Dc. freshmen PLAN
MEETING MARCH II

Plans for Il big meeting on st.
Patricks Day. March II, were made
by the Friends Of Irish Freedom at
= meeting OF the society last night
in Central Hall, Seventh and 1 streets
northwest. \ proposal to have the
meeting here while President Wilson
is in the city was defeated, some
members declaring more time should
be given to arranging the details o!
the gathering.
T. J. Ryan declared Washington
should be the first city I'm this country
in urging the independence Of Ire
land. Contrasting the packed audi
cnce that attended last nights meet
ing with the attendances the society
had last year. he declared that the
cause of Irish freedom has gained
many supporters i'm Washington.
Rosa +. Downing, =. I. Moran, p.
J. Ryan, John J. Noonan, Margaret
BrOsnahan and Joseph y. Reeves
delegates to the Irish Freedom Con-
vention ia Philadelphia, will inform
that convention of the intention to
hold the st. Patrick's Day meeting

Mr.. Downing. president of the local
society. said that the cause of Irish

scented here. "Sinn Feiners,' he said,
ARE people of the highest type and
culture. They are patriots"
He declared there is no Bolshevism

Proposes Great World
Lottery to End Money
Problem Caused by War

ROME, Feb. 17.-Ex-Minister
Luigi Luzzatti, a noted financier,
has found the proposal made by
Umberto Spillman. inspector at the
ministry OF the treasury. worthy
of being brought to President Will
sons notice.
As the financial problem is that
which harnesses most sorely all the
countries of the world, both bell
ligerent and neutral. Spillman ur-
gently exhorts Wilson to make
himself the promoter Of a colos-
sal world lottery. He calculates
that out OF zoo. 200, 900 people in
the world 5000. 900 would particle
pate in the lottery. Each person
could contribute by buying rten
tickets, costing $50 each, the
amount to be paid in monthly in
stallments.

BIC BILLS MAY co
TOEXTRA SESSION

Proposed railroad legislation and
measures relating to the packers, to
labor, to unemployment, and TO
many other subjects of the first
magnitude very probably will 60
over to an extra session.
With but two weeks left of the
present session, there will be little
actual business done in the two
houses from now until March 4 eX-
,cept in connection with the appro-
priation bills. A number Of the
committees, however, have matters
of moment which they viii con-
slider, and in some instances make
reports upon.
With both houses facing a con-
gestion of legislative proposals al
most unparalleled, the bulk Of opin-
ion about the House and Senate to-
day was that it would be impossible
to avoid an extra session.
Could Rush Appropriations.
1t would be possible. it is true, to
pass all the appropriation bills if they
were rushed through with scant con-
sideration. The indications. however,
arc that this plan will not be followed
and that each bill will be given close
scrutiny.
The impression is growing that the
army and navy bills both are likely 20
fail of passage.
A sharp fight has developed over
the army appropriation bill in the
House There is criticism Of the War
Department Opposition to the Mill
tary Committee plan for a temporary
army OF half. a million men is just
one of many legislative snags which
are showing up in the, closing days.
Unless there is a decided change in
the situation soon. the District Of Co
lumbia bill will be one Of the meas
Ures to go over.
While there has been an impression
that the extra session. if called. would
not be called until late in Nay or
about June 1. the opinion is gaining
that II some of the important appro-
priation bills so over il will be called
in April.
League Pact Leading Issue.
The league OF nations covenant nat
uraIIy has become a foremost issue
and there is every symptom that the
Senate will devote much time between
now and Marcn 10 ulSCuSSiOn OF il.
The prediction is heard in well-in-
formed quarters that the present Con
gress will expire March with the
Senate locked in debate over the pro.
posed league.
Advocates of wheat guarantee leg
islation and Of prohibition law en-
forcement legislation both are getting
nervous over the brief time still al
lowed them in which to get action.
The rivers and harbors bill is the
immediate question before the Senate
TODAY It is under fire as usual.
The Army Appropriation bill is the
supply measure with which the House
is wrestling.
A controversy is looming up over
the $4,000, 900, 600 additional bond is
sue bill which SecrRtaTy Glass wants
passed. The measure in some form
will probably be passed before March
(. but the Secretary of the Treasury
viii not be granted the latitude he
desires. At least, that is the way
members of the Ways and Means
Committee are talking today.

Rudolph Jose, chairman of the COM
mittee on business organizations OF
the main committee, today appointed
chairmen Of districts into which the
city will be divided for the campaign.

Commissioner Gardiner. chairman Of
the Washington committee stated today
that efforts would be made early in the

let the drive lag until the final days.
Mr.. Jose. at meeting in the Board Of
Trade today, told every worker to ex-
plain the necessity for relief funds for
the Syrians, Armenians and kindred
peoples to prospective subscribers, so
that response to the appeal would be
more general.
The S1OO,OOO.OOo food fund was
originally intended to care for the
those Of Europe" said Mr.. Jose.
But the needs of these small nations
are so great according to Herbert
Hoover, that separate fund is
necessary"
The opening Of the drive was
heralded yesterday in all Washing
ton churches.
