EFFORT TO KEEP
DOWN EXPENSES
Estimates Presented to Congress To-
day Are $17,8O6,64S Less Than
for Current Year, Carrying Out
Wilson'S Policy Of Retrenchment
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. Estimates
presented to Congress to-day put the
cost of conducting the government dur
ing the fiscal year 1916, which begins
on July /, next, at $780, ,775, l34.
This sum is s3,392,962 less than
the Congressional appropriations for
the current fiscal year ending next
June 80, and $17,906,64S less than
the estimates for the current year.
Without salary increases of any
kind, no estimates whatever for new
public buildings and all items reduced
by order of President Wilson to what
departmental heads consider the mini
mum, the estimates represent the adj
ministration s effort TO keep the gov
ernmental expenditures Within its in
come which has been decreased by the
European war. BY grand divisions, the
estimates submitted to-day are as fol-
lows:
Estimates for Departments
Legislative, s7,641,04s; executive,
$31,S45,SS9; judicial, $1,240,5 $50;
department Of agriculture, $40, ,706.-
013; postal service, S297 50, ,164; !;
foreign intercourse, s4,607,1S2; mill
tary, 5,S66,S49; naval, s142,619,-
003 Indian affairs, $9,5S3, 463; pen
sions, $166, 100000; Panama canal,
s1s,s31, ,S65; public works, s7s,s17,-
541 miscellaneous, S2,S43,325; per-
manent annual appropriations, S121,-
567,207.
With the expectation that the pos
nal service will continue to be self
sustaining the postal item of s297,-
1851 will be deducted as it is re-
turned to the treasury from postal
earnings leaving the actual total of ex-
penditures at S793,419,970.
Reduced to the Minimum
AS there is such a comparatively
small change in the estimates there is
also eompa ratively little change in the
items of fixed charges and new esti-
mates for expenditures have been re-
dueed to the minimum. While the rule
is one of reductions, the army and navy
establishments alone show increases of
any note. The army estimate is in
creased $105, ,S66,S50 as against a cur
rent appropriation of 01,977,S02:
tine. naval estimate is s142,619,033
against a current appropriation of
Sal, 1,393,217.
Estimates for the legislative esbab-
lishment include salaries and expenses
of Congress. The executive estimates
include the President, Vice President
and the Civil Service Commission.
Practically no changes are shown
there.
In the State Department the only
changes are some slight increases in
salaries, in contingent expenses for the
diplomatic and consular services grow
ing out of the Mexican situation and
the European war.

pense of collecting the income tax is

official statement:
"On the whole front the success of
the Servian army is reported. Every

Berlin, Dec. 7.-An official state
ment issued here to-day says:
Reports received in Berlin indicate

several attacks to cover the retreat
of the main army. Southeast of
Arandjelovac there is stubborn fight
ing without decision. Three hundred
prisoners were taken yesterday.

COEBEN. STRUCK BY IS
SHELLS. lost 126 wen

Paris, Dee. 7.-A dispatch to the
Havas Agency from Athens, says that
the cruiser Goeben, purchased by Tur-
key from Germany, is undergoing re-
pairs of the heavy damage suffered in
the battle with a Russian fleet in the
Black Sea recently. The Goebea was
struck by fifteen shells from Russian
ships, which are said to have killed 126
members of her crew, besides destroy
ing turret, a smoke stack and one en-
gine.
The Goeben's sailors, who were
killed. it is said, were buried in the
garden of the German Ambassador s
summer residence at Therapia, village
eight miles northeast of Constantinople
on the Bosphorus. Two-thirds of the
Goeben s crew are said to be Germans
and the remainder Austrians.
The Goeben was reported, in a dis.
patch from Petrograd November 10,
to have been badly damaged in bat
tie the preceding day between a divis-
ion of the Russian Black Sea fleet and
n Turkish detachment consisting of the
Goeben and Breslau, near the coast of
Anatolia, Asia Minor.
1t was said that series of explo-
sons were seen in the hull of the Goe-
ben, which opened fire slowly. After
the battle had continued 40 minutes
the Goehcn withdrew and disappeared
in the fog, taking advantage of her
speed. The Russian losses were given as
33 men killed and 25 wounded.
A Berlin dispatch, November 81,
stated that the Goeben lost only IL
men killed, and that the ship was
struck by only one shot, which took eff.
feet above the water line.
