Chairman Dallinger. Bodenstad, a
Republican, was defeated by Berger
by a majority ot 4,80w votes in the
special election. The committee pre-viously
held Joseph P. Carney, Ber-ger's
opponent in the first election,
to be ineligible. Chairman Dallin-ger
said to-day that at the time of
his first election Berger was only
under indictment under the espion-age
act, but that he had been con-victed
before the second election
took place. This, He added, would
strengthen Bodenstad's case.

it was infinitely more important
that the treaty be ratified before
January 16, with concessions by both
sides in the treaty fight, than to
continue a state of war for
months until the people could
cide in favor of ratification at
coming elections.
Mr. Bryan expressed the - belief
that the senate would ratify the
treaty by next Friday, so the United
Stated could enter the league of na-ions
at its first session on that day.
Ha denounced what he said were
accusations of Republican newspa-pers
that there had been a split in
the Democratic party over the
league covenant.
The most important thing, he de-clared,
was to secure ratification of
the treaty and if compromise efforts
to this end between Democratic and
Republican senators failed, the mat-ter
could be turned over to the Re-publicans,
who would be responsi-ble
if it was not settled to the satis-faction
of the people.
Mr. Bryan reiterated his denial of

were proposed to Oongresa to-day
by Secretary Glass, who said it
might be necssary to increase thi»
amount to $200,000,000 after the
full situation in Europe had been
assessed.
The secretary reviewd at length

particularly Austria and Po-land,
and saidi Great Britain, France

distress in Austria through a $48,-

would continue to lend aid by fur- •
nisning ships for transporting sup
plies and such supplies as possible
from the United Kingdom.
Reviewing the situation in Aus-tria,
Mr. Glass said safermg was so
great that the chancellor, Dr. Ren-ner,
had declared that a complete
breakdown must occur by the end,
of January unless assistance was
given from the outside.
"What the effct of a general so-cial
breakdown in Austria woeld Be.
ot course, only can be conjectured,"
wrote Mr. Glass. "That It would be
confined to Austria, however, aeesas
highly improbable, and it it spread
to Germany, Poland and possibly all
Europe, the result would be no leaa-than
a general disintegration ot po-litical
cohesion in western Europe.

Referring to Poland, Mr. Glass,
said the failure of the government
there properly to ration Its adult
population already bad caused dem-onstrations
by the "Reds" in War-saw.
Under the treasury department
plan the loans would be advanced *y

would be used to establish credits m.
this country on the basis of $70.-

Poland, $25,000,000 for other Eu-ropean
countries and $1,000,000 for
Armenia.
Some forms of securities would
be obtained from.,the foreign coun

made. Assistant Secretary Davis
explained that the countries inter
