The total estimated receipts for the

disbursements for the present fiscal
year. including twenty-five millions for
the Panama canal, twelve millions for
probable deficiency appropriations and
$4,000 for miscellaneous debt redemll
lions, will be S753,S91,000, and the bal
ance In the general fund of the treas.
ury will be reduced to $20.644.605.7S.
The emergency event act If contin-

themselves and their honor az citizens

TESTIMONY OF ROOSEVELT
is REFUTED BY BARNES.
Had Done None of Half Dozen Things
Testified to by Roosevelt.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 13.-This was
William Barnes day in court in the
trial of his libel suit against Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The former chairman
of TIE republican state committee
spent two hours upon the witness
stand in contradicting wholly or in
part various portions of the testimony
of Colonel Roosevelt and in giving his
own version of several incidents de-
scribed by the. former president of the
United States.
Mr.. Barnes swore that he did not
talk to Colonel Roosevelt about the
franchise tax bill prior to it's passage.
He denied emphaticaIly that he had
asked tie then governor of New York
not to sign the bill. With equal en-
phasis he denied that he had ever
told Colonel Roosevelt that men iden-
titled with big business interests con-
tributeded to both both parties in
order to gain protection and that if it
was not given them they would cease
to contributes; that he had urged the
rea ppointment of Lou Payne as state
superintendent of insurance and that
he had discussed legislative and exc
cutive matters with Colonel Roosevelt
on many occasions" He said he did
none of these or half a dozen other
things the colonel described him as
having done

the driving of the list band of Ger

Three German Companies AnnihiIated.
In obtaining these victories the
Paris war office aserts that the Ger
mans lost heavily from rife fire and
artillery. At one point of the front,
the bodies of three companies of Ger
mans, which had been annihilated by
artillery, were found on the field.
Berlin Admits Losses.
Berlin admits these losses in part,
declaring that Carency and the west
ern part of Ablain, St Nazaire and
the foremost trenches between Neu-
vile and Carency have been taken and
that on this occasion a number of
our brave men and much material
again were lost Admission also is
made that the French penetrated the
foremost trenches of the Germans at
Orcyp Des Carmes-over a width of
from $50 TO 500 feet-but Berlin says
that after bitter hand to hand fight
ing the German positions here were
again cleared of all Frenchmen.
Western GaIicia Operations.
Petrograd says the fighting in
western Galicia is decreasing in inten-
sity and that the Russian offensive
farther south, along the Dniester
river, is meeting with continued sue

SAYS ENGLAND MAY
RESORT TO DRAFTING
Or Some Other Method Othern Than
Volunteer System

London, May May 19, GAS p. M
Viscount Haldane, lord high chancel-
lor said in the house of lords today
that the government might yet deem
it advisablne to resort to some
method of raising troops other than
the enrolment of volunteers. In sup
porting the bill to give the govern
ment power to control the sale of Ii
quor in districts in which munitions of
war are manufactured, which was be-
fore the house of lords, on second
reading, Viscount Haldane said:
I'VE are fighting four our lives"
He added that the opinion had been
expressed that until the return of
normal conditions the volunteer sys-
tenn would be difficult to depart from,
yet we may find that we have to re-
consider the situation in the light of
the tremendous necessities wherewith
the nation is confronted. We are not
face to face with that problem yet

ness did so except under a misappre-
hension of the orders issued by the
imperial German naval authorities. 1t
takes it for granted that, at least with
in the practical possibilities of every
such case, the commanders even of
submarines were expected to do moth
ing that would involve the lives of
non-combatants or the safety of neu
trail ships, even at the cost of failing
of their object of capture or destruc-
ton.
Prevent Recurrence.
cit confidently expects, therefore,
that the imperial German government
will disavow the acts of which the gov
ernment of the United States COM
plains. that they will make reparation
as far as reparation is possible for in
juries which are without measure and
that they will take immediate steps to
prevent the recurrence of anything so
obviously subsersive of the principles
of warfare for which the imperial Ger
man government have in the past so
wisely and so firmly contended.
Expect Just Action.
1.-THE government and people of the
United States look to the imperial Ger
man government for just, prompt and
enlightened action in this vital matter
with the greater confidence because
the United States and Germany are
of friendship but also by the explicit
stipu1ations of the treaty of 1928 be-
tween the United States and the king
dom of Prussia.
Regret No Justification.
Expressions of regret and offers of
reparation in case of the destruction
of neutral ships sunk by mistake,
while they may satisfy international
obligations, if no loss of life results,
cannot justify or excuse a practice, the
natural and necessary effect of which
is to subject neutral nations and neu-
trail persons to new and immeasurable
risks.
VIII Safeguard Rights of Citizens.
THE imperial German government
will not expect the government of the
United States to omit any word or any
act necessary to the performance of its
sacred duty of maintaining the rights
of the United States and it's citizens
and of safeguarding their free exer-
else and enjoyment.

Cape Town, via London, May 13,
11.20 p. m.-Anti-German rioting broke
out here tonight and a number of
prominent German business establish
ments were wrecked, looted or set on
fire.
The rioters paraded in unorganized
bands, and for a time the police were
able to control them; but the number
of bands increased so rapidly that they
got out of hand, neceSsitating the call
ing out of the military to patrol the
streets.
The rioters were mainly negroes
They first attacked the German club,
which was strongly guarded by police
and troops. On being informed that
the building was no longer German
property. but was occupied by the
military authorities, the rioters left
there and turned their attention to the
store of the German firm of Spilhaus
The mob first sang the British ma
tional anthem, during which the police
saluted and the people barred their
heads. Then they shattered the build
ing and partially burned it, Next
Muller's large music warehouse was
attaslzed and fired. Then came a raid
on the hardware store of Koch &
Dixie, which also was set on fire. The
fire brigade was powerIess to cope with
the numerous calls from various parts
of the city.

it is firm in tone and leaves no doubt

1.-THE president of the American re-
public is an eminent jurist with firm
views as to justice and humanity.
The United States has at heart the
justification of its position as a great
country and also wishes to count
among the great contemporary naval
powers. These are sentiments which
inspired the president, who at the
same time proclairns that the United
States should give an example of peace
for a sublime influence in the world.

PRESIDENT WILSON TO
REVIEW ATLANTIC FLEET.
Plans to Leave Washington Today
Return Next Wednesday.

Washington, May 13. - President
Wilson decided today to leave tomor-
row instead of Saturday for New York,
where he is to review the Atlantic
fleet next week. He will make the trip
on the yacht Mayflower and will be
away until next Wednesday or Thurs
day morning, unless present plans are
changed.
The president has been tired out by
his constant application for the last
few days to the work of preparing
Americas note to Germany. His ad-
visors think he needs a rest and while
the Mayfower will be in constant
touch with shore, no stenographer will
be taken and only necessary work will
be done.
During his visit to New York the
president will review a land parade,
speak briefly at a luncheon given by
the mayors committee, attend a din
ner on the battleship Wyoming and
review the fleet.
