Washington, March 4.--Congress
adjourned at noon today in the midst
of Republican dlibuster In Senate
that killed long list of important
measures, including the bill appropri-
ating threeqiarters of billion for
railroad administration, ;sithout
which some administration leaders
say the railroads must be returned
to the owners before the middle OF
April.
The Democrat leaders realized the
situation was hopeless. and gavels
ending the sixty-ffth congress actual
ly tapped at noon. Just before adj
iournment President Wilson authoriz
ed final notice to the Republican
leaders that their efforts to force
an immediate extra session had
failed; that he was unshaken in his
determination not to call congress
until the work at the peace confer
ence was done.
Only two bills ran the gauntlet OF
the last As hours. They were the
victory Liberty Loan and Billion dol
lar ahead guarantee bill. After ad
journment President Wilson issued a
statement declaring that a "GrouT
of men in the Senate have deliberate
ly chosen to embarass the administra
ton of the government and to i'm
peril the financial interests Of the

COMMISSION FINDS
not necessary TO
GIVE COAL PERMITS
uel Supply Passes Demand by
Receipt Of So Cars During
Week Ordinance Fixing the
Business Hours imperative.

There Is no coal crisis in Boise Just
q present. Edwin Harrington, Frank
martin and r. H. Park, city fuel COM
misstoners. Thursday decided that
there - coal enough in the city to re-
move any present uneasiness regard
ing the supply, and that 1t will not be
necessary to restrict purchases to the
holders Of permits. Until further no.
lice, then. citizens may buy coal at
such times and in such uantities as
they may arrange directly with their
dealers, without securing permit at
the city hall.
Nine cars of coal were received Mon
day by Boise dealers. eight on Tues
Gay. -FOUR on Wednesday, and ~ or IA
Thursday. This brings the supply up
10 point easily sufficient to care for
the demand during moderate weather.
ORDINANCE NON-EFFEcTivE.
The decision of the commission has
the effect of making a dead letter of
the city ordinance which goes into eff
rect tomorrow. 1t will be ready for
enforcement later should necessity for
" arise; but as the matter now stands,
the provisions of the ordinance defin-
Ing opening and closing hours for BUSH
ness houses, society meetings, cigar
stores, pool rooms and places of
amusement, will not be observed
The last permit issued by the fuel
commission before this decision was
reached was No. 4611. Most permits
granted during the II days of city reg
ulation were for 1000 pounds. Since
Monday permits for purchases of ton
lots and larger have been given out
Strict regulation and enforcement
OF the ordinance said Commissioner
Harrington today. will be applied
again If conditions revert to the crit
ical stage. But we are ahead of the
game now. and need not worry unless
transportation difficulties cut off our
supply later.
SHOULD BUY EARLIER.
The right way to guard against fuel
shortage is to bring about such COOP
GRAFTON between dealer and consumer
that the bulk Of the distribution is done
in advance. There are $1,000 tons of
coal used in Boise territory each year
Three -fourths of this is bought and
used during six months, and two thirds
OF the consumption Is during Deem
Der, January and February. This
means an average of $40 tons a day
throughout the six months.
ITO extend this distribution over a
wider portion of the year would mean
larger reserve supply when the cold
est weather comes and lessen the un-
easiness and consequent rush in such
times as we had during two weeks of
the present month"

to them, although they were technical
ly members of the French army.
I'VE had no corresponding class in
our army and navy, therefore our
Victory Medal will be given to all the
members of those two services who
served on active duty during the war.
they are all considered combatants in
this connection. This consideration
also decided the question as to which
of the nations should appear on the
reverse Of the medal. Under the speci-
fications, as already set forth, it would
have been permissible to have included
all those that declared war against
Germany, or even all those who sus-
pended diplomatic relations, but a
number of these did not actually par
ticipate In the fighting and therefore
had no combatants. AS result, it
has been decided that the only nations
to be represented on the reverse of the
medal will be those which actually
took part In hostile operations by
sending troops or ships to the theatre
of war.
HOW NATIONS ENTERED.
''The following is list of such ma
tions. arranged in the order of their
entry into the war: Serbia. Russia,
France, Belgium, Great Britain, Monte
negro, japan, Italy. Portugal. Rumania,
Greece, United States, China, and Bra
I'll.
"A system of clasps was adopted for
this medal and to designate the posses
sion of a battle clasp a small bronze
star Is worn on the service ribbon This
Is a new departure In decorations The
British have used clasps for more than
a hundred years. but they have never
indicated them on the service ribbon.
A man may have a dozen with his
medal or none. the service ribbon Is
the same; SO this wearing of small
bronze stars on our service ribbon to
denote the possession of battle clasps
Is an innovation. AS the medal itself
Is seldom worn. while the service rib
bon Is worn frequently, 1t gives more
credit for services performed.
