President and Cabinet
Discuss Impending Deficit

Washington. Dec. 18.-President Will
son and his Cabinet already have begun
consideration of ways 10 raise revenues
10 meet the threatened deficit OF June
30, 1918 The President let it BIO known
to-day that he had reached no conclu-
sion, but in general was opposed TO
bond issues except TO meet expenditures
Of temporary nature.
In this connection the possibility OF
the continuance of the patrol OF the
Mexican border into the next fiscal year
is being taken into consideration.
To keep the expenses OF the govern
ment as low as possible the President
will carefully scrutinize all the appro-
priation bills.
In conference with Chairman Spark
man of the House Rivers and Harbors
Committee to-day he urged that the
rivers and harbors bill now being
drawn provide only for urgently neces-
sarv expenditures. Mr.. Sparkman took
to the White House tentative bill, in
GLIDING appropriation OF 500 100000 for
old projects and Sl0,000.000 additional
for new ones. The latter include I'm
provements in New York Harbor and
The deepening Of the channel In the
Fast River and He'll Gate. Another
conference will be held before the bill
is introduced.
Mr.. Sparkmsn said he had conferred
with members of the House Ways and
Means Committee. who are cons dering
ways of meeting the governments bills
for the next fiscal year. Because OF
the threatened deficit. he declared, the
rivers and harbors bill would be held
down to minimum. Many other new
projects have been favorably passed
upon. but will not be included in this
wears bill for economy's sake.

U. S. SPEEDS TEUTON RELIEF
Russia Yields to Plea to Hasten ST.,
100000 Supplies TO Captives

Washington, Dec. IS. - Americas
plea TO Russia, repeated about ten
days ago by Ambassador Francis at
Petrograd, for prompt forwarding Of
large relief supplies held at Tien Tsin,
China, for German and Austrian pris-
oners in Siberia, has brought results.
II was announced to-day at the State
Department that about one-half of the
supplies were started December Is by
ship to Vladivostok to be forwarded
to the prison camps as soon as space
could be found on the railroad.
Several months ago the Austro-Hun-
garian and German Governments each
appropriated 100000 which with con-
tributions raised privately made a
fund of $4,000 900 for the purchase in
China of clothing and food for about
100000 OF their nationals in Siberia.
Large supplies OF felt shoes. under
wear and other supplies were bought
in various parts of China and congre-
gated at Tien Tsin for shipment.
Russia, however, asserted that the
railroads were too crowded with mu-
nitions from Japan TO find space for
the supplies and as result the early
part of the winter, which it was
planned to guard against, went by
without relief. The United States as
Germany's representative in Russia,
requested expedition OF the supplies
some time ago but without result.

Law School Of Columbia University at
Delmonico's. John G. Milburn, a mem
Der Of the Board OF Statutory Consoli-
dation, which prepared the proposed
civil practice act, was tho principal
speaker.
Mr.. Milburn said that the present
code had grown into a huge pile of d..
rections as hard to master rs tho CAL
win scheme of salvation. In codiiica-
ton. he asserted. were more than $500
sections, an unweldy mass.
Lawyers to-day do not occupy the
high place in the estimation OF the
public which they did in my youth"
said Mr.. Milburn. There is wide
spread feeling that the lawyers toler-
ate a system Of procedure which does
not facilitate, does not compel. rapid
administration of law And ] am nfraid
this feeling is justified
The Alumni Association elected these
officers for the ensuing year: Presl'
