WINTER SOCIAL EVENTS
AT WHITE HOUSE LIKELY
Believed More Important Customary
Functions Are to Be
Resumed.

White House officials and employees be-
lieve that the social event at Cornish, n.
H., few days ago, given by the Presi-
dent and his family indicates a resump-
ton of social activities at the White House
and return to the formal social func-
tons this winter that have marked past
| administrations.
1t is not believed the President and his
the White House as have other admin
istrations. but it is expected that the vari-
Gus important functions that are supposed
| to accompany each administration will be
part of the program during the coming
winter. These include the diplomatic,
judicial. congressional and army and navy
official personages.
Diplomatic Dinner a Problem.
| What is bothering some of the White
House experts already Is how it will be
| to give a diplomatic dinner this winter In
| view Of the European war and the break
ing up Of personal friendships which 1t
has caused. In the past the Gereman am
| bassador escorted the wife of the French
a mba ssador to the White House table and
the families of the ambassadors and
diplomats generally were on the most
cordial terms. fraternizing at the White
House and elsewhere in a most enjoyable
manner. That is out of the question now
| 1t IL pointed out that the possibilities
of trouble would be far less at a diplo-
matte reception than at a dinner given
by the President White House attend
ants who know all about the precedents
and rules Of official society would be able
to manipulate affairs 90 that trouble
would be averted at a reception. 1t is
| said.
President Wilson and his family have
never cared much about the social features
i of the Presidential incumbency, and their
plans for the coming winter will be
watched with much interest by society
generally.

May Call for $500, ooo, 900 More.

Speculation today is that the plans
of the administration will call for in
creased expenditures in the fiscal year
1917 for army and navy of 5000. 600, 900
above the appropriations for the fiscal
year 1916, which will end June 80 next
Less than that would be of little bene-
At, it is declared. Excluding rivers and
harbors and the civil branch of the
War Department. the expenditures for
the army during the fiscal year which
closed June 80 last were substantially
$120,000,000. For the current fiscal
year the appropriations are not quite
as much. The naval establishment Of
the government. excluding the civil
si,le cost the United States $141, 959.853

Revenue Situation Serious.
Revenue legislation promises to be a
serious one for Congress at the coming
session if no provision is made for en-
larged national defense. The Treasury
is showing a deficit each day and each
month, and Secretary McAdoo must
make recommendations for legislation
that will bring in larger revenues. The
act of October, 1914. providing for ad-
ditional revenue amounting to some
thing like $50,000,000 to partly meet
the loss of revenues from customs
sources, caused by the European war,
will expire December 81 next. and one
when it meets will be to pass a joint
resolution continuing the taxes i'm
posed in that bill until another revenue
measure takes its place.
