WASHlXGTOX,.reb. 24. (Special.)
There will be no extra session of Con
jrrees unless war -with Germany should
take place. The first and most impor
tant step toward avoiding: the extra
session was takem tonight when an
agreement was reached 'by the Demo
cratic and Repuollcan floor leaders to
vote on the revenue bill Hon day morn
ln. Senator La Follette is the only
member of the Senate who la with
holding his consent to the agreement.
It is hoped to bring: him promptly into
line.
Once the revenue bill is out of the
way. the Senate proposes to srrind
teadily away at the appropriation
bills which remain to be passed.
There is still a tense situation in the
Senate, but the leaders believe it can
be. alleviated. They still profess con
cern over the desire of the President
for blanket authority to deal with Ger
many and there is no question that the
majority, if they had their way. would
not give it to him. Bat there are
patriots as well as politicians in the
upper house, and they do not propose
to turn down a Presidential recom
mendation in connection with foreign
affairs and thereby give an impression
of division abroad.
Hnae Wets Are Aigrr.
In the House the "wets" are angry
over the adoption of the Smoot "dry
bone" amendment, and threaten that if
the District of Columbia prohibition
bill should be passed, they will defeat
the conference report on the revenue
bill.
Secretary McAdoo today went to th.e
Capitol and conferred with Senator
Simmons and others, and it was decided
to make concessions on the revenue
bill which would satisfy objecting
llepublieans.
The President will go before Con
gress on the international question
early in the week. In the meantime he
is being kept informed of the temper
displayed both by Democrats and Re
publicans. Senator Fall indicated the attitude of
Republicans by introducing a bill to
day proposing to give the President the
same power that Congress gave Presi
dent Adams to deal with the French
spoliation operations In 1799. The bill
was referred to the Senate foreign re
lations committee. There it will be
buried.
Strange Alliance Blade.
Regret was expressed y Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela
tions committee, that Mr. Fall had in
troduced such a measure, he and other
Administration representatives fearing
that premature discussion would em
barrass the Chief Executive and give
a false Impression abroad, however
Congress acted.
It is certain that practically all the
Democrats will vote for whatever meas
ure the President desires. Some of the
Republican Senators want to have Con
cress in session to force the President
to adopt a stronger foreign policy, par
ticularly with reference to the arma-
ment of ships. They are in a curious
alliance with the pacifist members,
who are anxiohs for an extra session
to curb Mr. Wilson.
The President had a conference this
afternoon with Vice-President Mar
shall, Senator Stone and other Sena
tors. International affairs were not
discussed. The Vice-President and the
Senators also desired a certain appro
priation made.
Mr. Wilson Is deeply concerned over
the domestic situation, caused by the
German intimidation blockade and by
the operations of German submarines,
which continue to imperil American
life.
One American Endangered.
Most of the vessels with Americans
on board have been sunk after warn
ing, but in the case of the Norwegian
steamer Alice, the American Consul re
ports that she was cannonaded with
out warning and the lie of Theodore
Joseph, an American, was endangered.
Joseph fortunately escaped.
The President and his advisers real
ize that this situation cannot continue
indefinitely and that something must
be done to terminate it. A policy of
patience is being deliberately pursued,
but it ia realized that misunderstand
ing respecting it prevails abroad, espe
cially in Germany. The President is
prepared to act, but he does not want
to do so unless there should be a case
which will satisfy the country that he
must adopt forcible measures. Sena
tors have been assured that even un
der the extensive authority he desires
he will proceed cautiously.
. . Dutch Are Aroused,
The Dutch Minister made a vigorous
statement today, objecting to the ruth
less destruction of Dutch ships. Up to
this time Holland has merely protested
against the operations of German sub
marines upon her shipping. The gov
ernment, it is said here, ma;- be forced
to take more drastic action. .
Chevalier Van Rappard, the Dutch
Minister, said that "the situation is a
horrible one, which must soon come to
an end."
Holland must have grain from the
T'nited States if her people are to be
fed, the Minister said during a conver
sation with a. representative of The
:Oregonian. Holland Is no longer able
to obtain wheat and bread from Ron
mania and itussia, from which coun
tries she received grain befora the con
quest of Roumania by the Germans.
The minister believes that some of
the difficulties of the submarine war
fare situation, so far as his country is
concerned, could be obviated if the
British ship examiners representing the
allies could arrange to examine ships
on a large and broader scale at Hali
fax, so that ships In larger numbers
coifld proceed to Europe by way of the
Northern course Qutside of the sub
marine danger zone.
Pastor Weds Pair Across Creek.
BLUEFIELD. W. Va.. Feb. 17. The
rushing waters of Big Brush Creek,
whtch separated Miss Minnie Bennett
and George Vance, armed with a mar
riage license, from the minister. Rev.
W. A. Sanders, seemed an insurmount
able obstacle to their marriage, as
neither the minister nor the couple was
willing to ford the stream. The young
woman, however, conceived a plan
which was carried out. The contract
ing parties assembled as close to the
shore as wae possible on one side of
the stream and the minister on the
other side, while the minister from his
Hide shouted the words that made the
couple one. .

VETO DECLARED UNFAIR
J. C M'CIE SAYS GOVERNOR WAS
NOT CORRECTLY INFORMED,
Explanation Is That Money. Was Ad
vanced by Chinese When Extra
dition Fund Was Gone.

parently misinformed when he vetoed
an appropriation for $328.45 to cover
the cost of the arrest and return from
Chicago to this city in February, 1914.
of Toy Yoke and Wong Wah, Chinese
wanted here on a charge of robbery,
was the belief expressed by John C.
McCue, Portland attorney, yesterday.
Mr. McCue was instrumental in hav
ing the appropriation voted by the
Legislature.
Mr. McCut said that at the time the
two Chinese were returned to Port
land for trial the extradition fund
of the state had been exhausted and
the money for the return was advanced
by Ah Hong, Chinese victim of an
alleged robbery. The money as a con
sequence, he said, is etill due Ah
Hong.
"'The Governor vetoed the appropria
tion after he had been informed
through District Attorney Walter H.
Evans that P. R. Moloney, Portland
detective, who brought the Chinese
back from Chicago had been reim
bursed," the attorney said, "the ex
ecutive apparently being under the im
pression th .t the appropriation was' to
reimburse Mr. Moloney, when, as a mat
ter of fact, it was to reimburse Ah

LONDON, Feb. 24. The statement in
the House of Commons by David Lloyd
George, the British Prime Minister, of
the government's plan to meet the seri
ous situation due to the shortage in
tonnage has been received by the press
with universal approval, and in many
cases with enthusiasm.
Even newspapers which are least
friendly to the government accept the
government's restrictions uncomplain
ingly, and declare that the nation will
loyally respond to the plan.
"It is a small sacriflce." said the anti
Lloyd George Daily News, "that the
citizen at home Is called upon to make.
In comparison with the ordeal others
daily are facing for his security across
the sea."
Many Articles Restricted.
In the long list of articles' prohibited
importation are coffee, cocoa, tea, raw
fruits except lemons and oranges
hides, leather, boots and shoes. A
speeding up in agriculture and ship
building is embraced in the Premier's
scheme, and a lessening in the output
or oeer is also provided for in it, in
order to save for food the cereals used
in brewing.
The brewers will be permitted to
make only 10,000,000 as against 2,
000,000 barrels in 1918. A correspond
ing restriction is also placed upon
spirits. There Is alarm In some quar
ters over the new order of thine- It
being generally recognized that trade
will be seriously affected.
Premier's Action Acclaimed.
The newspapers which onooaed the
old coalitions write enthusiastically of
tne country s having found a fearless
leader, and declare that the measures
now proposed ought to have been taken
two years ago. The hope is expressed
in some quarters that that section of
the British people which hitherto has
indulged in the comfortable conviction
that nothing serious can haDnen to
them will be Jerked out of their easy
complacency by the Premier's declara
tion that the food stocks are alarm
ingly low.
The Liberal newspapers criticise ad
versely some details of the scheme.
The Daily News, for instance, is in
dignant mat iu.ooo.ooo barrels of beer
will be allowed to be brewed. This
newspaper also reaffirms that the agri
culture production cannot be increased

Commandeering; May Be Xecessary.
The Daily Chronicle maintains- that
If farm restrictions are to be minimized
the new measures -must be accom
panied by many other measures, and
also by a good deal of commandeer-
in?.
Referring to the restrictions on caner
the Daily Chronicle suggests that the
government, which now occupies large
space in the newspapers with the offi
cial announcements, should now dis
cover other means for publicity.
i-verywhere it is recognized that the
ordinary routine of trading will be seri
ously affected, but it is too early yet
to give any reliable indications in this
direction.
Some traders have Issued a statement
which shows that considerable alarm
exists in some quarters; for Instance, in

A prominent life Insurance company,

from kidney diseases. Since fully 60,

Interest in the health of their kidneys.
Now the kidneys work day and night to
protect the blood and body from an

substances. They perform their func

' and needs modernizing. They tven admit now that the Advertising
Dentist is human perhaps their equal and that Advertising of
itself is NOT WRONG.
DR. II. C. SEXTON, SHELBYVILLE. IND.. in a recent issue
of the DENTAL SUMMARY, says to his Ethical Brethren:
"We know that bad teeth mean sickness, disease and death. We
know that 80 per cent of school children have carious teeth. We
point out these terrible truths we create a demand for Dentistry
and what have we done to supply this demand? I'll tell you what
we've done we HAVE INCREASED OUR FEES we have done
scarcely anything else. We have introduced many new appliances
into practice and almost invariably the strongest plea that is made
for them is that we can get more money from our patient.
AND LISTEN TO THIS:
"Is it not useless cruelty to educate (the public) to the need of
Dental Work and then deny it to them on account of expense? We
RIDICULE THE SO-CALLED 'QUACKS FOR EXTRACTING
TEETH FOR TWENTY-FIVE CENTS AND FOR MAKING A
RUBBER PLATE FOR $5; BUT I WILL TELL YOU MANY A
POOR MAN, AND MANY A POOR MAN'S FAMILY, HAS HAD
CAUSE TO BLESS THE SO-CALLED QUACK OFFICE. It has
enabled him to have Dental work done it has made his children
comfortable and healthy. YET LEFT HIM HIS SELF-RESPECT
BECAUSE HE HAS NOT BEEN AN OBJECT OF CHARITY.
"In the long list of Dental operations the one that is doing the
most good for suffering humanity and making the most money for
Dentists today IS THE ONE-DOLLAR AMALGAM FILLING. It
is a blessing to mankind, and a greater blessing to childhood.
Dr. Sexton concludes his long and able article by saying:
I have heard many papers read suggesting how we could raise
our fees I have not heard one read suggesting means to reach the
suffering poor and help them. We meet chiefly to talk about
raising our fees to tell what we get for operations and complain
because we do not get more. When a profession puts all its en
deavors to squeezing the most money it can get out of its patients
in the least possible time it becomes unworthy of the name of pro
fession and puts itself on a par with pawnbrokers. (I person
ally apologize to the pawnbrokers.)
One Dentist mentioned by Dr. Sexton stated he made $25 per
working hour. If he worked ten hours a day that is $250 a day
$7500 a month, $90,000 a year. Do you think he EARNS IT?
Do you wonder the profession that puts the dollar sign ahead of
the golden rule objects to the Advertising Dentist's giving the pub
lic low prices ?
REMEMBER, any one can cut prices, but it takes BRAINS to
turn out better work.
REMEMBER!
Most any dentist can pull a tooth and not hurt you. It doesn't
take much of a mechanic to drill out a small decay in your grinder
and fill it up. BUT let me tell you this: If you want a full upper
or lower bridge, with only two or three teeth left for attachments
it takes a man with experience in that particular, branch of the
profession or you will be sadly disappointed in appearance of it,
in the wearing quality and in the most important feature of it all
