There is an apparent diversity OF
opinion among legal authorities as 10
what constitutes "A military camp
within the meaning of the law on which
the Presidents order is based, but the
consensus seems to be that a camp is
the temporary abiding place OF troops
engaged in a military operation ana

and not the permanent station of bod

more permanent character.
Some Camps" Here.
Instances of camps" in this vicinity
are the engineer camp at the American
University and the citizens training
camp and the camp of the Sd District
Infantry at Fort Myer. 1t is held by
some authorities that the Presidents
order does not apply to the engineer
post at Washington barracks or to any
of the stations of United States sailors
or marines in this vicinity, such as the
Washington navy yard or the marine
barracks on Sth street southeast These

MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS
TO BE SECRET HEREAFTER
Censorship Not to Be Used, However,
in Hiding Names of Any Dis
asters to Soldiers.

Washington, July 31.-The move
ment of American troops to France
will be carried on absolutely without
publicity if the present policy of the
War department remains unaltered.
Secretary Baker and some of his mill
tary advisors believe that no word
should be published of the arrival Of
troops abroad, under the voluntary
censorship to which the press Of the
country has subjected itself.
Assurances have been given both by
navy and army officials that disaster
will not be hidden under the veil Of
this censorship, and presumably under
the new regulation also the American
people will be expected to understand
that no news is good news in this re-
spect.

VoLD BY ADMINISTRATION THAT
COST OF STRUGGLE FOR YEAR
WILL BE $1o,735, so7, 900 Elk
elusive OF LOANS.
HOW SUM WILL BE RAISED
is NOT YET Determined
Sentiment in Favor of Offsetting Bulk
of Expenditures by Bond Issues.
TWO Billion to Be Raised
by Taxation, Leaders
Predict.

Washington, July Estimating
the cost of the war for che coming
year at S10,735, 807, 900, exclusive Of
loans to the Allies, the administra-
ton has informed Congress that new
revenues totaling $7,000000,000 must
be raised from taxation or issuance
of securities.
If advancement of credit to the AL
lies is continued at the present rate,
the years total of war expenditures
will pass $15,OO0,000,00O and the
amount of additional revenue required
will increase accordingly.
Bond Issues Favored.
How Congress will meet the enor-
nous new revenue requirements re-
mains to be determined but there is
a distinct sentiment in favor of Offset
ting most Of the expenditures by bond
issues.
Many leaders on both sides Of the
capitol predicted that not more than
$2,000,O0O,O0O of the $1,000 100000 ask
ed would be raised by taxation, and
that the remainder might be met par
TALLY by bond sales and particularly
by issuance of treasury certificates of
Indebtedness.
Equipment Requires Much.
Equipment and stores for the ma
tional army, particularly artillery, will
require the lions share Of apprOpria-
tiOns under the administration esti-
mates. Of the years total of $10,-
735, 1907, 900, the War department alone
expects to spend $7,864, 100000, or S5,-
319,000,000 more than has been APP
propriated thus far for it's expenses
during the year.
The Navy expects to spend $780,
100000, of which $288,O00,OOO remains
to be appointed.
The shipping board, whose ship
building projects place it third on the
list, expects to spend $799,000,000 Of
which $350,0O0,O00 remains to be ap-
propriated.
These figures cover the cost of the
war from July 1 last to June 80 next.
They do not include the money spent
prior to the first of this month.
Cover War to June Next.
Estimated receipts for the year were
placed by Secretary McAdoo, in trans
hitting the estimate to the House
ways and means and Senate finance
committees, at $2,333, 100000 The es-
innate of receipts did not include rev.
enues to be raised under the pending
war tax BILL estimated by administra-
ton leaders in Congress at $1,670, &c.
600. Revision of the bill will begin
at once to embody whatever addition
al taxation it may be deemed best to
impose as a result of the new esti-
mates.
Tremendous as are the estimated
expenses Of the government for the
year the appropriations actually sought
by the various departments are plac-
ed above these totals in order to pro-
vide margin of safety. Thus, the War
department, expecting to spend $780,
240, 900, asks for appropriation of S.
673,368,000, and the Navy department,
estimating it's expenditures at $780,
100000, asks for 81 ,324,17S,000.

BAKER, DANIELS AND POLK SEE
TOUGH NUT TO CRACK,
BUT TRIUMPH IN
END.
u. S. MUST RULE AIR AND
CRUSH U-BOATS, OPINION
Failure of Russian Offensive Heavy
BIoW-DeadIock on Western Front
Can Only Be Broken by Yankee
Intervention, According TO
Officials.

Washington, July 28-This is sum-
mary of what the three Americans in
closest touch with the war situation
think of it:
The Western front is nut SO tough
that it cannot be cracked with the
present Allied tools.
The United States will have to do
that
The United States can do it.
The failure of the Russian offensive
was far more disastrous than had been
anticipated. 1t was an utter rout.
But the very disorganization Of Rus
STA is encouraging in the sense that
Germany can make no advantageous
peace with the newest republic.
The United States must raise the
proportion of Allied to Teuton fighters
on the Western front to something
like three to one.
Or the flank of the Western front
must be turned.
To do either of these things we must
free the seas of submarines and dom
mate the air.
And:
The French and British can more
than hold their own until we can
bring our forces into play for these
purposes.
View of Baker, Daniels and Polk.
This is the picture sketched by Sec
rotary Baker of the War department;
Secretary Daniels of the Navy depart
ment and Acting Secretary of State
Frank L. Polk. It is a composite pic
ture drawn after long talks with all
these three men in which the whole
situation was thoroughly discussed. 1t
is not a pessimistic picture.
1t reveals a great task. But it was
the picture before Americas eyes
when war was declared. 1t has not
grown worse as the details have been
painted in by the experience of the
last three months.

years, in the country. BY system of
selection these will be modified and

DRIVEN OFF WHEN MAKING
SECOND ATTACK.
COMMANDMENT DID NO

Five or Six Bombs Dropped in SUI
burban Sections Slightly lnjure
Two Women-Germans Switch
Air Attacks From London to
Paris With Little Success.

London, July 31-Having retreated
approximately 100 miles. the Russian
army in East Galicia is again on Rus
sian soil on both sides of Husiatyn and
is still being followed by the Teutonic
armies.
Likewise, the armies to the north
and south continue to retire before the
enemy, at few points only offering
resistance, and then only for short
time. Wherever faithful troops at
tempt to give battle they are har-
assed by numerically stronger enemy
forces and compelled to give ground,
receiving no assistance from their
recalcitrant former brOthers-in-arms,
whose main effort continues to be to
get out Of striking distance of the
enemy.
Russian Retirement Rapid.
So fast has been the Russian retire
ment and the advance of the enemy
toward Bukowina that an arc-like for
nation has been thrown westward of
Czernowitz, the capital, with the north
ern end resting on Woc1awice, 25
miles distant, and the southern end
east of Kuty, on the western border of
the crown land.
"BIood and iron" Policy.
Evidently the preparations for the
"blood and iron" policy of the gov
eminent against the disaffected troops
shortly will be put into full force, for
Minister of War Kerensky is on his
way to the Russian headquarters,
there to confer with the military lead
ers to formulate plans to stay the
retreat and compel the troops to face
the foe as the Russians in the south
ern Carpathian region are doing. Down
along this latter front, the Russians,
aided by the Roumanians, continue to
compel the Teutonic forces to cede
ground, especially in the upper Putna
valley.
French Hit Germans Hard.
Again French troops in the Aisne
region of France have turned in
vicious counter attacks againest the
Germans, put down an offensive they
had started between Hurtebise and La
Bovelle and made good gains against
them all along the line. Several at
tacks by the Germans in the Verdun
sector, notably between the region Of
the Avocourt wood and Hill 304 also
were repulsed.
Meanwhile the great artillery duel
which has been in progress in Elan
doris for more than a. week continues
unabated. The visitation of German
shells on Newport is tremendous, and
the British guns are replying almost
shot for shot. Around Vimy Ridge
and Lens and at Armetieres, the duel
continues of greater proportions.
