Sir Edward Grey Discusses Balkans
In Commons, But Throws No
Light On Saloniki Ex
pedition. London. Bulgaria, by formally de
claring war against Serbia, became
the twelfth nation to engage In the
great European conflict.
The ostensible Immediate cause of
the declaration, according to the
statement of the Bulgarian Minister
at Athens to the Creek Government
was an attack by a Serbian column on
the Bulgarians near Kostendil, South
west Bulgaria, when 70 mcu were
killed and COO wounded.
Sir Edward Grey, the British For
eign Secretary, made a long statement
In the House of Commons on the sit
uation in the Balkans, but as he dealt
with the diplomatic side of the ques
tion, he added little to the knowledge
of the public and failed to satisfy
curiosity as to the progress of the
Anglo-French expedition landed at
Saloniki. He did say. however, that
Russian troops would co-operate "as
soon as they were available."
Expects Italy To Aid Serbia.
The French Premier. M. Vlvlanl.
had more cheering news for the allied
countries when, In the French Senate,
he expressed the belief that "the Al
lies can count on Italian co-operation
In the Balkans."
These diplomatic questions are not
delaying the military operations. The
Austro-German and Bulgarian attacks
on Serbia are proceeding apace.
It Is reported also that the Allies
have begun an offensive In the Dar
danelles to keep the Turks busy.
The Russians are continuing their
attacks In Gallcia in an effort to clear
the Austrians from the Roumanian
frontier and prevent them from send
ing any further reinforcements against
Serbia.
Attack On All German Fronts.
In fact, there appears to be a gen
eral attack on all the German fronts.
The British and French", Berlin Btates,
have attacked in Flanders and Cham
pagne, while the German official re
port of the campaign in Russia Is a
record of counter-attacks against the
Russians, who are endeavoring to re
gain the Initiative.
Even the Belgian coast is not ex
cepted, British monitors having again
been bombarding the German posi
tions along this coast.

government, through the Swedish
Minister at London, who Is In charge
of Bulgarian interests, that a state of
war exists between Great Britain and
Bulgaria.

TO DECIDE FORM OF AVOWAL
Notification Of Recognition Of Car

ernment To Go Through
Arredondo.
Washington. Secretary Lansing
will call a conference this week of the
Pan-American diplomats to arrange
the form In which recognition Is to be
extended to the de facto government
led by General Carranza.
Although formal responses have not
yet been received by the Brazilian and
Chilean ambassadors here to the re
ports sent to their governments last
week, after the decision to recognlz
Carranza, informal assurances were
given In advance of the conference to
diplomatic representatives of the
I'nited States in Santiago and Rio
de Janeiro that Chile and Brazil were
in accord with the policy of the Wash
ington government.
As soon as woi. Is received In a
formal manner through the Brazilian
and Chilean ambassadors here the
meeting of the Pan-American confer
ence will be called. The Argentine
Ambassador and the Uruguayan Min
ister saw Secretary Lansing. Both
had received Instructions to adopt the
same form In recognition as the
I'nited States does. The Bolivian and
Guatemalan ministers, the remaining
members of the conference, have had
similar instructions. Although not a
member of the conference, the Vene
zuelan Minister, together with other
diplomatic representatives, has been
instructed to take identical action with
the United States.
The formal act of recognition prob
ably will occur this week with the
reception of Eliseo Arredondo, author
ized representative of General Car
ranza. A note very likely will be pre
sented to him notifying him of the
recognition of General Carranza as the
head of the de facto government.

KEEL LAID FOR
ELECTRIC WARSHIP
Daniels Says the California
Marks New Epoch.
THE GREATEST ADVANCE
Secretary Of the Navy Declares Be
ginning Of Work On Dreadnought
Propelled By Electricity Puts
the United States Ahead.
New York. The keel of the $15,
000,000 super-dreadnought California

vanced step taken In naval engineer
ing in many years.
The super-dreadnought will be the
first large new war vessel to be pro
pelled entirely by electricity. Secretary

veloped. Besides Secretary Daniels and sev
eral members of the Naval Advisory
Board, more than 1,000 persons saw
Commander George II. Rock, chief of
construction nt the yard, guide the
two center plates and the key plate
Into position. He riveted them with
four nickel-plated bolts. Workmen

Increased Budget Due To Plans For
Army and Navy Expansion
and Needs Of State
Department.
Washington. The largest estimates
of government expenditures ever sub
mitted to a Secretary of the Treasury
of the United States in time of peace
was presented for the next fiscal year,
as required by law, for discussion by
Congressional committees in advance
of the regular session. They will be
examined in detail by President Wil
son and his Cabinet this week.
With an estimated Increase for na
tional defense of about $150,000,003
over last year, together with the cost
of new tasks imposed on the State De
partment and other branches of the
Government by reason of the European
war, it is probable the amount of ex
penditures will be augmented to a
total of about $1,240,000,000. If Con
gress agrees to the Administration's
program for strengthening the army
and navy, it will be obliged to provide
for additional revenue legislation or
the executive branch of tho Govern
ment must Issue bonds.
Although no estimate of receipts for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1916,
In which the Increased expenditures
will take effect, has been made by Sec
retary McAdoo, officials now are con
vinced they cannot count upon more
than $750,000,000 for the 12 months,
and some believe that the total Income
will not go over $700,000,000.
Faces $135,000,000 Deficit.
Congress is to be asked to pass two
revenue measures early In the coming
session, one extending the emergency
war tax, which expires December 31
next, and the other providing for re
tention of the present duty on sugar
beyond next May, when it would go on
the free list. Passage of these meas
ures, however, would not increase the
present revenue. With both in efTect
at present, there has been a deficit of
$35,000,000.
Estimates for the Government de
partments, except State, War and
Navy, are practically the same as last
year. Additional force in the diplo
matic and consular sendee and at the
State Department, and extraordinary
expenses abroad in the work being
done by American Embassies and lega
tions, will require an increase of about
$1,300,000 for the State Department.
The $2,000,000 appropriated by Con
gress as an emergency war fund for
use of that department has been near
ly all spent, but much of it already
has been or will bo reimbursed, so
that the reapproprlatlon will not rep
resent any real expense.
The ordinary disbursements of last
year were ajjout $732,000,000. If the
receipts are as much as $750,000,000 In
the coming year and the appropria
tions of all Government departments
but tho State, War and Navy remain
the same, there still would be, with
the added budget for national defense,
an estimated deficit of more than
$135,000,000.
