Leaders said that if necessary a second night session would be held. During the general debate today Representative Dies of Texas, demo crat, expressed opposition to the president's trip abroad, and asserted that there are men in this house more fit to be president than the president himself." Congress, he said, had not asserted its power but had permitted more power .to be centered in the executive branch of the government. Considers Danger Perpetual. Representative Fess oLOhio de dared Mr. Dies was to be congrat ulated on his plain statements that America was getting' in entangling al.iances and that the president should return home.

By Associated Press. Weimar; Feb. 6. Weimar today is filled with the most notable throng that ever assembled in this beautiful little Gertnan city. Some 3,000 Ger man political leaders, ranging in re pute from such well-known men as Chancellor Ebert, Philipp Scheide mann, Count von Brockdorff-Rant-zau, the foreign secretary, and Mathias Erzberger to the humblest and hitherto unknown figures from every corner of the former empire have been gradually assembling here for the opening today of the first German national assembly. Special trains for the last two days have been pouging passengers into Weimar until the city is filled to overflowing. Yet, so thoroughly and carefully had the arrangements for the assembly been made that virtually everyone who arrived had been given quarters by nightfall yesterday. Each person not only had his living quarters definitely as signed to him in advance, but his eating place as well. Weimar fortunately possesses an unusual number of good, although small, hotels. Virtually all of these were requisitioned by the authori ties entrusted with the task of mak ing the preparations for the assem bly. They took similar action in the case of many private houses and spare rooms in residences. The Weimar Wohnungsrath. or residence bureau, then took up the task and allotted living quarters to specified groups, such as the ministerial par ty, the members of the assembly and the correspondents, keeping each group together, as nearly as pos sible.

COASTING ON OMAHA'S MANY FEBRUARY 7, 1919. 111! r- 1 JZ3 Supreme. War Council About to Take Steps to Impose . "Full Will of Allies" on Conquered Huns. ' Paris, Feb. 6. The supreme war council will meet at Versailles on Friday to take measures to impose on Germany "the full will of the al lies," says the Matin, because of the unwillingness of Germany to carry out the armistice terms except under certain conditions. There has b'een a change in the attitude of Germany, according to the fiewspaper, and it is"being mani fested by arrogance toward the en tente. Germany is making utmost efforts to have the allies believe that she is nearing bankruptcy, declared Raoul Peret, chairman of the bud get commission of the chamber of deputies and former minister of jus tice in discussing today the finan cial problems facing the peace con ference. The first measures .of the conference along finacial lines, hs aded, should be to take measures tj prevent Germany from declaring itself an insolvent debtor or a bankrupt state. Demand Pay to Limit. "Then," Peret continued, "we should immediately fix the amount of onr' account against Germany, which it must jl made to pay to the full limit of her financial abil ity without consideration for its feeling's. It will be time, enough then to decide about the method of payment. It may pay either in capital" immediately of in yearly in stallments. "I do not believe that Germany at. the present time is in position to pay a large amount in cash. We must not demand from her too heavy payment now, so as, not toplace it m a position where it might argue that we are strangling and killing the gQOse that is to lay the golden esres. "Whether the installments we shall demand from Germany be 20, OOO.OOO.QOO. 30,000,000,000 or 50,000, 000,000 of francs yearly, depends entirely on our decision alter an i vestigat'on t& what amount Germany will be able to pay. These pay ments would be guaranteed by customes tariffs decided on at the. conference, reserving for our selves the right to raise such tariffs should Germany fail to meet her ob ligations. Would Create Financial Society.' "This would act as a means of coercion because, I do not believe that we should occupy Germany with a military force until its debt is paid. It is my opinion that once our armies of occupation return from Germany, all measures should be taken to make reoccupation un necessary. "I believe in the creation of a financial society of nations and that all expenses incurred by each na tion should be put in common and international tax levied upon all until such debts are paid. Neutrals should be included ifMhis financial society of nations, especially those neutrals who profited by the war. As a mat ter of iact, we were fighting for the neutrals as well as for ourselves, for had the f German pan-Germanist dream been realized it would not have been long before Holland. Sweden, Norway, Denmark,' Switz erland and other neutrals would have felt the weight of Germany's iron fist."

While the farmer would be paid the $2.26 gov ernment guarantee of the 1919 wheat crop, the wheat would be sold to the consumer at. a price to be dic tated by the law of supply and de mand under legislation approved to night by the house-agriculture com mittee. The government would lose the difference between the purchase and sale price. 7 With the-government given ab solute control of the wheat market in the United States, members of the committee said it will be difficult to determine what would be the price if the usual, law of supply and de mand were in operation, but they thought it would .be based largely on the world market price. Some witnesses who have testified at hear ings before the committee have pre dicted a world price of $1.25 a bushel. On the. basis of such a price the government would stand a loss of about $1 a bushel, but committee members would not venture a pre diction as to what the total loss might be as forecasts of the 1919 crop depend upon many factors. Thev crop is estimated at aDout t,uuy,uuu 000 bushels. . The bill approved by the commit tee is a substitute for that present ed by the food administration and Department of Agriculture. It gives the president discretionary powers to continue the present agency for handling the wheat crop or create a new one and appropriate $1,000, 000,000 as a revolving fund to carry out the guarantee. Members of the committee believe that a regulatory body similar to the food administration and a commer cial agency like the United States grain corporation will be necessary to enable the government to take over and dispose of the frop. A licensing system similar" to that t.ow in effect, placing alt agencies handling wheat under government control, is authorized by the bill and whatever agency the president may establish will be given broad powers in handling the crop and controlling exports of wheat.

President Wilson was in consulta tion today with Vittorio Orlando, the Italian premier, and with M. Trumbitch, the Jugo-Slav foreign minister, who called upon the presi dent in the Paris White House.
