One by one they have drifted-home to Bismarck, almost these free-lances, discharged branches of the service, coming home singly, and alone.

Washington, March 4.—Congress went into the final hours of its war session today with leaders of both sides conceding defeat of the deficiency appropriation bill which carries an appropriation of 750 million to continue the federal operation of railroads. Adjourn at Noon easy Congress adjourned at noon today in the midst of a republican filibuster in the senate which killed many important measures. One of these was a bill appropriating $750,000,000 for the federal administratio nof the railways, without which, it is said, the rail- roads must be returned to their owners not later than April 1. _ Just before adjournment President Wilson in his capital office announced to the republicans that their efforts to bring an imme- diate special session had failed; that he was determined not to call a special session until his work at the peace conference was concluded. ‘ The war congress marks the passing of democratic control at the capital. Lies Big bills that failed included the army and navy appropriation measure.

C., Mar. 4.—By a League of Nations as now drawn. As a counter measure Senator Lewis of Illinois, democratic whip, proposed that the senate adopt resolutions approving all proper measures to effect a league of peace. Senator Jones endeavored to procure unanimous consent to present a favorable committee report on woman suffrage, but the democratic senator refused to yield the floor. The president authorized Senator Martin to announce that under no circum- stancés would he alter his determination to postpone the calling of a special session until his return from France. The president has received all advice on the matter of federal control of railways without comment. ek Upon the adjournment of congress today the president issued a statement to the effect that a group of men in the seriate-had \deliberately conspired to embarrass the government and to defeat |the federal administration of railways. ‘ The president announced he would make recess appointments at Hoboken tonight of appointees who failed of confirmation... Republican Leader Lodge declined to comment upon the resi- dent’s sttaéments. He said that three-fourths of the republicans insists upon: an early peace ‘with A rai i i and ‘diplomatic relations with! deplored the failure of the railroad bill. He said that the three or. nt, withdrawal of {four who opposed it were beyond control, phalia and over- throw by the Red Guard ofthe pre: ent constituted government and the {substitution of a workmen's council. | He said that they opposed the measure from purely personal re&sons. t The filibuster continued until the end. Senator Sherman held the floor more than four hours and successfully blocked the rail- road measure, The last half hour was spent on roll calls. The resolution on demobilization never reached a final vote. ' The senate joined in the laughter when Vice President Marshall announced adjournment sine deo, instead of sine die. Half ap hour before closing, President Wilson signed the billion dollar wheat guarantee. There was no further action on Senator Lodge’s resolution which republican members of the next senate signed. The house resolution urging the peace delegates to make an effort for Irish independence died in the senate. Failure of the 750 millicn carried others aggregating 92 million dollars and including 30 million for purchase of ships. The death of the railroad measure brought forth no definite plan for handling the carriers. May Return Railroads Fi Some spokesmen for the administration declared that this would mean an immediate return of the railroads to their owners as the government had no means with which to finance the further operation of the carriers. The present appreciation is about ex- hausted and facing heavy deficits, leaders declare the only alterna- tive is to hand the operation back to the owners. i Hopes Wilson Would Relent | There were still hopes that President Wilson would relent and call an extra session, but after a conference at the White House, President Wilson declared that he would not call a session until he had returned from the peace conference at Paris. sand Thousands: From All Sections of Nation Ask for Admit- tance.to Meeting MAIL BY , THE TONS New toduy. applications York, Mar. 4.—Demand seuts to the Wilson-Taft address on the league of nations began to pour!

Agreeable to Bill’s Passage It was reported that Senator Lodge and others who usually direct the movements of the minority members, were agreeable to the bill’s passage but that the filibuster reached such proportions that they were unable to control it.
