Washington, April 20. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) While Representative Kitchin, majority leader of the house, holds out the hope that congress may adjourn by the Fourth of July, this Is not the general opinion at the capttol. Many of the leaders be lieve September 1 would be .a better guess. Most of the big- appropriation bills are yet to be considered, either tn the senate or In both houses. The military and naval bills are among the laggards and may require considerable time. The big group of war bills Is being diminished. -but there are several important, ones to follow. Including the $50,000,000 bill to promote the production of minerals need ed In war. Prospects for Adjourn meat. Waterpower legislation is certain to use up considerable time. This waits upon the house committee, which will soon finish Its hearings With the testi mony of Secretaries Baker and Houston and will then prepare the measure In final shape, along the lines of the ad ministration bill. The old time fighters aera closer together than for a long time, and prospects continue good for action at the present session. As this is a campaign year, when all the members of the house and over one third of the senators are to be elected, congress will want to adjourn In time to give at least six weeks or two months to the work of "winning the Job." Partisan outbursts are becoming more frequent In the senate, where political unrest seems to be most felt. Stone of Missouri, a Democrat, started it, but the Republicans, who were bristling with . criticism, were glad of the opening. Pen rose and his lieutenants have been hap py ever since, talking about Creel, air planes, guns, ships and anything' else where they believed that party ad vantage could be won.

' ' ;.: - Criticism has been ' provoked among some who believe that the field of candi dates ought not to be thus foreclosed by the action of the state machine, which insists upon dictating candidate just as it did before the primary law was en acted. It is the same criticism which was heard in Oregon when the "assem bly" tried the same thing. ' Before , the time of the primary law. North Carolina Republicans railed at the The Democratic convention this year contented itself with framing a platform and arranging the party organization. Senator Simmons will apparently be un opposed In his . own party for another term, but the convention refrained from Indorsing him, holding that this is a mat ter for the voters at the primaries. Lenroot's transfer to the senate ad vances Representative La foiieue or Washington to the ranking place among the Republicans on the house public 1 lands committee and he will become the minority member of conference commit tees when there is a disagreement be tween the two houses. La Follette is of the West and has always favored liberal treatment for Oregon in land grant leg islation. Conference committees usually consist of three members from each house, two of the majority and one of the minority party. Sometimes the number . is In creased to five. In such cases the next recognition will go to Representative Sln nott of Oregon, on the Republican side, as he ranks just below La Follette. Would Follow Lenroot's Example Several members of the house are anx ious to follow the example of Lenroot and change their seats to the senate side. Not less than six of them are already announced as candidates for the senate in various states. Representative Med ill McCormlck wants to succeed Senator James Hamilton Lew is in Illinois. McCormlck has opposition for the Republican nomination, but is expected to win it. Whether he can de feat Lewis in November is much more doubtful. Representative Pat Harrison of Mis sissippl is a candidate as a "loyalist" against Senator James K. Vardaman, who was opposed to the war. The nomi nation there is equivalent to election. The Georgia senatorship also will be settled at the primaries, where Senator Thomas W. Hardwick's opposition to war measures has made a similar issue. One of his opponents is Representative Will lam Schley Howard, another is William J. Harris, until recently a member of the federal trade commission.

ALLY RESERVES ARE INTACT German Commander Appears to Have Met His Match in Foch; Battle's Renewal Is Expected. By J. IV. T. Mates New York, April 20. Today. ends the first month of Von Hlndenburg'a final effort to win the war for the Hohensol lern .dynasty. The German forces have exhausted all of their initial impetus and are now on. the defensive with none of their major objectives attained. Von " Hludenburg has failed to separ ate the French from the British armies : hL has failed to overwhelm Field Mar shal Haig's forces ; he has failed to cap ture Amiens, and he has failed to break through the British lines protecting the roads to the channel porsV. These four repulses have resulted in such frightful German losses that even the ruthless war machine of the bloody house of Hohensollern has been compelled to halt Its destruction of Teutonic manpower. Expected to Beaew Crael Harder Von Hlndenburg'a initiative no longer exists, but an attempt at Its renewal Is probable. 'A permanent halt by the Germans In their present positions means confession that Von Hlndenburg has lost the war for the central powers. With the situation remaining as It Is along the western front, the operation of America's millions of fighting men must ultimately, break the military power of the German autocrats. This fact is so self-evident that it henceforth will be the main factor in determining the major strategy of the German gen eral staff. If Von Hlndenburg can do no more than order his armies to dig in and hold their west front gains, his own reputa tion will fall as did that of his predeces sor. Von Falkenhayn. after the madness of the slaughter before Verdun became apparent to the German people. Rather than submit to this fate. Von Hlnden burg probably will resume his cruel murder of the German multitudes in yet another effort to shatter the British forces and Isolate France from her al lies by the capture of the channel porta. Ally Reserves htm Iataet But the recent fighting has shown that the German strategists are encountering Will their full equal In General Foch. The developments of the WMicibtTt tested Focl' steadfastness of purpose to n extreme degree. It has been Foch's plart throughout the present series ef cors bats to check the German rush without ' the use of the allies' reserve power. If th allies reservv can be save-1 for ef fenrtve 'purposes later, while the Ger man reserves r9 l-Hi slaughter rl- for neager gains, the ultimate advantuft-t Jo the allies will be very sreat.- . , The pressure of the Germans against v Ypres and Hasebrouck was so severs during the past week, however, that strong influences were brought upon Foch to persuade him to use a large part of his reserves for - branedlat counter offensive purposes In that area. . The allies' commander In chief appar- -ently declined to consent to this change , in his plans. He sent some support to the northern sectors but seemingly not ; much. He appears to have timed with splendid Judgment just how farths tm- ' petus of the Oermans would carry them , and where they would be compelled to stop. As a result, the allies' reserves are still intact, and Foch has demon strated that the confidence of the' allies In his Judgment has not been misplaced. Women's Department Hours Lengthened With the enlargement of the women's department of the police bureau, the of . flee will be open from JO a. m. until o'clock. in the morning hereafter. Sine the war department made the ruling that cities near cantonments must be kept respectable places for soldiers to visit.' the local officials have been endeavoring ' to rid the city of questionable women and disorderly houses. - In the recent raids by the men officers they say they have found it difficult to handle certain women prisoners, and the " bureau has been enlarged that women officers will be on duty day and night.'; Mrs. Frankel, acting superintendent ' stated that the bureau will be clad to answer calls until 1 o'clock in the morn , Ing. The department also announced Its Intention of keeping- a closer super vision of public dances, on account of the number of soldiers who now visit the city. The local rollce have expressed their desire to keep Portland as dean a possible in order that the army officials may find no cause to forbH soldier from Vancouver the privilege of visiting here.
