HOUSE MEMBERS
 CRAMPED FOR ROOM

t Washington March S-(Specia1 )-Mcn- bers of the House have voted themselves
 s3200 per annum with which to pay cleri- cal assistants during the next and sue ceeding sessions of Congress. Each member of the House occupies one comparatively small room-a room very, very small when the member s paraphernalia is stored therein. Such very small room becomes diminutive when the member is therein seated with one secretary.
 Under the new legislation, each mem Der will find it necessary to hire two as- sistants. For he will argue, probably with justice to his sense of proportion. that $S200 Is sum too large to pay any ! one stenographer.
 When in that diminutive single room
 he finds it necessary to add another desk
 and another girl-with all the truck .he
 other girl will maintain about her-he
 will be compelled for his own persona, comfort to remain for the greater part of
 his time on the outside.
 In justice to the members, it must be said that they voted to put their clerks on the payroll in that they might be re. munerated in person by the government
 not indirectly through the members, ac- cording to present custom. But this vote was lost when, on account of the repub- lican filibuster, the Senate was unable to complete the resolution. And thus in the next session, as in all preceding sessions, money for clerks will be made payable to the members themselves, and the members may or may not turn the checks over to their assitants
 In the nextkyear, therefore each mem- Der Of the House will be paid s320O for clerical assistants. A member if he se- lects, may employ one girl at $500, and retain. with no other accuser than his conscience, the remaining $17OO. Or he
 may employ secretary at 5000 and put
 his wife on the payroll at 5000. Or he
 may select to do his own clerical work,
 or hire girl by the day, and retain
 practically the entire sum.
 In justice to House members, it must
 be reported that the great majority of
 them do the square thing by the gov- ernment and their help--that is, indorse the governments checks and turn them over to their help But, in some incidents, fairness is not practiced. Help is em- pioyed for less pay than the government provides. There is one member of the House who is said to have had for sev- eral years no regularly employed sec- retary or stenographer.
 The gist of the story is that the mem
 bers will find it difficult in their small quarters to handle the big sum of money
 that the government will provide for help and do no outrage either to their
 consciences or their generous govern ment.

provision was made for the financing of the various departments of the govern

 According to Mir. Montague, General
 Grant, aware of his popularity as for
 mer commander of the victorious Union
 armies, proceeded without legal author
 ity to use any money which the treasury contained. When Congress reconvened
 he made accurate statement of what he
 had done, and Congress instantly voted
 that his pay rolls be okeyed
 Irrespective of the popularity through out the country of President Wilson, re- publican leaders in republican Congress. on the eve of national election in which tEey hope to come into their own, would
 display their inherent hatred to such an extent that nothing could prevent, it is
 pointed out, the filing of impeachment proceedings should the President emulate the example of General Grant.
 In accordance with that view, Wilson will continue ito worry along" without sufficient funds with which to finance the government, and without a prema- turely early extraordinary session of Con greSS.

Washington, March s.-tSpecial.) )-The situation respecting the league of nations is an exceedingly ugly situation.
 The President, declaring the people of the United States standing stuchly in support of his policy, goes to France l with the statement that he will return she constitution of the league will be so Tntricately involved, that the Senate will have to accept the constitution or respect the treaty itself.
 This attitude of the President, in view of the fact that 8 senators have de- clared over their signatures that the constitution is not acceptable to them and these senators are sufficiently nu- merically strong to prevent indorsement of the project by a two-thirds majority is regarded as singularly remarkable.
 The domestic angle of the situation is serious enough. But from reports ema- mating out of Paris, the indications are that France will continue lukewarm- will possibly become antagonistic-to the President programme. For France is anxious that formal peace be declared in that Germany might be made to pay it's debt to humanity, that Germany might be deprived of the immeasurable advantages which it would gain through lasting disagreement among the conquer ing nations, and that it might proceed in safety in the demobilization of its own armies
 It is pointed out in this connection that France if aware that the adoption of .lthe constitution of the league of nations Yin connection with peace treaty, would cause the rejection by a republican Sem ate in Washington of the treaty, itself. and thus indefinitely postpone formal declaration of peace. will throw ob- stacles in the way of the constitution or will make determined effort that the league be formed after peace has been made to prevail.
 The President goes back to fight. Should French anti-league propaganda continue, 1t is said the President will re- new suggestion made once before that the conference be transferred from Paris to some other French city-or possibly to London. He is firmly convinced that the people of the country are behind him. He will tell the other commissioners or this conviction. And he will tell them one other important thing which he be- 1ieves to be true-that the Senate, if the

ing chairman. Representative Kahn of California. had slipped off by himself to France, requested Mir. Dent to lead through the war area members of the committee In that they might be as well informed as the new chairman. This request was made by both republican and democratic members.
 When the secretary heard of the movement he entered heartily into the schme. Today he insisted that Mir. Dent take the members abroad and that the party go with him on the George Wash ngton. the Presidents ship, April 5.
 When arrival in France is effected the secretary will instruct General Per shing to detail number of officers to guide the party everywhere. possibly through the battle area, across Belgium into Germany itself
 The members will make a study of conditions and be prepared to under take permanent legislation on their return.

 During the absence of the President, public opinion will be sounded through out the United States. Those senators who oppose the league will continue their attack from points in all the states. The few senators who have formally eN- pressed themselves in favor of the league, will deliver addresses, and it is reported that cabinet members will take the stump.
 In the meantime. the Irish question asserts itself Although the House or Representatives was aware that the President had stated that under the league of nations, the Irish question would be a domestic question for solu- tion by Great Britain, passed by big majority vote a resolution calling upon Great Britain to grant Ireland it's free dom-the right of self-determination, guaranteed to all countries by the eun- damental blanks of the proposed leagues constitution.

M'ADOO AND COX
 MOST LIKELY TJMREP

Washington, March S.-(Special)-Just three names are discussed in connec- ton with the democratic presidential nomination and neither of them belongs to William Jennings Bryan or Morris Sheppard.
 The names are those of W. G. McAdoo, Governor Cox of Ohio, and Champ Clark.
 In the minds of many the latter, on account of advanced age, is discounted. Of the other two, Secretary McAdoo is more frequently mentioned. President Wilson, because of the unpopularity of the third term idea, and doubt as to his own popularity when peace confer eEces are concluded, is not considered.
 Keen observers of conditions like Sen ator Bankhead incline to McAdoo. The secretary made a great record while a member of the cabinet. He not only dis played ability to do big things, but he revealed a resilient intuition by getting when the getting was good" by retiring before his scintlating victories were sub jected to the detracting influences of possible future defeats. And he got very close to labor by insisting at very fre- quent periods that wages be increased.
 Senator Bankhead says that McAdoo could poll more votes than any other democrat.
 And Governor Cox has a great follow ing. During the conferences of govern ors and mayors in Washington he com pletely dominated the convention. He was eloquent in speech. logical and ire. pressble in debate, and in counsel was sustained by a nonpartisan wisdom of most appealing characteristics. He halls from a pivotal state. and the only one Of the middle west which supported Will soE in 1916. He has several times won the gubernatorial honors of that doubt full state

 You can get Neolin-soled shoes in any type of shoe you want. Prices are about the same as for shoes that give only ordinary wear, sometimes they are even less. If your dealer hasn't the style you want, he can get it for you quickly. Remember, Neolln Soles are created by science to be what soles should be.
