To carry on its work on the present
scale and keep pace with the growing
numbers OF Americans in military
service, in addition to work with the
French, Italian and other allied
armies. the Y. NJ. c. A. war work
council will need 500. 600. 900. and this
will be the amount asked for in the
next drive. probably to be made this
fall. according to information received
here.
This budget was submitted at the
conference hell this week at the
Bankers Club. New York, At which
William Knowles Cooper, war work
secretary for the Washington district.
and Clifford L. Johnson, general sec-
retary for the central branch here,
represented tho National Capital.
Tho budget was based largely on the
report submitted OF the expenditure
Of the funds collected in the last
drive. when $35. 5.000, 900 was asked and
$50.000,000 was pledged. and upon the
statement Of DR.. John R. Mott. general
war work secretary. who has just re-
turned from the western front.
Reports OF DR.. Motifs statement re-
ceived here show that he called at
tention to thu unexr ected losses that

pairing to issue more detailed re-
view of conditions leading to the
advantage of going over the docu-
ment with the personal explanations
of the author.
DR.. Muehlon's first disclosures,
which caused such a commotion. gave
conversations with DR.. Karl Helf-
ferich, former vice chancellor. and
DR.. Krupp) )von Bohlen. chief owner
of the Krupp works, in which both
told him the emperor had disclosed
his agreement with Austria-Hungary

If Russia mobilized. which would in
evitably draw in the other powers
and precipitate a universal war.
Gives Day-by-Day Notes.
The document now issued Is more
detailed and general and gives day-by-
day notes made by DR.. Muehlon at the
critical time at the opening of the
war. DR.. Muehlon then had gone from
the foreign office to the directorate
of Krupps and his position gave him
constant access to the highest quar-
ters. He gives glimpses of the chief
figures from the emperor down. but
In the main avoids the mention OF
names for reasons of discretion.
though there are likely to be further
chapters later giving names. letters
and documents showing how the high
est quarters in Germany planned sys-
tematically for the bringing on of a
general war.
The whole trend of the present work
is to show that the world conflict was
imposed by the German emperor's
personal military policy and his pri-
vate engagement with Austria on the
eve of the struggle.
DR.. Muehlon gives further details
of his conference with DIR. Helfferich
Immediately preceding the war, in
which Helfferich told of the emperor's
plans toward Austria and Russia. AL

On the upper deck we saw the dead

were in metal cylinders the size of

In the officers mess hall one of the
officers summed up the results of the
trip. Most of the men, he said, were
from the west, with large number of
farmer boys who had never been on
the water before. This was a great e.
perience, great adventure, and they
were eager for 1t. There was little
seasickness after the first few days.
The men looked forward anxiously 10
getting into the fighting front, for
there was one common impulse running
through them all, as shown by their
letters home-that there was a big
job ahead which had to be done, and
they wished to do it and have done
