their movements from the Germans,
the exact time Is withheld.
The senate Is expected to get quirk
action on the bill after It passes the

Confident predictions were made
today that the plan will pass. What
army men now want Is speed and the
pressure Is being exerted to that end.
Arrival of Balfour, Vlvlanl, Joffu
and other distinguished allies wl:l
mark the Inauguration of the most
complete harmony between America
and the entente.
Chief among the purpore of the
allied visitors will be to council

out of the question.
; If Russia chooses, she eoutd have
