(Bv Associared Press. }

London, Dec. 3. THE German
government is still undecided asf to
how to deal with the former en-
peror and the HonenzoIlerns," said
Hugo Haase, secretary for foreign
affairs in the German cabinet to a
correspondent Of the Express on
Sunday. 1T think" he continued,
they may be sufficiently punished
by the international odium they in
Cured"
Discussing the war, Haase said:
1.-THE guilt OF starting the struggle
lies with both German and Austrian
miIitarism. The government is now
investigating the pre-war methods
regarding the secret funds. The re-
suit will be published as soon as the
investigation is completed"

years. The estimated total of ST.
443,000,000 does not include this
item, nor $35S.307, 900 for postal
service. the needs OF which are COW
cred automatically by appropriations
but met directly from postal reve-
nues.
Heavy Insurance Costs
That officials count on the con-
tinued functioning Of the war risk
insurance bureau, to administer SOL
diers and sailors insurance and COM
pensation payment is indicated by
the request for $12.367,, 900 for ad-
ministration expenses.
The cost of collecting federal tax
es is put at $27, 346 900 and this would
be spent largely in the administra-
ton OF the taxes during the year
1919.
An unusual item in the estimates is
500, 100000 asked for conducting the
decenniaI census throughout the
United States. A little more than
$50, 900, 0000 900 would be spent by the
department OF agriculture in fighting
plant and animal disease and educa-
tionaI work. For The tariff commits
sion 100000 is asked, or twice as
much as the appropriation for this
year.

Despite the uncertainty Of life for
number of government war agen-
cies, estimates are made for the war
trade board, $2,465. 900; war indus
tries board, S1.000.000; food admin
