Washington, June 13.-The three
billion dollar war budget finally got
over the last obstacle in congress to-
day and went to President Wilson
for his signature
1t appropriates the greatest sum
ever voted at one time by any legis-
lative body. It's amount is greater
than the total cost of the civil war.
The budget provides principally
for army and navy expenditures.
Aside from that feature its most i'm
portant single provision is an APP
preparation of $750,000,000 for an
American merchant marine, to be
constructed by the shipping board
under the direction of Major General
Goethals. At the last moment there
was question in the senate over
whether the language which placed
General Goethals in charge of the
work had been sufficiently definite so
he could not be forced out Of office
without consulting congress. It was
explained that although the house
had changed the senate's language
in that regard, 1t was satisfactory to
General Goethals.

Washington. June 13.--Convinced
that creation of food administration
will bring prices In the United States
down fully 80 per cent, organized
labor will get squarely behind the
food control bills pending in congress
and urge their immediate enactment
At a conference tonight with labor
leaders and with representatives in
the labor groups in congress, Her
bert C. Hoover promised that the
food administration when organized
would force prices to O level at WI
the small wage Garner can exist
Labor representatives told Mr..
Hoover that unless costs fall the
Garner of moderate wages must get
an increase in pay or so hungry
Officials of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and heads of the big
unions will send thousands of letters
to local unions throughout the coun-
try directing members to urge pas
sage of the food bills before July l.
Some of the labor leaders express
ed anxiety as to whether the food
bills are drastic enough to accom-
plsh their purpose, but Mr.. Hoover
assured them that the measures pro-
vide power enough to reduce prices.
Figures were quoted at the confer
ence to show abnormal profits taken
by middfemen. The statement was
made that while flour Is selling
around SIS barrel it is being manu-
factured in the west at cost of about
81 and could be sold at So or 50 and
still give a good profit TO dealers.
Mr.. Hoover asked that no new
wage adjustments be sought until
after the food administration has had
an opportunity to try to rearrange
methods SO as to elimi-
nate unnecessary links in the dis
tribution chain.

At today's session Hyman Myers,

bombs when once the planes were

stance, a bomb could not have been
dropped without doing damage. The
course the raiders took can easily be
traced by the damaged buildings

The Associated Press correspon-

was comparatively slight and that a

the roof of the eating house, shatter-

The legs of one man In this group
were shattered below the knees:
another's arm was brown off as he
