THE REPUBLICAN PARTY RE. TURNS TO POWER WITH THE ASSEMBLING OF THE SIXTY.
 SIXTH CONGRESS IN EXTRA.
 ORDINARY SESSION.
Republicans Have
 Slight Majority
HAVE MAJORITY OF THlRTY.NiNE VOTES lN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND MAJORITY OF BUT TWO IN THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May 19--R)- When the sixty-sixth congress as- sembled today in extraordinary ses. sion, the republican party was once more returned to power. The first day of the session was taken up by the organization of the different commit tees. The recently cabled message of President Wilson will be read to the joint assembly some time tomor- row.
 It developed today that the repub. licans have a majority of thirty-nine votes in the house and only two in the senate. The veto power of Presi- dent Wilson will be sufficient to re. strain republican action as a two. thirds vote of the house and senate is necessary to override the veto. It will be impossible for the repub- lican party to control this necessary two-thirds vote.
 It is generally expected that this session of congress will conduct in- quiries into various war activities. There have been may charges of mis. management and in some cases a great waste of government funds. It is believed that a thoro investiga- tion will be made into all activi. ties connected with the administra. tion's war program.

Flood of Memoirs by
Former German Leaders

BERLIN, April 80 (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-The spring book lists
continue to feature memoirs by former
governmental, political and military
leaders, the newest acquisition being
two comprehensive volumes written by
former Imperial Chancellor DR.. Won
Bethmann- -Hollweg. The first volume
deals with political developments pre-
ceding the outbreak of the war. An
other work soon to appear will be by
Gottlieb Won Jagow, former Minister of
Foreign Affairs, which is reported to be
plain defence of Germany's pre-war
politics.
German publishers are apparently
putting an extraordinary appraisal on
the foreign interests in these books,
as they are demanding fat royalties for
American and English editions. A Leip-
sic firm is offering the foreign rights
on combination work by Admiral Won
Tirpitz, former Minister of the Navy:
Lieutenant General Won Stein, former
Prussian Minister of War and State,
and Colonel Won Lettow-V Vorbeck, COM
mander of German troops in German
East Africa, for $3.50, 900.
The proposal is made in some quar-
ters that the government seize man
uscripts compiled by leaders of the old
regime and include them among the
foreign securities which are being
requisitioned for the purpose of pay
ing for food shipment from abroad.

Italy Gets a New Loan
OF $5O,OOO,OOO in u. S.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Italy was
given new loan of s50,O0o,O00 to-day
by the Treasury to cover number Of
obligations incurred by the Italian gov
ernment on contracts for war materials
and foodstuffs from American pro-
ducers, The credit extension brought
ltaly's total borrowings from the United
States up to 5T1,500, 900.
The new loan has been under negoti-
alton for several weeks, and recent de-
velopments at Paris resulting from the
Fiume situation, it was stated officially,
have not entered into the financial dis
cussions of representatives of the
treasures of the United States and
Italy.
The loans to all Allies now total So
23S,S29,000. Congress has authorized
total loans of s10,O00,00O,O00, and the
indications at this time are that tho
balance of this authorization will be
sufficient to care for Allied needs be-
tween now and the declaration of peace.
After that date no further loans to
Allied governments may be made, but
the War Finance Corporation has au-
thority to finance exports by American
firms, This may take the place to some
extent of government loans in provid-
ing credit by which foreign interests
may make purchases in the United
States

tears rolling down his cheeks.

Gibraltar he was brought before the
master of the vessel. 1t was then
learned that Lieutenant F. M. Nc
Nerny, a Red Cross worker from To
ledo, knew Anton's father and prom
ised to get into communication with
him.
The Regina dItala brought over
1919 officers and men, the greater part
of whom returned as casuals.

brought home 1888 officers and men,
Ga brides and 9 children. The brides
are English and French women who
have recently become life partners of
American soldiers from Oregon and

fact that religious force must always
be in close touch with all other forces.
Liquor and the social evil were de-
clared by Secretary Keppel to have
been the two chief problems confront
ing the War Department. The zone
law, which placed a certain area
around each camp under control of the
War Department, had proved of the
greatest value in control Of these evils.
THE words officer and gentleman,
said Mr.. Keppel, "have long been cor
related. I feel that l may now safely
say that soldier and gentleman are
equally closely allied"

lor of New York Univers;.v, and the
