" WAR MX BILL TO PASS SENATE TODAY DAUGHTER OF LEADING FAMILY OF PORTLAND WHO WILL WED ONE OF THE CITrS MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELORS. Leaders in Congress Hasten Work to Provide for Adjournment. 3 r INSURANCE BILL OBSTACLE War Credits, Deficiency Appropria tion and Trading-With-Enemy Measures Expected to Be Dis posed of In Fortnight. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. Passage of the $2,500,000,000 war tax bill late to morrow by the Senate after a month's contention is the first major item of an adjournment programme being: framed by congressional leaders. The adjournment fever is in the air, with general acquiescence in a epeed-ingr-up process. Leaders are endeavoring- to close the session next month with the President's legislative pro gramme, including the soldiers' and sailors' insurance bills as the principal stumbling-blocks. Chief features of the programme be fore Congress are: The war tax bill, which will go to conference this week, and probably to the President within a fortnight. The $11,500,000,000 war credits bill, which will be taken up Tuesday by the Senate finance committee. The $4,800,000,000 deficiency appro priation bill before the House. The insurance measure, due to pass the House this week. The Administration trading-with-the-enemy bill, which has passed the House and is awaiting Senate debate Tuesday. As usual the pre-adjournment con gestion Is on the Senate side. The war tax bill is definitely set for passage there tomorrow. While it is in con ference the Senate hopes to pass the trading-wlth-the-enemy and the $11, 000,000,000 war credits bills, possibly within a fortnight, leaving the insur ance measure and the mammoth appro priation bill as the final features. Senate leaders are endeavoring to obtain agreement of Administration leaders to postpone enactment of the insurance bill until December, on the theory that few. If any, American sol diers will be actually in the trenches by that time. The President and Sec retary McAdoo, however, so far have refused to agree to its postponement, and are urging its prompt passage. This may upset hopes of a vacation be fore the regular December meeting. Agitation for a general discussion of peace after the passage of the tax bill apparently has subsided. None of .the Senators who have planned to discuss peace are ready. Senator La Follette is undecided when he will call up bis res olution proposing a statement of Amer ican peace terms. The President's reply to the Pope's peace note has dissipated interest in peace debate. Senate action is planned during the week on bills to curb I. W, W. and other activities interfering with' the conduct of the war. NEW CABINETJJ0T FORMED French Premier's Plans Upset by Socialists' Refusal to Aid. PARIS, Sept. 9. Premier Ribot last evening gave up the task of endeavor ing to reform his ministry, owing to the refusal of the members - of the Socialist party to collaborate with him. A settlement of the ministerial cri sis by the formation of a new minis try under M. Ribot had been expected tonight. M. Ribot, with this idea In view, got to work early this morning and by noon had conferences with Minister of Marine Chaumet. Minister of War Painleve and Minister of Muni tions Thomas, all of whom it was as serted seemed likely to retain their old portfolios. During the afternoon M. Ribot had further conferences with other persons in azx endeavor to har monize the situation, but apparently without success. Army Entertainments Planned. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.

Another surprise for society Miss Elizabeth Jones' engagement to Richard Maurice Dooly, Jr., was " an nounced yesterday afternoon at a de lightful tea for which Mr. and Mrs. Norman N. Rupp were hosts. The news is causing much pleasure among the many friends of the young folk, as both are popular socially, and they are members of old and well known families of this city. The bride-to-be is one of the most lovable and charming of the younger contin gent. She is a daughter of the late Dr. William K.

Miss Jones was one of the brides maids at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Rupp, which was an event of note in May, and Mr. Dooly served in the ca pacity of usher. Delusre of Honors Likely.

Further assisting in the serving were Misses Ruth Teal, Rhoda Rumelln, Cornelia Cook and Sara McCully. i Progress of the War. AGAIN the French and Germans are engaged in extremely heavy fighting in the Verdun sector, with the Germans trying to recoup their losses of tha end of last week on the right bank of th Meuse, but with General Petaln's forces holding them back almost everywhere and covering the ground with their dead. Over a front of nearly two miles the Germans Sunday morning, following unsuccessful attacks Saturday, nighf in the sector of the Bois des Fosses and the Bois des Caurieres, returned to the fray with renewed vigor, especially around Hill 344. At some points French trenches were captured by the Ger mans, but from these they later were driven out and the French line was en tirely re-established. In the fighting around the Bois des Fosses Saturday night .the Germans left nearly 1000 dead on the ground before the French positions. At various , points on the front held by Field Marshal Haig the British troops have delivered successful at tacks, especially northwest of St. Quen tin, where German positions on a front of several hundred yards were cap tured and prisoners taken. In Flandera the British guns are still roaring in .the mighty bombardment that has been in progress more than a fortnight, but as yet the infantry has not been loosed for the Impending dastt into tne enemy territory.

T.IW.wlc. mav T3 lin, strong British reconnaissances south ul jua cassee canai ana along the Scarpe River were without success. The British official communication makes no mention of the forays. "There has been considerable slack ening in the German advance in North ern Russia, due in large measure to the Russians making stands at several points, particularly on the front of the Pskoff railroad line leading eastward from Riga. Here the Germans held back while the Russians are preparing defenses in which to make a stand. On the upper reaches of the Aa River the Germans are gathering their forces for another onslaught. Concentrations of Germans also have been discovered in the regions of Jacobstadt and Dvinsk, probably indi cating that Prince Leopold of Bavaria purposes an extensive operation against me .Russians- in this region. On the lower end of the line In Ron mania the Russians and Roumanians continue to hold the Austrlans and Germans for no gains, notwithstanding violent attacks which have been pre ceded by heavy artillery fire. Although terrible storms have brok en over the Austro-Itallan front, caus ing the rivers to overflow their banks and turning the plains into quagmires, the heavy battle for Monte San Gabriele continues unabated, with the Italians violently attacking, but with th Aus trlans still maintaining the position. On tne earso plateau the battle Jias again lessened in violence, only artillery duels and patrol actions taking place. Unofficial reports are to the effect that the new imnerlnl nunnaii rh.tt. ccllor has informed the Reichstag main committee that Germany may soon d aDie to make known her peace terms. Denials have been made by the Swed ish Minister of Argentina that he sent or caused to be sent by members of the Legation staff any telegram from the German Legation to Germany advising the sinking of the Argentine ships "without a trace being left of them." GOLD STILL TO BE HAD legitimate: debts mat be dis charged IN METAL. Embargo by Administration If ot In tended to Impair Credits of Nation lm Any Way. - WASHINGTON. Sept. 0.-Treasury of- ficlals carrying out the provisions of the President s proclamation requiring the licensing of gold exports will place no general restrictions, it was said yes terday, upon the export of gold in set tlement of legitimate trade balances against the United States. Every transaction, however, will be based upon Its own merits. Practically the only trade balance running against the United States and being paid in gold is Japan s. . , Prospective shippers will be required to snow tnat none oi tne exported gold will find its way directly into enemy hands. The outward flow of gold, it Is thought, will be dammed to a large ex tent oy tne size or the embargo.
