The attack was made on the new

Artillery preparations for the attack
were as violent and extensive as ever

fighting in the air also has been on an
unprecedented scale.
Guns Heard in London.
The guns which have been at work
along the whole British front, with
only a few short lulls, thus keeping
the Germans ignorant of the exact
spot or the moment of the coming at

which time the roar, which on some

TOLD BY ADMINISTRATION THAT
COST OF STRUGGLE FOR YEAR
WILL BE $10,735,8 07 900 Ex-
elusive OF LOANS.
HOW SUM WILL BE RAISED
IS NOT YET Determined
Sentiment in Favor of Offsetting Bulk
Of Expenditures by Bond Issues.
Two Billion to Be Raised
by Taxation, Leaders
Predict.

Washington, July 39-Estimating
the cost of the wal for tne coming
year at s1O,735 ,807,O 900, exclusive of
loans to the Allies, the administra-
ton has informed Congress that new
revenues totaling $1,000, 100000 must
be raised from taxation or issuance
of securities.
If advancement of credit to the Al
lies is continued at the present rate,
will pass $4,000, 0O0, 900 and the
amount of additional revenue required
will increase accordingly.
Bond Issues Favored.
How Congress will meet the enor-
nous new revenue requirements re-
mains to be determined, but there is
a distinct sentiment in favor of offset
ting most of the expenditures by bond
issues.
Many leaders on both sides of the
capitol predicted that not more than
$4,000, OO0, 900 of the $1,000, 900, 900 ask
ed would be raised by taxation, and
that the remainder might be met par
TALLY by bond sales and particularly
by issuance Of treasury certificates of
Indebtedness.
Equipment Requires Much.
Equipment and stores for the ma
tional army, particularly artillery, will
require the lions share of appropria-
tons under the administrations esti-
mates. OF the years total of $10,-
$3.50 900, the War department alone
expects to spend s7,S64,24 a 900, or s5,-
319,000,000 more than has been ap-
propriated thus far for it's expenses
during the year..
The Navy expects to spend $780,
000, 900, Of which $2SS, 900, 900 remains
to be appointed.
The shipping board, whose ship
building projects place it third on the
list, expects to spend $799, O0O, 900 of
which $3.50, 900, 900 remains to be ap-
propriated.
These figures cover the cost of the
war from July l last to June 80 next.
They do not include the money spent
prior to the. first Of this month.
Cover War to June Next.
Estimated receipts for the year were
placed by Secretary McAdoo, in trans.
hitting the estimate to the House
ways and means and Senate finance
committees, at 1888, 5000, 900. The es-
innate of receipts did not include rev.
enues to be raised under the pending
war tax bill, estimated by administra-
ton leaders in Congress at 81, $40, &c.
600. Revision Of the bill will begin
at once to embody whatever addition
al taxation it may be deemed best to
impose as a result of the new esti-
mates.
Tremendous as are the estimated
expenses of the government for the
year the appropriations actually sought
by the various departments are plac-
ed above these totals in order to r O
vide a margin of safety. Thus, the War
department, expecting to spend $7,S64,-
100000, asks for appropriation of S.
673,36S,OOO, and the Navy department,
estimating it's expenditures at 81, 2OO,-
600, 1000, asks for $1,324,17S,OOO
