Washington. — Congressional plans
contemplate adjournment early in Oc
tober.
Speed In the senate alone la essen
tial to carrying this plan Into effect.
The house has almost completed Its
work and conferees are making all
possible haste to reach agreements on
measures that have passed both
houses.
Indications are that the senate will
co-operate, as It rushed through the
trading with the enemy and the war
bond bills last week in record time
and has taken hold of the soldiers' and
sailors’ Insurance bill, one of the two
remaining big measures it has to pass,
with an apparent determination to ex
pedite consideration of It. Cloture
may be resorted to if necessary.
Aside from the Insurance measure
and the $7,000,000,000 war deficiency
bill, most of the big legislation of the
session will be In conference this week.
They Include the war tax, war bond
and trading with the enemy bills.
With unanimous passage by the sen
ate of the Ill.BM.OOO.OOO bond bill,
congress ended a $14,000.000,000 week
Saturday. This Is a record for legis
lative action Involving revenues. The
senate opened the week by passing the
$2,416,000,000 war revenue VU1; the
house passed the $176,000,000 war in
surance bill, and the senate put the
bond bill through, making a total of
$14.127.000.000.

Premier Kerensky's attempt to form
a coalition government failed, but the
crisis has been solved temporarily In
the form of a cabinet reduced In size
and of virtually non-party character.
After the surrender of General Kor-

cabinet, Premier Kerensky in an inter
view said:
‘Announce that the Korniloff ad
venture now is completely at an end
and there is no prospect whatever of

“Our Immediate problems are politi

"I Immediately gave orders to cease

The foreign minister has as yet been
unable to explain the exact circum

The famous academy of l’lato was In
a suburb of Athens, about n mile north
of (he DypUum gate. It is said to have
belonged to the hero Academus; hence
the name. It was surrounded with a
wall and adorned with walks, groves
and fountains. Plato possessed a small
estate in the neighborhood and for
some fifty years taught his "divine phi
losophy" to young and old assembled
in the academy to listen to his wise
words. After Plato’s death in 348 B. C.
the academy lost much of its fame, but
the beauty remained for centuries aft
