FILIBUSIER
KILLS MANY
BIG Bills
Democrats Realized Sitqa-
ton Was Hopeless Clock
Not Turned Back.
R. R. APPROPRIATION
BILL DOES NOT PASS
Wilson Determined Not to
Call an Extra Session
Before Returning.

Washington, March 4.-Con.
grees adjourned at noon today I'm
the midst Of Republican Ah-
buster In the senate that killed .
long list of important measures.
Among the bills that failed wasg
ono appropriating $3.50, ,OpoA005
for the railroad adminlstin&30a,
without which some adminish1-f
tiOn leaders say the railroads
must be returned to their oWneEs
before the middle Of April.
There was NO turning back Of
ICED that the situation was hope
long, great war session and the
noon.
Just before adjournment,
President Wilson in his capitol
Office, authorized nnal notice 10
the Republicans that their efoets
to force an immediate extra ses-
sion had failed; that he was un-
shaken in his determination not
to call congress until his work 1t
the peace conference was done.
Adjournment marks the pass
ing Of Democratic control at tho
capitol. The congress that e0.
pircd at noon began in Apcl
1917, passed the German vaf
declaration, and its almost con.,
tinuous sessions have been
marked by unprecedented legis-
lation and controversy.
Big bills that failed included
both the army and navy aDprO.
priatiOn measures. The only two
important measures that ran the
gauntlet of the last 48 hours Of
fiilibustering were the victory
liberty loan bill end the, 5billion
dollar wheat guarantee hin.
FYLIBUSTER CONTINUED.
The filibuster continued until
the end. Senator Sherman, who
began q speech at 1880 ~ M,
held the floor four hours and sue
cessfully prevented further con-
sideratiOn of the railroad appfO.
priation.
The Last half hour was spent
in roll calls on a house resolution
To which amendments were pro-
posed providing for early de-
mobilization Of the Americaa
army. The resolution never
reached q final vote.
The senate adjourned In an ND
roar Of laughter when the vice
president announced that the
senate was adjourned 'ssine deo,"
instead of sine die.
Half an hour before adjourn
ment President Wilson agned
the S1.00O,OOO,O0O wheat guaraa-
tee measure.
There was no further action in
the senate ON the resolution Of.
fered by Republican Leader
Lodge and signed by 38 repubt-
can members of the next senate,
opposing the league of nations In
its present form. The house roeo-
luton urging the American peace
delegates to make an effort for
Irish independence also died in
the senate.
Failure of the $3.50, ,OOO, ,O0O3
railroad appropriation also car
ried with 1t other appropriation
in the general deficiency bill, az.
gregating $9s 200, 900 distributed
among many government depart
ments and including $50. .OOO, 600
for purchase and requisition OF
ships by the shipping board.
NO PLAN ANNOUNCED
Death of the railroad measure
and the conference between the
president with congressional
leaders today brought forth NO
definite sign OF the presidents

GEN. HUTCHINSON DEMANDS
RESULTS" AND GETS THEM
Camp Commander Seeks Advice, Acts De-
iberately and Then Rules Firmly-Does
Not Object to Woman Employees

The question is asked sometimes
why is Gen. Hutcheson making so
many changes in the personnel of
his officers"
Efficiency" is the answer
When Gen. Hutchinson came to Camp
Meade from Custer he was told to
maintain the camp on a business
basis For years he has been known
as that kind of man; one who does
things well and who insists that the
people under him work the same way.
r The general is big man. physical
ly He is about five feet eleven inches
tall and his chest and girth are
broad. He probably weighs about
24O pounds Behind this immense
manhood is a driving power that is
Gen. March probably
realized this when he detached him
from the big job of embarkation OFF,
Ger at Newport News and placed him
in charge Of the training of the 4th-
Division ~ Custer Re won =

figured that such a fine organizer
would be fine leader of big Army
in action.
But the Custer boys of that divi-
sion did not get overseas and the gen.
eral was sent to Camp Meade to see
that the important job OF demobiliza
ton and replacement training was
conducted well.
Takes Advice Readily. 4
DO you really think that5 things
are going all right? Don't say it if
you do not mean it, said the general
to a civilian Monday morning
The civilian told him that every
body felt that he must be on his toes
to satisfy the general" He looked
pleased to hear the favorable report
He is not the sort to disregard the
opinions of others. He forms his own
very deliberately. but when he reaches
q conclusion it would take the Presi-
dent himself to preSeHt him from

to the matter of beautifying the

said complaints mad been made that
manure could not be obtained from
the stables because of a contract
which enabled one firm to obtain all
the manure within the camp. The
general said at once that this would
not stop him from letting the soldiers
have all the manure thew wanted with
which to enrich the carrk about their

have been transmitted into the vir-
tues of peace and our institutions
here show that they are the fruits OF
conduests which we have won over
ourselves in the making of finer and
higher possibility of living, there.
after all, will be the justification OF
our strength as people"
Mr.. Baker had other things to say
concerning the American soldier
words which thinking Yanks can read
with benefit. He said:
"One other illustration Of our ma
tional strength / delight to dwell up
on 10 the way in which we summoned
from field and factory, by the demo-
cratic processes OF the Selective
Service Law, the young men of Am
erica. Magic cities were built aS
training camps. Tens OF thousands
of officers were speedily and effective
ly trained in order that they In turn
might train the recruits. They were
summoned to q wholesome and insptr-
ing environment, and responded 70
the call to make themselves mt to
fight by leading lives Of self-restraint,
ana giving DOLu IHClE mluuS aAu uO0-
les to the discipline OF intensive train
ing. In May OF 1917 we responded to
the request Of the French and Brit
ish and sent the first division of Am
erican troops to associate our flag
with the flags of the free peoples on
the Western Front Slowly at first,
we added other divisions, but in the
early part of this year, when the tide
Of German invasion seemed to threat
en- the Allied cause, we were ready
with trained and equipped divisions.
The stream of them across the sea
was incessant. Our veteran divisions
at Cantigny and Chateau Thierry sue
cessfully resisted the German ma
chine, and in September an indepen-
dent American army took the St.
Mthiel salient, and from then on an
American General with two million
American soldiers at his back drove
through the Argonne Forest, took
Sedan, and so shattered the whole
German system of military operations
that surrender more complete than
unconditional was accepted by Ger
many at the point OF the sword when
the armistice of November eleventh
was signed"
Trench and camp., 1919-01-23

Americans, who have attained
greatness in war through unity, must
unite their labors to make America
equally great in peace. SO Secretary
OF War Newton D. Baker summed up,
in q speech before the Buffalo, N. T.,
Chamber of commerce, the end to
which discharged soldiers should ded-
icate their efforts in civilian life.
After . glowing tribute to the
worth Of the U. s. Army, Mr.. Baker
pointed out that our future aim
must be the making in this country Of
q higher and more beautiful cfvilfZa-
ton. He advocated eQualfty Of Op-
portunity, universal distribution OF
the benefits of education and leisure,
and Just recognition for all those who
contribute to the creation OF the ma
tons wealth.
"The Army of four million men as
sembled here and on the plains OF
France is In process Of demCbiIiza-
tion," said Mr.. Baker. 1.-THE great
army of men and women mObilized
into the industry and commerce of
this country I'm order to make rs
strong for war is being demobilized
into peaceful occupations. The Sac
rifices which have been made in Am
erica to secure the triumph Of this
hour are well-nigh universal, and the
lust expectation Of those who have
made them is not merely that they
will be permitted to march down
streets headed by bands and display
ing the banners of returning victors
that is beautiful, but it is beautiful
only when it is significant OF the tri-
umph Of right, and only when it Is
promising Of q future made happier
and higher by the victory which it

press forward, and fear not. The
virtues which our people have dis
played were not blind forces but in

sacking Of cities, but the building or

and Americas participation In this
war will be brilliant in history not
alone because Of the exploits OF our
