SPEED UP DOOM
OF SUBMARINES
Bonar Law Tells Commons
Destruction is at Ear
Greater Rate
ASK $500, 900, 900
MORE FOR WAR

LONDON, Aug. 2-Andrew Bonar Law,
Chancellor Of the Exchequer and gov
ernment spokesman in the House OF
Commons, stated in the Lower House
that German submarines were being
sunk at far greater rate than hereto
fore.
BOnar Laws statement was mace In
asking a vote OF credit Of s70O,OOO,000
ls3,5OO0O0,OOOl, the largest In the his
tory OF the country. Mr.. Law said the
largeness Of the amount was not due
to increased expenditures, but TO the
fact that Parliament was about 10 ad-
iourn. He hoped, he said, that not
more than one more vote would be
necessary before the end Of the fnan-
clal year.
The vot asked is intended for carry
ing on the war until the end OF Octo-
Der.
The Chancellor said the expenditure
on the army showed an increase OF
fs,0OOI0OO over the estimates. Loans TO
the Allies and the dominions had been
fewer than the estimates by f22O00,OO0
Analyzing the expenditure under the
various heads, the Chancellor explained
that the increase OF fS.000,O00 I'm the
army expenditure over the estimate Of
the current fiscal year was due 10 the
fact that the strength OF the army was
greater than at the time the budget
estimate was framed.
Regarding loans 10 the Allies and the
dominlons, Mr.. Bonar Law said the debt
IfHn nrfN In 81 ha % 49, Il 81
financial year was 81, ,332. 100000 from
Allies and fi9iOO0,OOO from the do
minions. The debt due from the Allies
now. he added. had reached a total Of
q, iO2,OOO0O0, and from the dominions
e20s, 10000.
The amount that had been loaned TO
Russia was 100000, the Chancellor
stated, while to France e402 10000 had
been loaned. To Italy f3i3OOO.OO0 and
to Belgium, Greece and smaller nations
fii9,OO0OOO.
Il should like TO make reference to
the assistance given TO Italy," said the
Chancellor, because the German Gov
ernment has spared no effort 10 create
the impression Italy is being utilized
and exploited by all the alliance, espe-
cially Great Britain. In 1916 Great
Britain agreed TO give TO the Italian
exchequer a monthly credit to be used
TO help italian exchange. A similar
contribution is being made by America
and France also will help. Those efforts
already have met success.
Besides. Britain has advanced TO
italy 3i3.OOOO0O pounds, all paid In gold.
This has enabled Britain to supply the
Italian Government with munitions and
equipment for the army. and food and
other articles for the civilian popula-
ton. The rate OF interest charged is
D per cent, which is below the rate the
Government is paying.
Bonar Law referred with satisfaction
10 the favorable food situation and the
great success OF the continuous bor-
rowing system by means OF sales OF
war bonds, etc, which during the last
nine months amounted TO more than
993OOO.OOO pounds, or nearly 80 per cent.
more than IN the corresponding period
OF last year. Those results had been
far beyond his expectations.
