THERE IS MUCH WORK AHEAD
Six Members of House Are Can
didates for Elevation to Senate
in Various State Campaigns.
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.

publican convention . of two years ago,
and has "recommended to the party vot
ers a set of-candidates to be voted for
at the primaries, "from United - States
senator down. ; . ' ' ;.: -
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. Harris is re
garded as the administration candidate,
but Howard' is an equally consistent sup
porter of t the wr.

HUNS IN MONTH
OF DRIVE HAVE
FAILED TO
Not a Single Objective Sought
. by VonHindenburg Has Been
Attained; Losses Are Terrific.
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. "
