Washington, July 26.-(SpeciaD.-
Senator Frederick Hale scored an i'm

appropriation of 100000 to dredge
Portland harbor channel to a depth of

The Portland harbor appropriation
was incorporated al a part of this bill
in a supplemental report of the COM

Hale and Congressman Goodali Of the

Some of such men, it is suggested, have

AS a class such young men could hardly

Big War Estimates

Estimates totalling another $1,000 .00o,-
eco or more are expected tomorrow
VIXEN the other departments report
their needs and in addition Secretary
McAdoo has indicated that before the
year is out Congress will be asked for
a $1,000, 100000 appropriation to increase
fund available for loans abroad.
An Immediate Budget
AS soon as the departmental reports
are in, the appropriations committees
OF Congress will go to work on an i'm
mediate budget which probably win
total in the neighborhood of $1,000, ,oo0,-
OOO Meantime the Senate finance COM
mittee which has the war tax bill in
charge will meet tomorrow to consid-
er 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
revised bill ready early next week.
Allies Needs Not Immediate
Congressional leaders do not expect
to have to provide Immediately for the
additional credits to the allies as
treasury officials have indicated that
no appropriation for that purpose Will
be requested until the next session.
The gross estimates submitted by the
war department today totalled $751;
s1s'S47, but that covered all existing
and expected deficiencies in the depart
ment funds. including upwards Of
sC4o, 100000 already appropriated for the
aviation program. This latter item will
not be included in the budget but Con-
gress will have to provide revenues to
meet it since it was on the ledger

and forceful speech in answer to SEN
