(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Congress
was informed by Secretary McAdoo in
his annual report that $5,128,203,793
must be provided in addition to funds
from taxes and bond 'jsues already
authorized in order to make estimat
ed receipts for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1918 equal disbursments. If
this deficit is met by a new issue of
bonds, the total amount of securities
to be issued in the next seven months
is estimated at $9,969,433,850.
For the next fiscal yeaj^. ending
June 30, 1919, the estimated excess
of disbursements over receipts is $7,
627,973,980.
Huge war expenses and loans to
America’s allies at the rate of a half
billion dollars a month have made
: these estimates many times larger
than any ever presented in a secre
tary of the treasury's annual report.
Of the $12,316,000,000 estimated or
dinary expenditures for the year end
ing next June 30, $11,527,000,000 is
for war purposes, and the proportion
is about the same for the fiscal year
ending in 1919.
So far the nation has borne the
financial burdens of the war well,
says Secretary McAdoo, owing to
healthy business conditions, anj/ the
valuable aid of the established federal
reserve system. In the future, how
ever, increasingly greater habits of
economy must be developed by indi
viduals and business institutions, the
secretary declares, and "business as
usual” cannot be adopted as the guid
save and invest in government seeur
J ing principle of the war. People must
save and invest in government secur
i ities to avoid postponing victory.
With this admonition, Mr. McAdoo
proceds to cite the enormous figures
of government receipts and expendi
tures which are the fruit of war
times
Total estimated receipts for the
j current fiscal year are $12,580,732,
800, which, with a balance in the
treasury last June of $1,066,983,361,
makes a total of $13,647,716,161. Most
■ of the receipts, or $8,686,000,000, are
from sale of bonds and war saving
certificates; ordinary receipts are $3,
886,000,000, largely from war taxes
and the Panama Canal income is $7,
000,000.
Ordinary disbursements are es
timated at $12,316,295,223; loans to
allies in the year at $6,115,000,000;
public debt disbursements at $321,
000.000; and Panama Canal expenses,
^23.593,000;' making total estimated
disbursements $18,775,919,915.
] In order to allow for a balance in
the general fund of about $500,000,000
next June 30, congress must author
! ize raising of about $5,640,000,000 ad
j ditional funds. This figure, together
with the $3,666,000,000 of authorized
but unissued Liberty Bonds, and $663,
000.000 estimated receipts from war
savings, make the $9,969,000,000 which
Mr. McAdoo believes Americans must
. loan the government between now and
June 30, 1918.
For the next fiscal year, ending
I
June 30, 1919, the secretary estimat
I ed receipts at $5,176,000,000, and dis
bursements at $12,804,034,440, exclu
sive of allied loans. This makes a
$7,627,000,000 excess of disburse
ments. If the present rate of loans
, to ^allies is continued in the 1918-19
' fiscal year, $6,000,00.000 additional
would be required. Estimated inter
est on bonds to bo issued that year
is $383,000,000!* and estimated ex
pense of floating the bond issues $28,
000,000.
Thus if the deficit is to be met by
bonds. $14,040,000,000 worth must be
floated between July 1, 1918 and June
30, 1919, in addition to receipts from
war savings.
“While these figures represent the
situation as it appears today,” the
secretary says, "it should be borne in
mind that the exigencies of the future
may cause changes, particularly with
regard to the estimates for the war
and navy departments." The estim
ates on which the secretary bases his
figures are made by the various gov-1
ernment departments.
The outstanding fact apparent from
these stupendous figures is that the
cost of the war to the American peo
ple, including allied loans, for the two
years ending June 30, 1919, will be at
least $30,000,000,000.
DAWSON, Y. T„ Dec. 8.—What
seems to be a definite indication of
the fate of Hubert Darrell, well known
Arctic explorer and former Klondike
miner and prospector, was secured
recently on the Arctic coast by Bish
op Stringer. Darrell had traveled,
trapped and mined in and about Daw
son for years before going to the Mac
kenzie valley. The traces of him
weie in the Vicinity of Anderson rH
er, eastward from the Mackenzie.
Two or three years ago natives
brought in word that they had found
an inscription on a tree in that local
ity which they took to be his farwell
message. Bishop Stringer this sum
mer met the natives who saw the in
scription and had them show him a
copy. They could not read English,
but had made a copy of the letters as
well as they could. The bishop re
*
ports that he learned that a camera
and other equipment were found
which would indicate that Darrell
perished after the inscription was
written and that at the time of the
writing he man was in no danger.
Darrell is supposed to have per
ished in the winter of 1910 or 1911
' Bishop Stringer spent many hours
with the natives who saw' him alive
He had his camp on the Andersoi
river, ten or fifteen mile from the
camp of the Eskimos, whom he visit
ed for the last time about Novembei
15, 1910. In the following spring t
visiting Eskimo found Darrell had
left his camp, and on a tree he madt
a copy of the following inscription:
, 1910
Got frozen 112
October 4th r
v
Leave here •
today November 24
West ward v
For Mackenzie 16
River
Hubert Darrell
Bishop Stringer interprets this tc
read: “1910. Goj frozen in Oct 4th
Leave here today November 24 west
ward for Mackenzie river.’’ Darrell
left his camp and was never seen
again. In March, 1916, an Eskimo
found his camera and some other ar
ticles in a cache fifty miles away, and
signs of a camp, but the explorer's
body was not found.
