BRITISH DEMAND RAID.
Attack on CUSbaven Thought Due to

A raid on the German naval bases

Something of the sort had been de-
manded by the British people. who

failure TO strike hard blow.
one of the surprises in the brief
statement by the Germans is the alb
sence OF submarines. There IL no
mention in the official statement tina,
submarines participated What appears
10 have taken place was a concerted
rush by cruisers. destroyers and aero
p.anes in an attempt to accomplish as
much damage as possible. The state-
ment does not explain how the war
ships were able to dodge the nina

goland mines have been sown thickly.

the British raid was to force an entrance

party Senators over patronage has not
strengthened the Presidents hand in

neved in II. seems lacking in the present
circumstance.

Gratis when they announced to the

Of the truth by more than sii.000.o00.
Republican leaders instead of accept
inr the carly Democratic estimates now

Administration, far from rctrenching,
is headed straight toward the biggest
record Of expenditures in the history
OF tho republic.
They submit figures in support of
this contention and they predict that
Congress will have to be called in spe-
ca session next summer to provide
the whercwithal to keep the wheels
Of Government in motion.
ON the first day of this session the
Secretary Of the Treasury sent the an
nuai budget OF estimates to Congress.
This called for total appropriations Of
81 $50 775,l5i. which was sis,O00.000
less than had been asked for the pre-
vious twelve months. This cut in est-
mates was loudly proclaimed by the
