MILLION FROM REQUESTS Commission Makes Recommenda- tions to Fifteenth General Assembly Today MORE MONEY ASKED FOR MAINTENANCE. OF GUARD Budgeters Believe $50,000 the Year Will Be Needed— Dickinson Normal School The budget board, after paring more than a millon from the requests sub- mitted for appropriations by the var- fous institutions and departments which draw upon the public purse, to- day reccommended to the Fifteenth general assembly the appropriation of $5,411,746.92 to meet all of North Da- kota’s public expenses for the ensu- ing two years. The original requests totaled $6,570,430.92, Various Items, Some of the important items which the budget includes are $877,236 for all state departments, which asked $950,707; $736,394 for the penal and charitable institutions; $1,393,970 for the educational institutions; $698,800 for aid to maintenance in lieu of mill tax. National Guard. For the National Guard, $120,000 was asked, and $100,000 is recom- mended. The budget board goes on record in favor of preparedness; be- lieves our national guard should be recruited up to full strength under the provisions of the Hay bill, and that for the next two years at least $50,000 per annum will be needed. April 16, 1916, the North Dakota National Guard numbered 735 men and 55 officers; to- day, on a war footing, the guard boasts 950 men and officers. Under the Hay Dill, the North Dakota forces should ultimately reach 4,000. To comply with federal requirements 1,150 men must be enrolled in 1917 and 1,695 in 1918, For this reason the budgeters recommend $100,000 for the ensuing biennium as compared with $60,000 for the last two years.

The only rift in the lute came at the end of the reading of the amendments by sections, when Divet proposed that Sec. 173 he amended to read: “The state or any political sub-division thereof may issue or guarantee the payment of bonds in excess of the debt limit specified in this article, pro- he presents the philosophy of hroth- erhood and co-operation, and this is inconsistent with the proposition that it be backed up by a larger display of force.

The president did not ask the sen- ate for action, he merely laid before the “council associated with him” in the final determination of the coun- try’s international obligations what he has done and his views of the duty of the garrison,” in the days that are to come when it will be necessary to lay afresh, and upon a new plan, the foundation of peace among the nations.” While the president is looking to Europe with the most profound inter- est in the effect of his pronouncement may have on the governments, and people of the warring nations, he awaits With equal eagerness the ver- dict to be given by the American pubd- lic after mature deliberation on the cause he has championed before the world.

The president is said to pétteve, however, that in a full understanding of his reasons for holding on’ that it would be impossible for the United States to remain neutral through an- other great war, and a realization of the part their country can play in ad- vancing civilization, these difficulties will be swept away. Bitter criticism from Europe and de- nunciation of the American press of what will be called attempting to pre- scribe the terms on which the great powers at war shall lay down their arms, is expected. Nevertheless, the administration is confident that event- ually substantial good will come of Mr. Wilson's unprecedented course.

RAIDER HIDES FROM CRUISERS Is Totally Discredited by South American Correspondents NEWS OF ADDITIONAL DEPREDATIONS EXPECTED (Unite dPress,) Buenos Ayres, Jan. 23—The new German commerce raider that revolu- tionized South Atlantic shipping for a few days apparently aisappeared just as mysteriously as she appeared. It was predicted, however, that in a few weeks she might bob up in some far distant waters, raiding commerce as energetically as she raided come merce in these waters. There was no tangible evidence tu- day to. support a Rio de Janiero report of her further activities: & report that the raider had ‘been sunk by <he toa.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 23—The Dan- ish steamer, Hammerhus, was fired on last night by the guns at Fort Santa C and halted, while trying to put to sea, secretly, from the port, according to reports, with provisions and explosives from a German ship anchored in the harbor. The Ham- merhus entered the port last night and dropped anchor close to the Ger- man ship. It took on board a large number of cases and then attempted to leave the harbor, The movements of the ship were observed from the fort and it was signaled to stop. The signals were ignored until two can- non shots were fired, when the Ham- merhus was halted and boarded by the port police. The police compelled the steamer to anchor in the neigh- borhood of some Brazilian warships where she is being kept under surveil- lance pending an investigation.

Searchlights of the house rules come mittee in the “leak” inquiry are to be turned immediately on all the “short” deals which took place on the stock exchange between December 10 and December 23.

That this feature of the inquiry may be expedited the committee at its first session today ordered H.

In the face of the examination, it was believed that there was a leak if the president's speech to the senate yesterday. However, it was thought that little time of the present session would be devoted to this leak investi- gation. Instead, the entire time here will be taken up with the technicali- ties of how Wall street’ gamblers make their money.
