had been twenty-one million dollars.
Furthermore, the cost ts growing
dally. The glxantlc appropriations
now asked for will last only until No

a sensation, as It Indicated the cost
of the war is doubling every four
months.
"Our positions In Fraru-e and Flan
ders have been strengthened," Asquith
said, "and we have dispatched rein
forcements to the Dardanelles wher
our connected front extends over 12
miles. The Russians are retreating
but their retirement Is being conduct

The three officials will make ap
Inspection of the city some time early
next week to ascertain whether or
not there has been a general re
sponse to the edict. There la a city
ordinance requiring residents to keep
their premises clean and a penalty Is
provided In It for failure to fulfil the
provisions. If It is necessary to In
voke this penalty to accomplish the
desired results, Acting Mayor Dyer
declares It shall be done.
However, he believes there will be
the same liberal response this year
as In the past. Because of the fact
1 that the Round-up this year Is draw-

should be mode to make the city as
