CONGRESS READY TO GO "ALL WAY" TO WIN BIG WAR Administration Heads to Get ; ; All Money Asked, and Any Other Form of Aid Wanted to Make America Win. FORCES, ABROAD TO BE AT MAXIMUM TN 1919 :So!ons Are Willing to Go the Limit for Uncle , Sam ' in Great Battle. SUNDAY SERMON TOPICS; . ? WuMnrton, Nov. 26. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Congress la going resolutely forward "with authorisation (or money and men Xr the prosecution of the war. In trhat- sirer dears the executive department may indicate la necessary. - Few members of either senate or house have so far arrived for the regular ses ston, which opens the . first week in , December, butfthoss who are here, and k those quoted elsewhere, show .unmls : takably what will be done. Secretary 1 MoAdoo may be correct in estimating that not over 110,000,000,000 will need to be provided to finish out the fiscal year, but If these estimates are forced upward . by later circumstances, there will be no hesitation in voting whatever sum la needed. Kxanditnre to Bear Frilt . : j The fruit of these big expenditures, and of other bllHons to be raised and expended in the fiscal year which begins ' next June, la expected to be realised in 1919. During the year 1918 the Ameri can force abroad will be large enough te be a substantial element in proof that the allied nations cannot lose, but the full force of American arms to t demonstrate that the allies can win will be ready In 1910- This thought was expressed in the recent interview of Congressman Medlll McCprmlck, recently returned from the battle . lines, when he said that the Oermana are not winning and added, "Neither are we." His view accords ' ' with most of those,' who have surveyed :: the battle fronts, that from present . front will not be forced until 1919. '' Stresrthcned by Haitian Collapse tThls haa been the opinion of military : men all along. It has been strengthened by the Russian collapse, which was not unexpected, and by the Italian reverse, , which was not anticipated. The essen - tlal situation Is not changed from the ; standpoint of those who believe that the ultimate battle will be fought on th " western front, without regard to what "happens in Russia, and without regard -to the depth of the Teutonic occupation : of Italy. . Intercourse with the allied commanders and military experts has become free ' and Intimate, Congressmen who have , oeen aoroaa are in posiuon to give vaiu able Information to their colleagues, and ail of it tends to the same effect. This 1 to the effect that American strength .must be continuously exerted, -and that congress must supply with unstinted toad the support that is. needed. j Selective Kraft to Stay There la. no Indication that congress will be .asked to change the selective draft law in its general features. There haa been some agitation for reduction of the age limit -from 21 to 19 or 20, but . this la without official indorsement. From the draft law as It stands men " are being assembled as fast as they can , be readily trained, armed . and trans- ported. The call is not for more men. congress wni De asKea, ana win do willing, to adopt measures to hasten the " construction of ships and of aircraft. These are regarded as the most vital parts of the war program where speed may be applied. Rev. A. Ross Kttta, director of young people' wort for Baptist churches of the Pacific coast, spoke at the First Baptist church Sunday morning, - his subject being Thanksgiving In War Times." He took occasion to score the L.W. W. and others who annoy and harass the government. Rev. Mr. Kitt will occupy the church pulpit for the re mainder of the year. The new edifice of the Olencoe Bap tist church was dedicated Sunday after noon 'With Rev. W. B. Hinson as the principal speaker.- Rev. A. B. Waltz, pastor, presided at the services and pas tors of several other churches occupied seats on the platform. The dedication marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the church. Dean E. H. McCoitlster of St. Stephens Pro-Cathedral, Sunday morning urged the people to see the brighter side, the divine light of faith and hope and to work for the establishment of good on earth. He advised moral standards as one of the means of 'getting the nation at. peace with God. "God has delivered the world to its own devices because ft has rebelled against him," declared Dean McColllster, who decried the tendency of some people to tell and read stories with an immortal trend. "To men who think," he said, "one of the most dis heartening aspects is that the large per centage of readers of ' stories of this character are women. No wonder so many of the boys and girls seem to have lost all sense of modesty." Rev. Robert H. iSillfgan, new pastor of the Rose City Park Presbyterian church, preached to capacity congrega tions Sunday morning and night. He la to be tendered an Informal reception Tuesday night He was formerly pastor of the Immanuel Presbyterian church of Tacoma, Washington. Here he succeeds Rev. J. H.
