Vote ON OVERMAN
BILL POSTPONED
Withdrawn from Discussion Pend
ing Passage of Appropria-
ton Measures.

Administration leaders in the Sen
ate yesterday abandoned hope OF
securing an early vote on the Over
man bill to give the President power
to reorganize executive departments
OF the government. This is due to
the death OF Senators BroussaFd and
Stone, without whose votes the ma
jority would have extreme difficulty
in passing the bill
The normal Democratic majority ir
the Senate has been cut to six votes
by the loss of the two Senators. A
large number of those on the Dem
ocratic side. however, are irrevocably
opposed to the bill. These opponents
claim that there will be more Dem
ocrats voting against the bill than
there will be Republicans voting for
II, SO that every vote will be needed
by the advocates of the measure to
force II through.
Those in charge Of the bill plan tc
allow the legislative appropriation bill
be taken up and disposed of before
debate on the Overman measure 1:
resumed. Then the debate will be al
lowed to run along indefinitely until
successors to Senators Broussard ant
Stone can be seated Both of the
vacancies will be filled by guberna.

ers will make an effort to have the
governors of Louisiana and Missouri
act quickly in making the appoint

Club FEDERATION
TOLD OF WAR NEED
w. NJ. Lewis Gives Stirring Address
Before Women's Meeting.

War for liberty and money to r.
nance that war were the two sub
jects that monopolized the interest OF
the District Of Columbia Federation OF
Women's Clubs at its regular weekly

The federation had called upon the
Treasury Department to supply one
Of its best liberty loan speakers for
the occasion, and a string address
by William Mather Lewis was the re-
suit. This was followed by the sing
ing IN chorus Of many camp songs,
under the direction and to the accom-
paniment OF Kenneth 8. Clark, repre-
senting the War Department Commits
sion on Training Camp Activities.
Mr.. Lewis, who returned from Ger
many to America shortly before this
country entered the war, while show
ing no pessimism as to the outcome
of the struggle, said the people Of the
United States were not yet awake to
the real seriousness of the situation.
He laid stress on the terrible menace
to liberty with which the world Il
now faced, and made a strong plea
for the buying of liberty bonds.
Mrs. Court r. Wood, president, was
chairman. At the close of the meet
ing Mrs. Augustus Knieht. general
federation director. made . brief but
impassioned appeal that her hearers
should personally loose their purse
strings for this great cause.

time he expressed his full confidence
in the war chief who was then under
senatorial fire.
On this occasion it is admitted that
there is less reason for such mes
sage and hence Bakers stay may be
rather longer than it might otherwise
be.
Incidentally it is pointed out that
Baker and Ryan will doubtless be able
to return with much useful informa-
ton to offset the senatorial air re-
port and the Hughes committee re-
port which is likely to develop in their
absence.
The presence of General Hines in
the party is especially significant.
Turn around" and debarkation in
France have been serious problems.
With heavier shipments of men and

pressure on the overburdened ports.
