Big sum To BE ASKED
FOR use in THE Army
Mexican Troubles Have Directed At
tention of Administration to
Need of Preparation.
WILL CALL FOR 100000, 900

Recent developments in Mexico have
sharply directed the attention of the
present administration of the War De-
partment to the army's lack of prepara-
ton for trouble. The question has been
given serious consideration of late, with
the result that Congress will be asked
at the coming session to increase ap-
propriations with a view to establishing
the army of the United States on a
footing where it will be responsive in
emergencies. Plsns to this end are being
perfected, and Congress will be asked to
galvanize them into life by making ap-
preparations for the purpose.
The estimates calling for appropria-
tions for the maintenance of the army
in the fiscal year that will begin July
next, show conclusively that it is Sec
retary Garrison's belief tnat the army
should be as well equipped in all respects
as the armies of other countries. For
example. he asks for an appropriation of
nearly $S,oO0,O0o for the purchase of am
munition. Heretofore not more than
100000 has been allowed for the pur-
pose.
At the last session Congress appropri-
ated something like 81. 10000 for ammu-
milton for the use of the regular army
and the militia. -.s stated, the Secretary
Of War will ask that the approPria tior
oS IASISdSSu 10 approximately SS,Ou1,VJJ.
About S6,OO0,000 is needed it will be rep
resented, TO create u reserve supply OF
ammunition for the artillery. At pres
ent the artillery has no reserve stock
Cf ammunition. War Department Off
cials believe that the artillery should
have available at all times about SET
0S,o10 worth Of ammunition, ample for
be ginning and continuing operations in
case Of trouble until the supply could be
replenished.
\ little in excess of s9LOOO.OOO was made
available for the needs of the army this
year. For the next fiscal year the esti-
mates call for an appropriation of $lOl,-
000,0OO. Most of the increase is made up
by the increased allowance asked for the
purchase of ammunition.
Leaders in Congress fear that the navy
estimates also will be increased. The
appropriation for this year was more
than $40, 10000. 1t is generally believed
that the administration will urge an au-
thorization for two battleships in the new
budget. The small navy" men are pre-
pairing to fight this building program.

Dearth of Small Bills and
SiIver Dollars Stirs Banks
Although There Are 491,736, 900 of the Big Isl
moLeons" in the Currency Trust Funds,
the Certificates Needed to Get
Them Out Are Scarce

There's a great scarcity of dollar bills,
and even greater void in the matter of
silver dollars. To that large part of our
population that will not be called upon
to pay any income tax this information
may lack the element of novelty.
The scarcity of the forms of money
named does not affect the average man as
seriously as it does the banks of the coun-
try, South and West. where there is ur-
gent demand for the small biils-ones,
twos. and fives, and the big silver
simoleons.
In their trouble the banks have appealed
to Uncle Sam and his representatives in
the United States Treasury But even
your Uncle Samuel is shy on silver and
the small bills, though actually rolling in
wealth in gold and gold bills.
1t has come to that stage where a
banker might send over 100000 in $40 gold
certificates and request Treasurer Burke
or some one of his assistants to turn over
10000 in ones, twos, and fives of silver
certificates, and the messenger would
have to carry back the big wad of gold
certificates, for he would be turned down
fiat by the Treasurer.
silver Dollars in Treasury.
In the currency trust funds. the general
fund, &c, there are stored sI9l, ,7se 600 in
silver dollars, but the only way to make
an inroad on this immense fund is to
present silver certificates for redemption.
