BRITISH ARMY EsTiMATE s.
shov only a Slight Reduction on the
Previous Year.

London, March 1.-The army esti-
mates were ISIS led during the day.
The expenses of the army for the cur
rent year are estimated at S14S630. 900,
which is reduction of only $4,000 on
the previous year. AS in the case of
the navy, the new government has
simply adopted the estimates prepared
by it's predecessors. Thus. including
s1S0,000,000 for the navy, the nations
defense bill is nearly $3.50, 10000,
which destroys any possibility of a
large budget surplus or substantial
reduction of taxation.
The Liberal papers are disappoint-
ed that the government has seen no
way to effect a greater reduction in
national expenditure, which the coun-
try naturally hoped from a Liberal
government, pledged to retrenchment,
especially as the cost Of the army is
now s50,000,O00 yearly more than it
was decade ago.

could not be very far west Of us. Any
way, | made quick stop and reversed
and backed tight as could make it
for Salt Rocks siding. Before we had

and | knew the 202 was against our
order. We got into the clear just as
the special went by humming. Nobody
but our train crew and my fireman
knows anything about this"
The three men in front of me made
no comment as they looked at each 9th
er. How was it possible for one train
to have seen the headlight Of another
among the buttes of the Peace river
country
1t was-possible. Just possible. But
to figure once In how many times
vista would have opened for a single
second so one engineer could see the
light Of another would stagger multi
plying machine. Chance! Well. yes.
perhaps. But there were no sugges-
tons of that nature that night under
the dlspatcher's lamp at the Wickiup,
with the storm driving down the pass
as it drove that night; and yet at
Peace river, where the clouds never
rested, that night was clear. Black

but they pushed him into Galatians
room. They didn't want to hear any
thing.
