WAR PROGRAM TO COST MORE.
Estimates Boost Secretary Bakers
Fiqures TO $4,000. 900, 900.

Washington, D. c.. May A. The vast
army expansion program submitted by
the administration for the fiscal year
beginning July l next, will cost the
nation close to s2000O,o00, 900, in the
opinion of many members of the house

Secretary Of War Baker, who was
before the committee again yesterday,
reiterated his statement that the pro-
gram calls for Observation-Disclosures to-

The secretary was closely questioned
on many of the items. however, and
both republican and democratic men,

that the expected Teutonic drive
in Italy is about to begin. There
also are indications that the Ger
mans are on the eve of a renewal
Of the attack on the Franco Brit
ism iine.
It is announced that Emperor
Charles has left "for tho 'front.',
presumably the Italian front.
.oTaoH ai,nou'oes the Begin
ming this morning Of an intense
bombardment of the Anslo-French
positions south ond southwest Of
Ypres. It was here the Germans
met their disastrous defeat early
in the week in efforts to develop
their success in capturing Mont
kemmeI.
II is assumed they are gathering
their forces for another and.
greater effort. To the south, on
tho somme 'front.' the artillery ac-
tivity continues.
\ Tho past week has been a dis
tinotIy unfavorabIe one for the
enemy. After capturing Mount
KENNEL and heraldins it as the
first step Of a great advance, the
Germans have been unable to
gain southwest. of Ypres or east Of
thaat point. 5ss- s...s,s-s II Z
In Pieardy the past few days the
British and French have made
important local gains and the Ger
mans have, not reacted in force, an
unusual procedure. The enemy
has made no attempt to force the
French from hill 90 nor from Cas-
tel and from the new positions
around Hangard. The British and
French in the villers-6retonneux
region have not been molested ex-
cept by the German artillery,
which continues most violent
bomhardment north Of the Somme
and north and south Of the Avre.
Intense artillery FIRE on the
southern flank in Flanders has
not yet been followed by infantry
fighting. The Germans also are
bombarding heavily the British
north Of Albert. Perhaps the en-
emy may intend blow on the
Arras salient, as these lombard
ments have been on the northern
and southern end Of tho salient.
Dispatches from the front indicate
tho Germans are making ready for
further attacks.
Anglo French airnnen continue to
harass the German communication
lines in northern France and Bel
eium and have dropped thousands
of bombs on railways, railroad
stations and other important tar
gets. Thirty eight German ma
chimes, Of which twenty two were
destroyed rave been accounted for
by the allied aviators.l
Great Russia rapidly is being
cut off from access to it's former
European allies. Finland is almost
completely under control Of the
Finnish governments forces and it's
German allies, while in the south
all but the eastern coast Of the
Black sea is in the hands of tho
central powers.
Berlin significantly refers, to the.
Finnish Red Guard az the "enemy"
in announcing the defeat and cap
ture of 10000 Of them. Reports
that a German prince will head a
monarchy in Finland again are
being circulated.

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government Las never consld-
cred any plan of seizing foodstufls
owned by hOuscholders. Nor is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
| homes.
These rumOrs were originated partly
| by pro- German propagandiSts and part
| ly by constituencies grafters, VINO
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving prnCticed on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials in Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
i housewives that foods so saved are
theirs, and theirs alone.

THE "DIFFERENT" PLAY
OF THE SEASON
To Be At Playhouse In March

Some plays, like some people,
never grow old. "Old Lady 81,
the classic comedy which Lee
Kugel will present at the Play
house, Wilmington, March ll-l2-l3,
with Emma Dunn as the star, has
been described as the different"
play which is looked for each sea-
son, but has never before mater
ialized. The fact that it is the
work of woman playwright and
stage director adds somewhat to
the interest which some are taking
in it. However, there are those
who are of the opinion that Shape
spere himself, could not have pro-
duced more perfect gem. 1t has
just the proper amount OF pathos
to keep it from being too full of
frivolity, and the types are SC
true to life and so amusing that
they are really the feature Of the
play.

BIG HERDS Gone
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Rasers Co-cPeraso
WITH Food Administration in Con-
scrvation Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look 10
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can Do
replenished.
When tho German armies retlreo
from occupied portions of France anu
Belgium approximately 1,oOO,ooo heau
of cattle were appropriated. This aa-
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations no"
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain producuoh'

nrices for live cattle was ordained Ill
| England, as follows: For SEPTEMBER,
| S17.76 per hundred pounds; OCTOBER,
| S17.2S: November and Deceliper'
! S16OS. and for January, $14.4O. the
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
total of 12,341 800 as compared with
14SO7 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only ono gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food adj
ministratiOn has taken steps to con-
serve our tlOcks and herds and to in

ers of this country show Il disposition

this.

A INDUSTRIOUS DEBT
IS DUE TO FRANCE

Il
Paris, Nov. 1S.-'Cermany' debt to
France is estimated at 100000, 900 900
francs by the Matin in an editorial
The newspaper apportions the debt as
follows. Return of the indemnity of
1871 with interest, 10000, 900, 900
francs; expenses in the present war
100000, 100000 francs; pensions, 49,
100000 900 francs, and reparation for
damages, 100000 900, 900 francs.
The M,aint declares that France
must secure acknowledgment of the
debt before examining the way in
which it is to be paid. France wants
no sindemnity profits, but all French
men want lawful PREPARATION.
Germany and Austria, II adds,
should return TO the Allies a minimum
of 100000 tons OF shipping in pay
ment for that destroyed in the war
but they have at their disposal only
100000 tons. Consequently the de.
livery of the entire German-Austrian
merchant marine would constitute
only half reparation
