BUREAU OF THE JOURNAlwriia
present session of the war congress
has found Its work far, more extended
than It was expected to be when It
met In December. The war bills first
in sight led on to others not foreseen,
but deemed essential as the need was
developed In the whirl of war.
With unanimity which few would
have dared predict at the time this
country enterVd the war. congress has
uouiotti sums. Estimates of appropri
ations have been carefully scanned In
committee, but there has been no hesi
tation over the cost, and the billion
dollar bills and authorisations have usu
ally been passed without a. negative
vote in either senate or house.
Aside from the appropriation , bills

of greatest scope probably being the
