T0TAU842,000,000
President to Tell Plans
November 4.
EXPENDITURE CGVERS 5 YEARS
Half Billion to Be Asked for
Building and Manning Navy.
NEW FORTS ARE PROPOSED
Goal Is Navy Headed by 43 Dreaa-
noughts and Super-Battle Cruis
ers and Trained Army of
1,200,000 Men, All Told.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. A National
programme that probably means an ex
penditure on the Army and Navy of
upwards of a billion dollars In the
next six years will be laid before the
people by President WIlHon November
4. when he goes to New Tork to make
his first public address since the scope
of the policy upon .which . his Admin
istration has embarked became known.
The President will speak before the
Manhattan Club of New Tork on Na
tional defense and the reasons which
have impelled him to approve plans to
about double the Navy and quadruple
the trained , fighting , forces ashore
within a few years.
Great Expenditure Expected.
With the estimates of the War and
Navy Departments submitted for th
coming year, the breadth of the Ad
ministration's policy as to prepared
ness Is being: realized. It-shapes in
totals as follows:
Navy, for new ships and Increased
personnel in five years, $500,000,000.
Army, for reserve, material (arms
and ammunition) within four , years,
J105.000.000. ,
For new coast defenses and modern.
ixation of old forts within four years,
$1,000,000.
For the new continental -army and
the proposed Increase in the regular
Army, $26,000,000. (This amount prob
ably will be a continuing- and if any
thing increasing appropriation through
the first six in period, which would
make the total expenditure at that
time, $156,000,000).
Grand Total Is S42,0OO,0OO.
The grand total expenditure thus
actually planned would be JS42.OO0.00O.
According to plans laid out by ex
perts of the Navy and War Depart
ments, .these expenditures would pro
duce by 1925, a first line of dread
noughts and battle cruisers numbering
43; a fleet of coast defense submarines
that would fringe the Atlantic and Pa
cific Coasts with an almost solid line
of defense against attack; a fleet of
nearly 175 destroyers and squadrons of
huge sea-going submarines to operate
with the battle squadrons at great dis
tance from shore.
For the Army there would be at the
end of six years a trained force of
1.210.000 men, including a regular Army
of 140,000 and the proposed conti
nental" army and reserves; a ring of
fully-manned coast defenses, equipped
with the largest and most powerful guns
yet built and a vast reserve of field
guns, machine guns, howitzers and big
gun ammunition.
Munitions Are AtMnred.
In addition, the enormously increased
capacity of privute munition plants
would give assurances of ample sup
plies of small arms and field gun am
munition. m
A definite step toward enlarging the
Navy was taken today when contracts
were awarded for 22 of the fighting
craft authorized by the last Congress.
They are six big cruiser destroyers, 30
knot boats each, to carry 12 torpedo
tubes, four four-inch guns and two
three-inch anti-aircraft guns, and 16
coast-defense submarines, each displac
ing more than 550 tons, and each
equipped with a. three-inch disappear
ing rlflo for surface fighting. The day
set a new record for the department In
the number of contracts awarded.
VOrt to Be nnilt.
Neither War nor Navy Department
estimates for tho coming year have
been made public, as yet, in detail. It
was learned today, however, that of the
$72,000,000 increase over last year's bill
to be asked by the War Department,
$4 6,000,000 would go toward reserve
material and coast defense work, the
remaining $26,000,000 to be used in
building up the new- armies, regular
and continental. Part of this $16,000.
000 would go into building, and arming
the new forts which will guard the en
trance to Chesapeake Bay.
It is proposed to spend more of the
money in building new forts to guard
New York, San Francisco and other
great harbors from attack. Gigantic
16-irwh rifles Will be mounted In all
these defenses of the first-class, where
enemy craft with modern guns would
be dangerous from great distance.
Another expenditure contemplated is
for fitting the present 12 and 14-inch
rifles with carriages that will give
them greater range. Much already has
been accomplished in that way and the
work will be carried on until every
fort is modernized.
Smaller Ghi to Remain.
No 16-inch rifles will be Installed In
place of smaller guns, however. It Is
said, because to make all the changes
in magazines, hoists machinery and the
like would be more expensive and less

victim of the Lusitania tn a Holyoke
church to bear the Inscription, "Who

(War correspondent of the Chicago Tribune.
Copyrizht, 1915. by the Chicago Tribune.
Published by arrangement.)
SOCHACZEW, Russia. Sept. 15. All
day long I have been keeping pace with
the slow-moving carts of the returning
refugees. There are miles of them
on the wide highways. I suppose you
could say that the whole countryside
for 40 miles west of Warsaw and 100
miles to the east is streaming witn
them.
From Lqwicz to Brest-Litowsfc and
that is more than 100 miles there is
not a main road that you could ride
along for half an. hour without seeing
the white wagon hoods rocking and
swaying on the anxious homeward way.
Peasants Struggle Back.
An extra wheel or two is lushed to
the back of each wagon and usually
the driver has not beeu out many hours
before he is right glad to have it. If
a peasant can afford it he takes an ex
tra horse along, too. and sometimes
he needs it desperately, for once in a
while we see lying by the roadside a
dead horse .that tho poor farmer had
to cut from the traces. ,
As soon as the fighting rolls forward
and all except thj londsturm troops
left to guard raitroads-and bridges
are out of a region, the peasants come
straggling home.
And they not only do that, but they
also manage to keep cheerful and civil.
Since August a year ago soldiers have
taught me many a humbling lesson on
doing a day's work quietly and not
looking forward to a meal at a fixed
hour, as if it were something the world,
were obliged to bring one on a tray.
and not whining if in the course of
mischance or confusion no meal at all
is to be had.
Children Are Patient, 'loo.
But I believe the refugees of these
war days tea h one even more. When
darkness began to fall this evening
tney urew tneir wagons a little off the
road and the women, who were stiff
with cold and weariness, swung them
selves down from the mountains of
household goods on which they had
been riding all day and the men who
had been driving since dawn went
methodically about unhitching their
tired beasts. The patient, snub-nosed.

British Cabinet. ,
NEAR EAST-rlS CAUSE
Attorney-General Disapproves
Policy in Balkans.
GOVERNMENT FACES FIGHT
Withdrawal of Clster Leader, Who
Opposes Plan or Confiding Policy
to Small "Inner Cabinet," May
Precipitate Lively Debates.
LONDON, Oct. IS. nSir Edward Car
son, Attorney-General, has resigned
from the British Cabinet.
The resignation of Sir Edward, the
first open manifestation cf the diver
gence of views known to exist among
the Ministers, is the result, according
to an authoritative statement, not of
the controversy over conscription, but
of the condition of affairs in the Near
East.
Sir Edward himself, eo far. has mado
no personal explanation of his reasons
for resigning, but it is understood that
he disapproved of the policy - which is
being followed in the Balkans and tho
method of confiding the whole national
policy to a small "inner cabinet."
Kxrltlnic Debates Expected.
It is expected that there will be ex
citing debates in the House of Com
mons this week, as severe attacks on
the government are planned by mem
bers of the House in connection witn
the general military policy, especially
in the Near East.
Sir Edward, prior to the outbreak
of -the war, was the leader of the
movement against home rule for Ire
land, which for a timer threatened civil
war-In Ulster County.; At that time
he was the Conservative member of
Parliament for Dublin University, and
gained great notoriety for his speech
attacking the government, and the
sympathizers of home rule and threat
ening, in case the King signed th
home-rule bill, to aid in setting up a
provisional government in Ulster.
Appointment Cause of Cemure.
He was the first to sign the covenant
of resistance to home rule, and led
the Ulsterites in the formation of the
Ulster volunteers.
Vhen the present coalition govern
ment was framed last May the portfolio
of Attorney-General was given to Sir
Edward. Some of the English news
papers expressed the view that this ap
pointment was a mistake In view of his
previous antagonism to the govern
ment. The most notable cases with which
Sir Edward has had to deal' since his
incumbency of the Attorney-Generalship
were the Board of Trade's Inquiry
into the sinking of the Lusitania and
the proceedings before the prize court

Monday's War Mo?es
THE reports that the allies have oc
cupied Strumnitza and landed at
Enos. which was recently transferred
from Turkish to Bulgarian rule,- has
caused a more optimistic feeling
through the allied countries.
As to the progress of the near
eastern campaign, it Is known from
both Serbian and German accounts
that Field Marshal von Mackensen's
army is meeting with greater resist
ance than was expected and. although
it is probable that the Serbians event
ually must fall back on stronger
strategical positions In the north, the
fact that the allies are bringing heavy
forces against the Bulgarians, and so
placing them that the Bulgarians will
be compelled to divide their armies,
gives hope here that the Germans may
be balked in their latest attempt to
reach the sea and bring assistance to
the Turks.
All along the Serbians and their
Montenegrin neighbors, who also are
being attacked, are offering stubborn
resistance to both Austro-Germans and
Bulgarians, and while they have given
up a number of towns and positions,
they have not reached the line on which
they expect to make their stand.
The Bulgarians, so far as can be
learned, have made progress only in the
Zlotokopski Valley, near the river
Morava, north ft the town of Vranya,
where they blew up a bridge. There
is no confirmation, however, of the
report that they cut the railway in this
district, the bridge which they de
stroyed being a wooden one near the
railway. The Bulgarian force which
penetrated the valley Is not a large
one.
On the other hand, it Is pointed out.
the capture of Strumnitza is of real
strategetlc value, as its occupation per
mits the defense oft he southern end
of the railway and compels the Bul
garians to keep a force there. Enos,
too, is of value,, as although not a good
landing place, its occupation threatens
Dedeagachw hich has a great harbor
and is fortified and mined. The ci
vilian population has already left
Dedeagach. wh.ch is entirely In the
hands of the military, under German
officers.
The Italians, according to the latest
reports, will not send a contingent to
the Balkans, but co-operation of their
navy in the Aegaen where an allied
fleet has already -gathered, is -looked
for.
The point at which the Russians
will strike has not yet been disclosed.
the expectation Is. however, that the
allies have a surprise tor the central
powers and that steps are being taken
to bring Turkey to her knees before
assistance can reach her.
There has been plenty of heavy fight
ing on both the eastern and western
fronts, but in neither case has either
side attempted a general offensive.
The Germans are still making a great
effort between Riga and Dvinsk and
have met with some minor successes.
but thence to the Roumanian border,
wherever there has been any fighting
it Is the Russians who are attacking,
and they, too, claim some gains.
Much the same conditions prevail
on the western front. The British
have been attacking east of Vermelles,
according to the Berlin report, while
the Germans attacked the French near
Souchez and the French took the of
fensive in Champagne, Lorraine and
Vosges. .None of these attempts is
making any marked alterations in the
positions of the armies.

DIECK BUDGET DUE TODAY
Promised Cut in AVorkcrs of Water
Bureau Not Apparent, but Mcu
Are Switched Around In Way
That Puzzles Committee.
The antl-saiary-Increase programme
which has been carried out faithfully
to date by the Council sitting as budget
committee, was smashed to smither
eens yesterday when Commissioner
Daly deserted his compatriots Baker
and Bigelow and voted for Increases
in his own department. A number of
salary increases were allowed In Mr.
Daly's water bureau by vote of Mr.
Daly, Mayor Albee and Commissioner
Dleck. Up to this time Mr. Daly had
stood with Mr. Baker and Mr. Bigelow
against salary increases in other de
partments. Seven pump engineers were raised
from $95 a month to $100 a month and
Increases were granted various others,
including one or two of the 21 inspec
tors, clerks and mechanics. One pump
engineer was cut out on Mr. Daly's
motion and the amount saved from this
and $420 in addition was shifted over
as Increased salary to the remaining
seven.
One Cook Decreased.
One lone cook suffered a salary de
crease the first cut of this kind so far
made by the budget committee. He
was getting a salary of $65 a month
and was trimmed to $60 a month.
At the outset it looked as though
many men were to be cut out of the
water bureau forces, but It was found
after looking Into the figures that there
were no reductions from the present
staff. Classifications and titles of
present employes were shifted about
and interwoven in -arious ways with
salary Increases, so that in summing
up the whole budget the number of
employes remained about the same.
Explanation Is Hequlred.
"It's like the traveling man's suit of
clothes." said Mayor Albee. "It doesn't
show in the expense account, but it !s
there just the same. Mr. Daly was
asked to explain the apparent mlxup,
and after he showed how the changes
had been made he was asked to send
his budget for employes back -for re
vision, showing exactly the changes.
Clerks were put to the task of straight
ening the budget out preparatory to
Its being reconsidered today.
Commissioner Baker hurled a couple
of broadsides at the plan of sending
out bills to flat-rate water users. "The
flat-rate users know when their bills
are due and they know what the
amount is, don't they?" risked Mr.
Baker.
Inspectors to Be Discussed.
"It Is economy," said Mr. Daly. "You
can't have economy by making the con
sumers come In and pay their bills be
cause it Involves much clerical work."
Mr. Baker also questioned the need
of so many water inspectors. These
Items of bills and inspectors Drobably
will be the subject of more discussion
at today's meeting.
The salary Increase proposition came
up at the start when increases were
provided in the budget for some of the
clerks and inspectors.
"Isn't it just as bad for us to Increase
salaries in this bureau as in the
others?" asked Commissioner Baker.
Work Is Praised.
"You will find that the men In the
water bureau have accomplished a
great deal and they are entitled to con
sideration." said Mr. Daly.
'It seems to me that the same thing
is true of other bureaus." said Mr.
Baker.
"Let's wait until next year and then
we can treat them all alike," suggested
Mr. Bigelow.
"It's a hard proposition to explain to
the people in other departments when
their increases are refused." said Mr.
Baker.
Mr. Bigelow made a motion that the
increase be denied. The motion failed.
Mayor Albee and Commissioners Dieck
and Daly voted against the motion and
Commissioners Baker and Bigelow
for it.
Mr. Baker Is Satirical.
'Nothing left for us, Bigelow, but to
sit around and look wise. I guess," said
Commissioner Baker after this action
had been taken.
Commissioner Dieck raised a question
about Mr. Daly continuing the services
of two engineers one at $200 a month
and another at $250 a -month. These
men originally were appointed for spe
cial work.
These men," said Mr. Daly, "are
doing Investigating in the Bull Run re
serve and have charge of considerable
construction. They are gathering
figures for use if the city ever has
to fight before Congress to keep the
Federal Government from taking away
some of the reserve."
"Are there any strings on the reser
vation?" asked Mr. Baker.
