his say, in bringing about a saving OF
81 100000 IN the cost of New YORK
City's administration.
The Mayor contided several OF his
financial plans to the Mems Club OF
the First Congregational Church, IN
Flushing, Long Island, last night. An
audience of 500 turned out to hear HIM
speak on How to Better the Govern
ment Of the City of New York
He tried TO excuse the present ad-
ministration's recommendation OF IN
creased taxation on the ground that
large expenditures, over which the
Board Of Estimate had no control,
caused acute problems. He said that
100000 was saddled on the city for
county government, S5,500,000 for char
table institutions, $2,0OO,0O0 for courts,
81. 800 900 for the Board of Elections
and, finally, s6,5O0,OOO in uncollectible
taxes had to carried over from the
preyious administration. Over these
items the Board of Estimate has no
jurisdiction.
As for the cost of actual sdministra-
that there had been saving of 81
OOO. 900, and the outlook for l9l5-16
was even brighter. "The cost of ad-
ministration will not go up" said the
Mayor; sit will go down"
He announced that more than 1,oOO
men will be dropped in the Dock De-
partment, and that heavy cuts Will be
made in the Water Departments force
Also that he has in mind consollda-
ton of certain bureaus which VIII mean
a saving to the city.
"The budget, so far as administra-
ton is concerned, will be 100000
lower" said the Mayor, and FASTENED
70 explain that he favored additional
EXPENSES for more school teachers ana
more policemen.
Mayor Mitchell next took up the ques-
ton of the state tax, and said that hav-
ing to pay 20 per cent of the state tax,
with a minority representation IN the
LEGISLATURE, will cause an increase OF
inward of S14,000,000 in the budget.

Russians, in New Battlefront,
Plan to Crush Invaders
IBy The Associated Press.

Petrograd Feb 23-Making claim to
marked successes in the Carpathians
and to having defeated the German of
fensive campaign in the north, which
never emerged from its period of
preparation" Russian staff officers took
an optimistic view to-day of the out
look along the whole front. The Ger
man advance from East Prussia has
been stopped owing larkely TO the
flooding Of rivers and the melting OF
snow, while the attempt to cross the
Bobr River has been thwarted. A new
battle line has thus been formed in
the north, along which there is unin-
terrupted lighting.
On the other hand, operations in the
Carpathians are developing rapidly,
and the Austrians' right flank is now
threatened by the Russian offensive
movement. Near Krasne, thirty miles
east of Lemberg, the Russians re-
pulsed an Austrian division. thus put
ting a check on the movements of
Austro- German forces which were at
tempting TO concentrate at Stanislau.
The situation in Northern Poland,
however, is regarded as of greatest
immediate importance. The position
of the Germans near Ossowetz is con-
sidered critical, since they are under
attack from the heavy guns of the
fortress and are unable to bring up
their own heavy artillery, owing to the
poor roads.
A stubborn fight on the road to
Lomza was won by the Russians, with
the result that the important point of
Edvabno still remains in their hands.
The only location in that general
vicinity still in dispute is Przasnysz,
fifty miles west Of Lomza. According
to Russian staff officers, the Germans
have gathered large force near this
point and are expected to attempt an
advance.

Mrs. Norman Gait, soon to be Mrs.

score with Washington society. Her
husband was lin trade" so Washing

score has been piling up for nineteen
years.
Before her marriage, Edith Boiling,
of Wytheville, Va, did not know what
it was to receive a social snub. The
Bollings were "kin" to all the first
families In Virginia, aud Virginia's

anything which superior wealth may
have brought to the later social corners.
But trade-retail trade-even though

bar sinister on the name of Gait. So
Washington did not extend its arms.

The greatest financial genius l ever

There is no greater financial genius

way of taking care of your surplus
than to invest it in sound securities
