Bryan, lormer Secretary o f State, to come to Washington and confer with,Democrats in re ference to Congressional action forbidding Americans to travel on belligerent vessels. Bryan's Influence Apparrent remarkable feature o f the an- nual report o f Secretary o f the Tre: tury McAdoo is the presenta tie d li f three special reports by mer untile agencies, testifying tc the estoration o f industrial pros- peri y. These reports were made at t io request o f the Secretary him elf. i wo deductions are al unavoidable: first, Mr. Mc- - doubted whether the Amer- lean people would believe that pro- lerrty ha;'returned unless he so in rmed them in his report; an J. second, he doubted whether they vouli accept tne statement O il ti is r.vn authority, and, there- fore kwked it up by the testi- mon o f thre? mercantile agencies, Thi, is certainly not very cornpli- ine-i . u*y either to the intelligence of Li American people or to the re pi lotion o f Mr. McAdoo. We are certainly in a sad state o f a f fairs i f the American people do not know Hi are enjoying pros- perity unless they are so informed by official reports. We are also in a bad way i f reliance cannot be placed upon the statements of the Secretary o f the Treasury un less confirmed by private agencies, »elected b\ hi i.-elf for corrobora tive purposes. W e repeat, this is a remarkable feature of an an nual report of a Secretary of the Treasury. Washington, Jan. 5.—A good story is being told aliout the cap- itol o f some o f the events that happened at the recent Democra tic caucus, which had under con sideration the resolution extending the provisions o f the present “ w a r” revenue tax, for the com ing year. Some o f the new mem- liers o f Congress evidently did not warm up to this proposition, in the ranks o f the Democracy, and they desired a „„no itgm on the sub ject. It is said th ' one new member inquired very minutely into the necessity o f ever putting this “ w a r” tax burden on the Indeed, Mr. Bryan’s finger in the situation has been apparent for some days. He has been work ing not only for this prohibition, but also against prepardness, and it is significant that some o f his friends are representing the argu ments he has made and with which the country is familiar. The division among the Demo crats and the support which these critical o f the Administration are receiving from a few of the Re publicans will be regarded by the central powers as evidence that the United States will not go to the point o f war or a rupture o f diplomatic relations on the sub marine issue. That this view will influence sensibly their reply to future American notes is clearly apparent. Moreover, the Presi dent cannot afford to place him self in the position o f making de mands which cannot be backed up. President Must Change Policy In the light of his relations with leaders in his own party, among whom are Kern o f Indiana and Martin o f Virginia, besides those mentioned, the President is forced to regard the attacks on the Per sia and the other merchant ves sels in the Mediterranean in a way decidedly different from that he entertained when he cut short his honeymoon and hastened back to Washington. It is no secret the President felt he must force respect for the principles he had laid down in his various notes to Germany and Austro-Hungary, even if it should be necessary to break off diplomatic relations. He was indisposed to send more notes. From now on it may be e x a c t ed that a determined campaign will be conducted in Congress against strong action by the Ad ministration. Efforts will be made to prevent Anfericans from travel ing abroad and also to secure an embargo on arms. —Oregonian. rh o to by Am erican I ' i m s Association * MIS* WINIPIIKIl BOLT InU-niatiiuml congress of the blind In tlwt <-|t.v Realizing ivhnt great np|x»r- tunities tbe « n r offered to nltl those who have been rendered sightless, »be came to Paris nud succeeded In gath erlug sufficient funds uinoug American friends to carry uu a limited amount of work with the soldiers.

Many blind teachers have come forward and offered their services to Miss Holt to serve under her guidance. A class In instruction Is held every morning in one o f the large hotels.
