BKRUS. Msrrh 17.-Hy Wireless to
Fyvlll.) Dr. Ksrl Helferlch of the Im
perial treeaury Introduced in the Reich
KtC yseterdsy the budget proposal and
Mils for new war taxes. tr. Helferlch
1nnttel upon the necessity for rigid
rconomy In frsmlnf ep th budget, esy
Ins: "V shall put on tha erases wherever
w can."
Dr. Helferlch said ft waa eaaentlal to
mnk adequata previsions for war re
quirement In th way of loan.
This ta not red tap." ha aald. "It la
nothing but duty and foraatfht for a
romlnr day."
The cecretary pointed eu that an In
crease m revenue by tasatlon u neoee
oary, although, h aald, erary Ocrmtn
exported pear would bring financial ad
vantage. After elating that war ex
penses were not Included In th budget,
fie referred to the fart that th Influence
of th war wa notlesabls In the increase
of Interest en th publlo debt, which waa
l.MW.OnO.OO mark )aat year and la now
i.aru.too.OOO mark. II aald th budget
ehowtd a deficit of 40 Ono.000 mark a.
which wa to be covered by new war
taxes.
Dr. Helferlch took exception to state
ments that he had aald no new tascs
wer contemplated during th war. At a
matter of J-iet, he had aald new taxea
should be avoided a long aa tbe regular
hudget, together with the requirement
for providing for 'the publlo debt, bal
anced without them. Th secretary also
replied to erIMciama that he had shown
a tack of originality In devlalng the new
taxea, declaring he cared more for money
than orljrlnallty. -
Ir. Helferlch urged the Reichstag to
erpadlte the financial legislation, sarins
that tha new taxea would prorld 10.00O,-
om mark each week for carrying on th
war.
Tha wmretary compared the financial
resource of Onrmana aa exhibited dur
ing the war with those, of ita enemies.
He aald Pranoa up to th present hal
not raised even 10,T,000 marks In war
loana and that England had raised be
tween H. 000.000. 000 and ls.000,000.000 marks,
of which 16.ono,ono.000 was In the form of
a short term floating debt. Oermany,
he saft, had raised K.OM.OOft.MO marks
end U tha loan had been consolidated.
At the same tim th coat ef th war
in January and February fell below I.S09,-
(w.5Q marks.
avtdoa DpHa lateeesiae.
German savings banks, the secretary
continued, now have 4sposUs 100, 000,0)3
marks la axcees ef 191 i, la addition to
' which 4.(00,000.00 marks has been with
drawn from the banks for war loaa in
vestments. vjwrjnanr a timiw, ut. iiauenon as
serted, ar carrying' on a campaign of
defamation which extends even Into this
country, where paid agents spread ru
mor tor the purpose of impairing the
success of war loana.
The secretary reminded the RetaBalag
of the battle now In progress at Verdun,
saying: '
"Our troop have the right to expect
that we at feome prove worthy of them,
and also that every one shall contribute
aa be is able in tbe effort to bring
about victory and peace."

HOUSE IS DEBATING
BIGGER ARMY BILL
Speaker ' Clark Letrei Chair and
Will Be One of Men to Snpport
the Measure.
HOUSE UNAKIMOTJS FOR ACTION
WASHINGTON, March 17. Un
der a role limiting general debate to
ten hours, the house today i began
tonelderlng' the army bill tbe most
extensive proposal for Increasing the
military establishment eTer laid be
fore It in peace times. It possible a
final vote will be reached tomorrow
night.
Forty speakers have asked for
time, republicans and democrats be
ing equally represented on the list.
When the debate began no opponent
of the general plan of preparedness
bad asked to be heard.
Chalrmaa hay of the military com
mittee and Representative Kahn, rank
ing republican member, apportioned the
ten houra erually. Bo far as Is known
no committee member will favor reduc
tion of tbe provisions for the regular
army or the National Guard, although
several are known to favor a larger
standing army.
Clark Will liMk,
Speaker Clark, who will deliver an ad
dress In support of the measure, sur
rendered the chair to Representative Oar
rett of Tennessee at the beginning of tbe
debate.
Representative Oordon. democrat, of
Ohio, led off for the bill. lie had been
lilted as an anti-preparedness, but ex
plained today that his opposition was only
to a great standing army.
Representative Hay told the house the
fact that the committee had reached a
unanimous report on the bill Indicated
the feeling of the country on the vital
subject of preparedneee.
In fixing 110,000 men as ths strength
of the army, he said, the committee had
gone to what War department officials
had testified was the limit of peace time
recruitment. A force of 250,000 regulars
would mean compulsory service, to which
the country was opposed and an annual
expenditure ef 1750,000,000 for the army
alone.
"Of course." Mr. Hay said, "If It came
to war, congreae would go any extent
Applause g re ted the statement.
Representative Kahn Interrupted to
point out that while the. bill provided
for a peace strength of 13.000 fighting
men, In th imminence of war th presi
dent could bring It up to more than
170,000. exclusive of auxiliary troops.
Hay for Fswif-Tmv Teraas.
"I do not believe." Mr. Hay said, "that
the two-year enlistment would be a good
thing. Half the time the army would be
composed largely of half-baked recruits.
Those who advocate the short term en
listment also desire that there be no re
enlistment, . Few men will enlist if tbey
know there ie no futilre and the backbon
of the army today la the non-oommls-stoned
officer."
Tha propose a ' Increase In take army, , h
explained, could be accomplished through
a tour-year enlistment aa proposed by the
bill. , . .
Mr, Hay then turned to a general ex
planation ef th plan -to federsils hf
national guard. He contended eongresa
had full constitutional power to do it, -"We
provide," he said, "that tbe Na
tional guard can be mobilised at onoe. In
time of war, without the delay and con
fualon of Spanish war days. I do not be
Heve that any queation will aria aa to
the powers of congress over the mllltla.
Put if It does sitae, the blU will stand the
test, even before the supreme court. The
president will have the power to send th
guard anywhere he can send the regular
army."
