Estimates Of $5,27S,636,OOO
Are Sent to Congress by
War Department.
SEVEN BILLIONS AT ONCE
Other Departments are Ex-
pected to Ask for Appro-
priations Of $1,000, 100000.

Washington, July 27.-The new
war budget to carry the government
through to next July and to cover adj
ditional credits t. the allies promises
now to far exceed 5000, 900, 900 and
may mount to $40, 900, 100000.
War department estimates sent to
congress call for new appropriations
of IS, 278, 636, 900 for that branch of
the military establishment alone.
Estimates totaling another $1,000
900, 900 or more are expected when
the other departments report their
needs.
In addition Sec. McAdoo has indi-
Gated that before the year is out con-
gress will be asked for a $1,000, 000,-
900 appropriation to increase the fund
available for loans abroad.
AS soon as the departmental reports
are in, the appropriation committees
Of congress will go to work on an inn
mediate budget which probably will
be in the neighborhood of$7, 600, OOO,-
600. Meanwhile the senate finance
committee, which has the war tax bill
in charge, will meet to consider what
part of the new expenditures is to be
provided by taxation and on what
commodities the new levies are to fall.
The committee hopes to have revis-
ed bill ready next week.
Congressional leaders do not ex-
pect to have to provide Immediately
for the credits for the allies as treasu-
ry officials have indicated that ~ an.
preparation for that purpose would be
requested until the next session.
The gross estimates submitted by
the war department totaled $5,917,-
1878, BAT but that covered all existing
and expected deficiencies in the de-
partment funds, including upwards of
$64O, 900, 900 already appropriated for
the available program. This latter
item will not be included in the bud
get but congress will have to provide
revenue to meet 1t since it was not on
the ledger when the war tax bill was
framed.

Out Special Notices to
Any Men.
PUBLISHED NOTICES ALL

Much has been asked concerning
how the men drafted win be notified
to appear for examination. In an in.
terview, Mr.. o. H. Anderson, mem.
Der of thelocal exemption board gave
out the following facts:
Penalty envelopes have been asked
for, but have never been furnished
by the Government, so that the local
board can notify parties called. No
blank affidavits for dependent wives
and children have ever been furnish
ed the board, although the board has
requested that same be forwarded at
once.
The law requires that all called
must report for physical examination
at least five days after they receive
notice that they are drawn. II also
specifies that posted and newspaper
notice of same will have the same
effect as personal letters.
In the present condition of affairs,
the board is unable to give personal
notice to those drafted and all drafted
for the first army should keep in
strict line with all newspaper notices
and be sure to report five days after
said notice is published.
The Government has almost mill
ion men to handle and get ready and
all should keep their eyes open and
do all they can to minimize all unnec-
essary work and trouble.
The board hopes that all necessary
envelopes and affidavits may soon be
on hand, and when they do come
personal notice will be given; but if
the Government does not furnish
them the newspaper notice will be all
that the drafted men will have. The
Government accepts 20 excuses, so
keep up with the news.

RUSSIAN WOMAN
TROOPS INACTION
Command Of Deaf" Suf-
fers Some Losses---Behave
Well Under Fire.

Petrograd, July 26.-The Russian
Women's Battalion, raised by the
twice wounded girl officer Vera
Butcherkareff, was in action on the
front at Krevo Wednesday for the
first time. They are reported to have
been successful although the battalion
suffered some losses, the extent of
which is not yet known. The Novoe
Vremrya correspondent at the front
reports that the women behaved in an
exemplary way, gaining the respect of
the men soldiers.
The Command of Death" is the
official title of the battalion raised by
Madamoiselle Butcherkareff. Itrecent-
ly left for the front after a review by
M. Kerensky. Mostof the recruits are
from the higher educational academ-
les or secondary schools, with few
peasants, factory girls and servants.
Some married women were accepted,
but none who had children. Most Of
them are between Island 25 years old,
of good physique. They wear their
hair short or have their heads entire
ly shaved. The girls carry the caval-
ry carbine which is FIVE pounds light
er than the regular army rifle. They
were drilled under the instruction of
A male Sergeant of the Kolynsky reg
iment.

GALICIAN FLIGHT STILL ON

The Russian governments policy of
blood and iron" is to be carried out
along lines which bode i'll for the Sc
ditious troops along the eastern front
and those persons within the country
who are trying to nullify the good
work that has followed in the wake
OF the revolution.
Capital punishment, abolished with
the advent of the new government,
again has been put into force on the
demand Of the military commanders
at the front, who now will be able to
assemble field court martial and put
to death summarily traitors in the
army. General Korniloff, commander
OF the forces in Galicia, whose disaf-
lection has wrought havoc in the Rus
sian morale, was the most insistent
OF the military chiefs in calling for a
free hand to check the refractory
troops, declaring that the death PEN
talty was the only means of saving
the army.
Prior to the acquiescence of the
government, Gen. Korniloff is report
ed to have taken the drastic step of
having division Of fleeing towards
of the Eleventh army shot to pieces
by their faithful former brothers in
arms.
Meanwhile, pending the tightening
OF the reins Of repression, the Russian
troops everywhere in Galicia from the
region around Tarnapol southwark to
the southwestern Bukowina border
continuing to give way with relatively
little fighting before the Germans and
Austro-Hungarians.
Again the Germans have made a
vicious thrust at the French line in
the Aisne region of France and again
they have paid dearly in men killed
or wounded for slight gain. The
attack was delivered over front of
two miles from Hurtebise to LaBo-
velle. but only to the south of Allies
was the crown princes army able to
penetrate French first line trenches.
In the Champagne the Germans
have captured several French trench
es.
Over forty-mile front in Flanders
to the River Rise, the terrific artillery
duel between the British and Ger
mans continues, but as yet no attempt
has been made by either side to throw
their infantry into the fighting.
German steamers attempting to ply
in the North sea are meeting disaster
from patrolling British torpedo boat
destroyers. Two additional vessels
have been sunk by destroyers and
two others captured and taken into an
English port.
