sets Plans For Pushing
Original War Measure.

Washington, July 25.-Before Secre-
tary McAdoo appeared before the
finance committee it was understood
that the 5 5000, 900, 900 represented
the estimates of the war and navy de-
partments, and that he would propose
an additional billion dollars to be
raised by taxation, and seek author
ity for an additional credit of $780,
600, 600. Whether the latter sum was
to be in bonds or certificates of indebt-
edness was not disclosed.
Submit New Budget.
Washington, July 24.-The war rev.
enue bill for s1,672,O OO, 900 has been
checked on its way to passage be-
cause it is held not to provide nearly
enough for the requirements of the
army and navy in the war. The
amount needed, according to the lat
est estimates, is IS, 1000, 900 900. Sec
submitted to Congress a new war ex-
pense budget.
Secretary McAdoo presented the
new wal department estimate five
minutes before Chairman Simmons of
the Senate Finance committee was to
have introduced the old measure, com.
pleted after weeks of labor. This bill
is O expected to be held up in
definitely.
To Explain Treasury's Needs.
The new estimates are very much
In excess of those already presented,
and will necessitate raising evenue
not contemplated when the Senate Fl.
nance committee revised the war tax
bill.
Secretary McAdoo was to appear be-
fore the finance committee today to
explain the treasury's needs.
Secretary McAdoo asked Chairman
Simmons to withhold reporting the
war tax bill to the Senate, as had
been planned for today, until he could
confer with the senators.
Excess Profits Hit.
The new situation threw all the
plans for pushing the war tax bill
awry. Senate managers had no idea
when the big measure for raising the
revenues for conducting the war
would move forward.
While no official intimation of the
source Of the new revenue was given
before Secretary McAdoo went before
the finance committee, there were in
dications that it would be drawn prin-
cipally from excess profits and estates
taxes, probably some increases in in
come taxes and minor increases in
miscellaneous taxes. Official figures
are said to show that excess profits
in the United States are now at he
