London. July .24.-Andrew Bonar

announced in the House Of Commons
this Afternoon that for III days the av-
erage British expenditures was e6, 49,

The chancellor said the total adj
vance made by Great Britain to her
allies and the dominions was c1,025,-
COZ 900.
Net Increase Shown
Mr. Bonar Law said the net in
creased expenditure was e33 100000
not including advances to Great Brit
ain 5 allies which represented an in
crease of 6 $780, goo daily
1t was obvious, he said, that the
budget estimate must be exceeded. He
declared ne would not be surprised if

=
18th Credit Vote
Mr. Bonar Law introduced the vote
CT credit of $3.50 zoo. 900. the 18th vote
since August. 1914, and the largest
since the outbreak Of the war This
opened general debate IN the war
The discussion is expected to last two
days.
In making his financial statement,
Mr.. Bonar Law said the daily expen
iiture out of the last vote of credit
had exceeded his estimate by c1,o90,
900 day. He mentioned increases IN
der the heads of the army, the navy
and munitions, of e506569 as one item
that raised tho daily total.
The chancellor said that he was T.
some extent disappointed that. despite
the aid from America, the British adj
vanccs to allies had increased.
Allies Are One
I'VE hold. however" he continued,
that the allies are one. and that mon
ev spent on our allies is spent on our
selves. The burden that We assume is
OF great dimensions and one which we
can Cld1Hl as tNiueiIct VI uiiosiHolIiic'S
and that we are not fighting for our
selves alone.
II am satisfied that President Wilson
and the great nation he represents will
deal with this question in the same spirit
of generosity. realizing that the cause of
the Allies is one, and that we can rely
upon receiving from the United States the
resources necessary TO pay for the sup
plies Of all kinds required by the Allies"
Total Advances over Billion
The total advances to Allies and do
minions Of Great Britain were f,025.0C0-
900, Mr.. Bonar Law stated, while the to-
tai advance to the dominions was fli6.000.-
900. Part Of the increased army expendi-
ture. he explained, was due to the fact
that :-< Britain had made greater pay
ments to India for service rendered in
connection with the war. That meant
that larger force had been got from
India than was expected when the esti-
mate was framed. There was also an in
creased expenditure for airshps Anoth.
er increase in army expenditures was due
to the fact that the casualties at the front
had been lower than last year,
The ne. daily increase in war expend-
itures aside from loans TO Allies and al
lowing for expenditure which would sub
sequently be repaid, continued the chan
cellor. was 100000. 1t was evident, he

FARMERS MAKING MONEY
BUT DON'T LIKE DRAFT

While the farmers of the Middle
West am making lots of money. due
to the high prices of grain and E.eat,
they do not like the idea OF oelec-

foreman of the ad alley in the Star
Bulletin who returned this morning
with Mrs Stearns from two months
trip to the Middle Western states.
1T Is the principle they object to
and not opposition to the war with
Germany. They all feel that now we
nave gotten into the gigantic strug-

victory, bait they do not like he idea
of having their sons forced INTO the

Third No-Hit Game Is
Record For Season to Date

Chicago, May 4. When Fred
Toney completed the tenth inning
without allowing Chicago to get a
hit off him Wednesday in Chicago,
the big Cincinnati pitcher turned in
the third no-hit game which has been
achieved by major league hurlers
this season. The other two fingers
to earn this much-coveted honor
among pitchers were Eddie Cicotte,
of the Chicago White Sox, and
George Mogridge. of the New York
Yankees, both American League
men. Cicotte kept the st. Louis
Browns from making a hit off him
in st. Louis early in April and last
Weed Mogridge pitched hitless ball
against the Red SoX in Boston. The
peculiar feaures of these curving
feats were that all three games were
pitched on alien territory
