President Will Talk
On Relief SUNDAY

Sept. 2 GN.S).-The meeting be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Ian.
don tomorrow is tinged with dra-
matte political possibilities. 1t
will be a meeting unique in preSi,
Dental campaigns. But that the
dramatic possibilities of their
meeting will develop into political
realities is seriously to be doubted.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been EN-.
phatically insistent that his trip
West is entirely disassociated with
politics or the campaign. Mr.. Ian.
don has been equally insistent that
the drought in all its aspects be
diSaSsociated from politics. Under
the circumstances, it would appear

for interest payments on the pub
lie debt, and the remainder for
operation Of the Federal depart
ments.
Revenue 5,665 Millions
Against these expenditures, the
President expects an inflow Of
$685., 1885, 600 from taxes and mis-
cellaneous sources, leaving a def
cit next June 80 of $2,096 .996 300.
This would be the lowest deficit
attained by the Administration.
On June 30 of this year the def
cit was 4,764 millions, while on
June 80, 1885, 1t amounted to
over 1878 millions and a year
earlier $3.50 millions.
To make up the additional cash
required the President expects the
Treasury to borrow only $50 mil
lions in new money between now
and next June and use LOO mil
lions of the cash in Government
vaults.
This small contemplated Dor
rowing represents a huge reduc-
ton from recent Administration
financing. Between December,
1885, and last June, cash borrow
ings amounted to more than 5000
millions.
The decision to use LOO mil.
lions from the Treasury's working
balance represents a change Of
policy regarding possible war
emergencies in Europe. Up to now,
the Administration has kept ap-
proximately 1000 millions ready
to protect American interests and
investments in the event Of hos
tilities abroad.

While estimating relief costs for
the current fiscal year at 1885 mil.
lions, Mr.. Roosevelt intimated that
drought and unemployment costs
might necessitate an additional ap-
preparation of 500 millions. Mr..

uary budget message that no new
relief appropriation would be
necessary if industry absorbs a
substantial number of the nations

FLIERS DRIVEN
AWAY BY RED
PLANES
Pursuit Is So Prompt
They Have No Time
To Drop Bombs
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA


MADRID. Sept. 2 GN.S0.-The
road of anti-aircraft guns woke
Madrid from fitful slumber early
today when two insurgent air.
planes flew over the city.
The attempted air raid proved
abortive as the insurgent invaders
were put to flight before they were
able to drop any bombs. Gov
eminent pursuit planes and anti
aircraft guns cooperated in meet
ing this latest air threat to Madrid.
Alarm Sounds at Dawn
The air raid alarm was sounded
at daybreak. Militianfen were sent
racing through the city on motor
cycles, their sirens Screeching to
warn the population Of an i'm
pending attack. For the third time
in less than a week, there was a
scramble for Easements and other
safety points as searchlights at
tempted to pick out the raiders
and antiaircraft gunners swept the
skies for prey.
Madrid's defenders succeeded in
spotting the two insurgent planes
before any bombs could be dropped
and, Immediately, pursuit planes
streaked off on their trail.
The roar Of airplane motors,
defamation of anti-aircraft guns
and the screech of warning sirens
turned the city into bedlam. The
racket was clearly heard through
out the city and was doubtless
transmitted over telephone lines to
foreign capitals, leading to reports
the city again had actually been
bombed.
A thorough check-up, however,
indicated success for the loyalists,
with the only casualty motor
cyclist who lost control of his ma
chine while racing through the
streets and was severely injured.
More Americans to Leave
Meanwhile, the United States
Embassy renewed its urgent ap-
peal to all Americans to leave
Madrid Immediately. Fourteen
Americans, including 10 women,
announced their intention of leav-
ing for Alicante tonight to board
the cruiser Quincy. Embassy re-
ports state only about 70 Ameri-
cans remain in the capital.
An official war ministry COM
1nunique made no mention of the
heavy fighting which continues at
Trun. 1t stated:
There is little change on the
Estramadura front. Fighting at
Huesca continues fiercely, with
lOyalists striving to enter the
city before nightfall.
Fighting continues around
Cordoba. Oviedo and other
fronts are comparatively quiet"
In Madrid 100000 radical militia
men, government troops, women
and children staged a parade in
defiance Of what they called yes
terday's "abortive" insurgent air
raid.

a constant fire on the insurgents,

the side of Mt. Turiarte and stem

At San Marcial bitter fighting
continued. The insurgents mounted
the hill on which the fort is To-
Gated through a storm of fire from
government troops in the fort, who
resisted to the death.
The desperate attack on the
fort apparently was causing whole

The insurgents, by controlling
most of Mount Turiarte. brought
Fort San Marcial under direct fire
of their guns.
The loyalist battery at nearby
Fuentarrabia poured out a fren-
zied fire with it's biggest land
guns, but the volume of the bonn,
bardment appeared to be INSULT,
cient to neutralize the insurgent
barrage.

SHOULD GENERALS BE DUMB?

Official Washington is witnessing one
of its greatest military explosions 'since
the blowing up of the Maine" General
Johnson Hagood was recently suspended
from active duty because he criticised the
waste of work-relief money before a Com
mittee of Congress. General Hagood beg
ged the Committee to let him 'use COM
nonsense to spend this money in the best
interests of the taxpayers. Under the ex-
listing methods he contended that he has
poured lot of money down rat holes,
while he had been unable to obtain funds
to provide decent housing for his men at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
One prominent columnist in Washing
ton comments: 1T is a plain warning to
everyone within the Administration to
keep his mouth shut and just goose-step
along. That may be a partisan state
ment, but the lambasting in Congress fol-
lowing Hagood's retirement has come from
members of all parties and the comments
are hot stuff. The Army may make a
martyr of General Hagood, who will be
worShipped as the successor of the late
General Billie Mitchell

THE HUNGRY BUREAUS

1t is a chronic condition that the work
OF government and state departments,
bureaus, commissions, boards and what
not are 'hampered for lack of sufficient
funds" according to to their reports.
We wonder what would happen if
each OF these Vulnerable tax-spending
agencies were given to the ideas of the
bureaucrats in charge of them. Our guess
is that half of the population would be or
Federal, state and local payrolls within a
year One person out of every ten is on
such payroll now.
One needs only to read one or two of
the current bureau reports which clamor
for more funds to get an idea of the crazy
research fads which are sought to be pro-
noted and extended. For example, the
WOmans Bureau lists a few of the "most
important" subjects which waiting
world is dying to have Investigated, as fol-
lows:
Surveys, studies and information con-
corning the employment of married wom-
en-; employment in plants using poisonous
piecework system; study of posture
while sitting at work; study of women in
professional and professional pur-
suits; the effect of fatigue or production
and on the worker; and, of course, an
elaborate preliminary investigation of the
best methods of making these investiga-
tiOnS These the bureau saws are only q
few of the great, vital problems. Dozens
of others should have prompt attention if
funds were available
Then the results would be printed in
great volumes perhaps, and that would be
the end of them. Of course, congressman
might read them in order to get ideas for
lot of new laws requiring still more thous-
andS of public officials and employees.
1t seems that no bureaucrat ever in
vestigates the effect of all this on the tax
payers pocketbOok.

KEY WEST MAIL SERVICE

We are assured that good mail serv-
ice will be provided for Key West until the
railroad is rebuilt according to the Second
Assistant Postmaster General. After that
let us hope it will be better But The Citi-
zen differs with the conclusion of the
postal department. The mail service at
the present tine certainly cannot be called
rood by any stretch of the imagination
Second class mail is absolutely unsatisfac-
tory at all tines. the newspapers and
periodicals coming to Key West are some
times five days old and come mainly by
boat nice week via Tampa. On Fridays
there is no incoming mail of any sort.
A Few dollars more added yearly to
the deficit of the postal department would
not hurt much more.
Why should not Key West, a city of
10000 inhabitants, have adequate mail
service?
This matter ought to be called to the
attention of our representatives in Con
greSS in vigorous terms.
