UNUSUAL EVENTS
EXPECTED TODAY
At THE CAPITOL.
Congressional Leaders Do Not
Know Just What is Likely to
Occur-Lively Sessions Are
Coming.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Congress ex-
poets to hear from President Wilson
tomorrow something of his plans for
the peace conference.
On the eve of his departure for
France, the president will go to the
capitol shortly before / O'Clock to
deliver his annual address at the
opening of the third and final session
of the siXty-fifth congress.
Few utterances of the chief execu-
tive have been awaited with keener
interest and congressional officers
said tonight that never before has
there been such demand for admis-
sion cards to the House galleries for
joint session.
Some congressional leaders say the
appearance of the president may Gre
ate something of a sensation and that
then again nothing may happen. They
are certain, however, that soon after
the president speaks there will be
spirited discussion in both Senate and
House of his plans for the trip, if
they are revealed, and of any pro-
posed action on problems coming be-
fore the peace conference.
General and virtually daily debate
in the Senate also is expected while
the peace delegates are sitting in
Paris.
Many members of both Senate and
House privately criticise the presi-
dent for his decision to go TO France
and also for his failure to include a
member of the Senate in the Ameri-
can delegation, but none of them will
speak for publication. Nor have those
members of the House who have been
reported to be prepared to question
the president tomorrow regarding the
peace conference made any announce
ment.
Some senators also are said to have
prepared resolutions for introduction
tomorrow proposing the appointment
of a special senate committee to go to
Europe and keep the senate informed
on events at the peace conference. A
special meeting of the Democratic
steering committee has been called
for tomorrow before the senate con-
venes to discuss the general situation.
Besides dealing with the peace con-
ference, the president tomorrow is ex-
pected to recommend legislation he
regards as necessary for the transi
tion of the country from a war to a
peace basis.
Few formalities for the opening
day of the new session are planned.

GERMANS TAKING
LARGE AMOUNTS
OF STATE FUNDS
Terrible MistOrtunes" Are Pre-
dicted Unless Firm Grip is
Taken - Choose Delegates
Loosely.

Amsterdam, Dee. THE German
revolutionary government, according
to estimotes made by the Berlin cor
respondent of the Cologne Volks lei
tung, has spent $700,O00,OOO marks in
the last three weeks.
The newspaper declares that a
storm of vehemence has burst against
corruption in Berlin which "it is hoped
will sweep away the dishonest rab-
ble"
The newspaper continues:
"Unless resolute resistance is Of
fered the country win be precipitated
into terrible misfortune. All that can
now be done for the healthy regions is
for them to take affairs into their own
hands. On the Rhine and on the Dan
ube there exists a strong resolve to
do this"
The Prescott daily news., 1918-12-02

Berlin, Dee. In the opinion of
the majority socialists, and the bur
geois, according to Die Freiheit, the
date February 16, fixed by the council
of peoples commissioners for holding
an election to the constituent assem-
bly,, is too early. 1t is maintained that
more time is needed to put into effect
a pure socialistic policy.
The independent socialists have
stated that the threatened separation
of the Rhine province and Bavaria
makes in imperative that an early
election be held. The bourgeois and
socialistic press agree that the SOL
diers' and workmen's congress which
meets December Is, will accept the
election date.
Delegates TO the congress will be
chosen in haphazard fashion. The Ber-
lin executive committee of the SOL
diers' and workmen's council which
called the congress, is said in some
] quarters to have little authority out
side Berlin.
The committee, it is declared is not
able to put into effect regulations
which would be universally observed
regarding the manner of choosing
delegates. Anybody at any place call
ing himself a soldiers and workmen's
council will be able 30 send delegates.
The control of credentials will be diff
ficult and this has led to fears in Ger
tain sections that the congress will be
packed.
Even optimists are discouraged by
the apathetic attitude of the bourgeois
and the untiring activity of the Spar
tacus group, or radicals.

sixteenth century it was recognized as

French revolution. The city and the
territory surrounding it were assigned
to Prussia by the congress of Vienna.
The population at the outbreak of the
war was about sixty thousand.
