Democratic leaders see in the discussion
begun by Mr. Gardner and already threat
ening to awaken great interest throughout
the country further trouble and embar-
rassment for the Administration.
II is well known that the army Is not
prepared for war, while the navy IL like
wise lacking in important details. Should
the country support the movement for
further attention to these matters Ad-
ministration leaders see no escape except
to yield and make larger appropriations.
Larger appropriations are likely TO ne
cessitate further revenue legislation, or
at best change in the tariff laws, hence
the depression OF the leaders at the aglta-
ton for a better military equipment OF
the country for war.
The present tendency. however. In the
Administration Is TO discourage the move
ment. The Administrations hand will
have to be forced In Congress or out OF IL
before there will be any yielding TO what
IL now little known quantlty-that IT,
the real strength of public opinion in the
country in support of Representative Gard
ner's ideas.
No change in the two battleship pro-
sramme 4 the Wilson Administration will
he made at the coming Congress, accord
ing to comments made by President VIII
son to-day. The President let II be known
that the estimates made by the executive
departments for appropriations are now
in his hands and that the state Depart
ment is the only department asking an
increase in appropriations for the con-
duct of business.
The President said that no additional
money has been asked for naval expenses
and that he assumed the policy Of the
Administration, as shown in the last naval
appropriation bill, would be adhered to In
the coming Congress, Two battleshlps,
eight submarines and six torpedo boat
destroyers were provided for in the last
bill.

The Holland-America Line has been
doing such great business since the war
started that It has added to Its service
during this time about thriy-hve extra
boats. These have been chartered. The
charters on about fifteen have now ex-
plred, so that at the present time twenty
ships are In the service OF the company In
addition to the nineteen vessels In It's
regular fleet.
II was learned yesterday that the carry
ing trade to and from Holland ports to
this port shows little sign Of diminutlon.
The trade was practically unaffected by
the action of the Netherlands Government
In guaranteeing to the British that ship
ments from here to Holland would not
lind their way into Germany. The bulk
OF the business has been In grain, and this

The tremendous export traffic has caused
all steamship companies here nearly 1"

by the addition OF tramp steamers. accord
ing to the American Express Company.
England. 1t IL said. has placed orders
for more than 1000 automobiles. which
are being held awaiting shipping facilities.
This condition has given another upward
trend to freight rates, already doubled,
and in some cases trebled.
Barber & Co. have added about fif-
teen tramps to their fleet. The lnterna-
tional Mercantile Marine Company VIII
make no such move. II Is announced, on
account of its already larG< fleet of ocean
going vessels. The GAM Line handling
considerable Italian trade. has added three
tramp vessels to handle the large amount

Inmates OF appropriations needed OF de-
sired in the fiscal year beginning July
I, 1915, in order that the Democratic
party may live down the reputation for
extravaganza that 1t made at the last
session OF Congress.
At that session the spectacle was pre-
Scented Of Congress passing an emer-
gency revenue bill coincidcnt with the
making OF appropriations largely in ex-
cess Of any appropriations ever made be-
fore in a single session.
In the closing session OF the Sixty-first
Congress, just preceding Democratic con-
trol. the appropriations for the year ag-
Rregated si,O26. 000. 900. This was the
high water mark OF appropriations up
to that time.
Republicans were appalled, at these ag-
ures and Democrats used them in making
a plea to the country for election on
the ground that any party that appro-
priated more than a billion dollars in
single year was unfit to be entrusted with
power.
When tho Democrats took hold in the
Sixty-second Congress 1t seemed for a
time as though they intended to retrench.
Their first regular appropriations footed
up to sl,ol9, 100000. a shade under the
total OF the amount authorized by their
Republican predecessors.

The Secretary. Objection.

What the Secretary is opposed to is
the suggestion that officers of the army
should voluntarily appear and give test-
mony about military policy. for which the
Secretary Of War. not army officers Is
responsible.
Mr.. Garrison Is OF the opinion that such
voluntary appearances of army officers
could not fail TO have a demoralizing ef.
feet upon the service and cause confusion
in Congress.
II Representative Gardner asks Secre-
tary Garrison to detail officers to appear
before the Rules Committee In all proba-
bility the Secretary will refuse TO grant
this request. Should Mr.. Gardner ask
the Secretary for information. specifying
just what Information he wishes to have.
the Secretary will undoubtedly furnish II
to him Likewise should the committee
call on him for Information the Secretary
will furnish II and also furnish such
officers as may he desired to supplement
his own statements
There are indications chat the Admins
tratiOn Is not pleased at the prospects
OF Representative Gardner succeeding in
bringing on Congressional discussion.

tary situation In the country.
The attitul" Of the White House is not
one OF sympathy and approval, and there
IL good reason TO believe that the less
said In public this winter about national
preparedness for war the better will the
President be pleased. He told callers to-
day when asked regarding the appearance
of army or navy ,fficers before a Con-
gressonal committee that he regarded
| 1t a hypothetical question.

Tnrin Revision suggested.

The situation is such a serious one tina;
in Adm. nistratigu circles there have been
suggestions that within the next two
wears il may be necessary for the domi-
nant party to again revise the tariff. In
fact during the recent sessions predictions
were made privately by Democrats that
long before May |, 1916. when sugar under
the Underworld Simmons tariff law is to

Two well organized movements are

New Marks Are set.

In the las; session Of the Sixty-second
Congress, however the Democrats estab-
lshed a new high water mark. Their
expedltures for that session ran up to
sl.09s. 100000 Another high water mark
was established in the session that closed
recently. The total was Sl.10o. 100000.
The Democrats have explained that ex-
traordinary conditions in Mexico and
other abnormal conditions rendered nee
essary such an extraordinary budget.
Nevertheless the leaders in Congress fear
that unless they can get support from the
Administration the budget Of the forth
coming session Will exceed by millions
the one TUNED our at the recent session.
As a rule the estimates Of the eXecu-
tive departments are tar In excess OF
tho appropriations. Congress leaders have
strongly advised the Administration to
cut the estimates away below the appro-
priation of $l,l0O00O.O00 provided at the
last session They argue that unless this
is done Congress will run up the budget
in such manner this winter as seriously
to embarrass the Democratic party in
the campaign of 1916.
There is no problem of government
that gives the Wilson Administration
more concern than the one presented by
the revenues. CUSTOMS receipts are sti.l
low and doubt is beginning to be enter
tained that the war revenue bill will
produce the sl00.000000 or 30 expected.
