Agreement to press the allied debt refunding bill to a Vote tomorrow, even if it necessitates a nlsht session of tho senate, was reached late today by republican and democratic leaders, after five hours of debate. Opposing: the proposed grant of authority to the debt commission. headed by Secretary Mellon, to ex tend the time of Interest payments at its discretion. Senator Reed, dem ocrat, Missouri, declared that he had no doubt there was an "inside" to this. Senator Simmons, democrat. North Carolina, suggested, and Senator Heed agreed, that the deferment of interest payments on the foreign debt would enable the private holders In this country of five billions of the bonds of the allied nations to realize on their Investment ahead of the American government. Cancellation la aaa-areated. Senator Tteed also declared that if the commission could defer Interest payments for ten years, as he sa'd one senator had suggested might be done In the case of some countries, there could be a cancellation of the whole debt, as the accumulated In terest for 10 or 12 years would about (final the present principal of the debt. The Missouri senator said that be cause of "the environment" in which Secretary Mellon had lived, Mr. Mellon would be the "last man, save one, in this country," to whom he would grant the authority proposed. The one exception, he added, was "Morgan himself," explaining that .T. P. Morgan & Co. had been the financial agent In the United States of the tilled nations during the war. In this connection Senator Reed read to the senate the names of vari ous banks, trust companies and cor porations in which he said Mr. Mellon was interested, including the Alumi num Company of America, which the speaker described aa "an absolute monopoly." Morgaa Interest ' Ckare-ed. He added that these batiks and trust companies were closely affili ated with the Morgan and Allied banks which floated great loans for the allies In this country before war was declared on Germany. Before Senator Reed launched his attack on the bill there waa a debate between Senators Lenroot. repub lican, Wisconsin, and Walsh, demo crat, Montana, as to the constitution ality of the debt bill, and also a plea by Senator Williams, democrat, Mis sissippi, for the cancellation of the debt owed the United States by Bel-glum. this year, showing that the first year of the chest operation has been valu able educationally.

Every member of the squadron has been urged to be present today at 12rlS in the same place, to give com plete reports of solicitations so far accomplished. Determined to be first over the bars in the community chest drive the Lions' club yesterday had its weekly luncheon. Declining to wait for of ficial campaign week and in a spon taneous burst of giving, the members subscribed $100.23 to help fill the chest. The money given has nothing to do with the Individual subscrip tions of members. This is a club con tribution and will be so credited. Lloyd Bates, president of the Colum bia Digger company, was chairman of yesterday's meeting. He brought up the subject of the chest, and the WHAT CONGRESS DID AS ITS DAI'S WORK. Senate.

NOISE TO HERALD DRIVE (fnflnuert From First Vpk advised of tiie daily progress of the drive. Mr. Wells admits that his de vice is not only unusual but unique, and that it cost him at least five minutes' profound cogitation. "Take the stretch from the United States National bank to the Portland hotel along Sixth street." explained Mr. Wells. "AIL set? We'll mark it off In spaces representive of 125.000 contributed to the chest, all the way up to the hotel, or until the goal of J7!i8,777 has been reached. That will leave, of course, a few odd feet and Inches, or dollars, just as you choose to look at it. But you gt the idea? Traveling Ckurat Arranged. "We have a tractor, housed over . with an enormous community chest. A traveling chest, pulling Its way uphill theoretically from the start to the finish. Each day at noon that tractor, that chest, goes forward Just as far as the contributions war rant. A quarter of a block that means so many thousands. And every day, before she moves, we r open that cheat and dump In the money. Not a bad notion, if I do say so, as shouldn't." The special features committee has other plans, other novelties, up Its guileful and capacious sleeve. These it retains aa trump cards, as Inno cent but effective secrets. In reserve for critical campaign moments, .f euch there be. If not, out hey come anyhow. Take it by and large, tne special features programme of the second chest crusade Is wha: is tech nically described as a "bird." 2!tOO Employes Assemble. At 6:45 yesterday afternoon the 2500 employes of the Meier & Frank store, assembled on five floors, were pledged to the community cause at A rally supervised by Fred L. Carl ton of the speakers' bureau. Cam paign orators who addressed them were E. M. Welch, N. R. Jacobson, Kugene Brookings, Judge John H. Stevenson and Hamilton Johnstone. At the outset of the campaign Its leaders are striving to impress the publlo with the need for raising the entire budget. Last year the cue.t failed of Its full objective, with l?t result that the funds then su(.pi'd were sufficient for only nine months. Contributors are urged to increase their subscriptions, and all are urged to invest, that the budget may be financed to the last dollar, which is quite as necessary as the first. "We're In thia drive to put it across." was the way that Colonel Tommy Luke regarded the situation. "It Isn't our drive any more than It Is yours or that of your neighbor. It Is Portland's community chut, and Portland must fill it. Confideniially. I may say that the old town acts as though It would make a short Job of the filling." ' Meeting la Enthustastlr. By far Its most enthusiastic meet ing this week was the flying squad ron's luncheon yesterday In the Mult nomah hotel ballroom, which pepped up the squadroneers to a high degree of confidence in the outcome of the campaign. At the request of Nathan Strauss, a statement had been prepared show ing how contributions In the present drive compared with subscriptions by the same donors last year. Adjutant-General John Hartog submitted this report showing that the same contributors this year so far reached are doing their share. W. F. Woodward, in making his report, said It waa evident that the business community of Portland at least is solid on the advantages of the chest as against former methods that have prevailed in other years in handling the same work. He said doubts expressed everywhere during the last campaign by prospects and contributors are noticeably lacking club went pn record as unanimously Indorsing, it as the approved way of handling charitable enterprises of the community. The Lions' club is a com paratively new organization and this unexpected action on its part was both surprising and gratifying. The club desired to set the pace for all other luncheon clubs, and Dow V. Walker, adjutant-general of the chest campaign, who is a member of the Lions, was present and brought a big roll of greenbacks to campaign headquarters following the meeting. Officers Hold Meeting. Officers of the campaign organiza tion, assembled last night at the White Temple, were exhorted' by their commanders to preach the com munity chest to Portland in such a way that its massage cannot be mis understood. Dow V. Walker, brig adier-general, presided. "This Is a burden Imposed upon every man and woman by virtue of their citizenship," declared Franklin T. Grlffith.Spresident of the chest. "It is a duty as well as a privilege. "How many citizens of Portland are aware that aid for 1800 ex-soldiers of -Portland is Included in Miis budget? That in this budget is an appropriation of $40,000 for the sole purpose of taking care of disabled veterans?" Benefactions Are Sketched. Swiftly the speaker sketched the list of the chest's benefactions- the aid to baby homes, to the aged, to scores of worthy charities, to Insti tutions and organizations that mould citizenship. Of homeless children he said : "It seems to me that this ought to make an appeal greater than any other. What difference does It make from what source the infant sprang the creed or race of its parents? If you deny the right of these poor un fortunates to life you are denying the wisdom of the creator who put them on earth." President Griffith made it clear that It Is not the purpose of the chest to foster pauperism, but tltat in addi tion to aiding those who cannot help themselves, the organization finds self-sustaining tasks for the fit. "We save them their self-respect," he said, "by giving them the oppor tunity to earn a living." Other speakers were C. C. 4Colt, brigadier-general: Edgar H. Sensen ich, brigadier-general; S. L. Eddy, brigadier-general; W. O. Munsell, brigadier-general, and John T. Dou gall, adjutant. Amendment Intended to Prevent Reconditioning Unless Con gress Acts Is Rejected. WASHINGTON. T. C. Jan. 17. The house refused today to attach to the independent offices appropriation bill an amendment to prohibit the shipping board from proceeding with the reconditioning of the Leviathan without obtaining an appropriation from congress for the purpose. Representative Graham, republican, Illinois. offered the amendment, which would have placed a $1,000,000 limitation on the amount the ship ping board could expend for repairs on any one shin without congres sional authority. Refitting of the Leviathan, it was said, probably would cost at least $8,000,000. The Graham proposal was rejected by a viva voce vote, after the house had adopted an amendment, offered by Representative Ballinger. repub lican, Massachusetts, to authorize navy-yards to submit estimates for the repair of shipping board vessels. On a point of order by Representa tive Byrnes, democrat. South Caro lina, a provision continuing for an other fiscal year the authority of the board to retain for its own use $55,000,000 derived from the sale of its property was eliminated from the bill. During hearings before the appro priation sub-committee, which framed the measure. Chairman Lasker esti mated that during the current fiscal year the shipping board would derive about $25,000,000 from this source and asked that tho extension be granted, so the remaining $30,000,000 could be obtained as the liquidation process continues. Mr. Byrnes held that the continuing provision was a' legisla tive section which had no place in any appropriation bilL When the house adjourned late to day it had before it an amendment by Mr. Byrnes, limiting to $400,000 the amount the shipping board could spend on publicity and advertising during the coming fiscal year. Budget estimates call for an expendi ture of about $900,000. During debate on various amend ments, the shipping board was com mended by Chairman Madden of the appropriations committee, who de clared it was functioning satisfac torily and would in the very near future be. able to make a creditable showing in its operations. The bill, which in addition to funds for the shipping board carries ap proximately $377,000,000 for the vet erans' bureau, probably will come to a vote in the houue tomorrow. BABIES GROWING SCARCE Prohibition and Modern Woman Play Havoc With Adoptions. CHICAGO, Jan. 27. Prohibition and what he termed the "Independent at titude of modern women" have re sulted In such a scarcity of babies that the Child Welfare League of America for the first time Is unable to meet the demand for babies to be adopted, C. C. Carstens of New York. director of the organization, said in an address at the league's middle western conference tonight. "If you want a baby for adoption, get one now, for soon you won't be able to," he said. "There are reWer oabies being born in the better class homes because of the Independent attitude of modern women. After a girl has been mar ried a while, however, she realizes there? is something missing in her home. Then she turns to adoption as the easiest way out. but finds prohi bition nas so decreased the number of dependent babies by improving conditions in the lower class homes that the demand far exceeds the supply." $16,975,763 IS PROFIT United Fruit Company Earns Equivalent of $16.07 Share..
