CALLS
FOR BILLION

Washington, Feb. 14.--A billion dol
lar urgent deficiency appropriation
bill, the largest of it's kind in the his
tory of congress, although cut half
billion from original estimates, was
favorably reported to the house to-
day by Chairman Sherley, of the ap-
preparations committee Considera-
ton Of the bill, which provides for
the immediate needs of the war, navy

ious military activities. Among these

tions of $779,000,000 additional. The
testimony Of Col. Ames, OF the ord
nance department, said that the total

troops arriving in France, but after
these units are supplied, the United
States would fully equip additional
trOons.
Americas resources, General Wheel
er replied, was sufficient to meet all
war needs. He asserted the war de
partment had billion dollars worth

by Press of Berlin-Red:

London, Feb. 14.-An important
peace debate will begin in the
German reiehstag on Feb. q, ac-
cording to wireless dispatch
from Amsterdam. Chancellor Won
Aert'ino will discuss the treaty
with the Ukraine and will reply to
the addresses Of President vii.
son, Premier Lloyd George and
Premier orIano.
Amsterdam, Feb. 14.-Judging from
latest indications in the German press
much dissatisfaction and suspicion has
been aroused by the latest move of
Foreign Minister Trotzky. Important
political and military leaders are said
to be comforting busily to find the best
solution to the puzzle.
The Kruse Zeitunz of Berlin on
Tuesday declared ION reliable infor-
nation that Trotzky's proposal is in
no circumstances to be regarded as a
peace offer, while it is pointed out by
other Russian papers that the war the.
ater was mentioned especially in the
official army report of Tuesday. A
Berlin telegram to the Kolnische Volks
Zeitung of Wednesday says:
"The government is not willing to
continue relations with Russia on any
basis whatsoever unless the present
Russian government signs a regular
peace treaty. AS, however. it must
be reckoned for the present, at any
rate, that Trotzky does not think of
signing any formal peace declaration,
a situation is created which makes
necessary a thorough discussion be-
tween the government and the su.
preme army command" ~.
Recall {of. Commission. -. 49,.
The. correspondent adds:
"The chancellor is resolved under
no circumstances to conduct any fur
ther negotiations In any neutral cen
ter and It will be the affair Of the CEN
trail powers to determine where such
negotiations may be held. The recall
OF the economic commission from
Petrograd is under consideration. '..f.
,"On the other. hand, it is evidently
realized that the question of the big
army Of Austro-G German prisoners Of
war in Russian territory still con.
trolled by Petrograd cannot be over:
looked ~.
Sham Maneuver.
All German newspapers note the
fact that three hours after message
was sent out announcing the issuance
of a rehabilitation order to the Rus
sian army, another Russian message
was issued ordering that circulation
OF this communication be stopped. It
is suggested that this indicates that
the Bolsheviki government no longer
thinks of adhering to the declaration
OF Foreign Minister Trotzky.
The Zeitung Am Mittag goes so far
as to say that there are proofs that
Trotzky's promise Of a Russian de.
mobilization is sham maneuver. 1t
declares that reliable reports repre-
sent the Bolsheviki as energetically
forming Red Guard army out Of the
remnants of the Russian armies. In
the hope of raising million men to
establish Bolsheviki power in the bor-
der states.
