THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 26, 1919. EXTRA SESSION NOW SEEMS INEVITABLE Only Six of Fourteen Big Ap propriations Bills Passed. WHEAT BILL WILL WORRY rood Administration in Bad Odor in Senate From Beglunlg of War. OREGONIA.V NEWS BUREAU, Wash Ington, Jan. 115. An extra session of Congress now seems inevitable, with only six of the 14 big appropriation bills reported to the House and four passed. Many of the Democratic leaders in Congress are opposed to an extra ses sion, but they do not seem to be able to put legislation through rapidly enough to avoid it. Besides the .gen eral appropriation bills yet to be con Bidered and passed, therS is the census bill, one of the most important meas ures before this Congress, which will provide for the Nation-wide enumera tion next year not only of every hu man being in the United States, but also for gathering complete statistics as to every human, industrial or busi ness activity in the country. Still another bill to be disposed of is the one providing for the purchase of the 1919 crop of wheat by the Gov ernment, a measure certain to arouse long and heated discussion, especially In the Senate, where the Food Admin istration has been in bad odor from the beginning' of the war. There are many surer signs of an extra session, however, than the con gested state of legislation. Both houses of Congress are now in the hands of the Democrats. The next House is Re publican by a large margin and it ap pears certain that the Republicans also will organize the Senate. One indi cation of an extra session therefore in that connection is that the present Democratic employes in both the Sen ate and House arc now looking for other employment. A difference of opinion seems to exist between the public health service and the Army school as to the efficacy of the vaccine serum treatment as a pre ventative for influenza and pneumonia. This becomes apparent in the attitude of the two bureaus toward a request for the distribution of some of the serum among physicians in Idaho, made by Representative Addison T. timith. In reply to a request for a quantity of this serum the public health service responded that it was not pos sible to respond to the request, but added that investigations regarding the serum treatment as a pneumonia de terrent had been unsatisfactory. The Army school, on the other hand, ex pressed pleasure at being able to send a quantity of the serum. At memorial services to be held in the chamber of the House of Represen tatives next Sunday, tribute will be paid to the life and public service of the late James H. Brady, of Idaho. Rep resentatives Smith and French, of Idaho, will deliver the opening eulo gies, and will be followed by Repre entatives Little, of Kansas; McArthur and Hawley, of Oregon; Baker, of Cali fornia; Johnson, of Washington; Well ing, of Utah; Austin, of Tennessee; Mondell. of Wyoming; B. L. Fairchild, of New York; "Baylor, of Colorado, and Evans, of Montana. Some of the California members of Congress who have tummcr play grounds and other spots worth a "once over," from the tourist in their dis tricts, find themselves in an awful mess, a really, truly embarrassing pre dicament. Representative Nicholas J. Sinnott, of the Third Oregon district. Is responsible for their troubles. Mr. Slnnott, in a speech on the water power bill in the House, digressed for a moment from the subject under dis cussion to tell the House of Represen tatives and the world about the beauty spots of Oregon in general and Crater Lake in particular. During his flight the Oregon Representative was wafted off into poetry and the nature of his inspiration can best be interpreted by quoting his own language. Among Other things, are these: Crater Lake, cauldron-Uk. and circular, 7000 feet high, is perched amid the peaks. Perpendicular sides of slassy lava rise over a thousand feet from waters of indigo blue lx miles across and two thousand fet deep. To the scientist, a mighty volcano col lapsed within itself. Mount Maz&ma. 15,000 feet high, telescoped. To the poet, "the sea of silence," "a lake of mystery." To me, a shell hole of a war of worlds who knows? Could the great blind poet have seen this marvel ere his pen had Lucifer and his host of rebel angels "Hurled headlong flaming from the etheral sky. "With hideous ruin and combustion, down in Miltonic imagery here he'd have found the impact. vlsts, the reverse to the Russian and Czecho-Slovak forces there being said to be chiefly due to failure of arms t arrive from Vladivostok. Troops Retreat 14 Mllf m. The troops which defended the city have fallen back to Zlatoust, 140 miles to the northeast, where they are mak ing a courageous stand in the gorges of the Ural country. Thousands of rifles have arrived at .the front and have been rushed to Cheliabinsk, which is not believed to be in danger. Military experts here realize that the weak points on the Ural front are be tween Ufa and Cheliabinsk and- further south at Orenburg, where General Du toff's Cossacks are reported to be worn out by constant pressure from- superior forces of Bolshevists. Negotiations for the dispatch of allied contingents to Orenburg are now going on, but have not as yet been brought to a successful conclusion. The capture of Orenburg would give the Bolshevists oontrol of the railroad running into a rich sec tion of Turkestan and would ' increase their ability to resist allied and Rus sian forces. (Unconfirmed reports re ceived in London, January 23, stated that Orenburg had been taken by the Bolshevists.) Reds Are Reorganized. Farther north Bolshevist forces driv en back from Perm when General Gal da's Siberian and Czecho-Slovak troops took that city, have 'been reorganized and are reported fighting desperately along the Kama River. The Bolshev ists are reported to be attempting an advance to the southeast of Perm in the direction of Ekaterinberg. In spite of the fact that the Russian troops and their comrades are without sufficient clothing and have suffered great hard ships, it is believed here that with Gen eral Jules Janin, commander of the Czecho-Slovak army, in charge of mil itary affairs, and with General Knox of the British army, looking after the equipment of the forces, the situation in this section is favorable.

America's job as banker for the allies has been lighter this month than at any time since the Nation entered the war. Only $170,000,000 has been paid out as allied loans since January 1, tlje Treasury re ported today, although payments on this account have been nearly J400, 000,000 a month. The reduction is caused principally by the curtailment of shipments of food, for payment of which American credits had been large ly used. Total credits extended by the Treas ury now amount to J8.588.773.000. but only $7,854,816,000 has been actually paid out under these credits. Credits established and payments made up to today were reported as follows: Great Britain . France ........ Italy Belgium Russia ........ Cuba ......... Serbia Czecho-Slovaks.

Representative Sinnott said he doubted the advisability of appropriating large sums for public buildings at this time although the bill will give his district $60,000 for a building at Hood RfVer and $10,000 for a postoffice site at Klamath Falls. Representative French sent a letter to Chairman Clark of the committee protesting against a building pro gramme in which he said: "This cannot be done on the plea that it will be a means of furnishing employment for labor or a market for materials because experience tells us that it requires two or three years after a bill is approved before work on buildings actually can begin." The building bill which is revived by this direction includes the following Northwest building projects besides those at Hood River and Klamath Falls: Oregon City, $75,000 for building; Corvallis, $10,000 for building " site; Hoquiam, Wash., $70,000 for building.

NEW YORK. A modest home at No. 462 Second avenue was turned from a desolate house of mourning last Friday to one of joy, when news was received by Mrs. Mary Lynch that her son. Pri vate William F. Lynch, of I Company. 308th Infantry, was living and would soon return to her. He had been re ported killed in action at Chateau Thierry and a solemn high requiem mass had been said for him at St. Car mellate Church. He left for France on April 6, 1917. and for several months his mother had not heard from him. On September 24 last she received the dreaded ofTlclal telegram from Washington announcing that he had been killed in action on August 22 in the battle of the Vesle River near Fisme. Mrs. Lynch aged from her grief, and than came a letter from a fellow sol dier In her son's company. George Mc eGe, giving the details of the soldier's death as this friend had been told by another. In the letter McGee said that "Bill and three others, had Post No. 3 and I had Post No. 1, and on August 22. at a quarter of 5 in the morning the Hoc ho put over a barlge which lasted 25 minutes. The infantry advanced on us. but the boys all stuck to their posts. Bill was operating a big machine gun on his post when he received a bullet right through his head, and he just said 'My Ood,' and died." Later a friend of Mrs. Lynch saw her son's name reported in the casualty lists as "previously reported killed in action" and then reported as a prisoner In Germany. Mrs. Lynch at once com municated with the War Department in Washington and received a reply on Friday notifying her he was alive. That same day she received a letter from him, in which he said he was gassed and taken prisoner at Chateaur Thierry and that he was coming home soon. "Don't have any soup ofr me when I get home." he write. "THE STORE THAT UNDERSELLS BECAUSE IT SELLS FOR CASH' The Last Week of Our January Pre-Inventory Sate All Departments Included.
