RETREAT OF RUSSIANS
SEEMS TO Be HALTED

London.-Apparently the turn in the
tide of retreat by the Russians in
East Galicia is beginning.
On several sectors the loyal troops
now are facing the Austro-Germars
and Offering resistance as best they
can with their depleted forces.
Although their stands as vet have
been unsuccessful they show the spirit
of loyalty still is alive in many of the
men and that it is not their purpose
to surrender further terrain without a
contest.
One of the main attempts of the
Russians to hold back the enemy has
been on the heights east of the River
Zbrocz, which flows along the border
between Galicia and Russia, but they
have been compelled by overwhelming
numbers to cede ground to the Austro-
Germans who crossed the stream.
There has been a considerable fall
ing off in the intensity of the British
artillery fire on the Flanders front,
due, according to Berlin, to the par
alyzing influence Of our offensive &C.

When tenders went alongside the

with a roaring "No!" given with great
enthusiasm.
Representatives of the general staff
watched the Decentralization. There
was no civic demonstration. Only a
few spectators knew of the landing.
These cheered and the troops cheered
back. The men entrained Quickly and

Situation Changes Greatly Dur
ing Last Twelve Months.
MORE COUNTRIES IN CONFLICT
Entry Of United States and Other Ma,
tons Into Struggle Main Event
of the Past Year.

London. - The third year of the
world war closes with the fortunes
of conflict favoring the entente except
for uncertainty as to the outcome of
the Russian situation.
The central powers sustained mo-
mentous setbacks, both military and
political, during the twelve months.
On the Western front in Europe the
Teutons find themselves on the de.
fensive at the advent of the fourth
year. They fight On lines newly es-
fablished after forced retirement from
terrain which they had won in earlier
days at a tremendous sacrifice.
Meanwhile new enemy powers, not
ably the United States, have been
drawn in by the central empires and
progress toward the achievement of
the ultimate aim of the entente and
1itical disturbance which will remain
memorable in the history of all times.
Chief among these are the fall of
two crowned heads-Nicholas Of Rus
STA and Constantine of Greece. In
Russia %autocracy has given way to
democracy. In Greece a kingdom re-
mains, but not a pro-Teutonic one, en-
tente pressure having won supremacy
in that part of the Balkans.
Portugal and Roumania threw in
their fortunes with the entente short
ly after the third year began. The
United States entered in April, fol-
lowed by Cuba and Liberia. Panama
pledged the United States her aid in
defending the Panama canal. Costa
RIGA put her naval bases at our dis,
posal. China, Bolivia, Guatemala and
Brazil severed diplomatic relations
with Germany. Uruguay expressed
sympathy for the United States. Late
in July Siam entered the wal against
the central powers.
An estimate made two months be.
fore the end of the third year-voiced
by Arthur Henderson Of the British
war council-placed the number of
men killed at 1000, 900 since August,
1914. French general headquarters re-
Gently estimated 1900, 900 Germans
had been killed up to March 1. Mr..
Henderson estimated the total casual.
ties at more than 5000, 900.

War Cost for Year Is Faced
at StO,735,0O7,OO0.
new REVENUE is NECESSARY
Taxation or Issuance Of Securities Is
Contemplated to Secure Seven
Billion Dollars.

Washington, D. G. Estimating
the cost of the war for the coming
year at S1O,735,S07,0 900, exclusive of
loans to the allies, the administration
informed congress new revenues total
ing $1,000, 900, eco must be raised from
taxation o. issuance of securities.
If advancement of credit to the al
lies is continued at the present rate
the years total of war expenditures
will pass 5000, 900, 900 and the
amount of additional revenue required
will increase accordingly.
How congress will meet the enor-
new revenue requirements re-
mains to be determined, but there is
a distinct sentiment in favor Of Off
setting most of the expenditures by
bond issues.
Many leaders on both sides Of the
Capitol predicted that not more than
$4,000, 000, 600 Of the $1,000, 900, 900 ask
ed will be raised by taxation and that
the remainder might be met partly by
bond sales and partly by issuance of
treasury certificates of Indebtedness.
Army Supplies Are Expensive.
Equipment and stores for the ma
tional army, particularly artillery, will
require the lions share of ]appropria-
tons under the administration esti-
mates.
OF the years total of s10,735,6 O7 900
the val department alone expects to
spend 1861. 2l0 1000, or S5,3t9, G0G, 900
more than has been appropriated thus
far for its expenses during the year.
The navy expects to spend $780,
100000, OF which S2SS, OOO, 900 remains
to be appropriated. The shipping
board, whose shipbuilding projects
place it third on the list, expects to
spend $4,000, 900, of which $3.50 ,OOO,-
600 remains to be appropriated.
These figures cover the cost of the
war from July 1 last to June 80 next.
Estimated receipts for the year
we're placed by Secretary McAdoo, in
transmitting the estimates to the
house ways and means and senate
finance committees, at 1888, SOC, 900.
This estimate of receipts did not in
clude revenues to be raised under the
pending war tax bill, estimated by
administration leaders in congress at
81, 670, $40, 600.
