PROGRAM IS ONE
OF SOME BILLIONS
■WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30—
The estimates of the shipping
board were tills afternoon sub
mitted to the House. They are upon
a most gigantic scale. They in
clude nine hundred and fifteen mil
lions over and above the original
amount asked for the fulfilment
-of the Shipping Hoard’s program.
M’Adoo presented them to the
House Committee.
Chairman Hurty, who has suc
ceeded Denman on the Board, esti
mates that the total estimates for
year will be one billion, three
hundred and seventy-five million,
seven hundred and fifteen thou
sand. This is for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 191S. Only four
hundred million has been appro
priated.
The estimates today call for the
commandeering of material and
ships if the government finds it
self confronted with a shortage.
This however is not taken into
consideration in the appropriations I
that will bo made.
While there is much less publicity
now being given the shipping pro
gram of the board, it is known
that the original program of con
struction etc has been greatly en
larged and extended. This exten
sion is due to the developments in
the shipping situation as well as a
better understanding of the imme
diate needs required by the war
situation, as time passes and the
emergencies not otherwise foreseen
arise.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 30—
The Russian Minister for Foreign
Affairs today cabled the Rus
sian Ambassador to the United
States to convey the message of
greetings, to President Wilson and
the people of the United States, and
to declare that the Wilson note to
the Russian people was read at the
convention of citizens and’ soldiers
and received with great cheering,
especially that portion which assert
ed that the United States and Rus
sia were fighitng for the same
were
ideals.
Accounts coming out of Russia
are by no means so optimistic as
could be desired. While the major
ity of the soldiers are now fighting
loyally to the government, almost
every day sees a regiment revolt.
There has been a general impair
ment of the Russian efficiency both
in the production of munitions and
in the fields of battle.
The lack of judicious command
ers in some instances is blamed and
that many of these fail to realize
that the change in the government
also materially affected their here
tofore autocratic authority is being
now realized with disastrous eonse
que nces.
Korniloff is devoting himself to
the difficult problems that have
arisen but it is doubtful that even
his wonderful organization genius
will be able to overcome the ob
stacles that lie in his way, at least
this year. It is possible that as
time passes things may
improve
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y„
Aug. 30.—The anti-militants

of business a resolution denounc
ing the picketting of the White
House was taken up and passed

rhe policy of the militants was
not strongly supported and came

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 30—
The work of remedying the de
fects in the Revenue Bill as it
came from the Senate Committee
is being rushed through the Sen
ate. The glaring failure to tax
excess profits is being proceeded
with. „
Especially was umbrage taken at
the styl > ol' the banners which the
militants picketting the White
House have been carrying.
An effort to pass a vote ol sym
pathy with those who have been
jailed and fined received little or
no support.
This convention marks the break
ing up of the suffrage party into
two distinct cliques or factions.
One of those believing in a mili
tar.oy alter the model of the Pank
hurst women and the otlier against
any such a policy but that only of
.'ri',n.lly persuasion.
In the latter party are almost all
th • ultra fashionables who do not
like what is termed the masculine
methods of the rest.
Arrests for picketting now in
Washington, notwithstanding the
severity of the sentences, are almost
a daily occurence.
