Denver.-The long appropriation
bill, for maintenance of the various
state departments, was introduced IN
the House. 1t carries a total appro-
priation of $1,S66,355, which is about
$275,00O more than the same bill car
ried two years ago when introduced.
This increase is .made. up principally
of the sum Of $4,000 granted to the
governor for the mobilization OF the
national guard in the event of war
with Germany and $106,258.33 for the
Industrial Commission. The appropri-
alton for the latter commission two
years ago was carried in separate
bill and so was not included in the
long appropriation bill.
In addition to these two items prac-
tically the only increases are $4,000
to the governor for liquor law en-
forcement instead of $4,000, as
granted two years ago. and $4,000 ad-
ditional appropriation for the Utilities
Commission.

DISPEL RUMORS

President Wilson yesterday after
noon received Vice Admiral NJ. r.

is in Washington TO discuss with Ac-
miral Benson. American chief of op-
erations, the joint patrol of the North
and South American coasts.
Vice Admiral Browning. a typical

command of the Brish squadron which
is cooperating with the American
patrol feet in keeping a solid wall
against the German submarines from
Labrador to Cape Horn.
His sudden visit led TO rumors that
information had been obtained of a
contemplated German submarine raid
on this side of the Atlantic, but this
was denied at Secretary Daniels Of
fee, as was a similar report that Ger
man submarine bases had been dis
covered on this side of the ocean.
The British ratrol is guarding the
Canadian ports, and is especially ac-
tive in cooperating with the United
States waIsnips in the questionable
West Indian waters, which otfer the

SOLDIERS SHORT
OF EQUIP MENT
This and Construction De-
lay flinders Mobiliza-
ton of Army.

Secretary of War Baker yesterday
afternoon said that shortage of equip
ment in certain cantonments and con-
struction delays in others had inter-
.ferod with the schedule for the
mobilization of the national army.
The situation as 1t stands is this:
One cantonment, Camp Lewis. at
American Lake. Washington, mobil-
lied even the first three incrcments
Of its quota. At several camps not
more than 20 per cent of the second
increment has been modified.
Baker declared that the situation
was in no way serious and would be
'remedied within a short time. but the
fact that all the forces are not yet
mohilized is sufficient refutation or
unfounded reports recently spread
broadcast that the national army
would be on its way to France by
February, there to complete its train
ing behind the battle front.
"A shortage of clothing at two
camps has delayed the mobilization
there" said he. "Overcoats and other
articles of apparel are not yet avail
able at these camps in sufficient guam
tity. There has been some conStruc-
tion delay at other camps. But there
is nothing about 1t to cause the slight
est worry. IT is only A question of
a short time before these matters will
be remedied."
Eastern Camps Suffer,
The eastern camps have experienced
the greatest disarranSement of their
mobilization schedules, according to
information obtained at the War De-
partment Especially is this true OF
Camp Upton, at Yaphank, L. l.. Camp
Dix. at wrightstown, ". j.. and
Camp Meade, Admiral, Md.
Indications last night were that
the mobilization can not be complet-
ed before Thanksgiving. Secretary
Baker said that it was useless at this
time to attempt estimates. At Camp
Lewis the final Is per cent of the
drafted men from the Northwest will
begin to mobilize on Monday. That
camp then will be able to proceed
with its training schedule at high
speed. But even there the preliminary
course of training-the sixteen weeks
set by the General Staff as the min
irnum for any drafted man before
leaving this country-will not be COM
pleted until March
The drafted men transferred to Ma
tionsl Guard organizations will be
the first of the national army forces
to get overseas. These men-raw re-
cruits that they are-have been re-
ceived into organizations which have
had real training and, it is believed,
can be safely absorbed, as were the
recruits in Pershing's first division
of REGULARS.
