UNCLE SANS FINANCIAL NEEDS
Congress Called Upon to Supply an
Enormous Amoutn

Washington.-This week is winding
up the life of the 63d congress, both
houses prepared to sit almost contin-
uously until noon, Thursday. March A.
The senate and house will be busy
considering conference reports on the
great supply bills, which, when all have
been enacted, will aggregate approx
imately $1,000,0 100000, to defray the
expenses of the government for the
next fiscal year.
The beginning of the week saw the
senate yet to dispose of the 81, 200, 900
Indian bill and the rivers and harbors
bill. That it will be impossible to
pass the senate river and harbor APP
preparation measure, carrying $3S,000,-
600, has been conceded for several
days. 1t is probable that joint reso-
luton appropriating a lump sum of
$30,000,000 will be substituted to take
care of existing projects.
Little difficulty is looked for with
any of the other supply bills. although
senate increases for submarines in the
naval building program may require
some concessions and the fate of the
agricultural bill is somewhat in doubt,
owing to the McCumber rural credits
rider, which was attacked unexpected.

ASK PEACE CONFERENCE.
Emergency Federation Formed at Chi
Enormous Amount

Resolutions asking Presi-
dent Wilson to call conference of
neutral nations to attempt to end the
European war were adopted by the
Emergency Peace Federation at a
meeting here Sunday, and plans were
made for the organization of perma-
nent body to be known as the Nation
al Peace organization. A resolution
protesting against any increase in ar
mament in the United States also was
adopted.
The new organization committed it.

1. Favoring concert of nations,
instead of alliances, providing for a
balance of power
2. Abolition of armament and pro-

General Trade Conditions

Dun's review says: Some further
progress is noted in the direction of
increased trade, although conditions
are very irregular and do not apply
with equal accuracy to all sections
and all sections of business. The
west, owing to the great demand and
high prices for wheat, is more pros
porous than other parts of the coun-
try. Conditions in the south have
been improved by the larger exports
of cotton.
While the business situation is still
controlled by conservatism, prompted
by unprecedented world conditions, it
is steadily gaining in strength and ac-
tivity, and the rate of progress, while
it seems slow from week to week, is
remarkable, indeed, when measured
by months.
Failures in the United States for
the week numbered 664, compared
with $50 the corresponding week last
year. In Canada failures numbered
SO, against SO last year.
Bank clearing for the week amount.
ed to $2,5S4 ,559,419, decrease Of 14.4
per cent as compared with the same
week last year.

London.-For ~ miles up the OAR

Serious rioting in Constantinople
was suppressed Monday after many ar
rests had been made.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween France, Great Britain and Rus
STA regarding the future status of the
Dardanelles, which will give Russia
free passage of the straits.
The operations in the Dardanelles
are again delayed by unfavorable
weather. A strong northeasterly gale
is blowing, with rain and mist, which
would render long range fire and aero
plane observation difficult"
The operations of the allied fleet in
the Dardanelles, as perhaps presaging
quick developments in the Balkan sit
uation, dominates the military situa-
ton on sea and land The more opti-
mistic minds expect Constantinople to
fall, but there is a noticeable DISPOSE
ton to realize that the shipe face no
easy task, notwithstanding the 20-mile
range of the guns of the superdread-
naughts Queen Elizabeth.
Whether any progress has been
made since the outer forts were de-
molished has not been made known
officially.
