WILL BE NO BIG GAIN
IN WAR EXPENDITURES

Washington, Nov. 26.-The second
year of the war will cost the United
States about the same as the first, ac-
cording to estimated expenditures pre-
pared today at the treasury depart

For the fiscal year beginning next
July |, ordinary disbursements, not
including loans to allies or interest on
bonds yet to be authorized. are esti-
mated at $l2,70l, 900, 900, as compared
with Sl2,316O00.0o0 for the current
year ending June 80. 1918. This esti-
mate includes interest on the $780,
100000 government securities already
authorized.
A large part of the sum must be
| raised by bonds. Secretary McAdoo
| already has announced that about

| vided by issuance of bonds or treasury

Chilean Heiress Takes Stand
in Own Defense Against
Charges.

Mineola, n Y. Nov. 26.-Frem the
witness stand today Mrs. Blanca de
Saulles told story upon which may
depend her conviction or acauittal of
the charge of numbering her husband,
John l. de Saulles
1t was a tale in which pathos and
humor We're mingled There We're mo-
ments when the pale, 23-year old Chill
can heiress smiled broadly at a part
of her own grim marathon and when
the spectators in the courtroom
laughed so loudly it was necessary for
Justice Manning, who is presiding, to
rap for order.
Is Mostly Pathetic.
But the greater part of the story was
so deeply pathetic that Jurors and
spectators were visibly affected.
1t was a recital in which scenes were
rapidly shifted. The first was a lux
urious estate in Chile. where the de-
fendant spent her childhood Then
followed reference to the three years
the young woman spent in a convent
| in England. There was the return to
her Chilean home and her acquaint
ance with de Saulles, fresh from laur-
els won as football star at Yale.
Then the witness told Of her brief
courtship and the wedding in Paris in
! 1911.
Then Comes Unhappiness.
| From this point the story was one
of domestic infelicity and of indiffer-
ent neglect and the unfaithfulness or
the part of the husband. which eyentu-
ally led to the divorce court. These
years of unhappiness for the defend
ant were described as horrible
nightmare" in one of the several letters
written by Mrs. de Saulles as read Il
the court and which interspersed hel
testimony.
Next came the climax of the nara
tion-Mrs. de Saulles' account of tn,
tragedy at "rhe Box" her former hus
bands home near Westbury. l.. l., th'
night she failed in her endeavor L
obtain possession of her son and in
