GREATEST BUDGET
 IN HISTORY PASSES
 THE UPPER HOUSE
Measure Calling for Ex- penditure of Over Three and Quarter Billions
 Goes to Conference

Washington. May 19.-The administra- tion's initial war budget, increased to . total of ss,s42. sO0,ooo by the addition of S5o,co0,o0o for the merchant fleet con- struction programme, passed the Senate today without a roll call It was sent immediately to conference and is ex- pected to be ready within a week for President Wilson's signature, making mill lions immediately available for the ur- gent needs of the war.
 As 1t passed the House, the measure carried approximately s2,s0o.oo0,oOo and did not include the ship programme appro- priation. This provision was put in by the Senate at the request of the adminis- tration. and is expected to receive the approval of the House conferees without much delay. The only other important Senate amendment is stipulation that provisions of the war draft army bill shall remain in force oniJ- until four months after the war.
 Most of the money appropriated will go to pay expenses of the war army and of the increased navy and marine corps already authorized.
