Washington, April 1?Government expenditures have exceeded the revenues "from all sources" by more than $200,000,000 during the first nine months of this fiscal year, and the reductions of $700,000,000 in the 'loating debt last month is only a 'temporary" condition. Representative Mondell Wyoming, Republican eader, declared today in a statement. Bconomy alone( he said, could avert i "calamitous crisis.'' Immediately jpon the "temporary reduction" in he floating debt, Mr. Mondell declared, the treasury was in the market 'or further loans and this month must lispose of a further large volume of emporary certificates. Government financing by short term lotes, he added, is such as "may iring a tremendous increase the very text day, week or month," after an Lpparent reduction for a comparaive period. Citing the $2,500,000,000 war deicit as not covered by bonds or prodded for by current revenues", the Republican leader said that such a >um to be carried by short term notes vas "a serious menace at any time," uid particularly when the country vas trying to recover from the war. "The increasing gravity of the dificulties arising out of this enormous "olume of indebtedness that must be enewed from time to time,'' said Mr. dondell, "is indicated by the fact vere offered sold readily in the ;pring and summer of 1017 bearing in interest rate of 3 per cent, less han $200,000,000 of a recent treas? try offering of certificates at 4 1-2 jer cent, were sold and the treasury >vi 11 be in thP market in the very near uture for loans on short time certiicatefc at 4 3-4 per cent., with the )robabilities that the rate will have o be still further advanced and may ?o to six per cent, or twice the >n" erest rate of three years ago." Treasury officials the statement continued, "have handled a trying situation most admirably," but they 'can not avert disaster unless we keep jublic expenditures within our in:ome." An actual reduction of public debt, VIr. Mondell added, is necessary durng the next fiscal year, beginning Fuly 1, "to sustain national credit." Congress, Mr. Mondell predicted vould grant appropriations for the text year of $1,250,000,000 less than ?stimated by government departments vhich asked for approximately $5,100,000,000 for all purposes. "Further bond issues,'? concluded the statement, "could only be floated it greatly increased interest rates, at [he cost of a considerable reduction in the market value of outstanding government securities with the grave langer of wrecking the specific basis sf our currency, with the certainty of increasing the price of commodities ind further enhancing the cost of livinp TTnrtpr thpse conditions a fur ther bond issue is unthinkable." o COL.

God alone knows the genuine help your confidence and support gave me at a time most needed in my life. As your clerk of court my record I leave with you. If it has been good you know; if not you know. 1 promised not to ask for a long time and 1 have lived up to that promise.

The legislature meets < May 1U, the first scheduled assembly 1 after that of Deleware. In the first place woman suffragists : themselves are divided on ratifica- t tion. Mrs. Lydia Wickliffe Holmes, < state chairman of the National Wo- i man's party, is leading the fight for J ratification. < Miss Kate Gordon and Mrs. Jean Gordon, ardent suffragists for many t years and widely known as efficient t organizers, have conducted an inten- 1 sive campaign against suffrage by I t federal amendment. They seek suf- 1 frage only by state enacTtneni, noia-i ing to the supremacy of state rights, i Governor Pleasant has consistent- i ly opposed any woman suffrage pro-11 visions granted in any way which [ would violate the doctrine of state J s rights and he is known to have many j s followers.

News iind Courier. Because of conditions due to strikes beyond its own lines, the Atlantic Joast Line Uailread has found it necessary to turn its through trains at llichmond, instead of having them operated bv way of the Pennsylvania Railroad into New York. Tickets will be sold to points beyond Richmond only with the distinct inderstanding that the traveler accepts the danger of delay. As soon as t is practicable the Atlantic Coast Line will, of course, resume the full J|? liliiun ui n? iiuuu^u iiauis. Passengers leaving here Sunday afternoon on the first and second seclions of train No. 82, the Palmetto Limited, fared badly beyond Richmond in spite of the Atlantic Coast Linens efforts to get them through. The two sections of this popular trair. oiled into Richmond without unusjal incident, but were not operated je.vond that city. This serious break in through passenger service, due to the various strikes in the East, has come just vhen the returning tourist travel is ibout at its crest, and great inconvenience is being caused to many hunlreds of people who are trying to reurn to their homes after a winter n the South. Mr. Thomas E. Myers, district passenger agent for the Atlantic Coast Line, said yesterday that the Atlanic Coast Line regretted the inconvenience that is being caused, but hat the railroad is without control )ver the circumstances that have irisen. Just as soon as it can the \tlantic Coast Line will restore its "u 11 service. Not only is the passenger strvice seriously interl'erred with, but freight is suffering. It is reported that even lerishnble freight cannot be got hrough the strike-ridde,, lines. This means that freight bound this way, its well as freight billed for the East, svill be halted. o VOCNO FLORENCE MEN ARRESTED IN BALTIMORE. Florence Times. Friends of Schaffer Leviner and Diedrick Jeffords, who are reported by the Washington Star to have been arrested in Washington on a serious charge, were today without information additional to the dispatch printed in the State of Sunday but are confident that some mistake has been made and that the matter will be cleared up satisfactorily to them. Following is the dispatch as it appeared in the State of yesterday front P. H. McGowan, the Washington correspondent of the newspaper: "The Washington Post today carried the foil wing story: "Charged with having taken two Washington girls, 15 years old and 14 years old, to Baltimore, Dederick E Jeffords and Snater Leviner, both of Florence, were arrested yesterday. Police say that the two men met the girls in this city Thursday and took them to Baltimore. After spending the night in a hotel in that city, the men left the girls at the railroad station, saying they would return lor them later. The men were later arrested and 'he District police notified. They in turn notified the parents of the girls who brought them back front Baltimore last night." Shatter Leviner and Diederick Jeffords said to have been arrested in Washington, are boih about 21 years of age and are express messengers, They are boys of good reputation in the city. o lilt; ADVANCE IN COTTON. Anxiety Over Possibility of .Short Crop lles|H>nsil?le. New York, April 5?Growing anxiety over the possibility of a sixth short cotton crop was the cause of an excited advance in the future market here today. Local traders had been inclined to expect clearing weathei conditions over the Easter holidays, t.iii ?iiiu timrniiii?'s ronnrt indicated continuation of rain in the eastern aii(] central sections and very low t em pern lures in the Southwest. In consequence there was active covering as well as increasing trading and speculative demand which carried prices into new high ground for the season. The advance was led by the new crop positions, with Oc tober selling up to 35 cents late in the afternoon, or more than ?0 per bale above the closing price of la Thursday. KISSEI) INTO IJ<.HI.

IS RAILROAD STRIKE j WORLD REVOLUTION? WASHINGTON SEES EVIDENCES OF 1. W. W. ACTIVITIES. Department of Justice Says May be Attempt to Bring About World* Wi?lu Trouble. " There has been little improvement in the railroad situation in the last 24 hours. Traffic on the Pennsylvania railroad is tied up and the Atlantic Coast Line and other Southern roads which use the Pennsylvania ? into New York are refusing to sell tickets beyond their lines. Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line passengers cannot go further than Richmond and Southern Railway passengers can go as far as Washington, 'the end of the Southern's lines. The first effects of the strike in Dillon is felt in the sugar shortage. There is no sugar in town and it is impossible to get shipments. There 'is onlv a limited snnnlv nf cnal and when this is exhausted the several manufacturing plants, including the electric light p?ant, will have to shut down. A dispatch from Washington indicates I. W. W. activities behind the 'strike Movement and the situation is looked uyo? as serious. The dispatch says: Washington, April 13?Evidence of the activity of Industrial Workers ;of the World toward inciting and maintaining the unauthorized rail1 road strike continues to accumulate at the Department of Justice and officials admitted tonight that they saw signs of an attempt to expand the rail strike into "one phase of a world revolution."
