Great Damage Caused
By Continued Drought
sny A.saelassa Presa,

tBy n AMMtAutEN hEGAAE
NEW YORK. July 26. Millions
of dollars of damage has been
caused by the continued drought
condition as it continues in ten
northeastern states and predic-
tions point to still greater dam
age as reports indicate no relief
in the near future.
Officials in this section of the
country aver that the condition
is the worst that has existed in
the past sixty years.
Extreme water shortage on
farms and in cities alike is caus-.
ing discomfort and danger to-
crops, farm animals and, in the
case of urban districts, some
thirst to humans as rations of
water are being cut for home
consumption Lawns and flowers
are being destroyed in wide
spread areas as a result of Inuni-i
cipal edicts to stop all sprinkling.
Potato crops in the New En-
gland states are reported to be
approximately forty percent
destroyed and other crops are
suffering in like proportion. Dairy
herds are being carefully pro-
vided for, even to the extent of
transporting water for miles.
Forest fires are being fought in
New York state and in Pennsyl-
vania and communities are keep
ing close watch for other fires in
all states effected by the drought.
A hail storm was reported late
yesterday in some sections Of
Pennsylvania very little much
needed water. Rainfall in most
states is far below normal fer the
year as weather bureaus report
no precipitation during the past
two months.
States mostly affected are
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jer-
sey. Pennsylvania and Maryland.

CONGRESS MAY
CARRY ON FOR
LONGER PERIOD
YESTERDAY IT WAS BELIEv
ED BODY WOULD CALL FOR
ADJOURNMENT MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK
tny Asnoelntel Prensl

WASHINGTON, July Is. Yes
terday it was reported on all
sides here that Congress would
adjourn the middle of next week.
Today, the story is different.
Many overnight occurrences took
place that may prevent adjourn
ment for at least two weeks.
Chief of the occurrences was
the circulation of petition in
the House to force a Democratic
Party caucus on the question of
passage of several bills bills
that are favorable to the admin
istration and which seemed in
fair condition to be postponed UNI
til the next session.
Such a~bill is the Housing Au-
thority Bill, which seeks to in
crease the allotment of funds for
housing projects by an amount
near the $80O.OO0,0OO mark. Big
City" representatives were es-
pecially active in bringing pres
sure to bear on this bill as their
constituents would favor such a
measure.
In committee, signs pointed to
either a postponement of the bill
or no reporting to the floor at all,
virtually killing the measure.
The huge two billion dollar
Spending Lending Bill is in de-
bate On the Senate floor today,
being the only bill standing be-
tween this body and adjourn
ment. Facts point. however. to
much debate on the measure,
centering chiefly around the eff
fort to cut the bill down to levels
approximately half of its present
extent
The Senate today heard that
an effort will be made to bring
the subject of abrogation of Jap
anese trade treaties into belated
center of attraction during the
closing hours of Congress.
It IS reported that Senator
Vandenberg is drafting such q
measure, which would serve to
cancel the 1911 Trade Treaty
with Japan and bringin on certain
embargo provisions to take effect
in six months time.

LONDON. July IS. Italy to-
day claimed major attention IN
the European scene as Mussolini
sponsored attacks against the
British IN the Italian press on
the subject of recent fnanuever-
ing in Japan. II appears Il Duce
is quite wrought up when he
considers that the giving in at
stitudea on the part Of Britain in
treatment of the Chinese question
with the Nipponese, will give the
British more time to concentrate
on European problems.
The articles fail to state just
that conclusion. though interna-
tionaI authorities read that frame
of mind on the part Of Mussolini
in between the lines of the dec
Iarations made against England.
n Duce also warned Britain
against extending their test
bombing flights beyond the west
ern shores of the Mediterranean,
stating that dangerous interpre-
tati0nn viii be given to any
flights that extend beyond the
French boundary lines.
