Suffrage Loses Hope.

Washington, March 3.-With the
Victory Liberty loan bill out OF the
way passage Of which early yes
terday virtually ended an effort to
force an ertra session of congress
in advance of the presidents return
from France, both branches OF con-
gress went to work early today with
the hope OF clearing up a mass OF
bills few OF which leaders thought
would be put through.
Democratic leaders predicted thar
while the army and navy appropria-
ton measures would not be passed,
the billion-dolar wheat guarantee
bill and the general deficiency ap-
preparation measure, carrying $780,
100000 for the railroad administra-
ton, would be enacted before sine
die Adjournment tomorrow noon,
There seemed little chance OF get
ting through nearly a dozen bills,
including the agricultural bill, with
a rider to repeal the daylight saving
act; the supdry civil BILL carrying
$600,000,000 for the shipping board ;
omnibus building bills, and measure
providing for federal control and
regulation of the meat-packing in
dustry. These are only few of
the measures that are expected to
die on the calendar
Hope virtually was abandoned by
suffrage leaders of preventing a fill
buster on the equal suffrage consti-
tutional amendment which Senator
Jones. of New Mexico expected to
call up if opportunity offered.

proval by President Wilson OF the
death sentence imposed by a mill
tary court-martial upon Private
Max Sandin, conscientious OBJ

Sandin was found guilty OF hay-
ing refused to obey an order OF

NORRIS SCORES
VIII SON CLAIM
AS ERRONEOUS
Senator Charges Pres
ident's History Mixed
in Jap Case.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Prefacing
a prepared address on the League
Of Nations, Senator Norris, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska. declared in the
senate today that President Will
sons statement in his St. Louis
speech to the effect that Great
Britain and the other allies had
promised Japan Germany's rights
in China in order to get Japan into
the war was erroneous"
at is a matter of history that
Great Britain and the other allies
did not make that secret agree
ment with Japan until 1917" said
Senator Norris.
Has History Mixed.
"At the time that agreement was
made all of Germany's possessions
in China had been captured and
there was not German ship on
the Pacific so the president has not
got his history on straight. / chal-
lenge the president to produce evil
dence to substantiate what he said
in st. Louis"
Senator Norris, Republican, of
Nebraska, speaking in the senate
today on the claims of China to
Shantung, said the president would
not tell the facts regarding the dis
position OF that province because
it would cast some reflection on
the peace conference"
Supporters of the administration,
he said, dare not because it would
incur the displeasure of their great
leader" so the senator announced
he himself would relate the story
of the troubled community"
In narrative form that usually
begins "Once upon time" Senator
Norris told the story of Shantung.
Throughout his speech, which
never was changed from its al
legorical style, nations were re-
ferred to as individuals, Germany
being styled as Bill Kaiser, Japan
as Mr.. Jap; Great Britain. France
and Italy as John Bull, Mr.. French
and Mr.. Italiano. respectively,
while the United States was named
Miss Columbia
Mr.. Jap Makes Hay, Etc.
Bill Kaiser, pictured as a husky
fellow, who trained himself in the
use of firearms with the idea Of
despoiIing his neighbors, the sena-
tor said, forcibly took the SHAN
tung farm" from John Chinaman
and later, when the other men,
bers of the community were en-
gagged in furnishing Bill Kaiser. Mr..
Jap, taking advantage of Bill Kais-
er's pre-occupation, seized the
property.
