URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL
SOON READY IN HOUSE

The urgent deficiency bill, which is
to include appropriations asked for
by government departments to meet
the high cost of living problem, is
now being arranged with the expecta-
ton that it can be presented to the
House on Thursday
AS it now stands this bill carries
about $24 100000, but the committee
expects to slash into this amount con-
siderably before recommending pas
sage of the bill. While under the
guise of cost of living necessity only
a small proportion of these appropria-
tions are really needed for reducing
or controlling the cost of living. ac-
cording to the opinion of the members
of the committee.

German Army Officer Con-
structs Tunnel Which Now
Is Valued Highway"

The Vardar is Serbia's largest and
most troublesome river, according to
a statement issued by the Red Cross.
It has a distressing habit in the
spring months of overf1owing its
banks and inundating. most of the
highways. Gen. Mackensen, COM

of the near east, got tired Of being
held up by washout of the impor-
tant military road at a narrow gorge,
ten kilometers north of Krivolak.
which lies in the southwest corner OF
Serbia. near the Greek border, and
bored a hole through a mountain to
insure himself a dry. covered high
way, independent of time, tide and
the vags lies of the Vardar.
The tunnel is one of the few engi-
neering projects the German failed
to wreck when he retreated. All

has made possible the maintenance of

Evidence of Pomposity.
Here, with true Prussian pomposity,
the German commander caused to be
cut into the bold rock face of the
mountain an inscription to this
effect:
Kaiser Wilhelm II
King of Prussia and Emperor of
Germany
Ordered His Troops to Build
This Tunnel in A. D.
1915
Two years later came the mighty
SWEEP Of the allied armies northward
from Saloniki. The French commander
in-chief read the inscription and
decided to add another. 1t is in fine

into the mountain side Immediately

It Is in French, and 1t records that:

To Chase the Boches Through

LEAGUE OF NATIONS MEETING
HERE IN OCTOBER UNLIKELY
Probable IN November, But If Senate Dis
cussion Is Protracted Gathering Is Ex-
pected to Go Over Until January.

1t now is virtually certain that the
first meeting of the league OF ma
| tons will not be held in Washington
| in October, as originally planned.
The exact date depends upon the
action of the United States Senate
| in regard to ratification of the peace
| treaty containing the covenant winch
creates the league. Should the Sen
ate ratify the treaty in time to permit
delegates to arrive for a meeting
| in November, it probably will be held
then, but if the discussion is much
protracted the meeting time Is eX.
pected to go over until the hrst OF
the new year. some time in January
1920 There probably could be no
meeting in December because OF cir
cumstances which might make 1t IN
convenient for some of the foreign
delegates to come at that time.
Council May Meet Sooner.
The first meeting of the league
council, however can be called any
time after three of the principal pow
ers have ratified the treaty: 1T is
expected to be he'd Immediately after
such ratification Unless the Senate
has ratified the treaty by that time
the United States would not be rep,
resened at the meeting. which would
be held in Paris or in London.
Germany already has ratified and
France is expected by some observers
to ratify some time during September
Italy generally is expected to be the
next in line and japan is expected
to act during the next three months
Great Britain has enacted Legislation
carrying the treaty into effect, but
has not formally ratified it. probably
waiting until after the Canadian par
Lament now in session has acted.
The situation as to ratification by
lesser powers and the large number
of neutrals which signed the treaty
is not clear in Washington. President
Wilson recently told senators of the
foreign relations committee that he
had no official information on that
phase of the subject.
When the council holds its first
neutrality-suspicious. in London or Paris
the session is expected to be COM
paratively brief. Appointment of the
Saar valley commission and the ap-
pointment of high commissioner for
Dantzig are expected to be the prin-
cipal business.
W1rld-Wide Gathering.
The meeting of the assembly. how
ever, which is the gathering of the
whole league with delegates from all
countries and is to be held in the
United States at the call OF Presl-
dent Wilson, is expected to bring
representatives from practically every
nation in the world. Perfecting
permanent organization will be the
first business. for the assembly I'M
doubtedly will meet without DEL
mite program
After organization has been per-
fected committees probably will be
named to take up such questions as
the foundation of permanent court
of international justice. as provided
in article IA of the treaty; disarma,
ment, manufacture of munitions ana
kindred subjects which were left by
the treaty itself to the league to
work out. The commissions to ad,
