ROOSEVELT MAY ADDRESS
RALLIES IN Delaware

It was said today that there is a
possibility that former President
Theodore Roosevelt may visit Della
ware during the campaign TO urge
the election of Charles T.. Hughes
as President and to repudiate the
Progressive third ticket movement.
Republican national leaders are
greatly interested in having Della
ware to remain Republican to the
extent OF giving its electoral vote to
Hughes and re-electing Senator
Henry A. dupont to uphold the Re-
publican administration policies.
and for that reason it is said Colonel
Roosevelt may be induced to visit
Delaware to address meetings in Will
mington and down the State.

Britain S Financial Burden

The back breaking financial burden OF the War which
Great Britain the richest of the entente allies IS bear
ing was never more strongly brought to light than
few days since when A Bonar Law, chancellor Of the e
eheauer appeared the house Of and asked for
an additional wGr credit Of $4,000, 100000.
The chancellor recalled the votes OF credit which had
been issued since the beginning of the and stated
there had been expenditures over and above the votes
of credit These extra expenditures, he said, amounted
TO $4,000 COO bringing the total since the outbreak
of the war to s1e,26ooooo00.
In discussing the present vote Of credit Mr. Law said
il was expected TO suffice only until February "a, at
which time an additional 81 100000 900 would be
The chancellor said the total expenditures for the fiscal
wear would be found to have totaed about Se,750ooO
900 Daily war expenses for England alone, he said,
were owing to the higher cost OF munitions
in the United States This brought to light for the
first time In authoritative form that American manufac
have raised prices Of war munitions on their
European customers the contracts made early IN
the war were entered into.
The figures furnished by the chancellor of the ex-
chequer sufficiently emphasize the enorn1y OF BTltains
war expenditures. How the nation feels compelled 10
maintain the expenditures is shown in address TO the
house made by Reginald McKenna former chancellor Of
the exchequer following Mr. Laws speech, In which the
former chancellor said:
Eve are bound to furnish munitions to the full ex
tent of our capacity and bound likewise TO meet
all the demands of our allies far are able"
Mr. McKenna then made 1t plain that the pound
sterling has lost It's supremacy and that the American
dollar is the ruling power in the financial world
for he said:
