WASHINGTON, April 5. Congress
was asked today to provide immedi
ately $3,502,517,000 to finance the
war for one year, approximately as
follows :
For the War Department, $2,952,
537,933.
For increasing the authorized
strength of the Navy to 150,000 and
the Marine Corps to 30,000 men, $175,
855,762.
For other necessary expenditures
for the naval establishments, at the
direction and discretion of the Presi
dent, $292,538,790, and
For the Coast Guard, so that it may
perfect and bring to a high state of
efficiency its telephone system of
coastal communication, $600,000.
New Tax Method Likely. ,
A bond issue, increased taxation, in
cluding higher taxes on estates and
large incomes, whisky, beer, tobacco
and new methods of taxation proba
bly will be resorted to to raise the
huge amount.
Unofficial estimates to the Federal
Reserve Board are that the banks of
the Federal Reserve system are in a
position to absorb up to $2,000,000,000
of war bonds at once at a rate of in
terest not exceeding ZA per cent.
Secretary McAdoo authorized the
statement that he thought the Gov
ernment would have no difficulty in
raising the necessary finances, put de
clined to indicate the probable meth
ods that would be adopted.
The estimates calling for the ap
propriation of money for carrying on
the war were couched in general terms
and lacking m details.
The great total does not include
possible loans to the allies, part of
the Administration's programme, as
outlined in President Wilson's address
to Congress, and demands upon the
country's finances will be increased by
whatever amount it is decided to place
at the disposal of the entente gpvern
ments. Secretary McAdoo, into whose
hands will be placed the task of sug
gesting methods for raising large
sums by increased taxation, so that
the war may be paid for, as far - as
possible, during its lifetime, said to
night he had received many sugges
tions from banks and others and was
investigating every phase of the sit
uation. John Skelton Williams, Controller
of the Currency, is in New York to
consult with bankers there, it is un
derstood, regarding the proposed bond
issue.
Leaders to Be Consulted.
Mr. McAdoo expects to have fre
quent conferences with leaders of the
House and Senate, during which an
attempt will be made to place propos
als in concrete shape, so that they
may be considered by Congress.
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the appro
priations committee, said tonight that
no plan of action would be formulated
until the committee could consider the
estimates and reasons for making the
appropriations.
Chairman Simmons, of the Senate
finance committee, intimated that
short-term notes might be issued to
a limited extent to make immediately
available a portion of the sum de
sired.
Representative Ralney. of IllinolH
ranking majority member of the Ways
ana xvi t-1 1 1 m ommuiee, wnich will have
,the financial say In drafting- the war
revenue bill before Its presentation to
the House, declared tonight that the
Income tax probably would be amended
so as to furnish the Government with
greatly Increased revenues during the
war.
"My view Is," he said, "that while the
war lasts no man should enjoy an in
come of more than $75.000 or $100,000 a

year and that tne Government should
take all over this amount. We could
obtain, also, $200,000,000 additional
yearly by raising taxes on whisky and
beer to a level with what they were
taxed in England before the war start
ed.
"The excess profits tax, now In force.
must be graduated, making it heaviest
on largest profits. The tariff is impos
sible as a source of revenue during the
war."
Lowering of the income tax ememp
tlon to $2000. and possibly to $1500, are
among the proposals under considera
tion. What such action would mean,
one official said today. In actual rev
enue could not be forecast, even ap
proximately, because of lack of infor
mation upon which to base an estimate.
A conservative view was that the pres
ent rate of taxation would add $100,
000,000 to the Government's revenues
by lowering the exemption to $2000;
some officials thought that the returns
would be doubled, bringing the total to
approximately $650,000,000.
Proposals under consideration to in
crease the Federal tax on estates up to
40 per cent on very large estates would
swell the Government's revenues, if
adopted, by hundreds of millions.
The International revenue bureau of
the Treasury Department is collecting
revenue, under peace taxes, at the rate
of $750,000,000 annually. This sum
could be doubled or Increased by $1,
000,000,000 by moderate Increases in
the tax rates on whisky, beer and to
bacco, the lowering of the income tax
exemption to $2000, a graduated excess
profits tax. increased taxes on estates
and greatly increased taxation on
large Incomes. Through this channel
alone, it was thought, approximately
$1,000,000,000 annually might be raised
for carrying on the war.
The country's finances were never
before so strongly intrenched as at
present, Mr. McAdoo said. Indications
are that the interest rate on whatever
bonds are Issued will not exceed 3Vi
per cent and may be as lew as 3 per
cent.
. There will be little difficulty. In the
opinion of officials. In obtaining all
the money needed by popular subscrip
tion. A large proportion of the bond issue.
It was indicated, might be handled
through the Federal Reserve Board.
The 7500 banks of the Federal Re
serve system with their $16,000,000,000
in resources would. It was thought, be
abundantly able, if necessary, to take
care of one entire year's financing
alone without undue strain.
The Federal Reserve system, it was
pointed out, represents only one-quarter,
approximately, of the total number
of banks and banking Institutions in
the country. The capacity of the
banks of the country alone to absorb a
bond issue would run far above the
$3,500,000,000 required for the year.

DEAD OF RUSSIAN
REVOLUTION
BUR D
Tremendous Cortege Makes
Somber Demonstration
in Petrograd.
180 LAID IN ONE GRAVE
A.H Organizations Participating
in
Revolt Represented In Procession
Red-Draped Coffins Lowered
as Big Guns Salute.
PETROGRAD, via London. April 5.
The victims of the revolution were
solemnly buried today in the historic
Field of Mars. As the coffins, draped
in scarlet banting, were lowered one by
one Into the tremendous grave that had
been dug in a corner of the field, a
series of salutes one for each victim
boomed across the ice-bound Neva, from
the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul,
where the last ministers of the fallen
empire are confined. Regimental bands
flanked the square field and thousands
of persons, with bared heads, Joined in
a mass for the revolutionary dead.
The somber aspect of the city was
relieved by innumerable flags and
streamers of flaming red, some few of
which were edged with Dlack bands of
mournine. Banners of every descrip
tion bearins the familiar devices of the
new republic were carried by each unit-
in the procession which assembled from
every quarter of the city to march to
the burial ground. Each column bore
the bodies of victims who had lived in
their district of the city.
Spectators Are Few,
The tremendous funeral cortege
wound its way through a city almost
empty of spectators. Virtually every
woman and every child who was able to
walk marched in the procession. Per
fect order prevailed.
Except for the muffled tolling or tne
church bells, the dirges played by the
military bands, and the slow, melan
choly chants, the procession proceeded
in complete silence. Stores were closed
and all traffic ceased.
One hundred soldiers from each regi
ment engaged In the revolution took
part in the procession. The famous
Volynskl guards, Pavlovsk and Grena
dier regiments, machine gun regiments.
pontoon battalions and marines were
all represented. But the major part of
the parade was made up of civilians
who had carefully organized themselves
into marching units.
f Girl Students In Line. -
The girl students from the universi
ties formed an enormous brigade which
marched down the Nevsky Prospect at
the side of a company of worklngmen
and were followed by long columns of
peasant women and servants with de
tachments of officers and soldiers
bringing up the rear.
The same spirit or quiet reverence
dominated all as they united in the
same mournful songs and strode side
by side to the burial of the killed.
Filled with the memory of tne recent
struggle, but Inspired with new hope.
it was a strange army of pale-faced,
black-garbed people.
One after another .the columns, bear
ing scarlet coffins, reached the burial
ground. Each stopped a moment while
the burial ceremony was taking rlace
and then passed on in silence over the
Trosky bridge.
Early in the afternoon the last group
reached the field and 180 bodies had
been Interred.
MEXICAN TROOPS MOVING
(Continued From First Pafpe.)
establish a submarine base in a Mex
ican port, supply Mexico with unlim
ited quantities of arms and ammuni
tion and send German reservists in
the United States to Mexico.
Germans Drill Villistas,
Representative Miller further said
he understood three German schoon
ers had landed on the western coast
of Mexico and that Villa was sur
rounded by German officers, who had
taken charge of the drilling of his
men. Reliable information, he said,
also was that the Carranza army was
"not much better.
The unpublished portion of the
Zimmermann note Miller quoted as
follows:
"Agreeable to the Mexican govern
ment submarine bases will be estab
lished at Mexican ports, from which
will be supplied arms, ammunition
and supplies. All reservists are or
dered into Mexico. Arrange to at
tack all along the border."
It has been understood, but never
officially announced, that the full text
of the Zimmermann instructions to
German Minister von Eckhardt was
not published with the main portion,
which revealed the attempt to ally
Mexico and Japan in war against the
United States. Members of the for
eign affairs committee in Congress,
however, had been supplied with the
full text and with other evidences of
German intrigues against this Gov
ernment. When Representative Miller's" quo
tation was submitted to Secretary
Lansing, however, the Secretary of
State declared the Zimmermann in
structions "contained nothing of the
sort."
Denial Causes Surprise.
Representative Miller -expressed
surprise when told that Secretary
Lansing denied that there was any
hing like the quotation in the Zim
mermann note. Mr. Miller said there
was a reason for not making it pub
lic at first, but that there was no
reason to suppress it now.
"I believe the quotation is abso
lutely correct," he added. "I got it
from a man who is in a position to
know. He gave it to me as a matter
of conscientious duty.. That man is
one of the highest-grade and honor
able men I know. Otherwise I would
not have been justified in giving that
unpublished portion of the note."
The Zimmermann instructions to
Von Eckhart , transmitted through
Count von Bernstorff, then German
Ambassador here, were first revealed
by the Associated Press on Febru
ary 28.
Dated more than 10 days before the

was even then conspiring that the
United States would no longer remain
neutral, and proposed to Mexico an
alliance with Japan to attack the
United States. Mexico's part of ber
reward was to regain "lost provinces'.'
In Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
Foreign Minister Zimmermann ac
knowledged the authenticity of the In
structions, but maintained they never
had been delivered to Carranza. Since
the disclosure there have been many
reports of German reservists going into
Mexico and there have been other evi
dences of German machinations to
make trouble there for the United
States If Bhe entered the war.
EDISOX SECRETLY AT WORK
Science, Aviation, Women, All
Classes Offer Aid.
The extent to which science has
come to the aid of the Government,
providing new means of warfare and
systematizing the naval and military
establishment, will not become appar
ent until there are actual hostilities.
Since Secretary Daniels organized the
naval consulting board months age
important experiments have been un
der way in the Interest of National de
fense and it is known that recently
Thomas A- Edison had personally given
much attention to secret tests of a na
ture carefully guarded.
The Red Cross is prepared at short
notice, its officials say. to establish
hospital bases to care for an army of
1,000,000 men. The bureau of mines
has opened its first-aid course to thou
sands of wives and daughters of min
ers. With the aid of Sir Herbert B.
Ames, ore-anizer of the Canadian patri
otic fund, the Navy League is organiz
ing a fund of S10.000.000 for the fami
lies of naval volunteers.
Theodore N. Vail, of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company, has
assured the Defense Council that the
wire facilities of the company are at
the Government's service, and plans
are ready for taking them "over.
Rear-Admiral .Peary has offered the
services of the National Aerial Coast
Patrol Commission, the Aero Club of
America its equipped station at Port
Washington, and the leading airship
manufacturers
their co-operation in
hastening construction of Army and
Navy planes and dirigibles. The Na
tional Foregn Trade Council and the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States are helping co-ordinate commer
cial resources for defense, and tne
Associated Advertising Clubs, the Ad
vertisers' Association are aiding in
Government advertising in the recruit
ing campaign.
From nine leading women s colleges
has come a united pledge of public
service. The National Woman Suf
frage Association is organizing clubs
to train women in agricultural work to
provide employment and teach loyalty
to immigrants. Women who can take
the places of men in factories and
other Industries are being enrolled by
the National League for Woman s
Service and the National Council or
Women. In every state an active cam
paign to aid recruiting is. being carried
on by the National committee of patri
otic societies, whose membership in
cludes the Daughters of the American
Revolution, the National Civic Associa
tion, the Bov Scouts of America, tne
Army League and the Navy League.
From the Governors of most OI tne
states have come fullest assurances of
state aid. The patriotic awakening
has swept every corner of the Nation.
It is the awakening of Americanism.
which the President has told his friends
and advisers he prizes above all the
other assets of National defense.
PENFIELD WILL RETURN
REtiATIOXS WITH AUSTRIA. Hon -
EVER, ARE NOT SEVERED.
War Not to Be Declare on Turkey or
Bulgaria Unless Such Action la
Forced By Them.
, WASHINGTON, April 6. The United
States will not sever relations or de
clare war with Austria, Bulgaria or
Turkey, so long as those countries do
not force such a step. It was learned
authoritatively today.
Nevertheless, It is expected, here that
Germany will force her allies to share
her relationship to the United States.
Ambassador Penfield's . summons to
Washington by the State Department,
admitted officially today, for the first
time, is declared not to forecast ar
gresslve action toward Austria by this
country, but to be for entirely differ
ent reasons.
The one most often suggested is that,
as President Wilson has announced, it
is impossible under the present clrcum
stances to receive Count Tarnow Tar
nowsky, new Austrian Ambassador,
and it is desired not to have an Amen
can Ambassador in Vienna. Joseph C.
Grew, formerly charge In Berlin, will
act as charge in Vienna after Mr. Pen
field's departure tomorrow.
COPENHAGEN, via London, April 5.
The expectation that Austria-Hungary
and Turkey will remain neutral
for the present at least in the conflict
of Germany with the United States
prevails In diplomatic circles here. The
Associated Press is informed from un
questioned Bourses that that is the in
tention and desire of the two govern
ments, if left to themselves, but that tf
Germany insists upon their fulfilling
the full measure of the alliance and
making absolutely common cause with
the senior partner, they will have to
yield and formally declare war.
