at Athens and the Britis.l government
in cooperation with the allies would

solution Of the question which had
arisen.
The situation in Greece, said Lord
Robert, was one of extreme gravity.
Despite formal and repeated assur-
ances Of the Greek king and govern
ment that no disturbance would be
permitted, a most treacherous and un-
provoked attack was made on the
entente allies forces landed by the
French admiral on Friday. Many
casualties had resulted but a full ac-
count had not yet been received.
The British government, Lord Rob-
iert said, considered the responsibility
of the Greek king and government to
be deeply involved in this matter and
Great Britain was considering in con-
junction with its allies immediate
steps to secure a radical solution of
the situation which had arisen.
Order Is Restored.
Order has been restored in Athens

semi-oficial statement issued at Ath-

crease of $84,000,000.
ARMY AND NAVY LEAD


Washington, Dec. 4.-Estimates OF
the expense OF all branches of the
government for the fiscal year 1918
for which the session Of congress as.
sembling today must appropriate
funds, total $l,26S,7ls,s34.
This sum is exclusive of $325,355,-
$40 to be appropriated for the postal
service, which is expected to be re-
turned to the treasury by postal rev.
enue, and sinking fund appropria-
ton of $60,748,000 toward the public
debt.
The total appropriations for the
fiscal year 1917 ending next June, ex-
elusive of these two items, were ST.
84,l57,5l7.
The increase of some $84,0O0,0 900
represents the general trend of the
constantly increased cost of govern
ment as well as the increased cost of
living. Increases in compensation and
in numbers of employees are to be
found in the estimates of all branches
OF the government and to meet that
tendency administration officials have
attempted policy of pairing down all
proposals for new projects with the
exceptions of national defense, expen-
ditures to meet the growth of the
country and the many burdens thrust
upon the United States by the war.
Defense Budget Biggest.
The greatest increases arc, OF
course, in the estimates for carrying
out the national policy of defense
Where the War departments appro-
priations for the current year were
1881 ,482,802 it estimates this year for
$2l ,352,4H. The navy appropriation
which was $3l5,6l3,78l for the cur.
rent year, would, according to esti-
mate, be $382, ,497, $50.
An estimate of $12,230,356 for the
Indian bureau represents an increase
over current appropriations of 81 ,262,-
7l2. Of that sum $225,000 is asked to
complete construction of a diversion
dam and controlling works for the
Gila river irrigation project at a site
above Florence, Ariz., and for begin
ming construction of canals and struc-
lures to carry the natural flow of the
Gila river to the Indian lands of the
Gila river Indian reservation and to
public and private lands in Pinal
county, Arizona. For beginning con-
struction of an irrigation system for
1903 acres of Indian land on the
Hoopa valley Indian reservation in
California $4,000 is asked
Pension Roll Smaller.
Notwithstanding the $40 monthly
pension for 70-year-old widows OF
soldiers of the civil and Mexican wars
and the war of 1872, passed at the last
session of the congress, the estimates
OF appropriations required for the
pension bureau at $l55, 100000 shows
a decrease of $2,505,000.
For expenditures OF the Panama

estimate of $l9,787,266 is submitted
as compared with $1,000, 200 for the
