Norris Declares Prosrssslves VIII Flight

Norris Declares Proaresslves VIII Fight.
Washington. Nov. 30.--"We'll fight"
This was the answer Of Senator Nor
ris to the report that senate progress
ives would compromise on their pro-
posal to amend the senate rules In ex-
change for desirable committee assign
ments.
mo compromise is acceptable" Nor
ris said.
Similar statements were made by
Senators Johnson. Of California; Ken
yon, OF Iowa. and Borah, Of Idaho. who
form the bulwark of the progressive
strength in the upper house.
II Is ms yet too early to predict the
outcome OF the rules fight. which prom
ises to be as spectacular as the fight on
"Cannonism'' led by Norris in the house.
Referring the Norris seniority resolu-
tlon to the rules committee has not had
the desired effect.
IF there Ia no indication that the
committee will report II out I shall de-
mand hearings on the resolution" Nor
ris said.
The prospect today was that the rules
committee would report the resolution
out in amended form soon after the
new session gets under way.

(By Gerald CampDell.)
U>ondon Tmes-Phil. Ledger Cop. Cable.)
Strassburg, Nov. 26.-(Delayed.)--
The entry of the French troops into
Strassburg was marked by inspiring
scenes and incidents.
Marshal Petain, commander Of the
French troops, wore n long cavalry
cloak, which hid all his decorations; |;
not only, I should say, because 1t was
cold. but because that Is his way.
Facing Marshal Petain stood Gen.
Gouraud, solitary figure, erect and
soldier like--also saint -like-his right
sleeve hanging empty and his left
arm carrying his sword. Gen. Gou-
raud had just returned from his
mothers deathbed, but he stood like
n rock from the beginning to the end
of the march. 1t was his own army.
In his mind and also in Marshal Pc
tain's, in spite of their quiet faces
and steady eyes, from which tears
certainly were not far away. there
was seen a great affection for the
war-worn men who swung quickly
past. There were infantry. zouaves,
tiralleurs. territorials, hussars, dra-
goons, artillery and engineers, with
colors flying. bayonets flashing and
drums beating, and one African regi--
ment. whose band consisted solely OF
wildwood instruments.
1t was no empty parade. no vain
glorious triumph. There was not
much cheering. When the last man
was gone and the last gun had rolled
past, Gen. Gouraud walked quickly
across. saluted Marshal Petain. was
embraced and then shook hands with
the other generals. A few handker-
chiefs were waved and few voices
cried, "Vive Gouraud!" but 1t was
not q moment suitable for a noisy
demonstration.
The times France and her allies
are passing through are solemn ana
mournful. as well as glad and proud.
Most of all is 1t so when the invisi-

Crowds who had gathered to wit

The canoe is an invention Of our

contrivance many large rivers In
