General Field Headquarters, German
Army, in France, Jan. 19-"More of
such offensive (referring to the pres
ent offensive operations in the Allies
campaign), can only be welcome to
us.
"The British are good fighters, but
an army without necessary officers,
and non-commissioned officers, is
scarcely an army, according to pres
ent day standards. They may send
thew over to attack us, but think We
are strong enough to beat and drive
them back with bloody heads.
1--WE are fully prepared for any at
tempt at landing in Belgium; the soon

The general talked frankly of the
present military situation and pros

to force us to stop fighting. We are
amply supplied with food and ma

The general said Germany would
carry on the war until the enemy was
so defeated that a possibility Of the
repetition of this unprovoked attack
upon us would be completely elimi'
mated"
Situation is Excellent.
"Our present situation military
is excellent" he continued. I'VE
have no cause of complaint. We have
carried the war into the enemy's
country on both sides. We are still
there after five months Of war. Our
present lines are very strong; the
advantage is all on our side thus far.
Points to Success.

AUDITORS BUDGET STARTED
Total Appropriation Requests
Amount to Over Four Mil

State Auditor Carl 0. JOrgensonr has
almost completed mis- budget for the
next biennial period. but few items or
bills being reported as not in his
hands at this time.
Mr.. Jorgenson estimates the state's S
income from all sources for the period
from July I, 1915, to July /, 1917, will
amount to $3,239,931. This esti-
mate is made on the same basis of
taxation as at present is in force.
The total appropriation requests, he
figures, will amount to $4,200,0OO-
this amount being requested for the
biennial period designated above.
Therefore, it looks as if just about
one million dollars will have to be
shaved off the appropriation requests
in order to come out even.
That problem will be taken up by
the appropriation committees of the
two houses of the legislature-and
some problem it will be, it seems.
Appropriation Requests.
The following is complete state
ment of the appropriation requests
as the state auditor is now able to
give out:

Estimated Income.
The estimated income for
the period July 1st, 1915
to July 1st, 1917, is 80. $3,239,931.00
