by the allies, but served to arouse the

that the central powers no Longer had

was chiefly to blame for the war, and
that France. and England werelnexf In

Washington, July 2.-The Govern
ment on Saturday closed its books
for che fiscal year ending at that
time-the first full fiscal year in the
war-and Monday opened new an
nuaI records. Cabinet members and
other heads of departments will mike
reports TO President Wilson, cover,
ing their stewardships Of funds and
responsibilities for the year closing
technically Sunday.
In Government financial history the
year will go down as a period of ex-
pense hardly dreamed of a decade
lgo. More than $12 zoe, 100000 is
the actual outlay since July l, 1917
to meet the multitude of big bills
run up for the army the navy, the
shipbuflding programme, airplane con-
struction. coast defense requirements
other Governments activities, and the
needs of the Allies for American
loans to finance purchases of war
N kiterials in this country. In peace
times tile Government spent less
| than 81 600, 100000 annually.
With the addition of the $780,
| 600, 900 which the Government spent
in the three months of war preceding
this fiscal year. the wars cost in
money, to date, has been s13,S00.-

War activities are now draining
abeat 5O.oo0,O0o a gay from the ma
tion'N public treasury. In June the
RUNNING expenses were greater then
ever before. though loans To The Al
lies dropped to less than in any
month since April, 1917, when the
| United States became a belligerent.
June Outlay About 81 100000 600.
Including estimates for the last
two days of the month, not yet re-
corded, expenditures for June We're
about $500, 100000, or approximate
~ the same as the record figure for
May. Ordinary expenses for the
month amount to about $1,25S.000, 900
new high record, and payments TO
allies wer approximately S235.o00, 900
less than half the $500 900. 900 which
the Treasury usually has figured as
necessary to finance the Allied pur-
ehases in the United States every
month. Use of ships to transport
troops to France, instead OF for war
materials, is considered responsible
primarily for the reduction Of Allied
loans.
