The president gained generally in the states of the northwest. “His gain was apparently in both city and country, yet the larger per- centage of his gain was in the cities and towns as distinguished-from the pugely country districts, and the dis- tricts containing small villages. “The narthwegt, beginning with Jn- diana, shows gains of seventeen re- ‘)ublic:n congressmen. 1f the repub- icans organize the house it will be by reason of their gain in the north- west against which section the legis- lation of the last four years has been directed. Further, the northwest as a whole appears to repeat on a large scale what we find in the Nebraska cangressional vote, that, the collective vote for the republican candidates ex- ceéded the collective votes of their op- ponents. “While the president has been alter- nately praised or blamed for legisla- tion enacted, the people of the north- west evidently have held the house of representatives, the body confstitution- ally charged with, responsibility, as responsible for adverse legislation. “I shall oppose the proposed food embargo. Although the embargo would be in line with other adverSe legisla- tion against the northwest, I do not think that it can be carried out. Our tariff laws admit free from the world food products to be sold to the Ameri- can people. The embargo would deny. us the privilege of selling to anybody else in the world.- In other words, the Underwood tariff law removed the reasonable protection the producer had in the professed interest of the consumer. ji“he embargo would give a prohibitive protection. to the con- sumer and against the producer. This combination, the producers of the northwest will and should resist to the utmost.” ! Attorney General - And Irrigationists /- Reach Washington (From a Staft Correspondent.) Washington, Dec. 4 —(Special Tele- gglm.) — Attorney General Willis Reed of Nebraska, accompanied by a staff of well-known lawyers from the Prairie state, arrived in Waltinp ton today to safeguard the interests of citizens of Nebraska growing out of the case pending in the Supreme court wherein Wyoming is suing Colorado for certain infractions of water rights, The attorney general of Nebraska is ndt quite satisfied that to intervene on the part of his state is the proper procedure, although it is possible Nebraska will get into the case before final argument. In the meantime ' General Reed's staff of trained legal minds is hunt- ing up precedents, examining authori- ties and generally making itself use- ful, sq they may b¢ continued on the payroll provided by the last legisla- ture, for the protection of the water users in the western part of ‘the state. General Reed hopes for a darger ap, ropriation at the hands of the pext egislature to continue the work of ascertaining who are priority water users on both the North and South was incalculable, The Danube army captured thirty-five cannon and near Titu thirteen locomotives with much rolling stock fell into our hands.

CALL FOR MORE LATER ON Washington, D. C, Dec. 4—Esti- mates for maintaining and strength- ening the army\and navy during the fiscal year 1918 i}dica!c that congress will be asked this winter to provide about $800,000,000 for that purpose. The total of estimates already sub- mitted and made public today when congress convened is $757,584,560 to cover the military activities of both departments. Statements made by navy officials to the house naval com- mittee, now considering that bill, have foreshadowed, however, large supple- mentary estimates to be submitted later, and a similar situation exists at the War departient. The preliminary estimaté for the army is $373,074,565, an ingrease of about $70,000,000 over the amount ap- propriated for 1917. The navy total of $379,151,701 is an increase of $66,~ 451,146 over 1917 figures. Panama canal fortifications will take $5358,- 300, an increase of about $300,000. More than $10,000,000 of the army increase will go into the payment of regulars, national guardsmen and members of the reserve. A total of $97,974,995 is sought under the pay item and the éstimates show that the number provided for under this sec- tion is 258,594, Of that total-94,279 would be in the regular servi€e and 164,315 in the National Guard. Ptovision is also made for the pay- ment of 25,000 members of the regular enlisted reserve and for full rate pay- ment of these men for fifteen days’ field training during the year. The provision for payment of reserve offi- cers is $3,515,303 and that for' pay- ing National Guard officers, $3,- 396,940. Two Million for Aviation. . Another $2,000,000 of the increase will go to the aviation section, which submits “estimates for the expendi- ture during 1918 of $6,200,000 on new aeroplanes and $1,000,000 for balloons. A scpatate item submitted, it is ‘stat- ed, at the request of the Navy de- partment in the Panama canal esti- mates, is $250,000 for the establish- ment of an aviation station in the zone. For the protection of the canal it is shown that $780,000 is, to be ex- pended for armored cars and locomo- tives, searchlights and other equip- ment for the mobile troops which army officials have declared must be ready to repel an attack by land. In round figures an additional $13,- 000,000 will be spent for the training and equiphyent of the National Guard and $10,000,000 more than the 1917 ap- propriations for reserve stores pof am- munitioh, gdns, rifles and field artil- lery. A million additional is asked for armored motor cars, $1,500,000 ad- ditional for civilian training camps and $5/000,000 in new items for the reserve officers’ training corps. Coast Defenses. Nnder the head of coast defenses $45,628000 is asked with which to purchase guns of all types. Thelincrease in the general item of fortifications and other works of de- fehse for 1918 totals more than $30,- 000,000 over last year. To continne ships already building or authorized the department seeks $118,946,155, and for ships to be au- thorized this year, sss?Smmo, It has been~ shown during the house naval committee’s hearings, however, that the latter figure is only a rough esti- mate and probably will be increased mapy millions even if the building program recommended is not ex- ceeded.. With 40,000-ton battleships in prospect; while the figures are ased on the 32,000-ton type last aw~ horized, it is virtually certain that an increase of $25,000,000 will be neces- sary before the program can/be car-|_ 3 ried out. / The estimates make no mention of several arbitious projects for' navy yard development ' which are under contemplation and will not be laid before congress, probably, until the ded Admiral Helm, !
