There was no politics In the crlti-
cism of the agricultural survey or ex'
tension bin. Senators on both sides
of the political aisle said some very
cuustic things in regard to the APP
preparations. In the course Of these
criticisms Senator Kenyon, Republican,
Of Iowa. remarked at Is a crime
for congress not to take some action
looking to intelligent cooperation for
Intelligent expanding and auditing OF
money Of the people. Let us look Mt
few other financial iokers In this
bill" And then he went on TO show
some Of the expenditures which he
claimed were absolutely without justi-
hcaton.
senator Johnson of South Dakota,
Democrat, said: 81 think this Is the
most extluyagant, the worst, and the
most ridiculous appropriation bill |
have ever seen since have been a
member Of the senate"
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO, quite frequently criticized the
bill while Senator sherman Repub-
lican of Illinois, several times vlgOr-
ously attacked its provisions. On one
occasion Senator Thomas discussed
an appropriation Of S120.GOO to stimu-
late the production of poultry. "Poul-
try is so high" asserted Thomas,
that It is very hard for the traditional
darky to reach the tail Of rooster,

The patriotism that has been
shown in the matter Of saving
food and coal and other war necessl-
ties upon demand. and particularly the
recent demonstration when a simple
request from the fuel administration
resulted I'm practically complete cesSa-
tion In the use Of gasoline on sun
days, has encouraged authorities at
the national capital to believe that the
same patriotism I'm the matter of self
denial and desire % win tine war will
finally reach every branch of labor.
There is no denying that the govern
ment has felt great deal Of uncasi-
ness about the labor situation ever
since this country entered The war. For
the most part il has kncwn that men
on the farm In the ships and nearly
everywhere are working earnestly and
lndustriously IN the matter of produc-
Ing ships and supplies for our overseas
army. But there have been many
strikes. many days ana hours lost.
There has been an estimate that some
thing like half n million good working
days have been lost by strikes. During
all this time every effort has been

been dissatisfied and the hope Is eX-
pressed that there will be no need TO

Former Governor Durbin Of Indiana
came 10 Washington and put a spoke
IN the Roosevelt presidential wheel
which was revolving very rapidly up
10 that time. Durbin had conference
with a number Of Republican senators
and representatives and he told them
very frankly That Roosevelt would not
do. II Is supposed that he talked TO
men who sympathized with his views.
Durbin suggested that either Senator
Weeks Of Massachusetts or Governor
Lowden Of Illinois would make an ac-
ceptable candidate and thought they
would poll the full Republican
strength Speaking of Roosevelt, he
said. "If Roosevelt should run against
President Wilson he would be the
worst beaten man that ever was a
candidate for the presidency" or
course Durbin would modify that
somewhat, but II Is supposed that he
meant since the Republican party was
organized. He probably fahed to recol-
lect that in 1912 Taft received only
eight electoral votes. II is yet a little
too early to have presidential booms
get we'll under way.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Russian ambassador to the United States and the consuls now representing that country here, characterized as hold overs" from the Kerensky regime, will not be recognized by the Russian CO., lonial congress, now in session here for the first time, and the delegates to the council will have no dealings with them. This action was decided upon tonight
 Another resolution adopted almost unanimously, declared that when the United States recognizes the BolsheviIx government. the colonial congress will ask the Russian government to turn ever to the executive council of the congress, elected today with seven anarchists among the nineteen mem oers, all the money and properly of the embassy and consulates. These funds will be divided among the soviets. or local councils, as they are organized in the United States.
 The congress also filled a bitter pro- test against the selective service law. demanding the release from the army Of young Russians who hold only their flrst citizenship papers. Release of Russians arrested for failing to register is another of the demands. The exec utiye council was empowered to em- ploy counsel in behalf of these pris- OnerS.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
lRepub,lcan A. p. Leased Wirel

From the meagre accounts of the economic situation in Germany reach ing neutral countriea-and they are meagre to a degree-the general strike that prevailed throughout the empire last week has virtually ended. Appar- ently the hard hand of the military authorities had much to do with the breaking up of the movement on the part of the workers, whose full energies are required by the government at the present moment to aid in the prosecu- tion of the war. for even their leaders are reported to have advised the men to return to their work.
 The proclamation of martial law in Berlin and throughout Brandenburg by the military commander evidently had it's full effect, for, with the threat of summary court martial and execution staring them in the face the strikers carried out no disorders in Berlin Sat urday like those earlier in the week.
 Industrial quietude now seems to pervade the entire country except at Jena. capital of the Duchy of Saxe- Weimar, where new trouble has arisen. 1t is not improbable that the strike here has been engendered by sympa- thetic feeling on the part of numerous students.
 That under the surface the political waters in Germany and Austria Hun gary are still disturbed is indicated by the Announcement that the German and Austro- Hungarian foreign ministers and General von Ludendorff, chief of the German war lords next to von Hin denburg, are to meet in close confer ence in an endeavor to bring about an amelioration of the tense economic and political questions affecting Germany and the dual monarchy and doubtless lay plans to combat the peace views and desires of large parts of the popu- lation in the two countries
 Apparently with the Germans it was case of the bitter having been bit in their attack on the American sector in Lorraine Saturday. Although the. at tack was a sudden one and the Ger mans placed a heavy barrage along the American line of several kilometers, the Americans responded With avidity and with their T5s tore up the German front trenches, blew up several of their dugouts and cut their barbed wire en- tanglements, causing damage which it will require several days to repair.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Far reach ing priority regulations were put into effect tonight by the war industries board to expedite the production of war supplies.
 They apply to all individuals, firms, associations and corporations engaged in the production of copper, iron and steel, and in the manufacture of their products; chemicals, cotton duck and Woolen cloth and all such other raw materials and manufactured products as may be deemed necessary later.
 Priority in the production of coal and coke, or food and feeds, is not administered by the priorities commit tee of the war industries board, but committees under the fuel or food ad- ministrations. The committee. how ever, will consider applications for pri- ority assistance to procure tools, equip ment or supplies for the production of these commodities.
 Hereafter all work is divided into four general classes, instead of three, as heretofore. Class A, which must take precedence in all plants over ev- e1ything else, will comprise oaly emer- gency war work of a special or urgent nature Class A, comprises all other war work. such as arms, ammunition, deStroyers, Suom@rlneS, airplanes, To- cOmOttvcs, etc. and lhe materials or commodities rehuired in their produc- tiOn.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. IA tele- gram from Miss Jane A. Delano, direc- tor of the Nursing Bureau service at Washington, received tonight by Miss Lillian l.. White, in charge of the Pa cific division, urged the immediate ned of more nurses for work at army cantonments in this country. Base hospital units had been broken up temporarily into groups, it was said to aid in caring for this emergency.
 Two thousand nurses have been sent abroad and two thousand more are waiting mobilization for foreign service" Miss White said. But our total must be increased to 40, 900 if the war continues any great length of time and we must try sto meet this military need without demoralizing our organ ization for civilian work"

HEATLESS MONDAY
 IN CHICAGO SETS
 YEARS COLD MARK
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Chicago's third heatless Monday, also the coldest day of the year, saw the city in the grip of the worst fuel famine in it's history.
 Suffering was widespread, hundreds of persons besieging the officers of the fuel administration for the pink coal slips which proved valueless when presented at many yards which were closed because of lack of fuel.
 With the thermometer suddenly down to ten below zero, many who could afford it closed their homes and went to hotels. In other cases relatives are living together, and in extreme cases neighbors have all gathered into one flat.
 All through the day men, women and children in long lines faced the north wind before the coal yards begging the chance to buy even the poorest of coal No coke was avail able and lumber dealers refused to sell wood for fuel. Meanwhile hun dreds of carloads of coal were on their way from the mines but de- | layed by blizzards and traffic con- ditions, could not reach the city in time to meet the sudden drop in temperature.
