National defense, or ; pre paredness as it is now more 'common ly termed, with "measures for" war, and the ship purchase bin,' are out standing, issues that will keep the congressional orators in training dur ing the winter.. There is a mass of other legisla tion comprising the largest, longest and most important program of a decade. Since adjournment of the 3rd congress last "March a score of ' new aid vital Questions have arisen In addition to many left over. Con tinuation of this 'session well into next summer is 'predicted. The democratic majority in the senate was increased from IS to 16, In the house it was .reduced from 143 to 25. .The new senate line-up was: Democrats, 56; republicans, 40. The new house: Democrats, 230;, re pnbllcans, .196; progressives, 7; so clalists, 1; independents, 1. The last house had 285 democrats, 125 re publicans, 17 progressives and 1 in dependent. Both legislative and political In terest centered in the - administra tion's billion-dollar national defense program. Whether democratic op position would defeat the president's plans and also cause a breach in the democratic solidarity 'for the next campaign, caused much discussion. Presentation to congress of the annual appropriation estimates in sured another billion dollar congress. Increased expenditures for the navy and army preparedness program bulged the requests. ' THE SUGAR FACTORY. There are no new developments In the situation as regards the sugar factory campaign. A number of the contracts that were signed up for acreage, both here and in the Med . ford district, contained interlined clauses that were not in all cases ac ceptable to the factory people, ; and to make them count upon the amount of acreage necessary to assure the building of the factory they must be made to conform to the other con tracts. The local committees are now attending to this, and nearly all of them can be remedied. . The location of . the factory in the valley some where depends only upon getting the required acreage contracted for in a manner acceptable to the ' factory builders. While' there are many rumors concerning the location of the factory, none of them are author ized, and Mr. Mbley and his asso ciates will not come to the valley to select the site till they are assured that the acreage Is ready. The Grants Pass committee has at ' all times worked, and Is stlllworklng, with the purpose of getting the acreage only in view.

Pope Benedict In the consiatorial hall today held one of the most Important conclaves in the history of the Roman Catholic church.. From his allocution Vatican circles hoped there would develop .moves ior an early end of the war. The first steps of the new consis tory were to create six new cardinals aa followa: Monsignore Alfonso Maria Mis- trangelo, archlhlshop, of Florence. Monsignore Gullo Tonti, nuncio at Llsborn. , ' , Monsignore Giovanni Cagliero, nuncio for Central America. Monsignore Andreas Furwith, Austrian nuncio at Munich. Monsignore Rafaello Scapplllno, nuncio at Vienna. Monsignore Glrogio Gusminl, archbishop at Boulogne. A seventh archbishop is secret and will be announced later. It was known that the pope would exhort the cardinals to renewed peace efforts and detail again the horrors of trie war. Cardinals Bourne and Gasquet of England, Caibrlerez of France, and Hartmann at Germany are attending. Each, it is believed, brought his gov ernment's petice views, and from these exchanges of Ideas, it is felt,' may spring the beginnings of peace Rome, Dec. 6. The pope's allo cution today contained a stirring ap peal for early peace. " Told Her How.

Where 45S.S5S pairs of feet trampled through the scenes of beauty Satur day, vans, motor trucks, grimy freight trains and equally (rimy workmen today scurried through the fast approaching wreckage of the Panama-Pacific . exposition, where there was sentiment and beauty last week,, there is commercialism and wreckage today. Around the once magnificent courts, gardens and palaces there are thousands of packing crates instead of thousands of admiring spectators. The Tower of Jewels, which since February 20 has been monarch of all it surveyed,' today trembled as the dawn of its extinction appeared. Through the various avenues and courts railroad tracks, hidden for 10 months under millions of hurrying feet, bore rumbling freight trains, carrying paraphernalia for the cart ing away of the exhibits. Uncle Sam has the right of wsy In the clearance of his exhibits for the federal displays will be taken at once to the Panama exposition.

The new Eng lish campaign to capture German Cast Africa, the lust remaining col ony of Germany in Africa, has been placed in the hands of General Louis Dotha, South African premier. Ostensibly the South Africans are given control of the campaign be cause the Germans are arming the blacks and preaching a holy war against the English. Really, how ever, they are In command because the blacks defeated small British forces who la haphazard fashion tried to conquer St 4,000 square miles In the colony. . Although there are scarcely 5,000 German colonists In this colony, they have organised re spectable fighting units of natives. llltlTlSH TROOPS RRTHKAT i mo miles from bagd.vd London, Dec' I. -General Towns bend, who was forced to retreat from the vicinity of Bagdad, has reached Kut-El-Amara, his base, 160 miles from Bagdad, without further fight ing, official announcement said today.

Soldiers 19 years old, constituting the 1917 class, will be called to the colors by Russia early next year, according to Petro- grad dispatches today. Washington, Dec. 6. The fight for selection of a city for the democratic national, convention next summer opened In deadly : earnest today. Representatives of San Francisco, St. Louis, Chicago and Dallas were on hand, talking In money terms. Dallas had the coin to show. The various other cities were ready to offer guarantees, all of them attrac tive. St. Louis claimed to hare sev enteen pledges already from national committeemen. " Meantime the president withheld any advice as to where the conven , tion should be held. Some backers said San Francisco had a . good chance. Others shouted as loudly that their cities would be selected. Reports that Fred Lynch of Min nesota, or Homer Cummlngs of Con necticut might succeed Chairman McCombs of the national committee were unconfirmed, (but there was, nevertheless, some talk of a fight against McCombs. Tom Taggart of Indiana said that talk of replacing Marshal as vice-president had start ed a boom for Governor Ralston of Indiana as the president's running mate. "The Obliging Proprietor.
