De- mands from the democratic side for immediate consideration of the Henry Ford offer were met with assurances from republicans that final action would be taken at the present ses-! sion of Congress, but not until after the contemplated recess. Debate on the subject was starte by Representative Almon, democrat, Alabama, who urged that the House should not adjourn “without giving representatives of the people a chance to be heard upon a subject of such vital national importance.” Representative Mann, republican, Illinois, declaring himself “a friend of the Muscle SHoals proposition,” re- | plied that changes suggested by the House military committee had not vet been passed on by Mr. Ford and that “it would be idie” to pass the bill as reported until the position of the Detroit manufacturer was clear. o FLOORS MADE NEW, OR floors lald straight, or in block able.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily Copyright, 19: CONSTANTINOPLE, August 26— News recelved here from Palestine is of a rather alarming character.

The Bible continues, however, the cheapest standard work on the German market.
