HOUSE AND SENATE
BREAK SPEEDLIMIT
TO INSURE RECESS

Hoping to hurry to passage a mass Of
important measures, and then take re-
cess OF about a month while the new rev.
enue bill Is being whipped into shape,
both houses Of Congress set out today TO
break the speed limit
HankerinE for a chance to get away
from Washington for at least few
weeks, House members and Senators
propose to push supply bills through with
little ceremony and to dispose of other
n Important things either by passage or
by shunting them over until after the
House members who have fights on
hand for denomination or reelection or
both showed special anxiety to get a
quick recess. They talked about wind
. ing up the legislative business Tuesday
night or Wednesday, but Senators were
more deliberate and the recess may not
start until the end Of the week
Big Bills to Be Rushed.
The 100000 900 bond issue bill viii be
crowded through without batting an eye.
The House has already passed It. and the
Senate will do so quickly.
/, An agreement between the two houses
over the huge Sl2 600. 10000 army bill is
expected to require considerable effort,
and II may be necessary TO pass a con-
tinuing resolution on army appropril-
dons to last until there can be an ad-
3ustment over important Senate amend
mepts
Today the Senate has before ii the
$3.50 wheat amendment. Senator Mar
tin is leading a fight to have the
senate recede on this and to expedite
passage Of the agricultural bill. This
may provoke g long discussion, and
II was uncertain this morning
whether the agricultural bill would
60 over until after the recess.
Suffrage Going Over.
Suffrage is going over until after
the recess.
Wartime prohibition, in the form Of
the Norris amendment to the food pro-
duction bill, still stood out as a bone
Of serious contention today. Its op-
ponents continue their efforts TO drive
it over until after the recess. II they
cannot succeed in that and the Senate
is forced TO take IL up, a point of
oroer viii be made against the Norris
amendment and an effort made TO
knock it out by this method.
The anxiety Of COngress-or manv
OF Its members-tO take a recess
this month is heightened by the feel
ing that the session is likely TO last
, all fall. The new taxation and rev
enue bill promises to be loaded to
the guards with controversy and 10
require many weeks OF discussion.
especially since the report Of the
Federal Trade Commission has
thrown a flood Of light on profteer-
ing and has shown that it exists in
barefaced form.
To sect" Excess Profits
Many House and Senate members
declare that the profits Of the prof
teers will be to a large extent con
seripted by the new revenue and tax
alton measure. which the Ways and
Means Committee will soon proceed
70 frame, and which is distinct from
the new $s.OOO.OOO, 900 bond bill, soon
20 be passed.
Chairman Sims Of the House
Water Power Committee is trying to
force the water power bill to pas
rage before the recess, but he will
evidently not succeed. This is one
Of the measures which will go over
until after the recess.

NO YANKS MAY Be
BAckBY CHRISTMAS

The War Department today was
without definite information as to
when the 5irst of the Yankee combat
divisions would sail for home.
Press dispatches from overseas to-
day stated that the Seventy-sixth had
arrived at the port Of St Nazalre and
was embarking for home. and that
the T6cnty-seYenth, New York ma
tional guardsmen, had been with
drawn and would embark IN a few
days. However, the War Departments
was unable to confirm these dis
patches, and Secretary Baker frankly
expressed the belief that no entire di-
visions would be home before Christ
mas.
'I don't see how they can be moved
for several weeks" he declared. "and
were i to predict, 1 would say that
none would return to America before
Christmas"
However, II was pointed ous that
the returning OF these divisions II

shing, and that he has the authority
to send them home even without noti-
