 CALL REPORTS

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.- The fiscal year of the government for 1918 closed on June 29. The heads of the departments under the war cabinet have been ordered to report to the President regarding the stewardship of funds for the year just closing.
 The year has been a period of ex, pense which was not even dreamed of two years ago. Over $12,600, ,000,. 900 has been actually spent and fol the most part in carrying on the war. It covers army, navy and air planes for ourselves as well as the enormous loans which have been made to foreign countries who are now our allies.
 During times of peace the eX penses of the United States were considerably under $1.00O,000,OO0 per year. The present drain on the treasury department amounts to about $5O,O0O,OO0 daily, and the amount promises to grow larger.

DISTINCTLY A WEEK FOR ALLIES ON WESTERN FRONT
ENGLAND FEELS SATISFACTION
 OVER RAIDlNC

LONDON, June 5.-Deep-seated satisfaction is felt throughout Great Britain over the raids on Zeebrugge and Ostend, not merely on account of the results achieved but because of the hazardous nature of the ex, ploits and the extreme daring dis played by the British ships.
 The country appreciates the vital and effective service rendered by it's navy since England entered the war, but it has been a matter of regret that, apart from the tremendous blows dealt the enemy in engage, ments on the high seas, the navy has had few opportunities to em phasize, by spectacular operations, its courage and power.
 The attack on the enemy's sub that could not be gauged, has given that could not be guaged, has given the public another fine chance to vent it's praise of the nations pride"
