THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS.

l There is talk about the adjournment 1 of congress at an early date in Nov ember in order to permit short re- cess before the opening of the regular 1 session in December. This would be ] the end of the extraordinary session called together last May for the pur- pose of considering important mat l ters before the country. For the most part the time of the senate has been taken up with the discussions of the various features Of the treaty of peace as well the efforts of the foreign relations committee to get information thereon, but unless more speed i shown in the next few weeks than has been manifested before it seems prob able that much of the programme that was set before the congress will not be carried out.
 There have been a few bills that have been passed and a number of bills have been reported out of com
 mittee but it seems improbable that
 action can be taken on them at this
 session if adjournment is taken as
 planned. It is probable that the vote
 on the treaty will be reached but it is
 doubtful whether it will be possible to pass the much needed railroad leg isia tion before the first Of the year,
 and it is Q question whether the
 senate will act on the national budget
 bill Reconstruction legislation as to
 finances will probably be delayed as
 recomn1 ended. The bill for the en-
 forcenent of prohibition is before the
 president for action and it seems inn
 portant that the passport restrictions be extended for another year but no other ir11naig igratioil policy has been greed upon.
 Thus though the appropriation measures nave Teen ;-cteS upon the extra session of congress has done but little in the way of new legislation.
 Not d few Investigations have been
 started but if what was expected of this session IS going to be accom- pfished much work remains to be done.

PROTECTING THE COUNTRY.

Gradually is the treaty of Versailles
 being brought to the point where final
 iction is going to be taken upon it by
 the senate of this country Having disposed of the efforts to amend the document the discussion now centers about the reservations for which it is and has been fully understood there is much support both sides of the
 house.
 Such efforts as have been made rep resent the desire of the advocates to see that the interests of this country are properly safeguarded. Many more were there who believed that while the country's welfare should be looked af- ter carefully it was not necessary to amend the treaty and therefore send it back to the conference but that reservations would accomplish the same thing. The deliberations in the senate have now reached the point. or nearly so. where the question of reser- vatfons is to be acted upon soon. The foreign relations committee is favor abf- thereto and if a correct count of tse reservationists has been made there are sufficient favorable to set ting forth the position of this country in terms that will make it certain where it stands to adopt the reserva- tioIis advocated.
 Among the requirements is one that the Reservations by this country shall be approved by three of the four oth- CT leading powers. This is for the purpose of having it thoroughly un- derstcod by the other signatories just how the United States stands in re- gard to these points on which it makes reservations. and to have the understanding approved now rather than waiting until some question arises when 1t might be maintained that it was not understood that we took any such view at all.
 It is quite evident that we are draw ing near to the vote on ratification and that AmericanisIn is not going to be sacrificed for internationafis.n.

 So with the lilacs. There are dog ems of new varieties as well as some species from China which are well worth planting. Among the latter is Syrir1ga viliosa. which is valuable be- cause it blooms later than all the common lilacs and thus prolongsi the season. When you buy liiacs if you insist upon having them grown on
 their own roots instead of being bud ded on some other stock, you will probably escape trouble.
 There is no reason why roses should not be set out now, although it is. often wise to have the beds made up some what in advance of plantingg time. The hybrid perpetuals and in most

 inches for it will certainly settle more or less. Most plants set out in the fall need q little protection, and this is Particularly true Of roses: One
 Of the best methods with roses is to
 bank them at least a foot high with earth If you can thrown some liian,ire or. litter over the earth after tle
 ground freezes. much the better Ihls plan will prevent any heaving of
 the ground and will keep the roses rom being frozen back too far.
 With all shrubs you will find il aff-
 Vlsable to scatter several inches of lit ter around the base late in the season. Remember. though, with all winter protection, whtther for shrubs pr l,e- renniad plants. the purpose to accor11p-
 lsh IS not to prevent the cold from getting into the ground but to prevent the alternate freezing and thawing which exposes the roots to the. drying winds and is almost certain to result in a loss.

cARRANZA's IMPoTENcY.

 Let him talk to the Mexican con- gross Or let him address note to this government and the impression would be gained thercfrom that he has Mex ico and all that is in it completely un- der his thumb. Facts. however, do not bear him out. We have had plenty of evidence as to his impotency relative 10 border troubles where the rebels dc about as they please when it comes to attacking Americans and raiding American property. and we have but recently seen evidence of his inabil- ity to put down the bandits by the forcing Of people in settlements and outlying districts to gather in concen- tration camps as a means of keeping provisions taken from such people away from the bandits.
 The latest act of the rebels. how ever, makes it evident that it is not only along the border but in the in terlor as well that he is far from be- ing in control. When bandits enter manufacturing establishment in the city of Puebla, rob the place. kidnap tks proprietor who is also United States consul, and hold him for a ran som of s15o,0o0, it reveals a situation that should of necessity cause him worry for it Is the second time such an act has been committed.

KEYPORT To Have
PRIMARY FIGHT
|StIdfOIe and Cooley Against o.
den and Polling in Race
By specinl Corrsspondent,

KEYPORT, Sept. 1S-The primary
election on Tuesday which at first
promised to be a very quiet affair is
now beginning to take q new turn
and it looks as though there would
be an exciting contest for the nomi-
nation of borough councilmen. The
terms of G. w. Stidfole and DIR. H.
s. Cooley expire n they have an
nounced their candidacy for reelec-
tion. Opposing them are petitions
for the nomination of DR.. Fred c.
Ogden and James e. Polling.
Councilman Stidfole has served his
complete term while DIR. Cooley filled
an unexpired term but both have
been faithful in their attendance of
the meetings of the council as we'll
as in their interest in the borough
welfare and many favor their reelec-
ton. On the other hand DIR. Ogden
is an interested n progressive citi-
zen and Mr.. Polling is much interest
ed in borough affairs. and both these
having a large number of friends
the coming primary election promises
to be of interest.
The only other contest is hat of
Elmer E. Morris against DR.. H. w.
Hartman for county committeeman
in the second district and while this
will probably not create as much in
terest as that for councilmen, it also
is expected to be an exciting contest.

paign. 1t embodies a strong presen-
tation of Staten Islands greatest
needs, placing stress upon ferries,
highways, transit facilities and a
subway for the Borough of Rich
ond. The platform is purely non
partisan and should make a strong
appeal to the Independent voter. and
all who are interested in the develop
ment of the island. It contains seven
planks and is as follows:
IL. Development of Staten Island
by improved transit facilities.
2. A subway for Richmond bor-
, ough. This is not a dream. The
other boroughs have them and we
are helping to foot the bill.
8. Extension of the Southf1eld
boulevard by using funds appropri-
ated by the state for highways. 1
will introduce a bill demanding that
some of this money come to Staten
Island.
4. A magistrates court for the
southern half of Staten Island. Peo-
pie should not be compelled to travel
ten or twelve miles to make a COM
plant or pay a fine.
5. Better ferry service. All-year
ferry for Linoleumville. Another
ferry for Tottenville. Improved sery-
ice for Port Richmond and st.
George.
6. More adequate trolley service
for carrying workers to and from
s%hipyards and other industries. 81
z. Fair consideration and fair pay
for all city and public employees In
return for fair and honest service. In
the matter of city and state appoint
ments soldiers and sailors should De
given the preference"
Mr.. Ritz has for many years been
active in public and civic affairs and
has devoted much time to problems
confronting Staten Island. He is a
member of the Staten Island Subway
Committee, favors the direct route 70
Manhattan, and has discussed TINS
question many times before Staten
Island audiences.
Staten Island has been heavily tax
ed for. the past ten years to a Tor
subways in the other boroughs, anu
he declares that Richmond must MOI
longer be excluded from the Greater
City subway system.
Because Of the heavy
traffic through the island the preseni
highways are not adequate 70 NEE,
the needs. An annual appropriation
Is made by the state for highways
and he promises to introduce a Dill
making some of this money available
for the completion of the Southnelu
boulevard, This would open a main
artery Of traffic. 100 feet wide, from
ST. George to Tottenville.
The ferry question Is OF great I'M
p~ortance to an island in its early
stages of development, and Mr.. Ritz
includes this as an important plank
of his platform. He believes that the
southern end of the island must be
made more accessible to Perth Am
boy. One of the most aggravating
things the mar living on n lslano
contend with is the ferry. AS presi-
dent of the T%ottenville Civic League
Mr.. Ritz has strongly and persistent
Iv advocated a competing ferry. Dur
ing the past few years the traffic has
Increased many fold. but the service
has not by any means kept pace VIII

ton of Perth Amboy should be Tot

Fire Horse Jumps Over PROSTATE
Boy and Saves His Life

on GDeCaQt Correspondents.
TOTTENVILLE, Sept. 1S:-Amel-
dec sAndriany, twelve years old, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael A~ndriany, of
232 Main street, owes his life to an
intelligent middle horse of q three
horse hitch attached to q fire engine
racing to a small blaze in Joline ave
nue. about 6:20 o'clock last night.
Young Andriany, riding his bicycle
on the right side of the road ahead
of the engine, was knocked from his
wheel by another boy trying to
mount the wheel with him and was
thrown in front of the three horses.
The middle hors made the leap
clear of the boy as he lay In the road
out he was caught by the bottom of
the engine and dragged several feet
before Driver John Murphy could
bring the horses to a halt. The
wheels of the big apparatus narrowly
missed the boys body as 1t passed
over him. The boy was taken to his
home where he was attended by DIR.
David Coleman. He received a badly
sprained left ankle, bruises and abra-
sions about the left and right knee,
right elbow and cut over the left eye.
The front wheel of the bicycle was
smashed.
The night before Ernest Andriany,
eight years old, a brother of Amel-
dec, came near being hit by an au-
tomobile as he dashed in front of a
car in front Of his home.
The fire which was in q chicken
coop in the rear of the residence OF
Alexander Campbell, 129 Joline ave-
nue., was extinguished upon the ar
rival of the fremen of ISL engine and
76 hook and ladder company. Dep
uty Chief Begin came down from
his headquarters to the blaze.
