Washington, Nov. S.-EstimatI
upon which congress will make ap
propriations for the first fiscal yeal
Of the new republican administration
are now being prepared by the vari-
Gus government departments under
the direction Of democratic cabinet
officers and in accordance with the
policies Of the Wilson administrator.
The estimates will be submitted to
congress at the opening of the neXr
session on Dec. g.. Since the repub
licans have majority in both theA
senate and house, sharp changes are
expected to be made in most of the.
estimates.
The present political situation with
regard to the annual appropriation
Is similar to that which obtained
eight years ago after the first elec-
tion Of Woodrow Wilson, but thSe
economic situation in the
was vastly different. At -
the republicans were in CON. -
executive branches of the gcVern-
ment under President Taft. but the
democrats had majority in both
the senate and the house. At that
time government expenditures were
only a fourth of what they are at
present.
The forthcoming estimates for the
war department will be based upon
the requirements Of an army the
size OF which already has been fixed
by the republican congress, but the
naval estimate to be submitted next
month will be bs.sed on the demo-
cratic program. Secretary Daniels
has repeatedly said that unless the
United States became a member Of
the league Of nations 1t must MAIN
tain the most powerful navy in the
world.

Under the Program authorized in
1916 the government is now COM
structing five great battle cruisers
and more than that number of super.
dreadnaughts, and the Forthcoming
naval estimate is expected not only
to include appropriations for carry
ing on this work but also recon 6

Chicago, Nov. s.-owners OF the
major league baseball clubs were in
session here today to decide for peace
or war in major baseball, with reor-
ganization OF the national commission
as deciding factor.
Magnates Of the eight National
League clubs>and the Chicago, Boston
and New York American League
clubs extended until 20 o'clock today
their ultimatum to the other five
American League clubs on adoption
OF the Lasker plan for new COM
mission or declaration Of war.
President Johnson. OF the American
League, summoned all the American
League clubs to meet a. o'clock.
The attitude Of the majority was in
doubt when the meeting began.
When the 'ultimatum" was issued
here Oct. Is johnson declared he
would approve no plan until after the
Cook county baseball grand jury had
reported and a counter proposition
was issued by the loyal tive," but
the eleven National and American
League clubs at an informal session
voted to stick by their former posi-
tion, with the threat Of new twelve
club league repeated.
Opposition was expressed to the
plan by President Johnson and the
Washington, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
their counter proposition, declared
their belief that professional base
ball should not be taken out Of the
control Of club owners, managers and
players.
The Cook county grand jurys re-
port stated that the grand jury be-
lieved that the men now controlling
and the johnson forces apparently
share this belief.
The Lasker plan would choose
three nationally prominent men who
would have jurisdiction of the ma
tional pastime.
In the long conferences held yves
terday by both factions it was known
three American League owners dis
cussed plans to avert a war, but they
remained steadfast in their determi-
nation to form the twelve team
league should the other teams refuse
to come in.
Minor Leagues May Act.
No little interest was manifested in
the meeting of minor league club
owners in Kansas City tomorrow.
Many passed thru Chicago yesterday
and major league representatives
conferred with them with a view to
getting information as to whether
or not support Of the Lasker plan
could be expected from the minors.
David Fultz, president of the In
ternational League, and T. j. Hickey,
president Of the American Associa-
ton, recently declared that if the
rev plan was put into effect the
minor leagues should have a hand in
the selection Of the men on the gov
erning body as well as paying a part
Of the salaries. Indications that lob
bying might be an important feature
Of the Kansas City conference were
noted when dispatches from Kansas
City were received here saying res
ervatious had been made there for
Ban Johnson, Connie Mack, Benia-
min Shibe and James @. Dunn, who
were expected to go to Kansas City

On Board Senator Harding's
Special Train, Nov. S.-Coming to
Texas for vacation after the try
ing requirements of his campaign.
President Elect Harding declared to-
day that he was determined to put
the thoughts OF his coming response
biiities out of his attention and give
himself over for the next two weeks
to complete rest and recreation. He
told his friends that he expected to
stay OH the front page and to cease
temporarily to be more than a
:.acond -rater in the day-to- day
-u.Esn of the daily newspapers.
Fr..-i the time of his arrival at
Poilt Isabelle, a small and remote
Wage on the southern Texas coast,
l4a VS. ready to plunge unreservedly
into 44...S..ng and golf. He expected to
ONT hunting because it never has
bee. among his favorite sports.
Mo Conference With Mexicans.
The fact that Foint Isabelle lies
only six miles from the Mexican
border has given rise to many whis-
lWeen the president-elect and repre-
81 rtatives Of the new regime In
I afex.co, but those closest to Mr.
lard were inclined to throw cold
Mt n on such as these reports. Mr..
E;sraing,, himself, said today that no
such conferences were 'in prospect.
The same attitude was taken by
the president ,oward published
suggestions that he might begin be-
fore his inaugura Ion informal con-
yersatton with European governments
reg a.ding the formulation of an as
s8cIation of nations.
The delicacy of Mr.. Rarding's posi-
ton in that regard has been pointed
sut more than once by those closely
associated with him.3 Elected to, the
presidency by an overwhelming ma
ior.ty after promising many changes
ii the. nations foreign policy, he
.,atIrafty is looked to by foreign
Governments to take the proper steps
20 put those changes into effect. Yet,
i1y a proviso of American law, unique
sallong the greater powers or the
world, he remains a private cltlzen
for four months, forbidden by d1plo-
matte propriety to take any hand In
the direction Of executive affairs.
IT is understood that several men
representing themselves either truly
or falsely as the spokesmen of for
eign statesmen attempted to gain in
terviews with Mr.. Harding at Marion
even before his election, but his head
quarters officials say all of them were
turned away.
