Los Angeles, Missing actual
election by narrow margin, Charles
f. Sebastian, suspended chief of po-
lice, was chosen by the people of the
city in the primary today for first
place on the mayorality ticket which
will go before the electorate in the
general election next month. Sebas-
tian received approximately two
ti.ths of a vote which probably will
not exceed 65, 900 of the citys total
registration, of 100000.
Frederick j. Whiffen, president OF
the city council, was beaten for first
place in the general election by two
to one, but outdistanced four other
competitors. The fact that six candi-
dates shared the total vote is assign
cd as the sole reason why Sebastian
did not poll a clear majority and thus
achieve election in the primary.

OVER TEN MILLIONS DAILY
WAR COST TO GREAT BRITAIN

London, England,-ln one of the
shortest budget speeches on record,
lasting only about an hour, David
Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, gave the British public fur
ther insight into what the war is
costing the nation.
The expenditure, he said, at pres
ent was 10,500,000 duty, and that
if the war continued year, Eng
lands bill would be upwards of five
billions of dollars.
Hinted at New Taxes
The chancellor declined to predict
the length of the war. He hinted
however, that it was likely to be nee
essary to introduce measures to call
for new taxes.
Cmoparing the financial problems
of England and Germany. he remark
ed that while the imports of Englant
had increased enormously and ex-
ports had decreased considerably
both the imports and exports of Ger
many had been cut off by the British
blockade.
Referring to the question Of dis
termination in recruiting, the chan
cellor stated that the Allies ought te
determine the part England should
play in the combination, and the bes
lservice she could render.
