Washington, July 2S. Nearly $700,000,000 for national defense in the fiscal year 2917 is the aggregate of proposed appropriations reached in the senate with the passage of the army appropriation bill, carrying in round numbers $31.4,000,000. This grand total for preparedness still is subject to revision, however, because the army bill will follow the
naval bill into conference, where reductions are probable, despite the firm attitude of President Wilson in sup
porting the liberal response of the senate to the call for adequate defense. The appropriations for preparedness as they now stand are as follows: Army ?313,970,447.10 Navy 315.S26.S43.55

The capture of Brody, which is one of the main railroad centers in eastern t. Galicia, marks an advance of six miles in a single day, by the czar's forces, a
speed almost unprecedented in the great war for large bodies of troops.
