England is Nou Spending

LONDON. Dec. 1.-The war has
cost Great Britain $3.50. 100000.
The daily expenditures of the nation
are now nearing S25,0OO,OOO.
These stupendous financial figures
were given by Premier Asquith in a
speech before the trades union con-
ference on national economy today.
The premier pointed out the neces-
sity for economy in all ways of Inv
ing.

REPUBLICANS To
HELP DEMOCRATS
Are Willing to Lend A Hand
in Preventing Lengthy
Debates.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The dem
ocratic senator's who are wrestling
with the problem of preventing de-
bate being used as a weapon for
flibustering can secure assistance
from the republicans. But to do so
they must abolish for all time the
caucus system. Sen Borah of Idaho
made this plain today. He stated
that he was opposed TO any guaran-
teeing rules of any kind but that he
would be willing to accept any rea-
sonable plan which would check I'M
limited debate.
When the democratic cloture COM
mittee resumed its sessions today it
was found still to be widely divided
Sen. owen. who is leading the clo-
ture fight said:
II believe that we will be able
to agree upon a rule which
when it becomes apparent that a
hhbuster is in progress. the majority
will be able TO fix a time for taking
a vote on the pending measure with
in two-day period. Such a restric-
ton would have no effect upon legit-
innate debate and would prove as
effective a weapon against filibuster-
ing"
Sen owen said that il was entirely
possible that the fight against any
cloture plan might delay the pre-
.sentation Of the presidents message.
He said that a fight against the
adoption of the rules might last
through several days. Meanwhile
the senate could not be organized to
receive the president and his mes
sage would be withheld. Such a con-
tingency would be entirely without
precedent
Friends Of Sen. Clarke of Arkan-
sas, said today that the fight against
his reelection as president pro TEN
of the senate. which is being made
by Sen. Reed Of Missouri. is certain
of defeat Clarke has enough votes
pledged for his reelection to enable
him to steam-roller the opposition.

expenditures, owing TO the war.
were unprecedented and appealed to
the conference TO make the burden
Of the government lighter by de-
ferring wage increase demands.
The government he said, are
asking the trade union leaders to
prevent a general demand for an ad-
Nance in wages. II is estimated that
four and a half million people have
obtained since the war began a
weekly average increase in wages Of
three shillings six pence"
According TO the premier's figures
the total wage increases borne by
the employers Of Great Britain since
the war amounts 10 S3,7SO,OO0
Continuing. the premier pointed
out that the cost OF food had in
creased 40 per cent. rents two per
cent fuel 25 per cent, clothing 30
per cent and miscellaneous items 10
per cent.
He asked that all classes be pre-
pared 10 deal with the question Of
wages and 10 contribute their share
TO the conduct OF the var.

Placed on Stand in Own
DefenSe-AdmitS Facts.
RELIEF PLANS MADE
BEFORE WAR STARTED
Ship Chartered But Sent Out
as Private Owned in Or
der to Escape Brit
iSh WarShipS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The evil
dence put in by the defense of the
Hamburg-American line conspiracy
trial today was a merely formal mat
ter to show intent
DR.. Karl Buenz, managing direc-
tor of the line, who was on the stand
at yesterdays adjournment and re-
sumed his testimony today, admitted
doing all that the government charg-
ed him with, but swore that the
false manifests were not known to
him and that the last idea in his
mind was to defraud or injure the
United States.
Adolph Hachmeister, George Koet-
ter and Joseph Poeppinghaus, the CO.
liar testimony 1t was not known
that the defense had any other wit
.nesses.
1t was expected that the supply
ship trial would be ended by Fri
day at the latest. The defense was
prepared to finish today. The gov
eminent had 80 witnesses which had
not been called but it appeared they
would not be needed in rebuttal.
Meant No Harm.
The main defense rests in the ar
gument. when William Rand, jr.,
will impress on the jury that the
Hamburg American officials meant
no harm TO this country. 1t is prob
able that the arguments and Judge
Howe's charge to the jury will take
up a whole day.
Buenz said it was the law in Ger
many that in time of war the i'm
perial government can commander
all property. He then told all about
the chartering of the ships He re-
ceived cabled instructions from Ham
burg telling him exactly where in
the Atlantic to send his chartered
vessels to look for German warships.
The whole procedure was carefully
mapped out before war was declared.
Buenz called in Adolph Hachmeis-
ter. chief of the commiSsary, and
George Koetter and consulted them.
Hachmeister called in the late John
II. Cans and from him Buenz char
tered the Berwind and LorenZ.
Buenz signed the charter parties, he
said, and induced Hachmeister about
the cargoes. To KOetter he entrust-
ed the task Of assigning the ships to
the desired parts of the Atlantic
Buenz said he signed all Of the 16
charters but had nothing TO do with
the manifests and clearances, which
We're left to Hachmeister.
Why were the ships not cleared
in the name of the Ham burg-Ameri-
can line?" Rand asked.
Because New Y ork was filled with
British spies and spies of the other
allies" said Buenz, and British war
ships were outside Sandy Hook all
the while. Had it been known that
they were our ships they would have
been seized as soon as they were
outside ,he three-mile limit"
Spent 100000.
Buenz said he spent about 500, 900
of the money of the Hamburg-Amer-
lean line in his war enterprise and
undertook obligations aggregating
81. 500, coo. OF this about $1,000, 600
was for charters and supplies and
$500, 900 for indemnities and loss and
damage. And all this. Buenz said,
