LARGEST WAR BUDGET
IN ENGLAND'S HISTORY
Official, in Introducing Measure
Says Nation Needs
Every Man.

LONDON. February 9.-The largest
military budget in the history Of Great
Britain has been introduced in the house
of commons.
The task of introducing the budget fell
upon the parliamentary secretary Of the
war office. H. J. Tenant, as Earl
Kitchener. secretary for war. is a MEN,
Der of the house Of lords.
Two days have been allotted to the
discussion of these army estimates"
which are called a blank check budget"
because the accounts of actual money
which Will be expended under them are
represented by nominal or token figures.
Under Secretary Tenants speech was q
stirring tribute to the British army and a
plea for more recruits.
Appeal for Recruits.
1T is true" he said, that recruiting
thus far has been very satisfactory. but
it varies from week to week, and Dos
sibly at the present moment little moro
energy Put into recruiting would not be
out Of place. There Is no cause for dis
content. but we want more men Every
man will be needed in this great life and
death struggle. The variations and vcie-
STUDIES of this war may yet call for even
greater sacrifices from the nation than
have yet been made
He appealed to the labor party to
help organize the forces of labor so
that when a man Joined the colors his
place would be adequately supplied,
