London, July 26.-Russia's shaken
armies in Galicia are still in a retreat
which bids fair not to end until they
reach an approximate line occupied by
them last year before General Brusiloif
began his big offensive.
Despite this extensive ~retrogade

tone of both official and unofficial dis

not pessimistic.
There is apparent confidence that
the DISCRIMINATION in the ranks, in

largely promoted by German intrigue,
will be adequately dealt with and a
firm front again be presented TO the
enemy.
For one thing the Germans by their
own admission have not the men to
spare to prosecute a sustained often

yet asked and bringing Great Britain's
expenditure to the colossal total Of
$26, AGO, 000, 900, Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer, gave
startling figures of the amazing growth

ceeded 5 1000, zoe, 900. The daily war
expenditures still approach $4,000

Expressing his disappointment at
the necessity Of such large advances

United States May Summon
Half Million More Men.
ARE PREPARING ESTIMATES
of Those Just Drawn for Service,
the National Guard and Regulars.
Navy Department Is Planning to
Ask Congress for More Funds.

Washington. July 26.-lucreased in.
terest in the final steps for drafting
the first army OF Americans for serv
ice in the trenches OF Europe followed
the announcement OF the possibility Of
increasing the CONSUMPTION list to L.,
coo, 600 men.
The first million mcn are to be made
up of the first draft army of 500, goo,
the national guard and the regulars. II
is improbable that the first draft will
be increased, but the government is
arranging its finances for other drafts
without the necessity Of going to con.
gress again for money.
Estimates for revenue in the war
tax bill provide only for the 500, 000
men for eight months beginning July
/. The new estimates are designed
to provide for the first army of a half
million for an entire year and, in add.
ton, for twelve months expenditures
caused by the second call of 100000
men, because il would be necessary
10 buy thelr equipment before or soon
after they are drafted.
Navy Will Require More Funds.
In addition to the war departments
additional estimates the navy depart
ment is preparing estimates calling for
800, Gee, 000 additional. The shipping
also is expected to require several mil.
lions more.
1t IS generally understood the prcsi
dent plans TO call out 100000 more
men as soon as those now drafted
are on their way to France.
Estimates have placed the training
necessary before the first army is
ready at eight months.
1t is assumed the second army thus
would be called to the colors about
April, unless events before that time
shall hasten that step.
Besides the additional sums needed
for the war program Secretary Me
Adoo told the senate finance commit.
tee that the SO, 1000, 100000 authorized
for loan to the allies probably will
last only until October and that about
81, 900, 000, 000 for their further assist
ance will be needed.

somewhat depleted this afternoon
still offered much of interest to the
late visitors and the midway con-
tanned q sufficient number of fakirs
and bankers to satisfy all who came
for excitement. 1t was the athletic
contests, however, which proved to
be the big attraction Of the day and
hundreds thronged the trotting course
near the grandstand, where the vari-

Considering the large number of
people who visited the fair and the
large number of itinerant fakirs
gamesters and other fair followers
who have been present, the authori-
ties have maintained excellent order
all the week and it was not until last
night that the first really serious case
presented itself. That came when the
state police raided an immoral exhi-
bition in one Of the tents along the
midway. There have been number
of concessionists put off the grounds
for running gambling devices in fla

have been fined, but as a whole this
