Members of Congress and gov
ernment officials generally are
awaiting with intense interest
the publication ofthe final figures
showing the I'm ,ncial condition
of the United States at the close
OF the fiscal year on lure 80. The
results disclosed win have AN
effect upon the legislation to be
enacted by the next Congress
and may exercise a decisive in.
fuence upon the fortunes OF the
present administration.
1t IS certain that one OF the
FIRST tasks OF the Sixty fourth
Congress will be to provide re.
venue for the support of the gov
ernment. The ne " tariff law has
proved disappointing in its yield
and the income from this source
will be only about $2lO,OOO,OOO
instead of nearly $3OO,OOO,OOO
received last year from customs
duties. Receipts from the income

The war taxes, however have
fallen below early estimates and
have broughts in only about
$24, 100000 On the other hand
expenses are running higher than
ever, and were $3O,OOO,OOO

year, aside from the postal ac-
count. The Post Office Depart

cumulated deficit OF SIS OOO..

twelve months. Financial ex
pcrts familiar with governmental

prosperous when the people own
their own homes. -.he building

new interest amongst our farm

Daniels Conjures
Great Names.


1t is pleasant reading to be in.
formed that Thomas A. Edison,
Henry Ford, Orville Wright and
other gentlemen who have won
signal renown. may advise Uncle
Sam as to the best methods TO
be employed to increase the effic-
iency of the national fighting
force. But in all this talk about
"unpreparedness" it must not be
thought that our government
has been asleep, or that the ad-
vice of few renowned citizens
will be sufficient to straighten
out whatever difficulties there
may be in the way of lack of pre-
paration. Secretary Daniels is
endeavoring to put tremendous
force behind his work, as the sup
port of well known Americans in
private life will help to put thru
the plans being formulated by
the Navy officers. 1t must not
be forgotten that Annapolis and
West Point furnish the best CO.
uipped men in the country for its
Navy and Army. These men
have male careful study Of
every result obtained in the
European war. and with help of
the advisory board they expect
to be able to convert Congress
to do bigger things in the way
OF providing better methods OF
offence and defence.

China Sends New Reply;
Yields More to Japan;
War Not Thought Likely

PEKING May 1.-THE Chinese gov
eminent has sent new reply to
Japan which is expected to avert q
serious crisis. While the text Is as
yet unknown, officials say that it
is an acceptance, under protest, OF
the Japanese demands.
1t is reported in diplomatic circles
here that President Yuan Shi kai
and his advisers, after an all-night
conference. decided that 1t would be
suicidal to attempt to oppose the
japanese demands by force Of arms.
1t is not known whether the con-
cessions now offered will suffice for
japan. There has been an evident
disposition on the part of the Japa-
nese to insist on the very letter of
their demands and there Is the pos
sibility that they will still do so, but
the situation IS much brighter today
than it was yesterday
