WASHINGTON, Dee. 1 It. The

of administration leacyrs to attempt
no serious leglstatWe business until

the necessity for increased revenues,
Stood out as the most Important
event of the week,
Owing to the difficulty of reorgsnislng
the house committees because of the
Breetly increased minority, congress could
not ret down to actual business. Minor
ity Leader Mana doea not expect to have
hie committee assignments ready until
Tuesday, and little can be done before
Saturday, when congress plans to adjourn
until January for the Chiiatmaa holidays.
Early m the week a Tight that might
have embarraseed holiday recce plans
eeemed Imminent when It was tropoeed
' that an effort be made to re-enact the
emergency war tax law with amendments
' before adjournment.
War Tax Dtf foreae.
Immediately It was diecloeed that this
would be Impossible, and administration
leaders were confronted with the danger
that the war tax law would lap on
December It and a long period would
follow la which no emergency revenue
could be collected.
It waa thereupon agreed by houa lead
era that a Joint reeolution extending the
present war tax with the time limita
tion eliminated ehould be adopted, a
new bill with provisions for Increased
revenues to be submitted after the new
year. Senate republican leaders have
agreed to offer no oppoaltlon to such
a program.

mittee, but this does ot seera likely now.
"I do not thing there will be any

WASHINGTON, Dec. lt-There
were so development today to al
leviate the serious situation that
threatens a rupture of diplomatic: re
lations between the United Btatee
and Austria-Hungary.
Officials continued studiously ret
icent, but word that the American
note, on the sinking- of the Italian
liner Ancona with loss of American
Uvea, had reached the Vienna for
eign office yesterday, led to a feeling
that the question would resolve It
self one way or the other without
much delay.
Wsad Fresnpt aetloa.
Th communication la understood to
ask disavowal of the act of the Austrian
submarine, which sank the liner, punish
ment of the submarine commander, and
reparation for the American live lost.
and It has been clearly Indicated that the
United State expect that theae thing
be don promptly. Thar will be no
lengthy discussion of ths principle in
volved. It Is said, such as waa conducted
vKa Germany after the Lusltania trag
Sd7. A copy of th Ancona note, which will
be given cut for publication In morning
paper of Monday, today waa handed to
Baroa Zwtedinek, charge ot th Austrian
embassy here, by Secretary Lansing, and
it is understood the two discussed th
situation briefly and Informally.
It waa said th talk merely waa Inci
dental, the charge having called at the
State department to explain how h cam
to writ a letter to th Austro-Hungarian
conaul-general at New Tork early In th
war, auggestlng that passport o neu
tral countries be purchased for Austrian
raeerviata In this country. Th letter
waa published today "and a photographic
copy was delivered to Bee rotary Lansing,
by a New Tork newspaper.
, Baron's Explanation.
Baroa Zwiedlnek explained that when
he wrote the letter he we a subordinate
official of the embassy, then In charge
ef Dr. Conetantln Dumba, alno recalled.
It could not be ascertained whether th
explanation waa satisfactory.
It waa apparent tonight that officials
who hav read the note to Austria viewed
the situation a serious, the opinion pre
vailing as strongly as ever that diplo
matic relations were In danger of beta
broken off unlesa Vienna compiled Im

ment of volunteers
The enroll-
IjnfA
under
! Derby's plan for Immediate and
' ture military service could not be
I completed today on account of the
numbers crowding the enlistment of
fices throughout the kingdom at the
eleventh hour. Therefore, the war of-
, flee announced the extension of the
time untlll mldnlghf 8unday with a
possible further extension to mid
night Wednesday.
Recruiting will continue Sunday
and If the numbers of the last two
dsys are kept up the total enlistment
for the last three days probably will
equal the total for any preceding
three weeks.
Daty of Frew Me.
Th process of enlistment waa attended
by picturesque and enthusiastic gather
ings. Bands and orators, both official
and voluntary, from military and civil
life, had been busy. The keynote of the
speeches hsd been that Britons should
show the world that free men are abl
and willing to defend their country With
out compulsion.
After the enrollment- Is completed th
war office will be obliged to segregate
those engaged In government work and
"Indispensable" to the Industrie. A large
proportion of those enrolled may also be
barred by the medical officer because
the examination of th last two days
hav been for the moat part superficial,
and In many instances dispensed with al
together, the medical officers being on
abl to keep up with the enrollment.
Namber of Reernlts.
There 1 no Information at present re
garding the number of recruit, but th
trade union leadera tonight confidently
declared that th Derby campaign wa a
success. Th last census gave th num
ber of men In England. Scotland and
Wale between the ages of 18 and
years as 8.100,000, nearly half of whom
were single. Th general understanding
has been that about 1,000,000 entered the
army before Lord Derby's recruiting cam
paign began and it Is believed that be
tween 80 and M per cant of the re
mainder hav presented themselves for
attestation.
From this total must be deducted three
clssaes the physically unfit, those en
gaged in munitions work and thoae en
gaged In other necessary calling, such

and while doing this relieve the govern
ment of the burden of coat of mainte

Such a policy would give to the navy,
without cost for Its operation during
peace, a perfect auxiliary. Of course, i
the ship should be buUt upon navy

would make them efficient In time of
