In submitting the 1917 budget in the Prussian diet Dr. Lcntze, the minister of finance, ac cording to Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam, made the following state ment: "Each time we have submitted the war budget in the last two years, we have entertained the hope it would be the last with which we would have to deal. Again we submit a war Budget and we should not like abandon the same hone desoite th fact that the German peace offer has been refused by our enemies with the announcement ot their policy ot war to destruction. After proohesvine that the attack of Germany's foes would fail before the bravery of the German forces, Lr. Lentze continues: "The war has severely taxed our Duaget and has demanded special ef forts. Although a balance of receipts ana expenditures was established on tne estimates, this was only in ap pearance, because many important 1 1 nnanciai questions had to be oott poned until later. This means until I! after the war. We must continue to conduct our political economy on narrower, more stringent lines than formerly. "The principal thing today is that we win tne war, ur. Lentze con turned. "The blockade makes itself felt more and more. It cannot be denied that it lies heavily on the country, and yet it must be borne. Encroachments on private interests, the aimcuities ot supplying foodstuffs and their costliness certainly are very great. . Many a man with smalt in come and a large family has great difficulty to meet them, but what is the welfare of a single individual as compared with the future of our whole people f "Our enemies make a great mistake it they believe they can conquer us bjr a blockade. No one starves in Germany, despite the blockade. This has been well provided against. In enemy countries the cost of food and the distress in many respects are greater than with us. There are still aimcuit months ahead ot us, very ncavy ngnnng stm 10 overcome, man sacrifices of blood and treasure stii to make. We do not deny it. Bat our confidence remains firm. We are all convinced that we cannot be At feated and that victory will be with us. Our true God, who so certainly has guided the young empire of Prus. si, will remain with us if on I do our duty, and this we sha with willing hearts. T Frvvfwt Grto.

BODTf OF DEWEY TO REST ATARLINGTON ' tCaatlaaeel Ami tmn Om.) ter year the general board urged the building of more shins than congress would agree to, until at the last ses- sion a great building program based upon its recommendations finally was adopted. Wilson ' Statement It waa because of the admiral's keen aversion to many suggestions that his health and strength were failing that the naval physiciana at tending him agreed with the family to make no announcement of his con dition after the attack Thursday. It was given out that the admiral had a cold, and until Sunday even the doc tors hoped that he might master the disease.' Yesterday his condition had become so serious that the facta no longer could be withheld. When news of the admiral's death waa received at the White House, 'President Wilson authorised the fol lowing statement: "In expressing his grief at the death of Admiral Dewey the presi dent said the whole nation will mourn the loss of its most distinguished na val officer, a man who has Men as faithful, aa intelligent and as success ful in the performance of his respon sible duties in time of peace as he was gallant and successful in time of war. It is just such men that gives the service distinction and the nation a just pride in those who serve it." Patterson, Omaha Boy in : The Navy, Gets Promotion D. C. Patterson, jr., son of D. C.

It rrtainly cannot be realized now. The Turkey of union and prog ress' is at least as harhariotis and is far more airerrssive than the Turkev of Sulian Abdul Haniid. In the hand of Germany, it has ceased even in ap pearance to be a bulwark of peace and is openly used as an instrument of conquest.

Provide no Security. "Evidently, however, such terri torial rearrangements, though they may diminish the oceans of war, pro vide no sufficient security against its recurrence. If Germany, or rather those in Germany who mould its opinions and control its destinies, again set out to domineer the world, they may find that lv the new order of things the adventure is made more difficult, but hardly that it is made impossible. They may still have ready to their hand a oolitical svstem organized through and through on a military basis: they may still ac cumulate vast stores of military equip ment; they may still persist in their methods of attack, so that their more acihc neighbors will be struck down efore thev can orenare themselves for defense. If so, Europe when the war is ovr will be far poorer in men. in money and in mutual good will than it was when the war began, but it will not be safer; and the hopes for the HEARING OF "LEAK" CHARGES DELAYED Members of Committee Unable to Agree on Counsel to Direct Inquiry.

"There are those who think that for this disease international treaties and international laws may provide a sufficient cure, out such persons have ill learned the lessons so clearly taught by recent history. While other nations, notably the United States of America and Ureat Britain, were striv ing by treaties of arbitration to make sure that no chance auarrel should mar the peace they desired to make perpetual, Germany stood aloof. Her historians and philosophers preached the splendors of war; power was proclaimed as the true end of the state, and the general staff forged with untiring industry the weapons by German armies should suppose them selves safe from German methods, the submarine has (within its limits) assiduously imitated the barbarous practices of the sister service. The war staffs of the central powers are wel content to horrify the world if :l the same time they can terrorize it. "If then the central powers succeed, it will be to methods like these that they will owe their success. How can any reform of international relations be based on a peace thus obtained?

This foreshadows extending the inquiry to its broadest aspects. Tak ing of testimony will be resumed to morrow, probably with J. P. Morgan of j and other financiers in the witness If i chair. which at the appointed moment power rangemcnts lor maintaining peace might be achieved. These facts proved clearly enough that treaty ar te were not likely to find much favor at Berlin; they did not prove that such treaties once made would be utterlv ineffectual. This became evident onlv when war had broken out, though the demonstration, when it came, was overwhelming. So long as Germany remains the Germany, which without Shadow ot justification overran and barbarously ill-treated a country it was pledged to defend, no state can regard its rights as secure if they have no better protection than a solemn treaty, Belgium an Example. "The case is made worse bv the reflection that these methods of cal culated brutality were designed by the central powers not merely to crush to the dust those with whom they were at war, but to intimidate those with whom they were still at peace. Bel gium waa not only a victim, it was an example. Neutrals were intended to note the outrages which followed on its occupation, the deportation of portion of its population, the cruel oppression of the remainder. And lest the nationi happily protected, either by British fleets or by their own from masts, and probably was of high speed. . Philadelphia, Jan. 17.

(Special Tele- gram.) Dr. B. Farley died here from an attack of pneumonia. He had practiced medicine in York since 1885 and was very successful, and was a highly esteemed citizen. Dr. Farley was a veteran of the civil war with a splendid record as a soldier. Although declining to object Rep resentative Cooper, republican, of Wisconsin, , criticised the inquiry to date in a short speech. "Thus far," tie said, "the results have only confirmed the belief throughout the nation that there is no fine sense of honor in public life. This inquiry has degenerated into a j partisan struggle. Representative Moore of Pennsyl i vania said that Samuel Untermyer had been suggested as counsel for the committee and declared that Charles Evans Hughes "might be a good man to consider. Republican Leader Mann then de dared: "I am convinced that the employ ment of either Samuel Untermyer or Mr. Hughes would be an act of such gross impropriety that it would not be considered for a moment by the committee." Mr. Mann added he hoped and be lieved "that the investigation will show that no public official in high place has been guilty of that which would be treason to the country and the people through the betrayal of a trust."
