Norman III. Davis Is
Confirmed as Under
Secretary of State
Senate Also Approves Nom
ination of Fred K. Nelson
and Hundreds of Army and
Marine Corps Promotions

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The NOM
ination of Norman Fl. Davis, Of Ten
nessee, to be Under Secretary of State
was unanimously confirmed late to-day
by the Senate, acting in open executive
session.
The confirmation was requested by
Chairman Lodge, of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, who intimated that it
was desired by the Republicans be-
cause OF Mr.. Davis's work on the In
ternational Communications Council
1t also was intimated that ne would be
tion to continue that work. The nomi-
nation of Fred K. Nelson, as Solicitor
of the State Department, also was con-
frmed
Unsuccessful attempts were made to
obtain the confirmation of Finnis J
Garrett, to be Judge of the Western
derwood, of Alabama; Robinson, of Ar
kansas, and Shields and Mcclellan, Of
Tennessee, all Democrats. Senator
Lodge contended that offices of Fedora
judges ought to be reserved for the in
coming Administration and objected to
Mr. CARROTS confirmation on that
ground.
Chairman Wadsworth, of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee, reported the
nominations of several hundred army
officers, including promotions and
transfers in grades below that of brig
adler general, and at his request the
Senate unanimously confirmed them.
More than 1000 army officers, inclad-
ing lieutenants and captains, however,
failed to be confirmed because of OBJ
jections by Senator Mcclellan.
The Senate also confirmed the nomi-
nation of Melvin Fl. Coulston as Com
missioner Of Patents, and confirmed en-
bloc ell the Presidential nominations

Retirement OF Wilson
Interests Paris Press

PARIS March 3-The Paris morning
and evening papers of all shades Of
political opinion devote lengthy articles
TO the change in the administration at
Wa hington, in which comment on the
departure Of President Wilson holds a
larger place than speculation on the
coming Of President Harding
The Temps says: "Presdent Wilson
is an apostle; he believes in principles
as one believes in God. He has failed
in his noble effort, as are bound to fail
all those who wish to act above human
nature as it is constituted
"Woodrow Wilson will remain, how
ever, as a man who understood that
young Americas place was at the side
of the Allies and who dared to un-
sheath the sword to defend right
and liberty For this alone he will re-
main forever in history as great
Am erican.'
Alfred Capus, in lie Gaulois, says:
Among the great figures of the war
President Wilson is probably one whose
standing history will experience the
greatest difficulty in determining. Mr.
Wilson's powers of realization are quite
inferior to those of his Imagination and
thought. He leaves to France bitter
memory"
The Petit Parisien says: "Despite
the bitter attacks to which he has been
subjected, President Wilson will re-
main great in history because he has
been noble soldier of idealism and
humanity"
La Victoire says: president Wilson
leaves the White House less tri-
umphantly than when he entered it
four years ago. There is a tragic
grandeur in the political and physical
collapse of a man who two wears ago
was the moral dictator of the Allied
nations"
The Radical, which represents the
Left Center party, says: History has
rendered justice to Washington and
Lincoln. We do not doubt that it will
place Wilson among the best servants
of the United States. The work of
Wilson was worthy of that of Wash
ington and Lincoln"

w. r. Wilson Given Post
That Tumulty Refused
From The Tr,h,,uc's H'osb;putO,, Pure1,

From The Tr,5unc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 3-With the
dec'ination to-day by Joseph P.
Tumulty, the Presidents secretary, of
the appointment on the International
Joint Commission offered him oy the
President last week, the White House
announced that William B. Wilson,
who retires as Secretary of Labor to-
morrow. had been selected by the Presi-
dent for the post.
Mr.. Wilson's acceptance of member
ship on the commission. which carries
with it yearly salary of $500 and 8
life tenure of office, followed the r"-
fusai Of Mr.. Tamulty to accept the APP
pontment.
To make a place on the commission
for the new appointee, President
Wilson requested the resignation OF
Obadiah Gardner, of Maine, who has
been chairman of the commission for
several years. Mr. Gardner's enforced
retirement from the commission, his
friends declare, came as surprise to
him and at a time when he was en-
gagged in personally handling some mat
ters still in negotiation with the Cana
dian government.
At the time the President offered
the post to Secretary Tumuty it was
thought that Senator Smith. of Ars-
zona, who previously had been given
an appointment to the comu1iss.on, was
to withdraw. Senator Smith had been
issued a commission for the post and

Both Houses in Night SEES
sions i'm Effort to Clear
Up jam of Legislation

WASHINGTON, March 3.--Congress
tonight neared it's end in the usual
desperate attempts to pass eleventh
hour measures. Night sessions were
held by both Senate and House. Many
bills received their death blows in the
final hours OF the session, which numer-
Gus others escaped. The $395, ,000, 900
navy bill appeared to be the only regu-
lar supply bill which would fail
The sundry civil bill, carrying ap-
proximately $3s3, 100000 was accepted
by the House early to-day after the
Senate had struck out its provision for
$10,000,000 appropriation to continue
work on tho Wilson Dam, at Muscle
Shoals, Alabama, and was sent to the
President. The House then recessed
until $3.50 o'clock to-day.
The Senate early to-day adopted the
report of its conferees, recommending
passage of the sundry civil bill with
out the appropriation for continuing
work on the Wilson dam project at
Muscle Shoals.
Insistence Of The Senate on its
amendment making the Wilson dam
appropriation and refusal Of the House
to accept the Senate amendment had
which carries appropriation for hos
pitalization and care of wounded and
disabled soldiers and for dependents
under the war risk insurance act.
Immediately after acting on the sun
dry civil bill, the Senate recessed until
1920 a m. tomorrow.
The army appropriation bill was com
pleted day and sent to the presi-
dent The House accepted the compro-
mise, agreed to by the Senate, for an
army OF 10000 men during the next
fiscal year.
The army budget IS sent to the Presi-
dent contained an appropriation Of
S425,000 for Alaskan roads, a decrease
of $4,000 from the amount carried in
tho bill before it was sent to confer
ence.
Many important bills still remained
in President Wilson's hands without
indication of their fate. These in
cluded the immigration restriction bill,
and the army appropriation bill
1t appeared probable that the bill
for government regulation of cold
storage would be among those saved
from defeat. A new compromise agree
ment in conference was reached and
adopted promptly by the Senate. with
similar action expected in the House.
Squeezed through the jam over the
naval bill also was q new measure ap-
propriating $4,000 900 for hospital ex-
tensions for war veterans. 1t was
passed by the Senate and then by the
House.

President Harding calls together the
new Congress on April almost one
third of the members of the House
will be sitting for the first time One
hundred and seventeen representa-
tives in the Sixty-sixth Congress will
be replaced by new men, ninety Of
whom will be Republicans.
The election Of this large number
OF Republicans gives their party a

tions that many will undoubtedly have
to migrate across the central divid-
ing aisle Of the chamber into the DEM
ocratic side in order to find seats.
Three hundred of the 435 members o.
the House will belong to the majority
seats. One Socialist, Meyer London,
who will succeed Henry NJ. Goldforls,
of New York City, has been elected
to the Sixty-seventh Congress.
The New York delegation will in.
clude seventeen newly elected mem
bers. Of outstanding prominence among
these are Ogden L. Mills, Republican,
and w. Bourke Cochran, Democrat,
whose long previous service in the
Fiftieth, Fifty second, Fifty third.

New Workers. in Congress have. dur
ing The last few days, completed plans
through which, with the aid of the
new members Of the delegation, they
eNpett to make the strength of the
hmpire state felt to the fullest.
Home State Neglected Heretofore
While the delegation is the largest
in the House from any single state, it
has seldom in the past acted as a unit
IN legislative matters vital to New
York. The forty-three members. at
several informal caucuses, have agreed
to have steering committee of their
own. which will act on lines parallel
to t. the IS, steering committee of the
House. They expect also to name a
whip, whose Office will be similar to
that of the whip of the House.
The steering committee for the New
York delegation, Of which Representa-
tive Luther w. Mott, of Oswego, is
chairman, is composed of Representa-
tive Bertrand II. Smell, of Potsdam;
Walter w. Magee, of Syracuse, and
Thomas B. Dunn, of Rochester. Mr..
Smell is already member of the
House steering committee and the
other two have taken prominent parts
in sharing the legislative program of
the 66th Congress. =
State Heavy Taxpayer
The need for this organization is
emphasized, according to members, by
the fact that Now York State PAYS
upward of 40 per cent of all Federal
taxes, while its people number almost
one-tenth of the total population of .he
United States. Many appropriations
and legislative matters, which affect in
no way either the purses or lives of
:esidents of many Southern and West
ern states, they say, are of more than
vital concern to the people of New
York, and for that reason their repre-
sentatives in Congress are entitled to
considerably more power than they
have exercised in the past
"Aunt Alice" Robertson, Of Okla
homa, will be the only woman member
of the new Congress. She succeeds
William B. Hastings, of Muskogee, and
IS the second woman to be elected to
the House. Miss Robertson has been
in Washington for several weeks
browsing around and getting a close
up of how they do things" as she ex-
pressed it.

Clearly, this is no time for the

1t would stand in the way Of the nor
NAL readjustment Of business condi-

as vital to the welfare of this country
as to that of all the other nations. The
United States has duty to itself az

charge this duty by widening, not by

would arise from the proposed duty on

Receives Correspondents


Just before his call at the White
House Mr.. Harding received the Wash

had made the appointment not because
he had any news to give, but because
Z wanted 10 begin his friendship with
them while he still was nothing more
than member of their own profession.
He assured them that they always
would be welcome at the Executive
Mansion and declared that all he asked
in his relationship with them was an
application of the golden rule on both
sides.
Although no formal announcement
was made. it also became known that
virtually the entire White House staff
hat is to serve with Mr. Christian, new
secretary to the President, had been
chosen, although their respective posi-
lions yet are to be assigned. Rudolph
Forster, executive clerk since The first
Roosevelt Administration, is 20 retain
his place, which ranks next 20 that to
he occupied by Mr.. Christian. Several
others who have been in clerical posi-
