It means for his own people to be sub-

penditures ever submitted to a secretary of the treasury of the United
States In time of peace will be proavnted for the next fiscal year tomor-
row as required by law for discussion by congressional committees in ad-
vnnce of the regular session. They will be examined In detail by President
Wilson and his cabinet next week.
With an estimated Increase for nntlonal defense of about $150000000
over last year together with the cost of new tusks Imposed on the stats
depsriment and other branches of the government by reason of the Euro-
pean war It la probable the amount of expenditures will be augmentad to a
total or about 11240000000.

appropriates each year ror only mm third

Under one plan. Uie navy could build two
dreadnoughts two battle cruisers 6 de-
stroyers n submarines or the const type
and three or the ocean-going variety a few
scout cruisers a gunboat a riui ship and
a hospital ship. This proposal lias mi l with
objection because If It Is to be part or a

ihe acqiilsitii n or 18 capital -him in all ap-
propriations in the first three years would
mount on an ascending scale.
This would shirt much or the burdtti on

The alU'rnailve plan calls for authoriza-

two dreadnoughts snd one baltlo cruiser the

This plan Is commenced by the general

that the battle cruisers should be 111 serv-
