war work, representing % organiza-
tons, presented King George and
Queen Mary with an address express
ing loyalty and extending congratula-
lions upon the silver wedding ami
versary of the royal couple, which oc-

Z 1t was the first time any British
ruler had received such deputation of

therefore, to serve as a guide for mar

Among the organizations represent
ed were those of nurses, nunition
workers, the workers on farms, and
those more actively connected with
the operations in the field.

SET At "A billion
Sherley Estimates Total
Revenue Under Existing
Law at $IS,I6l, $50,
REPORT DEFICIT OF
$5,S3S,363,l9I NOW

WASHINGTON, July 23-The next
twelve months Of the war are expected
to cost the United States in actual cash
expenditures s2i.OOO,O00,0OO. Contracts
10 be paid In la.er years Will amount to
nearly S5,5OO,0OO,0OO more. These fig
ures were made public by Chairman
Sherley Of the House Appropriations
Committee Discussing his statement
showing total appropriations and ou-
horizstions made by Congress, Mr..
sherley said:
1T should be borne in mind that
while the statement shows appropris-
tions and authorizations for a sum lit
tie short OF S30.O00OO0,O00. the amount OF
expenditures In the next fiscal year will
not necessarily reach any such total
In point Of fact the probability is that
such expenditures viii be at least flve
or six billions less than that amount
In support OF his contention that ac-
tual cash expenditures for the next fls-
cal year would be in the neighbor-
hood OF S2iO00,O00,000 instead OF $780,
OO0O0O.OO0 Mr.. Sherley referred TO flg-
ures for the fiscal year whicn closed
June g. Figures he has compiled show
that fiscal year tUialled SIS %, sol,
the actual expenditures, inclusive OF
loans to the Allies, were only si3.5Si,-
TO2. All. leaving a balance OF appropria-
tions for last fiscal year still unex-
pended OF S5.3i03i5,030.
Total revenue under existing laws,
Mr.. Sherley estimated at SIS ,i6i ,636, 500.
This includes revenue from existing tax
laws, bond issues, sale Of war savings
stamps and postal revenues. The pres
ent tax laws will raise about Si,097-
7i5,000, according to Mr.. Sherley's es-
timates, the postal revenue will be
s349. 10000. war savings stamps yet 10
be issued amount to Si,692, ,907 500 and
bonds authorized, but not yet issued
amount 10 si202i .2i4,000.
Mr.. Sherley did not speculate on what
the next tax law viii raise, but from
his figures on revenue and his esti-
mates Of the expenditures which will
be made Il would appear that an ad-
ditional S5,s3s. 100000 in revenue from
some source is needed instead OF only
81, ,000, 100000 more, as the Ways and
Means Committee Is figuring.
II the figures estimated by Mr.. Sher-
ley are correct. the government will
still be short about S200OOO0,O0O In
revenue for the flscal year. The tax bill
being prepared is 10 supply only 81
O0O,OO0.OOO additional at the most. This
would make the nations revenue only
S22. 900, 10000 for the fiscal year be-
ginning now an Mr.. Sherley's own esti-
mate Of the expenditure Is S2i,OO0OOO,-

PHYSICAL TESTS
FOR ARMY UNIFIED

WASHINGTON. July 23.-PhysIcal re-
quirements for every branch OF the
military forces Of the United States
have been unified. They cover the Reg
ular Army National Guard. and Nation
al Army. Standards which men must
attain TO enter the army have been
mailed TO all local medical advisory
boards. Announcement TO this effect
is made by Surgeon General Gorgas.
Adoption Of this policy is expected TO
prove welcome change from existing
conditions. Hundreds OF applicants for
entrance to officers training camps
have been refused on physical grounds.
and the same has happened TO thous-
ands who have tried TO enlist and been
refused only to be accepted later by
their draft boards.
The siatemen. issued by the Surgeon
General briefs the new standards thus:
"The rule for all three armies is that
to make a good soldier a man must be
able TO see well, have comparatively
good hearing, his heart must be able to
stand the stress Of physical eXertion, he
must be intelligent enough 10 under
stand and execute military maneuvres.
obey commands and protect himself
and must be able to transport himself
by walking as the exigencies OF mill
tary lie may demand"
Exceptions 70 this general rule are
only FOR men accepted for special or
limited military service.

to the individual company, never by
any chance speeded a suit case or a
basket Of peaches on its way. Now un-
der Mr.. McAdoo the executives who
used 10 sit at them are all as busy as
bees, but their work takes them into
the rough and tumble Of express traf-
no management and the dust gathers
on the polished mahogany.
The unified express corporations are
doing just what the railroads did when
the Government first took them over.
They have pooled their physical re-
sources and eliminated two men at any
point when one man will do. The rule
runs all the way from the front office
to the pick up" men, who gather the
packages from stores and on dOOrsteps
And 10 make efficiency truly efficient
1t has been announced that all hands
and the president may look for more
pay. This innovation has its inspira-
tion in Washington and is founded on
the principle that every one concerned
will be compelled 10 do more than an
average days work and should be paid
for It.
Patience Is prayed for on the part Of
those who have 10 travel and cooper
alton also. II is requested that II you
can carry a parcel or a suit case in
stead Of expressing IL that you carry il.
II your wife is going 10 the country
ask her 80 manage with half her pre-
war wardrobe. II you have a valet send
him TO the shipyard and spare the ex-
pressman his excess baggage.
The weeks until September must
pass before the whole service Is run
ming as 10 should be running. but the
executives who have the job in hand
con see no clamor and confusion after
hat.

service PROMISED
Vast Betterment by Sept. 1
on Government Pooled
Lines is Predicted
MORE PAY FOR
THE WORKERS

pr the benefit Of the big and the
little, the individual and the corporate
shippers, who within the next half
dozen weeks must use the express
service Of the country, the promise was
given yesterday that by the first OF
September the service will be running
smoothly and the cry Of lost and de-
layed property will be still
The promise emanated from the traf-
nc department OF the American Express
Company. which in this region OF the
Government controlled railroad and ex-
press service is the main stem Of all
the big and little AeXpress concerns,
which were amalgamated as one insti-
tuition twenty days ago and placed
under the control OF William G.. Nc
AdOO as Dlrector-General Of Railroads.
Already considerable headway has been
made in the task OF welding into a
single efficient system all the loose and
overlapping ends Of the express busi-
ness as IL was in the pre-war days and
within a few more weeks the system
will be fully organized.
When the Government stepped in and
practically federalized the express com
panies matters were at a sorry pass.
The war had taken thousands OF ex-
press employees, and with the heavy
strain placed by war freights on the
railroads the business Of receiving,
sending and delivering ordinary express
matter began to sag and bend.
Trunks, boxes, barrels and paper
packages began to disappear Or when
they did not disappear entirely they
tarried long in transit, sometimes
weeks, sometimes months. Thousands
Of dollars worth OF merchandise spoil
ed on sldlngs or became worthless
through being kept at terminals where
express matter piled UP mountalnously
upon undermined and incapably man
ned STATS.
The companies needed men and
couldn't get them. Even II the military
service had not drawn a man from their
equipment they still would have been
swamped with a mass Of business
which piled upon them. And mean
time they were in competition, com
pany with company, and the emer-
gencies Of this competition had created /
