RHEIMS BIBLE
GIFT FROM FOCH
Marshal Presents War Relic
To Delegation of Minis
ters in New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia she'll
torn Bible, relic of martyred Rheims,
was presented by Marshal Foch to
delegation of the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ who called on
him this morning at the home of
Delaney Kountze. where the allied
generalissimo is living during his
stay in New York. The sturdy old
soldier thus began a program no
less strenuous than that of yester-
day. when New York showered him
with a regular offensive of hospi-
tality.
The Bible was from the pulpit of
the Protestant Church at Rheims,
which was ruined in the German ad-
vance of 1914. For the first time IN
his long tour of the country the
strenuous hospitality has begun to
tell on the marshal. Or. Andre. his
physician. has ordered him to cancel
several engagements. His hand is
swollen from much shaking, and he
is firing somewhat under the fast
pace.
Marshal Foch became a doctor or
laws this afternoon for the four
teenth time since he arrived in
America, receiving the degree from
Columbia University. He later drove
to Oyster Bay, where he laid a
wreath on the grave of Theodore
Roosevelt

will amount to so per cent.

Atlantic passenger lines have almost
completed arrangements for meeting
the requirements of the new United

FROSTY ARMS

Cold Wave Riding on

You'll have time enough to

shake out the moth balls

morals before the cold wave
which is swooping down on
this section of the country on
the wings of the north and
northwest winds reaches
Washington, according to the
Weather Bureau.
The cold wave was already
making itself felt last night
when the temperature took a
sudden, drop from the sum-
mer heat of so degrees to 50
degrees in an hour, and by
tonight you can figure that
the first real cold wave of
the winter will fold US in its
frosty arms, the weather man
says.
An increasing cold spell has
already struck the West

States with temperatures
there as low as % degrees

circulating waves of this
same frosty quality are pre-
dicted to reach the Atlantic

The Democratic conferees from
both branches. led by Senator Sim

refused to sign the report and gave
notice last night they would fight
its adoption. Their attitude is
certain to throw most of the Dem

given enough support from the Re-

result in throwing the bill back
into conference.
Corporation Rate Higher.
An agreement was reached fixing
the corporation income tax at 12L
per cent, the House figure. This
puts the rate 2k per cent higher
than the existing law. The Senate
figure was Is per cent

House Action Tomorrow.
The House will take up the re-
port tomorrow under special
agreement reached by leaders to-
night. Although the fight there
will be a bitter one, it was be-
lieved that by limiting debate the
House would be able to finish with

send 1T to the Senate on Tuesday
for the real battle.

confident the pressure for a vaca-
tion before the regular December
session would keep the Senate from
going longer than Wednesday
night on the report. The plan is
to adjourn both branches from
Wednesday to December 5.

some steps will be taken toward
