TO RAISE PART
OF 1 8 BILLIONS
BY BOND ISSO
Administration Tells Congress Must
Get $7,000,000,000 by Taxes or
Securities Sales.
Expenses Exclusive of Loans to Al
lies Will lie Moiv Than
Ten Billions.
Washington, I). C, July 27. Esti
mating the cost of the war for the
coming year at 10,73",807,000 exclu
sive of loans to the allies, the ad
ministration informed congress today
that new revenues totalling $7,000,
Ooo.OOO nnift be raised from taxation
or issuance of securities.
If advancement of credit to the
allies is continued at the present rate
the year's total o fwar expenditures
will pass $16,000,000,000 and the
amount of additional revenue re
quired will increase accordingly.
How congress will meet the enor
mous new revenue requirements re
mains to be determined, but there is
a distinct sentiment in favor of off
sotting most of the expenditures by
bond issues.
Many leaders or. both sides of the
capital predicted tonight that not
mere than $2,000,000,000 of the $7,
000,000,000 asked would be raised by
taxation and that the remainder
might be met partially by bond sales
and partially by issuance of treasury
certificates of indebtedness.
Equipment and stores for the na
tional army, particularly artillery,
will require the lion's share of appro
priations under the administration's
estimates. Of the year's total of $10,-
735.S07 000 the war department
alone expects to spend $7,SGL240,000,
or Sr.:19-,000.000 more than has been
appropriated thus far for its ex
penses during the year.
The navy expects to spend $1,200,
000,000, of which $288,000000 remains
to be appropriated. The shipping
board whose ship building projects
place it third on the list, expects to
spend $790,000.00!), of which $3.,0.
000,000 remains to be appropriated.
These figures cover the cost of the
war from July 1 last to June "0 next.
They do not include the money spent
prior to the first of this month.
Estimated receipts for the year
placed by Secretary McAdoo in
transmitting the estimates to the
house ways and means and senate
finance committees at $1,333,500,000.
This estimate of receipts did not
include revenues to be raised under
the pending war tax bill, estimated
by democratic leaders in congress at
$1,070,070,00. Revision of the bill
will begin immediately to embody
whatever additional taxation it may
be deemed best to impose as a result
of the new estimates.
Tremendous as are the estimated
expenses of the government for the
year, the appropriations actually
sought by the various departments
are placed above these totals in order
to provide a margin of safety.
Thus the war department, expect
ing to spend $7,804,240,000, asks for
appropriations totalling $8,C73,368,-
000, and the navy department, csti
mating its expenditures at $1,200,000,-
000, asks for appropriations of $1,
324,178,000. Total appropriations sought by all
departments aggregated $11,051,193,-
993, or nearly $1,000,000,000 more
than estimated expenditures.
Should this sum be authorized by
congress, with an additional $4,500,
000,000 for the allies which, would be
necessary to keep up the present rate
of loans totaling $500,000,000 a
month, the total to be raised by bond
issues and additional taxation for the
current year would be more than $1C,
000,000,000. It has been indicated that
additional authorization for loans will
not be requested of congress until the
new session begins in December.
GOOD BALL GAME TOMORROW
From Saturday's Daily.
The game tomorrow at the Red Sox
park promises to be one of the best
of the season. The "Murphy Did Its"
have a reputation of being one of
the fastest teams in Omaha, and won
the pennant in the Omaha American
league the last two seasons. The
Red Sox, whom we all have faith in,
will have to play ball if they hold
this team down, but then we know
the boys here will play ball, and play
good and hard at that. Now all you
lovers of the game, come and lend a
little encouragement to the Red Sox
and they will do their part.
George Storm, who for a lone- time
worked in this city, an employe of the
.Nebraska Lighting Company, and
who resigned about the first of Feb
ruary and has been working at Red
Oak Iowa since, came in this after
noon and will visit over Sunday with
friends in this city.
RETURNS FROM WEST.
From Saturday's Dally.
Frank E. Schlater, who with L. C.
Stull, Joe Zimmerer and Billy Wolf,
the two latter from Avoca, have
been in the west for the past week,
returned home last evening looking
as brown as a berry from the effects
of the sun. Mr. Schlater, who was
at the Pioneer Days' celebration at
Cheyenne, WTyo., tells of a large
crowd there and of everybody having
a good time. Mr. Schlater and party
visited at Grant, Ogalalla and many
other places while in the west, and
find things looking nice, and especial
ly the spring wheat, which is all in
the shock. The corn also is looking
fine, but is beginning to show the
need of rain.
FRESH REVOLT
IN PETROGRAD
IS SUPPRESSED
New Demonstration iby Extremists is
Put Down by Government
Troops.
SITUATION ON FRONT
REPORTED IMPROVED
Generals Ordered to Recapture Tar
nopal; Kronstadt Asked to
Deliver Up Agitators.
London. July 27. Frseh and vio
lent fighting occurred in the street
of Petrograd the last two days, ac
cording to a dispatch from Petrograd
to the Copenhagen Berlingski Tid-
ende, transmitted - by the Exchange
Telegraph company yesterday.
The extreme socialists organized a
great revolt, the dispatch adds, but
the government troops immediately
interfered and the riot was sup
pressed after lively fighting.
Petrograd. July 27. The extreme
gravity of the country's position in
the front impels Premier Kerensky to
convoke July 31 at Moscow the "ex
traordinary national council." All
members of the duma, prominent men
from chief centers of the empire, rep
resentatives of the Zemstvos, Munic
ipalities, labor unions, and universi
ties will participate.
The council will hold two session;
at which the government will be
asked to make an exhaustive report
on the condition of the country and
answer questions and ask opinions of
authoritative persons on how best to
save the fatherland from ruin.
Explaining the scheme today, Pre
mier Kerensky declared that attempts
to move the revolution backwards
were impossible. Conspiracies to re
store monarch ial government "will be
suppressed in the most determined
and merciless way."
As an indication of the new policy
and firm measures to be taken Kron
stadt received an ultimatum to hand
over three of the chief Bolsheviki ag
itators, nicluding the notorious Ros
chal. In case of a refusal the island
will be declared blockaded.
The evening newspapers declare
the position on the front is somewhat
improved. As the evacuation of Tar
nopol is considered to have been pre
mature, Russian generals have been
ordered to recapture the town.
UNDER SURVEILLANCE.
Philip Heil, from near Cedar Creek,
who talked too much, and said things
not in harmony with the cause of the
United States, and which were pro
nouncedly pro-German, was arrested
and taken to Omaha, where he was
charged with the offense. He ad
mitted saying what :ie was accused
of, but pleaded that tie did not know
that he was doing anything against
the laws, and was allowed to go
home, but was resuired to report so
often to the United States court,
which he went to Omaha this morning
to do.

well as fighters. Two million, three

DEATH PENALTY
RE-ESTABLISHED
TO CORE RUSSIA
On Advice of Commanders Who Are
Dealing With Insubordination
in Army.
Such details of the Russian retrea'
in eastern Galicia as are now comin?
to hand do not tend to minimize th
seriousness of the situation. Specia
dispatches report the losses in heav
artillery will be tremendous, and e
press doubt as to the ability of the ir
fantry of tne Russian eighth arm'
to make good its retreat.
There is still an absence of assur
ances that the Russian commander:
of the Russian armies taking part i
the backward movement have sue
ceeded in getting their refractor:
troops in hand.
Indications are not wanting, how
ever, that the process is well unde
way. There comes through Petrogra
for instance, the report that Generc
Korniloff's drastic measures have ir
eluded the blowing to pieces of an er
tire division of traitorous troops o
the eleventh army by its own artil
lery.
What may prove to be a saving for
ture of the situation is the firmnes
of the Russian armies both to tk
north and the south in the field r
treat. There has been no suggestic
of any yielding tendency of Russk
forces in Volhynia, just to the nort
of the affected sector, while to tl
south the Russian troops are not on7
standing fast as far as they are ab!
but are co-operating with the Ri
manians in a successful' ofi'ensp
movement on the Moldavian frontie:
Petrograd, July 20. The cor
mander in chief and the commando
of the various armies at the fro;
having insisted that restoration
discipline in the army inevitab
would necessitate infliction of tl
death penalty, the government h:
agreed unanimously to restore capit
punishment.
The measure is of temporary cha
acter, to have effect until the end c
the military operations.
The inquiry into the recent diso'
ders here is being continued energe
ically under the supervision of tl
public prosecutor. The authorities ai
taking measures to discover and brir
to justice all organizers of and pai
ticipants in the revolt.
A telegram from Ilensingford sa;
that the Russian warshfis, Slava, R
publica and Petropaulosk, which wei
involved in the recent disaffection
men in the Baltic fleet, have been re
called to favor in consequence of Pr
mier Kerensky's order concerning tl
dissolution of the central committc
of the Baltic fleet. The committee
flag on the yacht Polar Star, whic
formerly belonged to Emperor Nicl
olas. has been lowered.
General Polovsteff, military gove;
nor of Petrograd, who recently wt
severely denounced by Minister c
War Kerensky for failing to pu
down rioting in the capital, has rt
signed. General Ertlelli, eommar.de
of the Eleventh army, has been ap
pointed his successor.
