France, President Wilson meant in the term accepted by Germany, the return of the lest provinces to France.

 mayor declares the organizations have accepted and discharged their trust in the building of morale in a manner which has commended admiration of the world. He declares that it is a privilege to give to a cause so worthy, and finally he appeals to pastors to read the proclamation from their pull pits, to teachers to acquaint the chil- dren with the drive and engender in them enthusiasm, and to presiding O. ficers at other public assemblages to lend their assistance in every way pos sible.
 The proclamation follows:
 Tt has come about that the people of the United States find themselves compelled to take arms against the foe that threatens the liberties of the peo- pies of the world; the lives of women and children, particularly, and of all free men, To help establish a free dom from this oppression that the world demands, it is necessary that millions of the best young manhood and young womanhood of America must go overseas and separate them selves from their accustomed voca- tions and domestic influences. This naturally means a mental and spirit ual hunger for those ties of family so-

ciety and church that are dear to the hearts and close to the deepest feel ings of every American. To supply this void in the lives of our millions of soldiers, the United States govern ment has authorized these seven or ganizations to look after the welfare of the men in the service:
 Young Mems Christian associa- tion.
 Young -Women's Christian associa- tion.
 National Catholic War Council. - Knights of Columbus
 Jewish Welfare Board.
 War Camp Community Service.
 American Library association.
 Salvation Army.
 These seven organizations have ac- cepted and discharged this trust in a manner that has commanded the ad- miration of the world, and the eternal gratitude of every man under the ser vice of the flag.
 And, whereas, the privilege of giv- ing moral and financial support to this wonderful work, so clearly interwoven with the lives of the men in service, has been given not to an institutional government, but to every individual man, woman and child in the United States.
 Now, therefore, I, Jacob Erickson, mayor of the city of Bisbee, do hereby proclaim to the citizens of the city of Bisbee that, during the week begin ming Sunday, November the tenth. 1918, they bestow attention, lend eff
