Republican. A. P. Leased Wire1

lhSPdbttSohr hs GSaoc0 vNUGl
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Steps to protect the fishing fleets off the coast of New England from German subma- rine raiders have been taken by the navy. Secretary Daniels announced today that where the vessels operate in fleets as is the general custom, naval patrol boats hereafter will accompany them to their banks and there maintain guard.
 Protection of the fishing fleets was decided upon as food conservation measure as much of the nations fish supply comes from New England. De- cision to have naval patrol boats ac- company the little craft resulted from the sinking of dozen or more smacks by a submarine which appeared sud denly on Georges Bank, off the Mas sachusetts soast last Sunday.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-To permit business interests to provide in ad- vance for income and profits taxes due next year under the revenue bill now being framed, Secretary McAdoo to- night announced that an indefinite amount of certificates of indebtedness bearing four per cent interest and ac- ceptable in payment of taxes in 1919 would be issued immediately.
 These certificates. similar in terms to those floated in anticipation of tax collections earlier this year, are to take place of the usual bi-weekly issue of loan certificates announcement of which was due today.
 In effect, the offering of tax certi- ficates at this time affords a means of advance installment payments on next years taxes. Many corporations already have begun to set aside the funds. and three business interests are expected to invest heavily in the tax certificates.

 AND |S INCREASED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire

-- Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The so- called billion dollar budget approved early this year by Director General McAdoo for railroad improvements, and equipment, has proven insufficient to meet war needs, and it has been in- creased to s1,097, ,39S, 900 or $156. 600, GOO more than ke original aggregate of budgets of all federally controlled roads. This was disclosed today in a detailed report of capital expenditures authorized to date.
 Need For Rolling Stock Cause
 Most of the increase was made nec- essary by the growing need for cars and locomotives. Originally s4s6, ,Ooo, 900 was authorized for purchase of new rolling stock, but this has been raised to S6a5, ,666.000 by huge orders placed by the railroad administration. For additions and betterments, including new yard and industry tracks, terminal facilities, stations and bridges. the budgets of first class roads provided originally for s433, 900, 900. This has been pared down to s4o4, ,00O, 900 chargeable to capital accounts, but ad- ditional work costing s105000, 900, has been authorized, to be charged to oper- ating expenses. The s20,000,000 ap- proved carry llllS year TOT eAleHSlOnS and branch tracks has been raised to s35, 100000
 Part of Operating Expenses The s1,097 900 900 now authorized for additions, betterments and equipment, does not include an additional s125,- 652, 900 which will be considered as part of railway operating expenses. The huge problem of railway i'm provement indicated by these figures is now being carried cut, partly with the aid of an army of engineers, laborers masons, builders, steam shovels. tele- phone linemen and track layers in thousands of places along the rail lines The biggest single items in the addi- tions and betterments consists of yard | tracks. sidipgs and industry tracks.
 Improvement Program Costly l Tho actual outlay under the i'm provement program has been about s40O, ,0O0,0 900, officials estimate. Actual reports show s221 914,00 up to July including s102. .000000 for additions and betteI1nents, Sill, 100000 for cars and locomotives and ss,00o.O0O for exten- sionS.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire]


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Freedom of departure from this country of al- iens. by means of which a number of dangerous enemy agents have been able to escape from the authorities, will not be permitted after September 15, un- der a proclamation signed by Presi- dent Wilson and an executive order. The proclamation and executive order puts into effect the alien control law passed by Congress last May.
 Under the executive order aliens after September h will be required to obtain permits before leaving the United States and additional restric- tions will be placed on the entry of aliens. Attempts to evade the draft, through leaving the country, which of ficials believe, will increase with pas sage of the bill extending the draft ages, will be rendered less easy.
 All Now On Same Footing
 Heretofore American citizens have been required to make applications for passports in order to go abroad and to explain to the satisfactio of the de- partment of state the necessity of their trips, while aliens have been permitted to depart freely without making appli- cations for or explaining their trips, said an explanatory statement issued by the State Department tonight.
