Record Funds
Congress Let

Washington, July 23.-With total
appropriations only little short of
0,000,000,00O and more to be au-
thorized later the second session of
the 65th congress will stand as a
record session in point of cash au-
thorizations. Succeeding con-
crosses, leaders believe, will be
called on for even greater expendi-
lures so as long as America main
tains its vast military establish
ment in Europe.
OF the total appropriations the
greatest single measure was the
army bill, carrying upward of SIP
OS5,0OO,000 for the upkeep of the
army at home and abroad. In that
bill, however, clothing for soldiers
was not provided and an additional
amount for that equipment was pro-
vided in the general deficiency bill
carrying more than 000,000,00O.
Next to the army bill came the
fortifications appropriations carry
ing upwards of $5,473 100000 for
heavy siege guns abroad and air
and coast defenses at home. The
naval appropriation which author
lied vast increase in the enlisted
personnel of the army appropriat-
ed upwards of $1,600,000 900 and a
sundry civil bill appropriated near
ly $4,000, 100000.
To meet the $29.791 ,0OO, 900 to be
expended there is in sight a total
revenue of $1S,161, ,000,0 including
upwards of s4,OOO.00O,0OO under ex-
listing tax laws, postal revenues and
loans authorized and not made up
Of
In addition to this there has been
authorized an issue of war savings
stamps amounting to $4,000, 900, 900
of which there has been issued only
approximately 1907 900, 900.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, July %.
Every effort of government, ma

To achieve permanent peace and
TO destroy the German menace to

Hoover Tells
Allies of Pork
U.S.Cdfa Send

London, July 23.-Speaking at a
luncheon given in his honor by the
lord mayor at the Mansion house
today, Herbert c. Hoover, the Amer
lean food administrator, gave a
most reassuring review of the food
situation.
We can say emphatically that
all anxiety as to the great essen
tials of food is now past" Mr..
Hoover declared.
TO increase our beef produc~
tions," said Mr. Hoover, would re-
quire from three to five years On
the other hand, we could bring
about an enormous increase in our
meat and fat production through
swine within to u months"
Mr.. Hoover said the. American
Agricultural population had been
urged along this line and had been
given assurances which had led to
a wonderful increase in swine pro-
ductiOn.
i have in mind the increase of
meats for the allies" the food ad-
ministrator went on. We can fur
nish this whole volume in pork
alone Witan the next II months
we can with less pressure of saw
ing upon our people export 1S,OOO,-
600 tons, if necessary, and to this
Canada will add 3,000,0 900 tons
We are building ships as a part
of our submarine defense. We
have built up our food reserves in
the nearest market as a further de
tense. The call for ships for food
next year will be less than last and
consequently we will have more
Lin fnr. American sOldiers."

Allied Victory Gains.
In spite of the desperate resist
ance OF the Germans, the entry into

the foe, the victory of the allies con-
tinues TO develop.
Not only have the allied positions
been held intact against the en-
emy's assaults. but at certain
points further progress has been
made
The newspapers of Paris remark
that the victory is growing. not
only in relation to the ground re-
conquered by the allies. but also in
strategic advances. the Importance
OF which is being constantly aug
mented.
