 LONDON. May 3.-According to the official statements of both Berlin and Vienna, the German-Austrian arms achieved a notable victory in West Galicia, smashing the entire Russian center along the front for many miles, or as Berlin puts it roughly, across the whole western tip of Galicia from nearly the Hungarian border to a point where the river Dunajec joins the Vistula. which is right at the frontier of Poland.
 Though the 5000 prisoners whom the Teutonic allies say they have taken. do not compare with the num- Der Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's s rush netted him in the north, the achievements if subsequent reports bear it out, will mean at least a tenn po-ary check to the Russian forces which have been hammering their way westward since the fall of Przemysl.
 Berlin also claims the Russian right is threatened and so far as claims go is was an Austro-German day. A number of vessels,' neutral and other wise. fell victims to German subma- rines. Norway being particularly a heavy loser.

 A. WELT.

apparently, increase our tonnage. lt should also be noted that the lndi- ana, Massachusetts and Oregon can no longer be included in our tonnage list: that the Iowa, Kearsarge, Ken lucky and Alabama will reach their age limit in 1916, while the Illinois, Wisconsin, Maine, Ohio and Missouri are due for replacement by 1920, as battleships become obsolete in twen- ty years. It is obvious, therefore, that a policy pursued according to this years programme of two battle ships with certain auxiliaries, no scout cruisers and no battle cruisers will lead nowhere if it is the real purpose of the nation to have an adequate navy, for we are not even following a program of new construction intend ed to replace those vessels which have been or will soon be condemned be cause unfit for service on account Of age.
 While, as the secretary has stated, the navy is today recruited to its maximum strength (which IS due to the decreased demand for labor in various lines of trade throughout the United States) yet the commander-in- chief, in a communication to the nav al academy. gives the opinion that the fleet lacks in its complete equipment, about 5000 men and number of officers.

BOSTON, May 3.-Forme- Secre- tary of. the Navy George von l.. Meyer made public last night a state ment reviewing the open letter from Secretary of the Navy Daniels to President Garfield of Williams Col lege, concerning the present status of the naval equipment of the United States. MT. Meyer opens with the statement that Secretary Daniels dis cussion of this subject leaves much to be desired in the way of informa- tion." The statement follows:
 The secretary neglects to state. when he refers to the last two years of the Taft administration, that the house of representatives which orig mates appropriations, was in control of the democrats on account of the by-elections; that they went into caucus and voted no battleships.' It was on the issue that no party could afford to caucus on patriotism, placed before the people by some of the lead ing papers at my request, that we broke the caucus and obtained, very g-udgingly, from the democrats one battleship for each of the remaining two years.
 "The war and the campaign of edu- cation on national defense, has in fiuenced congress in making more lib eral appropriations, but the third battleship Mir.

DISPENSING CASH WITH A LAVISH
 HAND
SoZons At WorROn
 Appropriation Bill
SMALL PROSPECT OF FIX PENSES OF STATE BEING ANY LOWER THAN FOR PAST TWO YEARS; HIGH SALARIES FOR ALL THE OFFICIALS.

PHOENIX. May }. - Before the whistles of high noon called the labor CTS from their tasks the Arizona house of representatives had sat" upon twenty separate items carrying a total appropriation of $136,SO0, which by a mighty wrench was sliced to $136, 300, a clear saving of $500, which is not to be sneezed at in these parlous times
 Contingent Fund $40,000.
 The corporation commission was allowed a contingent expense of S4O,- coo and the Hunt lobby never batted an eyelash when they put it over. The citizen member of the board of con trol is allowed $4,SO0 just the same as though it was a regular job, while the superintendent of insurance to the corporation commission is donated $4,8OO to live on while he is "supe in tending"
 The appropriation bill which was offered in the house this morning car ries approximately $2000,000, besides which there are a lot of other items to 90 in which will raise the total sev- eral hundred thousands of dollars. E In other words. the administration is standing pat and not shaving the general appropriations over the preceding two years by enough dol lars to fuzz a kittens tail. They are saying in effect: We want three mil lion dollars to run this state OUR way and we're going to have it or know the reason why
 The chances are that they are in a fair way to know the reason why, for the gentlemen who make themselves obnoxious to the Hunt lobby by iris ing to inquire" were promptly on the job. If the lobby had its way every member who rises to inquire would be burned at the stake.
 John Christy of Greenlee is the most persistent offender of this sort. For some reason Christy is seldom satisfied to nonchalantly pass $4O,OOO items in that offhand, mere noth- ing" sort of fashion so affected in our official circles.
 Billy Graham of Cochise is also a want to knowe;" and bright and early this morning he demanded the total figures which will finally grace the appropriation bill. It appeared that they had not been computed. but Frank Pinkley afterward offered an estimate" Nobody knows yet just
