Washington, oct. 14.-Federal
expenditures for the current fiscal
year will be kept within the agreed
limit OF $4,0S4, 900, 600, Secretary
Mellon declared tonight in a state
ment, denying reports that addi-
tional deficiency appropriations OF
$S70, 100000 would be asked. The
program limiting expenditures to
the above figure. which had the
sanction of the president and the
house ways and means committee'
is being carried out satisfactorily,
according to the statement.
The original program made al
lowance for estimated deficiency
appropriations which, sit was real
ized, would be necessary in con-
ilection with certain government
activities. Mr.. Mellon explained.
These included, particularly the
settlements with the railroads
growing out of federal control and
vocational training for the former
service men, but Mr.. Mellon ADDED
that his information indicated the
revenue requirements of the gov
ernment still would be amply pro-
yided in the S4,034, 100000.
Congress has been advised, the
secretary said, that it could pro-
ceed with the framing of revenue
laws on that basis and there now
appeared no reason to alter the
plan. The tax program, therefore,
was not affected, he added. Some
deficiency appropriations will be
submitted during the current fis-
cal year, according to the seere-
tary, who reiterated that they had
been taken into consideration al
ready in the estimating of actual
expenditures. Mr.. Mellon said also
that so far as treasury officials
could now foresee, financial plans
for the coming year would stand
unchanged.

commit the SiegeI Bill to
the Census Committee;
Too Large Already.
lBx The Associated Press.l

washington, Oct. 14.--The house
recorded its opposition tonight 10
any increase in its membership,
recommitting to the census COM
mittee by a. vote of l46 to 142, the
Siegel bill to increase its size from
435 to AGO members.
The vote was taken on a motion
to recommit offered by Represen-
tative Fairfield of Indiana, a re-
publican member of the census
committee, after nine hours of de-
bate and wrangling over parlia-
mentary procedure. -
Previous to recommittinS the
bill. the house rejected, lao to 146,
an amendment by Representative
Barbour, republican. California, to
authorize reapportionment without
any increase in membership.
Another amendment offered by
Representative Tinkham, republic
can. Massa chusetts, to decrease the
membership to 425 was smothered
under an avalanche Of "noes."
Eleven southern states. which Mr..
Tinkham charged had disfran-
chised negroes, would have lost
tllirty-three seats and Massachu-
sctts one under his amendment,
while gain of twenty four seats
would have been split among a
dozen states. which made consid-
erable gains in population during
the last decade.
1t was the second time within a
year that the house has blocked
efforts to increase it's size, during
It ~, 1,i1t fly the
membership at 483 being defeated.
At that time another bill providing
for reapportionment under the
1920 census without increasing the
number of members was passed by
the house, but no action was taken
on it by the senate.
Opponents of the bill tonight
contended that the house already
has an unwieldy body, and that II
would function less efficiently with
an increased membership. Chair
man Siegel and Representative
Larsen OF Georgia. a democratic
member of the committee, pleaded
for the measure while Representa-
tives Fairfield and Rankin, demo-
crat. Mississippi, directed the at
tack against it. Party lines were
disregarded in the final vote.
Announcement by Representa-
tive Mondell, the republican lead
er, that although he had opposed
an increase in the size of the
house at the last session, he fa-
vored the Siegel bill. brought crit
icism from several republicans OPP
posed to the measure, Representa-
tives Cooper Of Wisconsin and
Beedy or Maine, being particular
ly emphatic in their remarks.

MUNICH. Germany, December so
\ corporation with an initial capital
of 1.200.000.000 marks has been or
ganized for the construction of a
canal connecting the Rhine. the Main
and the Danube. the biggest water
way project ever undertaken in Eu-
rope, which will require twenty years
for completion.
The executive board consists OF six
ty-one mem bers. eleven of whom will
represent the central government and
eight the Bavarian government Twen-
ty-two shares are to be taken by in
dustrial, shipping and banking ciycles
in Germany.
Sixty Locks Required.
Part of the canal, work on which
will begin on January l, will be built
across a 1,200-foot elevation. requir-
ing sixty locks over a stretch of 700
kilometers. Forty power plants. ca
pable of developing 100000 horse
power, are to be erected. designed to
furnish $500. 100000 kilowatts Of pow
er per hour, at an estimated saving
of 100000 marks worth Of coal every
year
The total length of the waterway to
be created will be 3.437 kilometers
and will be able to accommodate 800
ton ships.

which its promoters believe will make
it of inestimable value to foreign as

AGREEMENT is REACHED
ON ALRPLANE CARRIERS
Powers Raise HalyS Allowance A fer Protest.
Auxiliary Ships Await Aduices From
Home Governments of Delegates.

at the beginning. which was stated
In item "a of the proposal. that:
NO new airplane carrier tonnage
except replacement tonnage shall be
laid down during the period of the
agreement" would not be applicable
to the situation in which the powers
round themselves, because the exist
ing tonnage was not of definite
type. but provisional and expert
mental: and that, therefore. those
who had carried their experimental
tlon to the point of having actual
ships would be placed at an inequit-
able disadvantage as compared with
those who had not built their ships
and who could take advantage of the
latest Information and inventions.
That seemed to be very reasonable
position. and the American delegation
would bring forward a proposal
based on the liberty of the powers
to consider the existing airplane car
rier tonnage as an experimental tom
mage and to provide for replacement
from that standpoint
Subject to that matter of replace
ment of airplane carriers (Which. he
assumed, might well go with the
other provisions as to requirements
now under consideration by the tech
nical staffs), he believed that there
was nothing more that need he con-
sidered at this time with regard to
airplane carriers. He asked whether
he was right in this assumption.
Asks for Expressions.
In view of what had been said in
the general discussion, he understood
that that was the view of al! present,
but perhaps he should ask for a def
mite expression. Without awaiting
the drafting of a specific resolution at
the moment he would ask whether
there was assent to the proposal to
regard existing airplane carriers as
being of an experimental character.
and to the principle that in defining
the rule of replacements as TO air
plane carriers. each power should be
entitled to proceed to supply itself,
TO the maximum stated, with airplane
carrier tonnage.
Lord Lee asked, in order to avoid
misunderstanding. if it was under
stood that the principles of replace
ment. which he had indicated as de-
sirable, were accepted. The chair
man answered that this was. of
course. SO. with the understanding
that the old experimental carriers
should be scrapped.
The chairman said that it was un-
derstood that this liberty was liber-
ty of replacement. not a liberty of
addition.
The chairman said that the United
States of America asserted to the
proposal he had just made. He then
polled the other delegations and each
replied in the affirmative.
Proposal unanimously Adopted.
The chairman said the proposal was
unanimously adopted.
The chairman said that there We're
number of points stated in the
American proposal with respect to
replacement and scrapping and other
restrictions and regulations. He had
no desire to preclude discussion in
the slightest degreee on any of these
points. but possibly it would be. as
they were almost all of a technical
character. of advantage to have the
experts. who were considering the re-

LORD LASCELLES
NOTED AS SOLDIER
Princess Mary's Fiance De-
scribed as Man of Many
Attainments.
BY the Associated Press,


LONDON. December 14.-Viscount
Lascelles, the thirty y-nine-yea old-fi-
ance of Princess Mary, is tall and
slim, with blond mustache. He has
a soldierly bearing. is always we'll
dressed, a sportsman and good
after-dinner speaker. Consequently,
his contemplated entry into the roy
al family of England is regarded with
popular favor.
The courtship Of betrothed couple.
according to accounts, has been real
love making. They have ridden to-
gether in Rotten Row. and have
walked together through London
streets. Country house parties at
which the princess has visited have
included Lord Lascelles among the
guests. He was guest at Sandring-
ham during the recent stay of the
royal family there. He went shoot
ing with the king, and the princess
accompanied the guns. 1t was here
that the mutual regard established
at earlier meetings ripened into
something more.
Asks Kings Consent.
Lord Lascelles approached the king
before proposing to the princess, and
the royal parents, like any well-ord
cred family, talked it over with their
daughter. Princess Mary soon show
ed that she was as much iE love as
the viscount. whereupon the king
gave his consent to Lascelles pay
ing his formal suit to the princess.
The viscount won golden opinions
when fighting in France with his
regiment, the Grenadier Guards.
One of his fellow officers says that
Lascelles never lost his cheerful
smile even in the hottest fighting;
the only exception being when to-
bacco ran short. "a bally million
aire and not a cigarette to bless
myself with" he grumbled.
He had successfully circumvented
many attempts made upon his single
estate by matchmaking mothers and
had come to be regarded as a con-
tirmed bachelor He was not sup
posed to be ladies man" and his
tastes ran more in the direction of
sport. He is a hard rider to hounds
and has lately established a pack in
Yorks shire of which he is the master.
Lord Clanricarde, from whom Lord
Lascelles in 1916 inherited nearly
e., ,5O0.OO0, was supposed to be the
worst dressed man in the house of
lords. The rent roll from his Irish
estates ran lnlO IoV,VVe d ySdi

The Lascelles' London residence,

Geneva.
