sibe for the Government to secure the goods appro
priated for.
1t will be remembered that the appropriations
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1918, amounted
TO over $19 900 600 900 and the authorized appro-
priations to little over 50 600 100000 stated
on the floor of the Senate at the time the revenue
bill was under discussion that it was physical I'M
possibility for the country to produce the amount OF
goods appropriated for during the year, and say
now, with all the additional preparations made for
a larger production of Government needs it is a
physical impossibility for this country to produce
the amount appropriated for the present fiscal year
1t cannot be done and furnish the necessary NUM-
tons of war and other goods and material with
which we will have to provide our allies.
Resume of the Years Expenditures.
Let me point out just what our expenditures
amounted to for the fiscal year ended June ~, 1918,
despite the size of the appropriations made for
that year.
Our ordinary expenses were ....... $|,6o4,bi3O4I.h
Interest on public debt was. 1S9,7332T1I4
We paid on account of the Panama
Canal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 19,zoou99.3V
We purchased obligations of foreign
Governments totallng. ........... 4,I33,029 '3OOo
We bought Federal Farm Loan Bonds
Principal NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Of,looooo.oo
WEI accred interest - $685. 295. 90
Thus the total payments for the year were ST.
691 692 IA, while the appropriations were over
$21, 200, 100000, without taking into account the
purchases of obligations of foreign Governments
which amounted to $4,733yO29,75O or in other
words TIE appropriations $21 ,OOO,OOO,000 and
the actual expenditures of the Government were
but ST. 662 72l.14
In connection with the purchase of the obliga-
lions of foreign countries l call attention to the
fact that what we really did was to cancel our
trade balance for their securities, or, in other
words, by purchasing their obligations and paying
the amount of same to the American exporters fur
nishng munitions of war, wheat steel, automobiles
and thousand other items, which created the
trade balance in our favor. The situation is viz

the war; what they object to is that ths praAnt
revenue laws are discriminatory and impose taxes
unjustly upon one business and allow another Oh
similar character to escape.
Taxes under existing conditions ought to be
made payable in instalments. The recommendation
from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that
the taxes this year be made payable in six equal
instalments is wise one and have doubt it will
be incorporated in the expected revenue legisla-
ton to be passed at this session of Congress
Available Money Must Move Nimbly.
1t was suggested recently on the floor OF the
Senate during the discussion of the bond bill that
the maximum amount of money available in this
country for all purposes is about $6,OOO,O 100000,
and this Sc, 900, OOO, 900 must be so utilized as to
provide for all this immense expansion of credit,
for probable collection of taxes for the present IFS
cal year of So 600 600 0O0 This expansion in credit
and the great increase in taxation it is said, will
require dollar of United States money to move
with greater nimbleness than was ever known In
the financial transactions of any country.
Men who have studied this question have doubted
the wisdom and soundness of currency expansion
and believed we could have taken lesson from our
experience during the first year of our partlclpa-
ton in the war and provided for some more pru-
dent outstanding of our resources to meet war con-
ditions All must admit wicked if not criminal
waste has occurred and many things have hap
pened that would not have been tolerated under
different circumstances. The question of time
was Of more Importance than the question Of
money.
Let me call attention to the fact that if we had
authorized the issuance of bonds covering all the
estimates of the departments, or even to cover the
appropriations that have been made at this session,
the increased authorization would have been $12,-
900 900 900 instead of $80000O0,0OO, making the
total authorization $24,0O0,0O0,00O.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10-General Per-

Verdun in an effort to advance toward
the Luxemburg border with an in

to the present time the Meuse River

eral Pershings right wing, as the Ar
gonne is danger to his left. The
twelve miles of frontage between
these barriers has compelled the ut
most care in the disposition of the
American units and had seriously
hampered the tactical operations.
The Germans on the east bank OF
the Meuse are now being driven Lack

American front north of Verdun. The
