BASE OF THE AMERICAN FLO TILLA IN BRITlH WATERS, July 21. -(By the A. P.)-The captain of a lin- CT recently torpedoed, from which six " passengers ana ninety members Of .na crew were rescued by an American destroyer, today asked The Associated Press to convey to the American peo- jIe g letter of thanks and heartfelt ap- prcciation on behalf of himself, the )assengcis and the crew for the gall ant rescue by the Americans.
 But for the quick arrival of the Amel ican destroyer" said the captain, T would now be prisoner on board | German submarine. The Germans were taking me prisoner when the sud- len appearance of the American de- stroyer caused them to flee The captains letter follows:
 ITO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC: 1 wish to express through the Associ- ated Press, on behalf of myself, the passengers and crew, our heartfelt thanks and deepest gratitude for the gallant rescue of all of us by Ameri- cans who are fighting for humanity and civilization.
 But for the prompt appearance of the Americans 1 now would be a pris-

 'We all feel that we owe to the crew of the American destroyer an everlast- ing debt of gratitude for our safety and we wish to thank the great Amer ican nation for the action which made it possible. namely. the sending of theii gallant men into this great struggle to make the world a fit place for a decent man to live in"
 The commander and men of the American destroyer, who, after the res cue had refused a substantial purse from the grateful passengers, with tht statement that they were merely doing their duty, today also received a letter of thanks from the captain. Upon their arrival here the passen- gers and crew still clinging to theil life belts, assembled on the pier ant gave repeated cheers for the Ameri- cans. The fact that the American: were able to pick up all the person, | from the ship without mishap estab- 1 fishes a record for the largest number rescued from any one ship by an Amer l ican destroyer since the arrival here O | the flOtilla.

YEAR $ COST IF RALONE WILL
 BE TEN BILLION
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Estimat- ing the cost of the war for the coming year at $10.735, ,S07 900, exclusive of loans to the allies, the administration informed congress today that new rev. enues totalling s7,000,000, ,000 must be raised from taxation or issuance of se- curities.
 If advancement of credit to the allies is continued at the present rate. the years total of war expenditures will pass $15,000, ,000,, 900 and the amount of additional revenue required will in- crease accordingly.
 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
 tlhg most or the expenditures by both issues.
 Many leaders on both sides of the capitol predicted here tonight that not
 more than $2,000, 000, 900 of the ST .OOO. .
 900 asked would be raised by taxation and that the remainder might be met partially by bond sales and partially
 by issuance of treasury certificates of indebtedness.
 Equipment and stores for the na- tional army, particularly artillery, will require the lions share of appropri- ations under the estimates. Of the years total of s10,735, ,S07, 900 the war department alone expects to spend ST. S64, 240,000, or $5,319, 900, 900 more than has been appropriated thus far for its expenses during the year. The navy expects to spend $1.2O0.- 100000, of which $2SS, 900, 900 remains to be appropriated The shipping board, whose ship building projects
 place it third on the list, expects to spend $799, 100000, of which $35O,0OO, 900 of which $350, 900 remains to be appropriated
 These figures cover the cost of the war from July l last to June 30 next l (Continued on Page Twol

 WASHINGTON, July 21.-A plan for rationing the northern European neu- tral countries was put before President Wilson today by the exports council.
 A general policy of supplying Ameri- ca first, the allies second and the neu- trals last was announced by the presi- dent. in his proc .amation putting the export control into operation but no specific policy has been adopted. At present no licenses are issued for ship ment of goods to the northern neutrals A large number of Scandinavian ships, loaded with foodstuffs, are awaiting permission to sail.
 The American government has no in- tention of attempting to stop all neutral trade with Germany but will put an end to reshipment of American goods into enemy territory.
 Gradually the export control will take the place of the British system of let ters of assurance.

The Russian retirement in eastern Galicia continues. There has been noticeable slackening in the Austro- German advance north of the Dniester, where the Russians now are offering more spirited resistance, but south of the river to the Carpathians, the Teu- tonic forces are moving forward almost unimpeded
 Around Tarnopol the Austro- Ger mans have met with stubborn resist ance from the Russians, but Prince Leopold's soldiers were able to enlarge recent gains on the eastern bank of the Sereth Between Trembowla and Sko- romocze south of Tarnopol, the Rus sians were forced to yield the crossings of the Sereth and GnZa rivers on front of about eight miles, according to Berlin. Southeast of Tarnopol, Petro- grad reports, the Austro-German at tacks were repulsed.
 The Russians have retired to new positions southeast of Trembowla, but whether they also surrendered the crossings of the Sereth there Petrograd does not say. Between CZortkoV and Dreister, Russian cavalry has repelled Teutonic assaults and driven the att tackers northwestward toward Monas- terZyaska.
  hills of the Carpathians the Russians are retiring eastward. Kolomea about 90 miles northwest of CZernoWittz, capital of Buiowina. has been occupied | by Bavarian and Austro- Hungarian troops. The town is an important rail- way junction. An unofficial report from Austrian sources says the Rus sians are evacuating C2ernowitz. The advance of the Rumanians in the Suchitza valley northwest of Focsani, has resulted in the abandonment of 1 that valley as far as the upper course of the Puma by the Austro- Germans. The Rumanians have moved their line forward seven ond one-half miles, l gaining all their objectives and occu- pying ten villages.
 More than 400 additional prisoners and gurs and war material were cap tured by che Rumanians
 Except in Flanders and in Cham pagne there has been no infantry fight ing on the western front. In Flanders l the British took LaBassee but surren- dered it later before German counter attack. The German crown prince in attacks against the heights southwest of Moronvilliers and east of Auberive, | in Champagne, was repulsed with heavy losses by the French. The decision to continue the war un- | til the aims of the allies have been at tained is announced by the conference | of powers held in Paris. It was de- ] cided also to withdraw the entente troops from ancient Greece, Thessaly | and Epirus. This latter action will not affect the campaign in Macedonia
 and Albania, but will result in turning
 over to the new Greek government the | territory seized to make secure the rear
 of the entente armies fighting in the 1 Balkans while Greece was a non-com 1 batant.

BROADWAY DISCOVERED!
BY ROBERT W. CHAMBERS

Broadway den OF home-seekers!
Robert w, Chambers saws SO. In a
remarkable interview, the famous
novelist defends the character of
the New York show-girl. He says
in part
II find as I study these young
people that not all is desire for gay
ETY., for personal beauty and COM
tort and brightness-there is the
old dominating impulse to mate.
Indeed often it is this very desire
which leads these young people to
Broadway; but what they want is a
home, the safe retreat, the man
that belongs to them, the child that
needs them. "
There is profound truth in Mr..
Chambers gallant defense-the in
stinct in us all TO love and to mate.
MI. Chambers has always thorough
ly exemplifed this in his fiction,
and never so we'll perhaps as in his
latest novel. The Dark STAR /,
