WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-It will re-
quire $13,725, 594.64 to run the United !
States government during the legis-
lative year ending June 80, 1919. Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo today
so informed congress.
The figures were less than those
which were demanded from the final
session of the Gath congress and the
special session of the 65th (war) con-
gress. The total of the cash pro-
vided by the latter two, figures of
which accompanied today's estimates,
show that a total of $1S,396 ,267.59 was
provided at those two sessions. This
sum included seven billion dollars ap-
propriated for the purchase of obi
cations of foreign governments.
This figure is missing from the es-
Inmates submitted today. 1t is likely,
however, that before the congress gets
through it will appropriate at least
six billion dollars for this same pur-
pose, or a total of $500, 00O, 900 month
ly.
Congressional leaders very signifi-
cantly said today that although they
plan to exercise the utmost economy
they have little hope that it will be
1919 below those of the fiscal year of
1918. which ends on June 30 next. It
is expected that the cost of the war
will continue to increase and that the
estimate for the military establish
ment will have to be materially in
creased while the demands of the al
| lies are expected to grow as the war
| further progresses.
The total of the estimates for 1919

sinking fund requirement of $153,S14,
600 and the postal service expenses
payable from the postal revenues
amounting to 1891, S1S,345 which makes
