Largest Estimates of Gov ernment Expendit ure S Ever Submitted to Secre- tary of Treasury Are to Be Presented Today
MORE REVENUE
 BE NECESSARY
Congress May Be Asked to Pass Two Revenue Meas ures Early in the Com ing Session, One Extend ing War Tax
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIPArcH1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The largest estimates for government ex- penditures ever submitted to the sec retary of the treasury of the United States in time of peace will be pre- sented for the next fiscal year to- morrow for discussion by the con- gressional committee in advance of the regular session. They will be examined in detail by the president and his cabinet next week
 With an estimated increase for ma tional defense of $15O, 1000, 900 together with the cost of the new task inn posed on the state department and other branches of the government by reason of the war, it is probable the amount of expenditure will total S1.- 240,0OO,O0O. If congress agrees to the administrations program of strength ening the army and navy, it will be obliged to provide for adequate re- venue for legislation or the executive branch of the government must is sue bonds. Officials are convinced the receipts for the fiscal year will not exceed s75O,000,0OO.
 Some believe the total of the in come will be s7OO.0OO, 100000. Con gress will be asked to pass two revenue measures early in the com ing session. One for extending ~the emergency war tax, which expires at the end of the year. The other pro- vides for the retention of the pres ent duty on sugar beyond May, when it is scheduled to go on the free list. These measures will not increase the present revenues. With both in eff feet at present there has been a deficit of s35,000,000.
 Estimates for the government de- partments except the state. war and navy are practically the same as last year The additional force in the diplomatic and consular service and the state department and the extra ordinary expense abroad in the work being done by the American embassies and legations require an increase of about $1,3O0,0O for the state depart ment.

HONOLULU, Oct. 14.-Unconvoyed and displaying a new broom at her bow the United States submarine K entered the Honolulu harbor today. She completed the trip from San Francisco under her own power, without a stop of the engine, or any delay through accidents. This con- stituted a new feat for long distance cruising for United States submar- ines. The K-4, Ks and KS also under their own power, ended their journey, which began at San Fran cisco on October 3.
 The cruiser Maryland, the Collier Nanshan, the tug Iroquois and des- troyer Lawrence. which conveyed the submarines, remained outside the harbor to give them the full glory of an unassisted finish. According to Captain Freeman of the navy, who accompanied the expedition to ob- serve the progress, the KY made the journey without hitch or once call = ing upon her escorts for assistance.

WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-Negotia . tons with Germany for the settle ment of the cases arising from the sinking of the Lusitania, the Cush- ing, the Gulflight and the Nebra skan. will be resumed next week by Sec retary of State Lansing and Am bassador Won Bernstorff The United States made it clear after the Arabic was torpedoed with no warning. that there would be no further discussion of the Lusitania or the other cases until the incident was disavowed and reparation promised. The case of the Lusitania presents the greatest difficulty.
 In the cases of the Nebraskan and Gulflight. Germany has already ex- pressed regrets and promised to pay damages. The liability for damage to the Cushing, which was attacked by airmen, has never been assumed by Germany, which stated that if America can prove that the airmen were Germans payment will be made for all damages. At the time the Lusitania was struck. the German commander was understood to be act ing in accordance with instructions generally given to sink belligerent ships without warning Germany has expressly disclaimed all liability for the loss of neutral lives in such oc- currence, by notifying neutral na- tions of the proclamation of a war zone. The state department officials are passing the case on the legal aspects. taking view that the Ger man naval code which was issued at the beginning of the war conformed with the international law. requiring that the passengers and crew be re- moved to place of safety. The officials contend that the war zone decree was confessedly a retaliatory measure and could not diminish the legal rights of the neutrals and that Germany is therefore liable for in- demnity for the loss of more than one hundred American lives on the Lusi- tania.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LONDON, Oct. 14-Sir Edward Grey
 has made a statement in the house of commons on the situation in the Bal kars It deals with the diplomatic side
 Of the question, added little to the
 knowledge of the public and did not satisfy the curiosity as to the progress of the allies expedition in Saloniki. He said that the Russians would cooperate as soon as troops were available. Pre- mier Viviani, in the French senate, ex- pressed his belief that the allies can count on Italian cooperation in the Balkans"
 There is speculation as to how the Italian and Russian assistance will be afforded Italy has the troops and the means of moving them to the desired spot, but the Russians are handicapped There is an inclination here to believe the report from Rome, that Petrograd has asked Rumania to allow troops to go through her territory on their way to Bulgaria. A granting of this request will be construed by Germany as amounting to a definite alliance with the entente and would doubtless result in a Teuton attack on Rumania. The Teuton Bulgarian attack on Serbia is proceeding dpdCe ana IHeellilS NlIH stern resistance. The Serbians are giving ground foot by foot. It is re- ported that the allies have begun the offensive in the Dardanelles, the Rus sians continuing their attack on Galicia in an effort to clear the Austrians from the Rumanian frontier and prevent the sending of further endorsements against Serbia. The British and French are attacking in Flanders and Cham pagne and British monitors are bonn barding the German positions along the Belgian coast.
 This, it is thought, might happen anyhow as Germany has already shown it's displeasure at Rumania's refusal to allow munitions to pass through to Turkey. It is reported that Germany has suspended the postal service and is holding foodstuffs consigned to Ru- mania over the German railways. until Bucharest clearly defines it's attitude toward the central powers. The diplo- matic questions are not delaying the military operations. The extent Of the Bulgaria invasion of Serbia, according to Nish, consists of an advance over the frontier, at one point nearly a mile With this exception, the fighting line is intact and the railway has not been

 Governor Hunt said last night he had not been advised as to when the conference between the mine man. agers and the new committee would be held, but that he presumed it would not be before this evening. or possibly tomorrow. He declined to express an opinion as to the prob able outcome of the conference But he reiterated his strong hope that the conference for discussion would resolve itself into a conference for arbitration.

Though Men Are Entirely Satisfactory to Strikers the Feeling Throughout District is Said to Be Pessimistic
 SAY CONFERENCE
 BE FRUITLESS New Committee Meets Ex- ecutive Board and De- cides on No Modification in Demands in the Hands of Managers
By Ernest Douglas

| tSpeclal Representative ot The Re , publican)
 CLIFTON, Oct. 14.-J. s. Hughes
 NJ. Hollingsworth Henry Daly, Ra- fino Garcia and Adolfo Palacio com
 pose the committee representing the worSingmen of the Clifton Morenci
 district in the latest effort to settle the strike. They will leave for Fl
 Paso on the regular 6:15 train tomor-
 row and will arrive about o'clock
 in the afternoon. It is possible an evening conference will be held with the managers, but it is unlikely that anything will be accomplished be- fore Saturday.
 Though the men chosen by the managers from the list of fifteen ratified and submitted yesterday are entirely satisfactory to the strikers the feeling throughout tho district is pessimistic. On all hands there are predictions that the conference will result in nothing. Some even predict that the managers will refuse to re- ceive the committee. They can hard ly dv this. as they wired Sheriff Cash this afternoon that they would be willing to meet the five men named and pay all their expenses.
 The mana gers never wired the sheriff they would meet the first committee which went to Fl Paso. Sheriff Cash took the committee without any such assurance, believ- ing the managers would surely con fer if the strikers representatives were on the ground.
 Tonight the new committee met the executive committee for final talk over the plans. It was unan- imously agreed there would be no modification in the demands which have been in the hands of the man a gers for several days.
 These are the four points for which the strikers will stick: Advance in wages; minimum wage: the right to continue the union affiliated with the Western Federation of Miners, though not demanding recognition; assurance that no one will be dis charged because of activity in the strike.
 This latter includes the mainten- ance of the grievance committee, to whom all discharged employees may appeal.
 The strikers continue supremely con- fident they can hold out indefinitely The relief work is being carried on as usual. Liberal contributions have been received and promised from the other camps in the state. So far there has been no shortage of funds. It is re- ported that one shipment of food has not been delivered. This turned out to be that an order was duplicated by and cancelled.
