WASHINGTON. Jan 20 The
problem OF raising additional revenue
to avoid the threatened deficit has as
sumed such proportions that Admin
istration leaders are reviewing the
entire free list to consider placing
tariff duties ON other commodities
than coffee, rubber and wool. and in
creasing the present tariff on sugar.
Revenues from these commodities
will fall far below the sum needed
unless there is a radical revision up-

taxes. but some officials feel that con
siderably more revenue could be
raised without appreciably increasing
the cost to the consumer.

American problem, devoting their lead

Of President Wilson's suggestion to neu-
trails to sever relations with Germany
For this. they assert. they see COM

AS far as European small powers are
concerned, the newspapers say that pro-

of these powers will push its protest 10
the point of rupturing diplomatic re-
lations while the entrance into the war
by any of them. with what is termed
the warning example of Rumania before

Halt Million Is Sought
of Congress for Relief
of Americans in Germany

Secretary Lansing has asked Congress
to appropriate 100000 for the relief of
Americans in Germany. In his letter
the Secretary did not mention specif-
ically the situation in which many
Americans in the Teutonic countries
are placed by the break with Germany,
merely calling attention to the con-
tinued extraordinary expenses of the
State Department on account of the
war and suggesting that the necessary
money be provided Immediately, 'fn
view of the important developments in
the international relations of the
United States within the past few
days"
When the European war began Con-
gress appropriated S2,75O,000 for relief
of the thousands of Americans strand
ed abroad. Relief was discontinued
more than n year ago. except in the
most meritorious cases.
Spokesman of the administration
went to great pains to emphasize that
the American government will follow
the letter of the law in dealing with
German subjects and property in the
United States and that no official of the
government has been authorized to
take any steps in violation Of this pol
icy. Even should war come. German
residents will be treated with the ut
most consideration. 1t is understood
that the government virtually has de-
termined to observe the terms OF the
old Prussian-American treaty of 1S2S.
under which the citizens of each coun-
try in the territory of the other would
be given nine months in which to dis
pose of their personal and real prop
erty and leave the country

with the United States will probably be
made again the occasion for leveling
against us charges of breaking trea-
ties and international law in order to
mobilize the indignation of the whole
world against our shameful acts. 1t is
therefore not at all an act of superer-
ogation to point out now. while the
deed is still fresh, that the United
States. simultaneously with the breach
of relations. has been guilty of an TN
justified breach of treaty in confiscat-
ing German property contrary to trea-
ties between them and Germany and
condemning German subjects whose
profession in the words of clause %
of the treaty of 1879, serves the sus-
tenance of the general veal of human
ity. to compulsory detention. This in
spite of the fact that the cited article
prohibits any molestations of German
subjects in the United States even in
the case Of war
III treaties are thus trodden under
foot after a breach of diplomatic rela-
tons. when President Wilson's phrase
that Americans are sincere friends of
the German nation is still resounding,
what have We to expect il the contin-
gency for which we must be prepared
arrives and war breaks out. If we cam
not prevent a breach of treaty we must
at least call attention clearly, openly
and Immediately to the fact that the
United States government has violated
the treaty of 1899 and the general prin-
ciples of the law of nations before Ger
MANY has undertaken anything which
could give the slightest shadow of a
pretext for such an action"

NEWPORT TORPEDO PLANT
is TO>DOUBLEI OUTPUT

Another advance in military prepared
ness was made today by order of Sec
retary Daniels to double the output
of torpedoes at. the Newport (R. -
plant. To make possible additional
equipment for the station, the Secretary
applied to Congress for an immediate
appropriation of 100000.
Commander Robson, commandant of
the torpedo station there, has been in
conference with the Navy Department
regarding the proposed extension. He
was authorized to begin preparations
for the work upon his return to New
port.
The Secretary said it was advisable
| to increase the plants capacity for rea-
sons of economy. He estimated that
the initial order to be placed for the
manufacture of torpedoes would save
$2.000.00O. the difference in cost be-
tween government and private produc-
| ton.
