OltEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 17. The political com
plexion of the next House of Represen
tatives will be such as to make It
practically. If not quite Impossible for
the Wilson Administration" to force
through any purely partisan legisla
tion. This means that whatever of a
partisan nature the President may
want from Congress must be enacted
at the short se&slon which opens on
December 4.
The coming session Is limited by the
Constitution, and must end on March 4,
regardless of the state of business. In I
those three months Congress must
pass all the appropriation bills, other
wise a special session of the new Con
gress will have to be called.
o One Wants Summer Session.
This further means that It -will be
within the power of Republican Sen
ators. If disposed, to hold- up by fili
bustering any Administration meas
ures which they do not approve, and
which are called up for action at the
short session. There Is no desire for
an extra session next Summer. Demo
crats desire as strongly as Republicans
a long rest after March 4, and for this
reason there is likely to be no stub
born resistance if Republicans under
take a filibuster.
However, before they can Intelligent
ly and successfully exercise the power
that has been placed In their hands,
the Republicans of the next House
must perfect an organization, must
profit, by the lessons of the past and
more distant elections, and build up a
working machine. The narrow margin
by which the House will be controlled,
and the power thrust into the hands
of five members who do not belong to
either big party, makes it necessary
for Republicans to work absolutely as
a unit. A few dissenting Republican
votes would give the Democrats con
trol of the House.
Contest Must Be Decided.
If the Republican members of the
next House, when they come to perfect
an organization, display a degree of
Judgment the have not shown in the
past, and if they work out a plan of
control which will bring to their sup
port two or three of the independent
members, they will be able, as the first
session of the 65th Congress progresses
to increase their majority slightly, for
there will be election contests and It Is
always a matter cf practice to decide
these contests In favor of the party In
control. If that party is sorely in need
of votes. Only when the most glaring
fraud has been shown has a party in
control of the House seated members
of the minority when votes were
needed, as they , will be next year In
the House of Representatives.
The small margin by which the Re
publicans seem to control the next
House is so narrow as almost to be
alarming, and only by holding all
members will the Republicans be able
to make use of their advantage. Re
publicans from Eastern states who
have spent much time away from
Washington during the first Wilson
Administration will be required to re
main In Washington, and leaves of
absence will be few and far .between,
andwlll be granted only when depart
ing members are paired on all impor
tant questions likely to come up for
consideration.
House Can Formulate Tariff.
The Senate and the President being
Democratic, the Republican House can
not, and will not, expect to see the
enactment of partisan Republican
measures, but the Republican House
can do what the Democratic House did
during the last years of the Taft Ad
ministration; it can formulate and pass
tariff bills based on the protective prin
ciple; it can pass legislation designed
to meet the commercial situation which
will confront the United States after
the war ends in Europe; it can pu
through bills based on facts disclosed
by the new tariff commission, if that
commission Is allowed to make re
ports, and In that way it can test the
sincerity of President Wilson, who de
clared, in the recent campaign, in fa
vor of tariff revision to meet new con
ditions, and who asserted that he was
not wedded to a partisan tariff.
All this material will go to , make
campaign ' ammunition to be used i
the Congressional campaign two years
hence.
Senate Mar Be Regained.
In the next Congressional campaign
S3 United States Senators are to be
elected; of the 32 Senators whose terms
will expire on March 4, 1919, 20 are
Democrats and 12 are Republicans. If,
two years hence, the Republicans gai
seven Senate seats, they will have con
trol of the Senate In the last two years
of the Wilson Administration. The

"Americanization" Is to Be Keynote
of Milady's Wardrobe
Next Spring.
CHICAGO, Nov. 17. (Special.) No
hothouse of gay blooms could have fur
nished a more brilliant display man
was' seen today at the conference on
advance Spring styles. , which was the
opening feature of the 15th annual
convention of the National Cloak, Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers' Association.
Huge ehlrred and pleated pockets,
long trails of silken fringe, loose stitch
ing, variegated embroidery and large
buttons form some of the trimmings
which were shown. One of the star
tling suits was a eports garment of
green wool Jersey, trimmed In deep
cream Jersey. Another suit, of brown
taffeta, the color of young Spring sap
lings, was made to suggest an opening
leaf -with lapels; -coat. BkirU and cuffs
finished In points. Color combinations
that ranged from mffenta trimmed In
orange to plaids -of the most vivid yel
lows and greens, made the gowns, as
they were worn by the pretty models,
suggest an Oriental bazaar. '
"The cut of the garments Is to be
long and straight, rather than frilly
and voluminous as during this season,"
declared M. A. Black, chairman of the
style committee. "The skirts are to be
lengthened to the ankle, and the trim
mings will be placed to emphasize the
lines of the garments."
"Americanization of the styles' Is to
be keynote of the convention.

Sole Survivor of Sunken Ves
sel Unable to Testify.
SUBMARINE IS DAMAGED
Ketnrn to Port Found Necessary
and Homeward Voyage Will Bo
Delayed Several Days Bow
Plates Are Stove In.
. XEW LONDON", Conn.. Nov. 17. A
collision, which caused the merchant
submarine Deutschland to abandon her
return voyage to Germany almost at
its outset early today, when a convoy
ing tug. tje T. A. Scott, Jr., was sunk:
with a crew of five men. was the sub
ject of federal investigation this after
noon. The United States Inspectors of steam
vessel, headed by Captain W. E.
Wlthey. heard through witnesses of the
conditions under which the submarine,
slipping out of the harbor in the dark
ness, so that she might submerge In
neutral waters before daybreak, ran
down the tug, which wast acting as her
protector, off Race Rock. Just outside
this port. The testimony came from
Captain Paul Koenig. of the Deutsch
land; Trom F. W. KrapohU his chief of
ficer, and from Hans Kleese, his chief
engineer.
Collision la Accident.
It was given In secret, but It became
known through 6tatemenus outside the.
chamber that the collision was an sccl
dent. Survivors who would discuss the
matter were agreed that It was due to
a combination of swift currents which
carried the tug off Us course and serosa
the bow of the submarine, and to the
semldarkness, which was to be the
Deutscliland'a medium of safety but
which instead prevented ready obser
vation of the danger ahead. Captain
Koenig would say only to questioners:
It's a terrible thing to lose those
good men. I feel It deeply, lou must
excuse me."
Sarrlvor en Tub; to Be Heard.
Before the inspectors fix blame for
the loss of the Scott and her crew, they
will hear the testimony of Captain
Frederick Hinsch. an official of the
Eastern Forwarding Company, who was
the only survivor of the tug. Captain
Hinsch was thrown from the deckhouse
of the tug on which he was standing
into the rushing water of the race,
where he was rescued. almost ex
hausted, by the crew of the tug Cas-
sle. following behind. Captain Hinsch.
was unconscious after the accident and
tonight was still so exhausted that it
may be several days before he will
be able to testify.
Captain Harry Baker, of the Cassle,
and some of his crew also will be
called to tell what they saw.
The Deutschland's return will be de
layed only a few days, estimated vari
ously from two days to a week, by the.
damages which she sustained and not
at all by the fact that inquiry Is being
made.
Submarine' Dow Stove In.
Examination of her bow today showed,
that three plates had been stove in to a
degree described by some as a hole"
and others as "a dent." Her stem was
twisted to starboard but the general
structure of the submarine was said to
be firmly in place, notwithstanding the
force of the Impact, which sent the
tug to the bottom within a few min
utes. The men of the Scott had no chance
for their lives. They went down im
prisoned in the pilot-house, engine
room or galley and undoubtedly were
drowned at their posts. It Is doubtful
If their bodies ever will be recovered.
although the T. A. Scott Wrecking Com
pany, which owned the tug. was con
sidering tonight an effort to raise the
craft to obtain the bodies.
The Deutschland had moved quietly
out of her protected pier early this
morning and slipped down the Thama
River to the sound under doublo con
voy of tugs. She carried a cargo es
timated to he worth about 12.000.000.
composed principally of rubber and
metals, which Germany needs In mak
ing of munitions of war.
Tide nips Catch Tog Unawares.
To starboard was the T. A- Scott. Jr,
slightly advanced and acting as pilot.
The submarine, moving on the surface
at a speed of about 10 knots, was
about 600 yards behind, and half a mile
astern the tug Cassle followed as ad
ditional protection. Reaching the race,
the several vessels slowed down to
cross the eddying currents of the pass
age at lower speed.
The tide tuns swiftly through the
race and one of the rips apparently
caught the tug unawares. This ap
peared to be so to Captain Koenig. who,
with Chief Officer Krapohl. was on
the Deutchland's deck. In the darkness
the Scott -ra. forced Into the subma
rine's course. The collision resulted
without discovery by anyone of its im
minence and the tug sank almost at
once. The Deutschland was able to
return to her dock unassisted and, lu
fact, could have continued her voyage
without great danger, according to one
official who saw her today, as her dam
age did not extend below the water
line.
Her repairs and her stay In port are
surrounded bv the same secrecy that
