BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS GETS DOWNTO WORK VfcAdoo Sends Annual Estimate of Appropriations to House, Showing Decrease Since 1913.

ASKS 8 SUBMARINES Total Naval Estimate $145,396,819.88, Slightly in Excess of Amount in Last Naval Budget. BULLETIN. WASHINGTON, Dec 7. "The great increase in the army and navy which we hear advocated will not be required by the United States today nor tomorrow. Nor can it be supplied right away." With this statement, Vice President Marshall today expressed his opinion, of the bigger army and navy policy. BY THEODORE TILLER, Staff Correspondent The International News Service. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. It's another "billion-dollar" congress." This is shown by the annual estimates of appropriations sent to the house by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo today. However, the administration has determined upon a policy of economy folio whip the record-breaking appropriations of the last session. This is evidenced by the fact that few salary increases are recommended and the estimates are approximately $25,000,000 less than the estimates submitted a year ago. Because of the agitation of the alleged nnpreparedness of the nation for war, chief interest attaches to the program of the navy and military estimates. The building program of the navy is as follows: Two battleships, six torpedo boat destroyers, oie oiler, one gunboat, and right or more submarines, one of the latter to be of seagoing type and the others to be of coast defense type. To begin construction of these vessels the sum of $19,224,000 is asked, and an ad-1 dltional $7,000,000 is recommended for armor and armament for vessels heretofore authorized, and approximately $15,000,000 on acount of hulls and outfits of vessels heretofore authorized. The requisition for eight or more submarines makes it probable that the naval committee will authorize more than the customary number. Naval (Continued on Page Nine.) JAPANESE EMPEROR MAY SEND ARMIES TO EUROPEAN FIELD TOKIO, Dec. 7. The Japanese capital today was resplendent with oriental splendor and western precisir,i. Between the lines of Emperor Yoshihito's address one might read that Japan was preparing to send armies to Europe. The emperor's address, so far as it related to the war, follows: "I am happy to announce that the friendship of the empire with treaty ! jowers is growing in cordialiK a-id that the alliance with Great Britain nnd the ententes with France and Jtusia have been cemented in the jneent crisis by stronger bonds of cnity "Our army and navy in co-operation with our ally have crushed the enjemy in the Orient and peace is gradually being restored. However, the great war is not ended. We rely on the loyalty and bravery of our troops. Wo wish to attain the final object as quickly as possible. "The emperor earnestly requests the diet to co-operate harmoniously with the program of the parliament." WATSON AND TROUBLE G. The re-entrance of the old reaction-, ary crowd into the Republican party of Indiana and the efforts Watson and Hemenway are making to keep control, are set forth in a special dispatch from Indianapolis to a Cincinnati newspaper, by Robert G. Tucker. The dispatch follows: How to rehabilitate the Republican party so that, it can cop the bunting in Indiana in 1916 without forking over to leaders of the old guard the nominations for Governor and United States Senator is the complex problem now confronting the men engaged actively in laying the plans for the next encounter with the ancient Democratic enemy. Less than a month ago the future of the grand old party looked simple and easy. Members of the organization were so enthusiastic that they couldn't detect a single cloud capable of standing between them and victory at the next election. The word went the rounds that the Republicans were hitting their stride so rapidly and completely that there wouldn't be a ghost of a chance for the Democrats to retain control of the state government. Democratic Outlook. The wise men among the Democrats admitted the obvious as far as the Progressives are concerned. They couldn't help but see that thousands of the followers of Roosevelt and Beveridge have joined in the rush back to the Republican fold. The outlook has hot appeared any too gorgeous to the

TERRE HAUTE PROBE DEVELOPS FURTHER MYSTERIOUS ANGLES INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 7. A new and mysterious angle in the alleged Terre Haute election frauds, being probed by the federal grand jury, developed today when Attorney Frank Fippen notified District Attorney Bailey that he desired to withdraw the bonds furnished for four of the eight men who have been recently released from the county jail here. This indicated that the bondsmen represented by Fippen were ; displaying a disposition to detect the i four men. J District Attorney Bailey sprung a j surprise when he notified Fippen that -tfie bonds upon which the men were released were not the ones that were at first presented, but bonds that were ; subsequently furnished by other par- j ties. Mystery, surrounds the identity i of the real bondsmen in these cases. The original bands submitted, but j w-hich Bailey says were disapproved, ! were signed by memhers of Mayor Don j Roberts' administration. j Attorney Fippen's action today was taken in court circles as meaning to strengthen the current belief that ad ditional and more startling surprises are yet to come to light. GOODWIN STARTS WAR ON RESORT Flora Carpenter, colored, arrested yesterday on a charge of suspicion, today admitted that she had been visiting the home of Jennie Boone on South Sixth street for immoral purposes. It is probable that a charge of conducting a house of ill fame will be preferred against the Boone womfin. The police have information that there are quite a few questionable resorts in the city, and are trying to secure evidence to have them closed. HEMENWAY 0. P.

Watson, according to the story, has concluded that the time Is ripe for him to become a candidate for United States Senator to succeed John Worth Kern. It is being stated that he Is quietly lining up his friends throughout Indiana for a fight with any and all comers who care to enter the race. As for Hemenway, it is not being said tfiat he is an aspirant for public office, but it is asserted that he feels that the returns have vindicated the old guard and that he is due tor a "come back" as a leader.

BELGIAN WAR PICTURES COPIE HERE THIS WEEK

Palladium Arranges Schedule of Twelve Performances for Wednesday and Thursday Union Takes Charge of Murray While Films Run 11,000 Saw Performances in Indianapolis Theatre Last Week.

How Belgian was changed from a peaceful country into a shambles where the dead of four nations lay motionless after the armies have passed on to new fields of destruction, is told in the Tribune war films which will be shown at the Murray theatre under the auspices of the Palladium Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings. Seventy-five dollars goes to Belgium, the balance to the Palladium Santa j Claus fund. An agreement was made i by which half of the charge for the films will be turned over to the Belgian government by the Chicago Trib-; une, with this agreement that the 1 newspaper was then authorized to have the pictures taken along the line of actual fighting. Union Takes Charge. While the war films are in the city union men will have charge of the Murray theatre, operating the machine and conducting the performances. Twelve exhibitions will be given, beginning at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The schedule for the afternoons and evening follow: Afternoon shows at 2, 3 and 4 o'clock; evening shows, 7, 8 and 9 o'clock. As the films will arrive in the city early Wednesday morning, a special exhibition has been arranged for 10:30 o'clock, to which members of the school board, pupils of Wernle Or- , phans' Home and of Whitewater school CHICAGO MAN TELLS OF CLUBJR BOYS L.

The club has one thousand members, of which nine-tenths are foreign born, representing twenty nationalities. The work was called by the field secretary, "home and foreign mission combined," because of the class of neglected, dependent and homeless boys it dealt with. There Is a farm of one hundred acres at Pawpaw, Mich., which is the intermediate step for orphan boys between Chicago and an ultimate farm home. Only a dozen boys can be kept at once, Mr. Trowbridge said, but as rapidly as the old ones become accuBtomed to farm life they are given places where they become self-supporting, and new boys replace them on the Boys' Club farm. The club Is evangelical and conducts gospel meetings, Sunday school and religious lectures. It is non-denomina-ltlonal.

have been invited as special guests of the Palladium. In Indianapolis where the pictures were run part of last week, 11,000 persons paid admission to see them. Ministers, physicians, lawyers and busiagreed there 'could be no Vaking in those scenes. The horror of war and the terrible wastefulness of it grasped them as they sat in the silent, darkened theatre. Shows Antwerp's Fall. j For an hour scenes from the battlefields unroll on the screen, showing Belgian soldiers digging trenches and then firing from them, and depicting stubborn defenses from the ruins of houses and public buildings in many towns. The Tribune photographer secured many views of the fleeing refugees. The pictures show men feverishly working with batteries of cannon, the fall of Antwerp, the burning of Alost, fighting at Aerschot and many other incidents in connection with the fighting in Belgium. The intelligent interest which Rich mond citizens have manifested in the developments of the war is sure to pack the Murray at each performance. The unusually heavy schedule of exhibitions was arranged that all might have an oppountunity to see the films. Persons who can, will be 'more certain of getting seats if they attend the afternoon shows, as the theatre probably will be packed both evenings. BRUSH IN EGVPT SUFFER REPULSE BY LEASED WIRE. CONSTANTINOPLE, . Dec. 7 (Via Sofia, Berlin and Amsterdam) War office dispatches say that the British have landed an expeditional force between Tigris and Suvago, where they attempted to take up a position, but were repulsed with heavy losses. The Tigris river flows Into the Euphrates about ninety miles from the Persian Gulf, but the Suvaga is not mentional on the standard Rand-Mc-Nally map , of Turkey in Asia. The British would have access to Turkey via the Persian Gulf from their Indian possessions. The Weather FOR INDIANA Unsettled tonight and Tuesday, probably with rain. Temperature Noon 39 Yesterday.

FUNDS OF CITY CHECK PAVING MORE JTREETS Officials Declare Small Budget Left Precludes Improvements Petitioned for From Various Districts.

$8,500 IS AVAILABLE Councilmen Expected to Unite on Policy Calling for Permanent Improvement of Streets. , Following a suggestion made by City, Engineer Charles that North Sixteenth street from Main to F needed to be permanently improved by paving and the filing of a petition for the paving of North Ninth street from Main to A, President Bavis of the board of public -works today declared that he did not see how these improvements or any other permanent street improvements could be made next year. Mr. Bavis pointed out that the 1915 appropriation for city's share of public improvements was only $15,000 and of that amount $6,500 was already mortgaged for improvements made this year but not yet paid for, $1,500 for j the North Twelfth street sewer and $5,000 for the Morton park sewer system. So, Mr. Bavis said, the city actually has $8,500 available for public improvements next year. Today petitions for improvements on which the city will have to pay $2,000 were in(Continued on Page Four) POLICE DISTURB "BLIND TIGERS" IN THREE RAIDS Chief Goodwin and Patrolmen Pass Busy Sunday Raiders Surprise Obed Knight Broiling Chickens.

Knight's home was burned to the ground about Bix weeks ago and since that time he has been living with a family at the place where he was arrested yesterday. A search of the premises disclosed three gallons of whiskey hidden under a bed. Richard Reeder and Charles Flohre admitted having purchased drinks from Knight yesterday.

BY FREDERICK WERNER, Staff Correspondent for International News Service. BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Dec 7. The battle of Lodz has ended in complete victory for the Germans, the city has been captured and the Russians are In full retreat, according to an official statement Issued here today. It Is stated that the Russians suffered heavy losses which are being increased as the Germans pursue, and that many guns and thousands of prisoners were taken by the Germans. Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General von Mackenzen are the heroes of Germany today. Von Hindenburg is given the full credit for the masterly strategy that resulted in the Gervictories, but von Mackenzen shares the glory with his commander for the manner In which he cut the Russians to pieces with his desperate attacks. Admit Danger Period. With the announcement of the success at Lodz, there also came for the first time, a semi-official admission that at one time the Germans in western Poland were in danger, but extricated themselves and put their forces in such a position that they were able to cut the attacking Russians to pieces. The German military experts make no efforts to claim that the victory at Lodz crushed the Russians in Poland. They call the battle at Lodz only "the

They declare however, that its successful termination will materially check the operations of the Russians in parts of the zone extending from East Prussia to the Carpathian mountains. French Boost Guns. The heavy French artillery is gaining the advantage over that of the Germans, says an official Paris statement this afternoon. This is the first time that France has claimed its guns were superior to those of the foe. The offensive taken along the Yser river by the allies continues, but the statement claims no great progress. The Germans are resisting stubbornly in this region. The official statement follows. "In the region of the Yser we continue to attack some trenches which the enemy has maintained upon the left bank of the canal. "In the region of Armentleres and of Arras, as in that of the Olse, the Alsne and the Argonne, there is nothing to report except that in a general way the superiority of our offensive has been demonstrated. "In the champagne district, our heavy artillery, in several engagements, has gained a marked advantage over the artillery of the enemy.
