took the emperor to task for his reply

"The imperial chancellor frankly

uniforms 10 any person who is not in

the army and navy are desirable by
those who can get them at low price

Every report received from Austria
indicates that that country would
willingly seek peace on any fairly rea-
sonable basis offered by the allies, IL
il were possible for her to do so, but
she is so dominated by German influ-
ence that II is hardly possible for her
10 break away. The hold of Germany
is maintained through the Austrian
army which has been very largely Ger
manized since the war began.
So 1t is believed that Austr.2 will
have to remain in her unholy partner

has lost 3,500000 men. her food stu
alton is desperate, and the future,
even II Germany could win, Is dark

must continue In the war under pain

Congress is going to pass legislation

has been indicated since the session
began Maybe some of the bills will
be called radical perhaps men will as
sert that they contain extraordinary
grants of power, and some may go
even SO far as to call them
revolutionary. but whatever may
be snld about them, so long as they are
deemed necessary by the adminSlra-
ton 10 carry on the war they will be
passed. And no matter what extra
Ordinary grants of power they nay
contain, they cannot go much further
than the Legislation of the last SEES
sion. Under statutes already enacted
the president has taken over the rail
roads, and the people have had an op.
portunity to SEQ the great powers en-

country to prosecute the war to sue

ton will not be upon party lines. There
may be Republicans who will oppose

Possibility of disagreement be-
tween the United States and Spain
because OF the refusal OF the latter
country to supply certain war mate
rails to General Pershing was remov-
ed by the signing of an economic agree
ment, under which General Pershing
will get mules. army blankets and 9th
or materials from Spain in return for
cotton. oil and other commodities from
the United States Success of these
negotiations was welcomed by officials
in Washington as ability to buy sup
plies in Spain will save ship tonnage
and enable General Pershing TO build
up his reserve stores more rapidly. The
United States was able to bring pres,

fuel TO Spanish steamers in American
ports.
