MILITARY
 BUDGET IN HISTORY
 OF ENGLAND URGED
British Under Secretary In- trOduces Measure In House of COmmOns-Press Bu-
 reau Defended

London, February S.--tes0s P. m.) The introduction of the largest mili- tary budget In the history of Great Britain shared the stage in the House of Commons today with . discussion of the official press bureaus activities. The task of introducing the budget fell on the parliamentary secretary of the war office. H. J. Tennant, as Earl Kitchener, secretary for war, is a member of the House of Lords.
 Two more days have been allotted to the discussion of these "army es- timates." which are called 'blanket check budget" because the accounts of actual money which will be expended under them are represented by nom final or token figures. Remnants speech was stirring tribute to the British army and a plea for more recruits.
 Tt is true" he said, that recruiting thus far has been satisfactory, but 1t varies from week to week and pos sibly at the present moment little more energy put into recruiting would not be out of place. There is no cause for discontent. but we want more men, Every man will be needed in this great life and death struggle. The variations and vicissitudes of this war yet may call for even greater sacrifices from the nation than have yet been made. :
 Appeals to Labor Party
 The under secretary appealed to the labor party to help organize labor forces so that when a man joined the colors his place would be supplied.
 The press bureau discussion was brought on by a motion by Joseph King, liberal, of North Somerset, that the action of the press bureau in re- stricting the freedom of the press and withholding information about the war has been guided by no clear principles and has been calculated to cause sus- picon and discontent."
 MT. King urged that the press bu- reau issue a daily or tri- weekly statement as to the progress, successes and reverses of the British troops at the front. He added:
 ''The press bureau ought to be used for freer dissemination of authentic in- formation which would allay alarming and dangerous rumors.'
 Defends Press Work
 Sir Stanley o. Buckmaster, director of the press bureau, defended it's work He declared he never had withhold for five minutes any information that he possessed. Moreover. he had published instantly everything that it was in his power to publish.
 q can conceive nothing" he said, better calculated to give satisfaction to our enemies, who are endeavoring to discredit our official news. than the announcement that it has been sug- gested in the House of Commons that the press bureau Is the subject Of sus- picion.'
 5 Sir William F. Byles. who seconded MT. Kings motion, asked If any dis asters had been concealed, as there had been endless stories of capital ship loss some months ago off the north coast of Ireland.
 The speaker replied that that was an admiralty matter which could not be discussed under the head of army estimates.

COTTON LOAN PLAN
 ENDS EXISTENCE
Applications For Loans Only Amounted to S2S, S,00O-Sub-
 scriptiOns Not Needed

Washington, February S.-Loans under the s135. 900 cotton fund plan have been closed and the plan virtually ended it's existence tonight with an an- nouncement from the central commit tee-the federal reserve board. acting as individuals-that subscriptions prob ably would not be called for. bppli- cation amounted to only S2s,000 and this was not obtained from the fund but elsewhere on notes and collateral offered with the applications.
 Subscribers, the central committee points out, have not been released from liability for their propertionate share of the s2S,ooO. but if all loans are paid, subscriptions will not be needed.
 The announcement says that sub scriptions aggregated s101.0S6. 100 from banks, 1S5 firms and IT individuals, ranging from s10O to 1000, ,0OO and rep resenting 64 cities in 1s states and the District of Columbia.
 "The beneficial effects of the fund" says the announcement, ''are not to be measured by the small amounts actu- ally loaned. It's benefits consisted largely in the public knowledge that there was a source of assistance " hich could be confidently looked to and ayailed of When the organization of the cotton loan fund was undertaken, the exchanges were closed fixed uuota- tions for cotton were unobtainable, i demand for the staple was light and sales were being made in some in- stances at prices as low as five cents pound The buying movement W hicn set in following the establishment of this fund has carried prices up to eight cents and exports since December 1 have exceeded those for the same period of year ago."
 The committee expresses it's thanks to bankers and business men active in working out details and says the chairman has addressed letters to state committee chairmen thanking them for assistance. ss4..
 In letter to class "A" subscribers to the fund the committee says that the three per cent guarantee fund contributed by borrowers to cover ex- penSeS and losses was insufficient to meet the expenses and would have made the cost of loans so great that the amounts contributed for this pur- pose have been returned. The expenses of the cotton loan committees so far as the central committee knows, have been borne by the individuals conpos- ing those committees.
