81. 347,727.0OO IS
ASKED Of CONGRESS
FOR 1878 WAR DRIVE
War Department Calls for
Amount in Addition to Pre-
viOuS Estimates for Next
Years Military Program

WASHINGTON, Sept. i1.-Congress
was asked 10y the war department. TO-
day 10 proviue $1.347.127,O 900 in addition
20 previous estimates Tor carrying out
The enlarged American military pro-
gram Tor the coming year.
This came as a supplement today TO
President Wilson's answer TO the Teu-
ton peace maneuVer.
The new estimates, if left uncut by
congress. will bring total apprOpria-
tons for the fiscal year of 1888 to
more than thirty-siX and a half billion
dollars.
The estimates are divided as follows:
For pay OF the army. $79l, ,S52.l6.
For subsistence, including food. $685.
4IO.U22.yi.
For transportation, SI.2I7,S54. 3O5.97.
For clothing. $17S. ,SS1.S1.
For chemical warfare, $i9S,IO4,0OO.
For ordnance, S3,5S5,S7 includ-
ing $500. 600. goo provided for in a prev
ious contract authorization.
For Provost Marshal General Crow
dcr's office and for draft work through
out the country. s23,6l7 ,302.
For air service, Sl7S,75S, 366.S5, which
IS in addition 10 more than $lO4 ,OOO,OOO
previously appropriated in the regular
army appropriation bill.
Chemical Appropriation
The chemical warfare appropriation
is carried for the first time as a sepa-
rate item. The medical department has
always had charge of these expendi-
lures.
The new estimates will be carried in
the next general deficiency bill, hear
ings on which will begin before the
house appropriations committee in the
next few days.
In addition to the army estimates, the
bill will probably carry estimates of
several hundred million dollars for the
shipping board. bringing the total in the
bill above $4,000 goo, 900, the amount TO
be raised by the new revenue bill, the
largest in history.
The amount previously appropriated
and carried in contract authorizations
for the fiscal year of 19lS-l919 is $685.
591.241, 1887. Included in this amount,
however, is a half-billion-dollarc contract
authorization which is carried as d.
rect appropriation in the estimates sub
mitted today.
Huge Total Provided
Allowing for the doubling of this half
billion the amount appropriated and au-
thorized for the fiscal year would reach
SS6. 63S. eos, 1883. To this must be
added the estimates of the shipping
board and other minor estimates yet to
be presented to congress.
In making public the new estimates to-
day, Sherley said:
The submission of these estimates
which contemplates a very great in
crease in the army, is a most complete
and not to be misunderstood answer to
the Austrian peace proposal Congress
will unquestionably vote whatever
amount of the estimates submitted,
which upon hearings had. it is found
can be expended in such enlargmnt and
equipment of the army"
