WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Congress resumed its labors today, after a re- cess thru the Christmas holidays. The resumption of business found mood and determined upon the passage of additional! railroad legislation, which will include a bill compelling an inves- President Wilson insistent in tigation before strikes are called. It is believed that the’ President is somewhat displeased with the’ Broth-| erhoods’ opposition measure. As legislation and serious problems continue to pile up, the prospects of an extra session seem to be greater than ever before. Following a conference with Thos, W. Lawson, Chairman Henry intro- duced a bill regulating the New York Stock Exchange. The Republicans demanded an “open and abuve-board” investigation of Lawson's charges. It is admitted on all side’ that a serious “leak” has been dise i the State Department. Sena Win. J. Stone, chairmhan of the For Relations Committee, bisthed othe “present system of Gi¥il service.

BERLIN, Jan. 2.—The opinion of the German press, typifying the gen« eral public opinion toward peace, has now taken on a belligerent attitude, and it is the opinion of all now that “war to the hilt’ should be the only reply to the Allied note, The editors declare that the Allied note does not deserve a writter reply, It is the almost unanimous decision that Germany’s answer to the Allied rejection of peace proffers must be by her armies in the field. The Berlin editors are more bitter than their printed statements indi- leate. The leading writer on the Le- | paper, was asked how Germany should neply to the Allied note. “Held out!” he said, “It is in- sanity for Europe to bleed death- wards, but the Allies refuse peace.
