Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, July 24.-An eXtraor- dinary growth in the profits of the International Mercantile Marine com pany since the beginning of the war as revealed today in the companys annual report for 1916 is attributed by Harold A. Sanderson. chairman of the board of directors, "to the shortage of tonnage and the abnormal increase in freight rates" As result the earnings of the company and the subsidiaries reached a point far exceeding those of any previous period in its history.
 Gross earnings of the company and its subsidiaries for 1916, according to the report, amounted to s60,602, ,010 after providing for British excess profits duty. This compares with s51056,679 in 1915 and s43,378,526 in 1914.
 Profits for 1916. before providirg for depreciation on steamships aggregated $25.946,650. against s17,341,O ,O27 in 1915 and S3.307,029 in 1914
 At the end of 1913 the company's s surplus was only $1,26S,997 and at the close of 1916 the balance sheet showed a surplus of $24.6S6,172
 Chairman Sanderson pointed out that the British authorities increased the excess profits duty on January 1, 1917, from so to 80 per cent,

NEW EXPENDITURES WHOLLY OVERTURN
 VAR REVENUE PLAN
TReou5Iican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON. July 24-Plans worked out in congress for raising war revenue were overturned today additional estimates for war expen- ditures aggregating more than $5,O0O.- o00,C00 principally in anticipation of assembling a second army of 5OO.OOo men under the seective draft.
 Secretary McAdoo. at special meeting of the senate finance com mittee revealed that the war depart
 ment alone is preparing estimates to cover additional expenditures Of nearly S5.0O0, GOO, 000 and asked the committee to hold up the $1,670,000,-
 GOO war tax bill unti1 the detailed es- inmates or all departments are sub mitted. The committee, agreed to the request and pigenholed report on the measure which it had planned to
 submit during the day.
 The new estimates, including s50O,-
 C00000 additional for the shipping
 board and $100000000 for the navy department, are to be submitted to
 the committee late this week. Then
 there will begin another revision of
 the war probably resulting in an in
 crease of the bills gross levy by from
 $350, 900, coo to $1,500,0 900. further
 credits may also be authorized in the form Of bonds CT indebtedness eel tificates.
 Besides the additional sums needed for the American war program. Sec
 retary McAdoo told the senate com mirtee that 5000, 100000 authorized for loan to the allies probably would ! last only until October and that about { aan gdn sistance would be needed. Provision
 1o. this, however, is not planned in connection with the pending revenue legislation. It probably will be con- sidered at the next session.
 The secretary made no recommend ation as to what part of the total
 should be raised by taxes and what part by bond issues or other credits. !! It was reported however that the treasury department would favor raising 01,000 000.000 more than had been planned in taxes, making the
 war tax bill total s2,67O, 100000. | As to the tax sources to be tapped l to meet the new estimates, the first disposition of the committee was to
 turn to new taxes on war excess profits and incomes.
 i A meeting will be held immediately after the new estimates are su0- mitted. A resolution was introduced today calling for the submission of new estimates by all departments, SC | that the whole war expenditure pro- | gram might be considered in connec ton with the pending war tax legis- lation. The $5,000, 100000 army in- i ereases, Secretary McAdoo informed
 the committee, are largely to pro-
 vide for the second draft army oi l 900 men to be called while the ! first 500,000 are under training. The l $5,ee0 000, 900 would provide for ex- nenditures until July l. 1918.

LEADV|LLE READY ID ACCEPT OFFICES
 IF TWO MED|ATORS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LEADVILLE. Colo, July 24.-Oper- ators in the Leadville district, after al, all day session here, practically reached an agreement to accept the good of fees of Governor Gunter's two ap- pointees-Platt Rogers and Harvey Riddle-as interVenors in the present strike situation and to abide by the decision reached by these two inves- tigators as final.
 The only restriction said to have been made by the operators in the meeting was that there would be no formal recognition of the International Union of Mine. Mill and Shelter Workers of America, or of Charles Mover as the representative of the men in this camp.
 Officers of the Cloud City union af- filiated with the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, said tonight they could not make any an nouncement as to the attitude of their union regarding the acceptance of the mediators appointed by Governor Gun ter until it had been formally presented to the union and had been considered by the members in meeting. They said, however, that the International union. the state federation of labor and the American Federation of Labor had agreed to leave the settlement of the strike to the local union, offering if their support in every way possible. Regarding the position taken hv the operators that they would not official | lv recognize the international union or Charles Mover as it's president in deal ing with the Leadville miners, Albert Carpenter, president of the local miners union, said
 We have not asked for recogni- ! tion of our union in the demands made upon the operators. We waived that point and that should not be a stum- bling block in the way of an agreement being reached between the operators and miners. Our committee told the federal mediators at Denver that we not only waived the recognition of our own union but of any union. What we want is an increase in pay and that was what we struck for and there were no other conditions except that the in- crease should be retroactive from June 15, when the demand was made
 Following the regular weekly meet ing of the Cloud City miners union last night, President Carpenter issued a statemen today categorically an- swering charges which had been made against the local union and the strikers | here.
 After reviewing the history of the pre- strike period and the efforts to bring about meeting between the 1 operate and miners at Denver the statement denied that the present sit uation in the Leadville district was brought about by imported agitators, and added that the men in charge of the strike had homes and families l here. The statement questioned the logic of the state industrial commits

POLICY OF BLOOD AND IRON
 DOES NOT HOLD RUSSIANS
 FROM FELL NELL RETIREMENT
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Notwithstanding the threat of Pre- mier Kerensky that a policy of blood and iron" is to be applied without re- Straint against the Seditious Russian troops in East Galicia, whose disaf- lection has made null almost all the brilliant gains they had achieved under his personal leadership early in the month, the Russians continue their re- tirement, virtually pell mell before the German and Austro- -Hungarians. From the wooded Carpathians to the region of Tarnopol, the forces of General Korniloff almost everywhere are in disorderly retreat. hardly anywhere making an attempt to hold back the on-c coming enemy.
 Already the losses of the Russians in men killed, wounded or made pris- oner and in guns and stores captured are extremely heavy and these un- doubtedly will become greater unless the hoped-for stiffening in the morale of the Russians is realized soon.
 Stanislau, the important grain and manufacturing center, is being evacu- ated by the Russians, while Podhaytse, Halicz and other towns have been taken by the Teutons. Harnopol is more seriously menaced than ever, if it has not already been retaken. The entire eastern front from the Baltic to the Black sea is the scene of big operations, with the Russians standing firmly in the Rumanian theater.
 1 The Russians near Dvinsk and Wilma continue to show signs of disaffection. Although they had attacked and cap- tured German positions along the Dvinsk-Nilna railway, the Russians could not be induced to press their I 1 T positions. In the repulse of attacks near Krevo, which was recaptured, and south of Smorgon, the Germans cut entire regiments to pieces with i their galling fire of the infantry and machine guns.
 1 General Petain's forces have as- sumed the initiative along the Chemin | des Danes in France, and have taken back the small advantages gained by | the enemy during his weeks of ten acious assaults. The lost ground on the California and Classmates plateaus
 all have been recaptured and the 1 French, in spite of vicious counter at tacks, have even pushed their line for
 ward at several points in the latter region.
 The artillery battle in northern Bel
 gium, which has been in progress for
 some time, has reached an intensity
 never before experienced. While the
 British official communication as yet
 has only barely mentioned the fact
 that big guns are hammering away the
 probability is that General Haig is
 preparing for another of his great
 drives, similar to those made on Arras and Lens fronts, which worked great
 havoc on the Germans and gave the
 British forces bases of important
 strategic value.

MANN BLOCKS PLAN

 FOOD CONTROL BILL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTIN, July 24-The ad- ministration's program of food legisla- ton encountered another delay today when Republican Leader Mann blocked plans to hurry the food control bill to conference.
 The proposal to create a joint com mittee of congress on expenditures of the war, written into the bill in the senate and objected to by President Wilson as signifying a lack of confi- dence in him, started the trouble. The republican leader ra lied many members of his party about him and tonight the situation had taken on the aspect of a partisan fight virtually for the first time since the war session met
 Administration leaders despairing of sending the bill to conference under an agreement, prepared to bring in a spe- cial rule tomorrow under which they expect to force conference and in ad- dition to instruct the conferees to dis agree to all senate amendments.
 Taking the administration managers by surprise, MT Mann served notice when the bill came up today. that he would not give unanimous consent for the bill to go to conference unless separate vote were permitted on the car committee proposal A nasty can vass of those present convinced the administration men that they could not be certain of a majority and adjourn inert was taken. Unanimous consent again will be asked tomorrow before the special rule is invoked, but the re- publican leaders have summoned the entire membership here for vote and partisan division seems certain.

LONDON, July 24.-A great tragedy is being enacted in the life of the free Russian people according to Arthur Henderson, member of the British war council, and representative of labor, who has just returned from an eX- tended visit to Russia. He is convinced that unless the situation is handled with firmness there must be an inevit- able disaster.
 MT. Henderson said, during the course of an interview today, but 1t was nothing less than a misfortune that the continuance of the coalition government had proved impossible. The difficulties the government had to cope with were such as no other government ever eX- perienced. It was impossible to con vey anything like an adequate concep- tion of the extent to which the extrem- ists dominated the life of the capital, demoralzing the army and navy, es- pecially those units in close proximity to Petrograd
 The true extremists, he declared, did not represent more than small mlnor- ity of the population, but such had been the spirit of terror exercised, together with their destructive influence over certain sections of the military forces, that they had succeeded in rendering a stable government difficult, if not al most impossible.
 MT. Henderson considered that the most disastrous experiment of the rev olution was the relaxation of discipline in the army and navy, coupled with the direct association of those services with 1 the political and revolutionary propa- ganda The resumption of the often sive caused the extremists considerable annoyance and although they had the wisdom to remain quiet while vic tories were being gained, it was gener- ally recognized that they were waiting 1, for an opportunity for the move recent , ly made with such disastrous conse-

GREAT TRAGEDY ENACTED IN

If Russia is to rise to the greatness of her possibilities, the forces of dis order must be resolutely dealt with, continued MT. Henderson, the feature, judging from the recent past is largely in the hands of the new Workmens' and Soldiers council elected by the All- Russian congress, which represents a large section of the community whose representatives are likely to become the dominant party in the constituent assembly,"
 The Russian socialists. he said, were strong advocates of an international conference. He discussed the subject with M. Tseretelli, minister of posts and telegraphs, just before leaving Petro- grad. M Tseretelli urged the import ance of such conference and of Great Britain being represented.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-With the master lists of Fridays conscription drawing in the mail for distribution to the local boards, the task of assem- bling the national army of half mil lion had passed out of the hands of the federal government tonight and into those of the civilian authorities who will notify the men drawn and pass on exemptions.
 As soon as the lists are received each board will summon for physical examination double the number of men in the district quota. If more are needed the authorities will keep on calling until the quota is filled.
 The final list shows only a few errors in the unofficial report of the drawing already transmitted through out the country by the Nress. Includ- ing all the adjustments found neces- sary in correcting the official list to make up for numbers that were read upside down or were miSread, and also all errors in transcription in the rush of the drawing and the haste to get the figures to the wires, there are less than two score variations between the list compiled by the Associated Press and the master sheet.
 The surprise of the official record is the fact that the missing number in dicated by the drawing of a blank cap sule as No. 10,004, was located as serial number 5,794.
