Estimate for Next Year Largest
in Peace Time.
REVENUES $75O,OOO,OoO
Increased Budget Due To Plans For
Army and Navy Expansion
and Needs OF State
Department.


Washington.-Th largest estimates
OF government expenditures ever sub
mitted to a Secretary of the Treasury
of the United States in time of peace
was presented for the next fiscal year,
as required by law, for discussion by
Congressional committees in advance
of the regular session. They Will be
examined in detail by President viii
son and his Cabinet this week.
With an estimated increase for ma
tional defense Of about s150,000,00 %
over last year, together with the cost
of new tasks imposed on the State De-
partment and other branches OF the
Government by reason of the European
war; 1t is probable the amount OF ex-
penditures will be augmented to a
total of about $1,240,000,0O0. If Con-
gress agrees to the Administrations
program for strengthening the army
and navy, it will be obliged to provide
for additional revenue legislation or
the executive branch of the Govern
ment must issue bonds.
Although no estimate OF receipts for
the fiscal year beginning July l, 1916,
in which the increased expenditures
will take effect, has been made by Sec
retary McAdoo, officials now are con-
vinced they cannot count upon more
than $3.50, 100000 for the II months,
and some believe that the total income
will not go over s7OO,OOO.OOO.
Faces s1s5,ooo,ooo Deficit.
Congress is to be asked to pass two
revenue measures early in the coming
session, one extending the emergency
war tax, which expires December 81
next, and the other providing for re-
tention of the present duty on sugar
beyond next May, when it would go on
the free list. Passage of these meas
ures, however, would not increase the
present revenue. With both in effect
at present, there has been deficit of
35OOO,OOO
Estimates for the Government de-
partments, except State, War and
Navy, are practically the same as last
year. Additional force in the diplo-
matte and consular service and at the
State Department, and extraordinary
expenses abroad in tho work being
done by American Embassies and lega-
tions, will require an increase Of about
$1,300,000 for the State Department.
The 100000 appropriated by Con-
gress as an emergency war fund for
use of that department has been near
/ ly all spent, but much of il already
has been or will be reimbursed, so
that the reappropriation will not rep
resent any real expense.
The ordinary disbursements of last
year were about $780,, 100000. II the
receipts are as much as $750,000,000 in
the coming year and the appropria-
tions of all Government departments
but the State, War and Navy remain
the same, there still would be, with
the added budget for national defense,
an estimated deficit of more than
$1S5, 100000.

WAR ON SERBIA

FIGHTING ON ALL FRONTS
Sir Edward Grey Discusses Balkans
In Commons, But Throws No
Light On saloniki Ex-
pedition.

London. Bulgaria, by formally de-
claring war against Serbia, became
the twelfth nation to engage in the
great European conflict
The ostensible immediate cause OF
the declaration, according to the
statement Of the Bulgarian Minister
at Athens to the Greek Government
was an attack by Serbian column on
the Bulgarians near Kostendil, South
west Bulgaria. when 20 men were
killed and 500 wounded.
Sir Edward Grey the British For
eign Secretary, made long statement
I'm the House of Commons on the sit
uation in the Balkans, but as he dealt
with the diplomatic side of the ques-
tion, he added little to the knowledge
of the public and failed to satisfy
curiosity as to the progress of the
Anglo-French expedition landed at
Saloniki. He did say, however, that
Russian troops would cooperate "as
soon as they were available"

had more cheering news for the allied
countries when, in the French Senate,
he expressed the belief that 1.-The AL
lies can count on Italian cooperation
in the Balkans"
These diplomatic questions are not
delaying the military operations. The
Austro-Germ and Bulgarian attacks
on Serbia are proceeding apace.
1t is reported also that the Allies
have begun an offensive in the Dar-
danelles to keep the Turks busy.
The Russians are continuing their
attacks in Galicia in an effort to clear
the Austrians from the Roumanian
frontier and prevent them from send
ing any further reinforcements against
Serbia.
Attack On All German Fronts.
In fact, there appears to be a gen
eral attack on all the German fronts.
The British and French, Berlin states,
have attacked in Flanders and Cham
payne, while the German official re-
port of the campaign in Russia is a
record of counter-attacks against the
Russians, who are endeavoring to re-
gain the initiative.
Even the Belgian coast is not ex-
cepted, British monitors having again
been bombarding the German posi-
tiOns along this coast.
