Washington, July 3.-The resolution authorizing the President to take over telegraph and telephone lines, the $12,OOO, 100000 army appropriation bill, the proposal to increase the gov ernment guaranteed price of wheat to S2.5O bushel, and war time prohi- bition stood today in the way of the proposed recess of Congress this week. Leaders in both the Senate and the House were not hopeful that this leg islation could be disposed of in time to recess on Saturday until August 10, while the ne revenue bill is drafted by the House Commmitee on Ways and Means. The opinion of Speaker Clark was that recess plans had "gone glimmering'
 Some members, however, had not given up hope today of being able to leave Washington this week. Tenta. tive plans were proposed to hurry the passage of the Army bill, which is now in conference, due largely to nuner- ous amendments added by the Senate, and to have the telegraph and tele- phone control resolution go over until August.

London. July 2.--The FinnishGer- man push along the Pasvill river in the Murmansk region of northern Russia must be considered in connec- ton with events in Russia which gradually are developing in anti-BOl- shevik directions, says the corre- spondent of the Times in Christiania.
 There is reason to believe, he adds, that Entent traffic III Archangel, which has been suspended for the last 12 months, will soon be resumed The Germans, therefore, are eager to cut communications with southern Russia and force an issue as regards their demand for an ice free port on the Arctic coast The correspondent adds:
 The same events which compelled the Germans to send troops north ward will presently make it even more important for the Allies to oc- cupy these regions. Questions of vii tai interest to both parties also must be decided"

LONDON PRESS IS AMAZED AT FORCE
 OF U. s, ABROAD

London, July 3.---Secretary of War Bakers letter to President Wilson, saying that more than 100000 Amer jean soldiers had left the United States for France, was published in the early editions of the London af- ternoon papers under large headlines. The statement was featured in con- nection with the success of the Amer jean troops in capturing the town of Vaux, on the Marne front.
 The figures came as a great sur prise, for although it was known that many Americans were arriving in British ports weekly, few realized that the million mark had been ex- ceeded.
 Amazing Atlantic Record" and "United States Probram Six Months Ahead" are among the headings stretched across the pages usually given to the most important war news.

i President Wilson, in making public
 letter from Secretary Baker, made
 known the fact that 1.O19. .115 Ameri-
 can troops had left for overseas ser 1 iivce on July 1, a record that in the
 words of the president Twill give ad- ditionaI zest to our national celebra-
 tion of the Fourth of July"
 In spite of the submarine activity
 troop movements have increased
 steadily from 1,197 in May, 1917, when | the vanguard of the American army 1 left for France, until last month. when 276, SIP men were sent overseas. The total, substantially enough for 30
 divisions, have reached France with a total loss at sea because of sub
 marines of only 291 men, record that 1 army officials declare has never been paralleled in history.
 | Casualties to date, including those l lost at sea, and those that have been returned, are placed at S,165 men by Secretary Baker, leaving more than 100000 men to face the Germans in their threatened crucial offensive op-
 eration of the war.
 !, Not alone in transportation of man power, Secretary Baker in his letter to the president points out is the achievement noteworthy and a cause for satisfaction on the nations birth day. but adequate supplies and equip ment have gone to France to supply
 the million men.
 1 Back of the million men in France, according to recent statements by Provost Marshal General Crowder. stand another million now in training, and according to the same authority still another million will have entered
 military service by the end of this month. Of the total troops in France,
