New German Budget
Calls for Five and a
Half Billion Marks

HERLIN, Feb. 23.--(Via London. )--Ger-
many's next extraordinary budget. In
Guiding 20O0.0Ooo00 marks Interest on war
loans. will reach at least $500. 1000, 900
marks, according 20 the estimate OF
PTivy Councillor Behrnauer, writing IN
the Hamburger Nachrichten.
The previous high budget-that OF 1915
lslt-Feached only slightly above $780,
10000 marks.
As the receipts from customs and
other sources will show a sharp reduce
ton, Herr Behrnauer reckons that the
fiscal year, beginning IN April, will re-
auire at least S.0O0.0000 900 marks OF new
revenue for current expenditures OUT
side OF the war. This is without taking
into account new pensions and the in
creased cost OF the old age pension sys-
tenn through the reduction OF the are
limit from 70 TO 6k years, recently voted
by tho Reichstag.
According 20 other newspaper discus
Sions OF the budgit question, the govern
mont Will later propose an immediate in
crease IN postal and telegraph tolls and
postal check charges In addition TO the
new taxes already announced. Increases
are also expected on bills Of lading and
an extension Of this tax TO goods shipped
IN less than carload lots. II appears the
government also intends later 10 follow
the forthcoming 80 por cent talk upon
extra war profits with a similar tax
atieeting war profits earned IN the future.

PRICE OF REQ CAR
WILL NOT ADVANCE
General Manager Scott Explains
How REQ Company is Not Hurt
by Material Price Increases.
WEAKER COMPANIES SUFFER-

Il told you soi" said General Manag
Scott OF the REQ Car company the other
day when he was told OF an increase in
price by another automobile manufac-
turer. and proposed raises by several
others.
AT the time Of the New York show I
said IN an interview that l would not
be surprised II many makers were forced
TO increase the price OF their cars in the
coming months. In fact, said I would
be very much surprised n that did not
happen. And gave then the same rea-
sons that are now given by those max
ers who have had TO bow to the inevit-
able-the increased cost OF materials and
OF manufacture. due to shortage OF high
speed tool steel. machine tools and
necessariea
Most readers doubles took that pre-
diction with a grain OF salt. but events
are now proving its accuracy.
The present shortages and present
high prices OF materials are most Sc
riously affecting those who do not make
but who merely assemble automobiles.
and few others who may be classed as
manufacturers, but who for financial
reasons were unable a year ago to con-
tract satisfactorily for their require
ments year In advance
REQ Not Affected.
Concerns like REQ ano a few others
similarity situated. whose financial sta
bility is undoubted. and who may there
fore be counted upon as those who will
be in business and paying thier bills In
the future as in the past, are not so Sc
rtously affected by either the shortage
OF materials nor the increase IA price.
Producers OF raw materials such as
aluminium, steel etc, as we'll as ma
chine tools. figure II this way: Here's
an order for export with cash on de-
livery In New York; on the other hand.
here's a concern that wants the same
material for automobile manufacture,
but whose ability 10 pay Is doubtful and
whose future Is still more In doubt
Guess we'll accept that European order
Custom Plays Part.
Now then, wen suppose that REQ
wants the raw material. REQ has always
paid. andsBts financial status Is the best
possible guarantee that II not only will
pay for what II wants this year, but that
II will be good customer and a bigger
one for many years TO come-long after
the war IL over. REQ, therefore. gets its
materials. while the other automobile
manufacturer waits while the material
man takes advantage OF the higher price
he can get for the export order
This Is only one phase OF the matter
that has become serious, but which IN
to the present time has affected us only
slightly"

GIANTS AT LAST WAKE UP AND GET ], VICTORY ON ROAD

Pittsburgh, May 10-eThe New York Giants opened their western campaign here yesterday with a whiz. defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates by 13 to 5. For five innings the game was close and. interesting, though the Giants were ,on the short end of the score Then the visitors arose in their wrath and fairly snoth cred the Corsairs.
 When the Giants began the sixth inning the score was to 2 against them, but before the inning was over they had double the number of runs of their opponents. TheA continued their savage work in. the seventh inn ing, pi1ing up four more runs. M In the two innings they went 19 times to bat and faced three pitchers, every one of whom they assaulted most outrageous ly. They made nine hits and ran the bases, like Wildfre.
 Doyle did great sprinting, stealing three bases, and made three hits. Burns also got threes and Robertson Benny Kauff went to bat he struck out, but later, in the seventh inning. he came to the fore with ae two bag ger.
 McKetchnie, after getting first base three times on errors, was hit on the right arm with a pitched ball on the fourth time, up. It hurt him badly and he had to make way for Kellv who covered third base in the last y1c innings Tesreaus Benton and Ma thewson shared the twirling for the Giants.

ATHLETICS WANT GAMES.

The Athletics travelled to Waterbury, Sunday, and gave the St. Mary Alumni of that city a trimming by to 1. The game was close until the seventh inn ing when the Athletics got their heads together and decided that they would end the old game and the result was five runs and the game. CasserIy's playing at short was easily the fea- ture while Trappe pitched fine game, allowing only four hits. The Athletics will travel to Norwalk this Sunday where they will play the Nationals. The Athletics are open for a game May 21, and would like to hear from some of the ast~semi-proteams in the city.

FUCKER WON'T BE RELEASED
 BY BROOKLYN

New York, May 10.-Charley Ebbets yesterday said the placing of~s Nap Fucker on the ineligible list does not mean that Rucker is through, or that he will be released at the end of the season when his icontract runs out.
 Fucker has been one of the most Willing workers the Brooklyn club ever had. He will positively be car ried all this season, and he will be with us next season unless his arm is absolutely worthless. The Brooklyn club owes a sentimental debt to Ruck- CT for his faithfulness, and I have al- ways wanted to see such a great pitcher on a championship team. [ believe that we have such a team this year, and have not the slightest in- tention of deprtving him of his great chance to round out his career.
 ftRucker is now on the disability list because he has a sore arm, but his arm is not gone by a long shot. We expect him to pitch as often and as successfully he did last year..
