different from what has happened

year Of enforced seclusion and as he
does 70 congress rises up to bonn

that, on the one hand, are de-
nounced as partisan and defended
on the other as merely the natural
discharge Of legislative business.
The house of representatives
wants to know in itemized detail
just how Mr.. Wilson disposed Of the
$3.50, ,0O0, 900 fund put at his disposal
during the war and used in part dur
ing the peace negotiations. The
senatorial committees continue to
consider the rumors Of cancelling
foreign Indebtedness as serious and
| take steps to prevent the treasury
from paying to the European gov
ernments money already promised
/ to them to clear up transactions en-
tered into during the war. And the
cables from Paris tell of statements
made to the French chamber ol
deputies to the effect that large
quantities of war supplies wer'

approximately to 100000, 900.
