Estimate is Staggering and Committee at Sea as to the Tax Sources—Total Esti- mates for First Year of War Are $14,000,000,000. e Washington, July 24.—Plans work- ed out in congress for raising war revenue were overturned today by ennouncement of forthcoming addi- tional estimates for war expenditures aggregating more than £$5,000,000,000, principally In anticipation of assem- biing a second army of 500,000 men under the selective draft, War Tax Bill Held Up. Eecretary McAdoo at a special meet- ing of the senate finance committee, revealed that the war department alone is preparing estimates to cover additional expenditure of nearly $5,- 000,000,000 and asked the committee to hold up the $1,670,000,000 war tax bill untll the detalled estimates of all departments are submitted. The committee agreed to the request and pigeonholed a report on the measure which it had planned to submit dur- ing the day. The New Estimates. The new estimates, including $500,- 000,000 additional for the ipping ©c navy to submitted to the committee late s weeck. Then there will begin another revision of the war revenue measure, probably g in an increase of the bill's levy by from¥ $359,000,020 0,000,000. Further credits may also Dbe authorized in the form of beads or indebtedness certificates. Loan to Allics. Besides the additionzl sums needed for the American wa programme, Secretary McAdoo to senate cemmittee that the 33,000,000.000 for Joan to the allies probably w only until October and that abc their further board and $100,000,000 for t be department, are 00,000,000 for nce would be needed. Provision for his, however, is not planned in con- pectlon with the pending revenue lezisiation. It probal will be con- sidered at the next n. Taxes or Bonds. The secretary made no recommen- dation as to what part of the tota! should be raised by taxes and what part by bond issues or other credits. it was reported, however, that the treasury department would favor raising $1,000,000,000 more than had been planned in taxes, making the tax bill total $2,670,000,000. Staggered by Estimate: As to the tax sources to be tapped to meet the new estimates, the com- mittee for the present is entirely at sea. Mr..McAdoo’s announcement came without warning and more than cne committeeman expressed himself as completely staggered by the size of the forthcoming estimate. The first deposition was to turn to new taxes on war excess profits and incomes. Many Sources of Revenue. “There are many great sources of revenue open for a great and rich people like ours,” said Chairman Sim- mons, but he would not predict what the committee would do. A meeting will be -held immediately after the new estimates are submitted. At to- day’s meeting a resolution was adopt- cd calling for submission of new es- timates are submitted. At today’s mecting _a resolution was adopted calling for submission of new esti- mates by all departments, so that the whole war expenditure program may be coasidered in connection with the pendinz war tax legislation, The Second Draft. The $5,000,000,000 army increases, Mr McAdoo informed the committee, ire largely to provide for the second Graft army of 500,000 men to be called while the first 500,000 are under training. The $5,00,000,000 would provide for expenditures until July 1, 1918. The Total Estimates. During today’s dabate on the riv- ers and harbors bill, Senator Smoot presented statistics to show that ap- propriations of the war session al- ready aggregated $9,226,00,000, so that the new estimates would raise the total for the first yvear of the war well above $14,000,000,000.

It now goes to the senate, where its speedy enact- ment into law is assured by the pres- ence of a substantial majority sup- porting the goverament. The majority today upon the third reading in the commons was nine be- low that given when the principle of conscription was adopted on second reading. This was due to the absence of a number of non-conscrivtionists. _ There, was no practical change in the lineup, the vote for conscription being almost entirely English and the vote against very largely French.

GREAT BRITAIN SPENT £5,592,600,00c IN WAR Not Deprived of Victory Through Lack of Money, Thanks to U. S, London, July 24—Moving in the house of commons today a vote of credit for 650,000.000 pounds, the largest war credit yet asked and bringing Great Britain’s expenditure to the colossal total of 2,000,000 pounds, Andrew Bonar Law, chancel- lor of the exchequer, gave startling figures of the amazing growth of Great Britain’s financial burden in the world war and emphasized from the financial viewpoint alome the great importance of the United States entering the war as ensuring that the allies would not be deprived of vic- tory through lack of money. £1,000,000,000 Advanced. The house was astonished to learn that Great Britzin’s advances to the allies and dominions had already reached the huge total of over 1,000,- 000,000. The daily war expenditure, | although it shows a substantial im- provement over the figures given on May 9 when Mr. Bonar Law asked for the last war credit, still approaches 7,000,000 pounds daily and exceeds the 'budget estimate by 1,000,000 pounds daily. But comparing the last seventy-seven days with the first thirty-five davs of the financial vear, the expenditure showed a reduction of a million dail Unselfish Generosity. Expressing his disappointment of the necessity of such Jarge advances 10 the allies, the chancelior referred to the British standpoint of unselfish generosity in regarding the whole al- lied cause as one.and explained ‘hat the cost of all the supplies for the al- lies produced in Great Britain dur. ing the. war had been defrayed b England and that previous to the en- try of America into the war much of the supplies to the allies produced abroad had also been paid for by England. President Was Rightly Slow. In an_interesting roference to United States, the Mr. Bonar Law said: “When America entered the struggle we realized that a great change had come over the allies’ financial strength. President Wilson was slow and, in my judsment, rightly slow, in bring- ing his country to the vortex of this terrible war, but, having come in, he has shown by his speeches in _ the ciearest way that he is determined to throw the whole weight of the nation e heads into the scale. I am sure that, although naturally it takes time to make the financial arrangements needful in a war like this, the presi- dent and the great nation he repre- sents will deal in this matter with the same spirit of zenerosity, or rather, iof realization of what the whole is- sues mean, as has been shown by England and that we can rely on re- ceiving in the United States resources which are necessarv to pay for sup- | plies of all kinds required by the al- lies in America. . America, Great Ally. “Indeed, it is an open secret that we had spent so freely of our re- sources that those available in Amer- ica had become nearly exhausted when our great allv entered the struggle and obviously, the extent to which supplies of all kinds can be obtained in the United States will depend largely upon the ability—for I am sure of the good will—of the Ameri- can government to meet the demands that will be made upon it by the al- lies.” John Dillon Criticises. After Reginald McKenna, former chancellor of the exchequer, spoke, warning the government of the ab- solute necessity of curtailing all un- necessary expenditure to prevent the dangerous inflation of yrices. the gen- eral debate had no great interest, the main feature being strong criticisms by John Dillon and others of the Sa- loniki expedition. Mr. Dillon, refer- ring to rumors that Serbia was in- tending to make a separate peace with Austria and demanding that the gov- ernment say whether Serbia was to be deserted, declared that the PBritish army in Saloniki had been demoral- ized by months of inaction in pes- tilent surroundines. Charges Are Untrue. Tord Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, replying, characterized Mr. Dillon’s charge as absolutely untrue. He said there was no intention what- ever of receding from the pledges for the full restoration of and reparation for Serbia. While declining to re- veal the government’s plans., he said he would re-state its war aims: Germany Chief Enémy. “Austria_is not our chief enemy. Germany is, and must be. our chief enemy. The broad principles we are fighting for are these: “First—that we should stand by our atllel' second, we are fighting for a stable settlement, for a sound and satisfactory peace, not a conquest or mere domination, but on some na- tional principle as far as might be which would secure that settlement. When arrived at, it should he free from change and alteration in the fu- ture. An Everlasting Peace. “Personally I wish to see how far President Wilson's proposals can be made practicable for barriers against future wars. The sovernment's de- sire for the destruction of German militarism is only part of its general purpose to secure a lasting peace. It desires it only because it is the great- est danger to the future peace of Eu- rope. The war credit was agreed to and the house adjourned.

Despite the threat of Premier Keren- sky that a policy of “blood and iron” is to be applied without restraint against the seditious Russian_ troops in East Galicia, whose dissatisfaction has made null almost all the brilliant gains they bad achieved under his personal lead- ership early in the month, the Rus. slans continue their retirement, virtu- ally pelimell, before the German and Austro-Hungarlan armies. From the wooded Carpathians to the region of Tarnopol the forces of General Kornil- off almost everywhere are in disorder- ly retreat, hardly anywhere making an attempt to hold back the oncoming cnemy. Already the losses of the Russians in men killed, wounded or made pris- oner and in guns and stores captured are extremely heavy, and these un- doubtedly will become greater unless the hoped-for stiffening in the morale of the Russians is realized soon. Stanislau Evacuated. Stanislau, the principal junction for commercial activities in the crownland of Galicia and an important grain and manufacturing center, is being evacu- ated by the Russians, while Podhaytse, | Halicz_and other towns have been taken by the Teutons. Tarnopol, one of the chisf rowrs in the crownland, is more serlously menaced th it has not aircaay been retaken, by the enemy crossing the river to the south. Russians Firm in Rumania. Including the hostllities in Galicia, the entire western front from the Baltic virtually to the Black sea is the scene of big operations, but with the Russians standing firmly against the enemy only in the Rumanian theatre. As in Galicia, the Russians to the north around the region of Dvinsk and Vilna continue to.show signs of dis- affection. Although they had attacked and captured German positions along the Dvinsk-Vilna railway, the Russians could not be induced to press their advantage, and retired unhindered by the Germans to their old positions. In the repulse of attacks with large forces near Krevo, which was recaptured, and south of Smorgon, the Germans cut entire regiments to pleces with their galling fire of the infantry and ma- chine guns. French Push Forward. The Germans having ceased their violent infantry attacks against the French troops along the Chemin des Dames in France, General Petain's forces have assumed the initiative and have taken back from the enemy the small advantages gained in the ter- rain during his weeks of tenacious as- saults. The lost ground on the Cali- fornie plateau and the Casemates pla- teau has all been recaptured- and the French, in spite of vicious counter-at- tacks by tried regiments of the Ger- man crown prince, have even pushed their line forward at several points in the latter region. Fiercest Artillery Battle. The artillery battle in northern Bel- gium, which has been in progress for some’ time, has reached an intensity rever before experienced. While the British cfficial communication as yet has only barely mentioned the fact that the big guns are hammering away, the prohability is that General Haig is preparing for another of his great drives similar to those made in Arras and Lens fronts, which worked great havoe on the Germans and their po- sitions and gave the Britlsh forces bases of important strategic value from whence to continue their operations. Germans Cross Sereth. The Germans have crossed the Sereth in the region of Mikulice (south of Tarnopol), defeating Russian detach- ments. South of the Dniester the Rus- sians are retiring eastward. After the Russians had occupied the German positions on both sides of the Dvinsk-Vilna railroad, the statement s entire units returned to their original trenches without German pressure. A number of units refused to obey commands during the battle. The enemy occupied a height to the north of Bogush, which the Russians captured on_July 22, continues the statement. Herolc exertions on the part of the Russian officers were needed to restrain great numbers of the men from retreating. On the Rumanian front a “battalion of death” captured 50 prisoners and three machine guns near Domuk. An artillery battle developed on the re- mainder of the front Died ‘Near Dead Brother. New Haven, Conn,, July 24.—A few moments after having viewed the dead body of her brother, Mrs. Sophia Em- merich, 61 vears old, collapsed, and died tonight of heart failure, brought on, it was said, by her emotion. The Lrother, Ernest Ploeger, died a day or two ago as a result of an automobile accident. Mrs. Emmerich was about to leave the Ploeger home for her own home tonight when she “dropped to the floor suddenly and died within a few minutes. Allied Control Abandoned. ‘Washington.

Washington, July 24—With the master lists of Friday's conscription drawing in the mail for distribution to the local boards, the task of assembl- ing the national army of a half mill- ion had passed out of the hands of the federal government tonight and in- to those of the civilian authorities who will notify the men drawn and pass on exemptions. As soon as the lists are received, each board will summon for physical examination double the number of men in the district quota. If more are needed, the authorities will keep on calling until the quota is filled. Only a Few Errors. The final list shows only a few er- rors in the unofficial report of the drawing already transmitted through- out the country by the press. Includ- ing all the adjustments found neces- sary in correcting the official list to make up for numbers that were read upside down, or were misread, and also all errors in transcription in the rush of the drawing and the haste to get the figures to the wires, there are less than two score variations between the lists compiled by The Associated Press and the master sheet. The surprise of the official record is the fact that the missing number in- dicated by the drawing of a blank capsule as No. 10,004, was located as Serial No. 5,794. It was placed last in the master sheet and becomes Lia- bility No. 10,500. No. 2.780, drawn as No. 10,498, was found to be duplicated and was stricken out.

London, July 24—A great tragedy is being enacted in the life of the free Russian people, according to Ar- thur Henderson, member of the Brit- ish war council and representative of labor, who has just returned from an extended visit to Russia. He is con- vinced that unless the situation is handled with firmness, there must be an_inevitable disaster. Mr. Henderson said during the course of an interview today that it was nothing less than a misfortune that the continuance of the coaliticn government had proved impossible. The difficulties the government had to cope with were such as no other gov- ernment ever experienced. It was impossible to convey anything like an adequate conception of the extent to which the extremists dominated the life of the capital, demoralizing the army and navy especially those units in close proximity to Petro- grad. I.)EANS OF CATHEDRALS OUGHT TO BE ABOLISHED It Is Declared Un-Catholic For Bishop to be a Second. “London, July 24—Deans of the Church of England, or rather of the Cathedrals of England, are luxuries and should be abolished, in the opin- ion of the Right Reverend Arthur F. ‘W. Ingram, bishop of London, who declared that the three hundred and fifty thousand dollars spent vearly on deans is wasted money. “It is with no a ect that I say it” he de- clared, “but I believe that the whole idea of a dean being at the head of a cathedral and the bishop having no right whatever in his see, is an un- c#tholic thing. In some cathedrals a bishop cannot even preach without the leave of the dean and chauter. There are excellent men among them but the mioney spent yearly is more needed for the bishops of th. new dioceses which are required.” sed Telegrams ..

July 24.—The adminis- program of food legisiation Washington, tration’s encountered another delay today when Republican Leader Mann blocked plans to hurry the food control bill to con- ference. The proposal to create a joint com- mittee of congress on expenditures ot the war, written into the bill in the senate, and objected to by President Wilson as signifying a lack of confi- dence in him, was the feature which started the trouble. The republican leader rallied many members of his party about him, and tonight the sit- uation had taken on the aspect of # partisan fight, virtunally for the firs; time since the war session met.
