Credit for War
Reports Britain's Daily Ex-

$33,97O,O00

LONDON. Dec. I'm moving vote
Of credit Of s2,75O, 100000 in the House
Of Commons to-day Andrew Bonar Law,
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, said the
average daily expenditure for sixty
three days preceding December l was
s33,97O.0OO, an excess expenditure over
the budget estimate Of t6.s15,000 daily.
The total crcess over the budget rs
innate was sl,545.O00.OO0. But from
that was to be deduced the expenditure
which had been recovered or was re-
coverablc. and he estimated 10 AZ ST.
f25,O00.0O0. Therefore. the excess over
the estimate Of the daily expenditure
was $1,750,00b.
One Of the causes Of the increased
army expenditure, said the Chancellor,
vas the increase in the aviation pro-
gramme Another cause was the large
number Of troops employed in Meso-
potamia, and the largest amount was
due 10 advances TO the armies IN France
and Palestine. The estimate Of the
advances 70 the Dominions had not
been exceeded.
ate what has happened in Russia, over
a long period, the Chancellor contin-
ued, no state ever repudisted its debts.
It was almost certain that there would
be a stable government in Russia. and
he could no; believe that the efforts
which the Russian people had made TO
establish freedom and free govern
ment would end in anything but the
establishment Of recognized, respon-
sible government in that country.
viii Recover Money
n there was a stable government.
Russia knew that the deve opment and
prosperity OF the country would be i'm
possible without aid and financial as
sistance from other countries, and this
aid and assistance would be impossible
unless the previous debts Of the coun-
try were accepted by the government.
Therefore, he believed tina the money
would be recovered sooner or later.

LEADER OF FIGHTING MARINES

'Forced to leave the most beautiful city in America to take up his quarters in a small town in Virginia! !" Such is the manner in which his brother off cers in the Marine barracks at Wash ington characterized Brig. Gen. John A. Lejeune's recent order from head quarters to proceed at once to Quan- tico, Va., to take command of the largest force of marines ever assem- bled for duty.
 No more suitable soldier-sailor could have been selected for the men who stand back of the slogan, 'The first to fght!'' As will be remembered, the United States marines played import ant roles in most of the difficulties this country has had to settle with arms. General Lejeune saw active service at the time of the Boxer rebellion in China, while the short war we had with Spain found him in the midst of the fray.

BACK FROM NAVAL CONFERENCE

Admiral Mayo, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, and his staff have returned from England, where they participated in a naval conference with the allies.
 From now on a vigorous plan of campaign in European waters by the joint naval forces of the United States and Great Britain is confidently ex- pected. In fact, it is not overempha- sizing the importance of the Mayo mission to say that Americas naval policy for the entire war may be de- termined by the advice and suggestions given in the conference at London.
 Americas desire to put her entire navy into action, if necessary, to hunt the submarines to their bases and to force the German fleet into the open was placed before the British admiral ty in unmistakable fashion. But the British experience in naval warfare is of such wide range that the United States would necessarily be guided in
