PRESIDENT AIMING
 TOWARD BUDGET SYSTEM. As a Means to Reduce Government
 Expenditures Next Year.

Washington. Nov 23-President Wilson is giving careful consideration to means for reduction of government expenditures next year because of the European war, it was learned today and is aiming toward a budget sys- tenn to coordinate expenditures and income.
 MT. Wilson plans to give more, at- tention to appropriations hereafter than he was able to do last year be- cause of the press of other business II his writings before he became pres- ident he advocated a budget system including the presence in congress of the secretary of the treasury to ex- plain the administrations estimates.
 It is expected that the president will refer to this question in his forthcom- ing message to congress and will give particular attention to 1t in conferences which he is to begin soon with con gressional leaders with regard to the programme for the short session.
 The president has already discussed expenditures at several meetings and impressed on the secretaries the nec- essity for economy. He has been told, however, that the beginning of the new governmental activities, such as the trade commission, and the federal reserve bank system. will necessitate some new appropriations.

Little Rock. Ark, Nov. 23.-The state of Arkansas, ablaze almost from end to end with forest fires which are devastating huge tracts of timber, is powerless to call on it's militia as a fire fighting organization, according to Governor George w. Hays today. The condition of the state treasury, the depletion of the militia fund and the general Reorganization of the state guard forces, the governor declared, made such action impossible.
 12 Counties Call for Assistance.

 From Texarkana in the extreme southwest to Jonesboro in the north east corner, a distance of more than 300 miles, and from Fort Smith in the northwest to Helena in the southeast, the woods are burning along railroad rights of way and gradually creeping back further into the timbered areas.
 Half Million Acres Endangered.

BRITISH OCCUPY ISLAND
 OFF COAST OF GUERNSEY
As a Preeaution Against It's Possible
 Use by Germany.

London, Nov. 23. 4.13 D. m.-The island of Herm, one 4 of the channel group off the coast of Guernsey, which is less than one hundred square mI4es in area, has been occupied by British troops as precaution against its pos sible use by Germany. Some time ago a mild agitation was started in Great Britain because the island was leased to Prince Won Bleucher, descendant of the famous German commander at the battle of Waterloo.
 A wireless plant was found there shortly after the outbreak ot the war and was destroyed.
 Reginald McKenna, home secretary, explained in the house of commons that a German company had leased the island as far back as 1889. This com pany in turn leased it to Prince Won Bleucher, who, though placing certain restrictions, allowed tourists to land in some cases. The island has been inspected. Mir. McKenna said, and no evidence was found of military prepa- rations. The authorities of Guernsey have been asked to take steps to termi- nate the lease of the German firm.

The advantage in the great battle which is being fought in the region between the vistula and Warta rivers in Poland appears, according to the latest adVices, to be on the side of the Russians. A special despatch re- ceived in Paris from Petrograd even asserts thata the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas have won'a a decisive victory over the German troops un- der General Won Hindenburg. How ever this may be, the official reports from both the German and the Rus sian war offices indicate that General Won Hindenburg has been checked on his second advance on Warsaw.
 That this battle is being fought with great stubbornness is certain. Grand Duke Nicholas, who for two days in succession has recorded partial sue cesses, has received endorsements and against this reinforced army, General Won Hindenburg is hurling his troops in inpetuous assaults.
 In the western theatre the Germans have been violently bombarding Ppres in Flanders. Soissons in the valley of the valley of the Aisne and the Rheims and making attacks in the Argonne region. The Germans claim thaat they have been gaining ground in the last named district, but the French assert the attacks here were repulsed. Mili-
 
 of this activity may be intended to draw attention from the quarter in. which the supreme attack is to be made.
 The British secretary for India Is a statement records the defeat of the Turkish fleet in the Persian gulf and admits a victory for the Germans over a British force in East Africa
 The Germans have suffered two na- val reverses. The submarine U U-1S was rammed off the north coast of Scotland by British patrol ship and foundered. All the men on board the submarine with the exception of one man were rescued The German tor pedo destroyer S-124 has been run down off the coast of Sweden and sunk by Danish steamer. The crew of the war vessel was saved. The des- troyer was lowed into a Swedish port, where she will be interned

 A newspaper despatch from Petro- grad says that the British embassy in Constantinople has been sacked, the Russian hospital pil1aged and that all foreigners have been subjected toI abuses.

Had Anything to Do With the Pardon.
 Ing of Albert r. Patrick.

St. Louis. Mo, Nov. 2s.-John T. MiIliken today emphatically denied that a mining deal between himself and a banker of Wall street, New York. had anything to do with the granting of a pardon to Albert T. Pat rick by Governor Dix.

Milli- ken, brother-in-Iaw of Patrick.
 Legal expenses and other incidentals to the long fight for Patrick's pardon cost MT. Milliken about $150.000, the St. Louis millionaire said.
 Goodrich is angry at me because I would not give him an option for the purchase of a certain gold mine," MT. Milliken said. T did later give that option to a New York firm, but the name of Patrick never was mentioned in connection with the deal"
