WASHINGTON, April S.-President Wilson's policy outlined in his ad dress to congress of paying Ameri cas- war bill, so far as possible, while the war is being waged. leaving a minimum debt to osteritY, was re- flected tonight in a virtual decision by leaders in the house and senate to raise fifty per cert of the first years expenditures by taxation.
 Under this program congress will be called upon to '-aise war revenue of $1,750, ,009,000 through new and in creased taxation during the fiscal year erding June 50, 1918. This is exclusive Cf the 5000, a000 00A bond issue authorization for which will be sought this week The tital demand lpon financial resources of the coun- try curing the first year of war un- der this program. would be $6,l50, 0G0,G00.
 Of the bond issue. S3,000. DOG, 600 it was definitely stated tonight, would be loaned to the entente allies. The entire issue will bear interest of 514 per cent It is proposed to make tho loan to the allies at this interest rate, which is lower by far than the rate on their previous issues.
 The remaining $2.eO0.00O, GOO will be applied, as necessary. oB the cost of the military and naval establish . ments and other war expenditures of the United States.

BRAZIL, AROUSED BY SINKING VA IF STEAMER, ,|s EXPECTED ID ,"

Republican A. P. Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, April S.-Early entrance of several of the South and Central American nations into the against Germany is regarded here practically certain Brazil aroused by the sinking of the steamship Parana is expected to become belligeren this week and it is assumed that her lead will be followed promptly by other countries.
 Reports of divided opinion in Argentina have given officials here little encouragement to look for favorable action by that country.
 Active support of the United States by at least two of the five Central American republics and possibly four would not be surprising. Official reports that Estrada Cabrera, president of Guatemala, contemplating ser- ousy break with Germany have been received So long as MeXcos is undefined, unusual interest is at tached to the position of the Central American govern ments, especially Guatemala, controlling the southern frontier of Mexico In the event of the development of unfrlendlv situation Ill Mexico realized that Guate mala role would be far from unimportant In Guatemala Cabera has built up what is regarded generally, the most efficient army in Central America and with he would be in position to lend valuable assistance the United States. Antpathy between the Guatemalans and the MeXicans there has existed for years.

It is known that earnest efforts have been made by counselors of Ca brera to induce him to enter promptly into the war If he does place his country in the list it is expected that Nicaragua will quickly follow and that the lohg standing differences be- tween those two countries and Salva- dor and Honduras may be swept away in desire to present a united Central America.
 An odd situation would be left in the position of Costa Rica. There a new government has just been installed and has apparently no opportunity of rec ognition by the United States. Federico Tinoco who overthrow the government of Alfredo Gonzalez in January, was elected president on April l. Official notification of his election was received at the state department yesterday. The country is at peace but prior to the election and immediately after the overthrow of Gonzalez the United States government announced that it would not recognize the de facto gov ernment and would not recognize Tin oco if elected.
 Some anxiety has been manifested in the probable position Tinoco would
 take. but in case the executives of the other four Central American govern ments join in the war any obstruction Tinoco might set up would be of little consequence.
 American officials continue to watch closely every move in Mexico but lit ! tie real anxiety remains. 1t is believed
 now that German machinations in that
 country have failed and that the worst that may be expected from that quar-
 ter is a declaration of neutrality investigation by American army of
 ficers showed that the reports of Ger 2 man reservists crossing from the ] United States into Mexico have been
 exaggerated and that the total number
 crossing the Rio Grande since the i breaking of relations with Germany up 1 to ten days ago was not more than ono ! hundred.

 An uninterrupted series of trials for espionage are being conducted in various parts of the coiIntry-but above everything else at the present moment towers the nightmare Of the deportations.
 Even the Austrian representative here had words of apology and even blame for the policy and indefense could only refer to the alleged ill treatment of Germans in Russia
