FRENOR DECLARE AR ON BULGARU FRENCH TROOPS IN MACEDONIA ARE ENGAGED WITH 40,000 BULGARIANS. GIVE AID TO LITTLE SERBIA italian Participation in Balkan Cam paign is only at Beginning of Hostilities. London.--The French government has announced the existence of a state of war bet.ween France and Bulgaria, dating from 6 a. im., October 16. This follows the British declaration made the previous night. Almost co-incidentally comes the report from Athens that the French troops in Macedonia are engaged with 40.000 Bulgarians. Already thousands of Anglo-French troops. who landed at Saloniki, are en route to form a junction with the Serbians or take up strategic posi tions against. the Bulgarian advance. A late dispatch from Mlalta, the British naval station in the Alediter ranean, predicts that the Entente Al lies in the next few days will send strong tew forces to Saloniki for oper ations against the the Teutons and Bulgarians. Hard pressed on the Save Danube front by Austro-German troops estimated at 280,000 men and fighting at various points to check the Bulgarians. the Ser'bians are anx iously awaiting Anglo-French assist ance, hut they are favored by weath or conditions and mntural defenses of the country with the result that the .ivaders' progress has not been pro. nounced. Italian participation in the Balkan campaign apparently is no nearer than at the beginning of hostilities, but the Italians on the Austrian fron tier have displayed renewed activity and according to the Italian official communication "by a hold and well conducted operation took by storm the strong position of Pregasina."

Should Have Come From House.-Has Tax Feature on Manner of Trans action Instead of Action. New York.--The cotton futures act of August 18, 1914, known as the Lever law, was declared unconstitu tional by Federal District Judge Hough because, as a revenue measure, it originated in the senate instead of the house of representatives as the constitution required. The decision was rendered in a test case brought by Samuel T. Hubbard of the cotton brokerage firm of Hubbard Brothers and others to recover $1,000 paid un der protest to John Z. Lowe, Jr., col lector of internal revenue, under th( provisions of the law. Judgment wFa rendered in favor of the plaintiffs. Judge Hough sustained the firsi contention, but gave no finding on the second. le said:" "The bill known as the cotton fu tures act ,approved August 18, 1914 never was and is not a law of the United States and therefore as a proposition it is no longer open tc discussion. "This is one of the legislative pro jects which, to be a law must origi nate in the lower house. The consti tution provides that all bills for rev enue must originate in the house o: representatives.

ONE OF NUMBER ARRESTED Others Supposed to Have Returned. -Will Not Be Allowed to Leave Interned Ships Hereafter. Newport News, Va.--Several sail ors from the German auxiliary cruis er; Kronprinz Wilhelm and Prinz Eitel Friedrich, interned at the Nor folk Navy Yard, attempted to secure' passage on t'he Dutch freight steam ers, Mennikendam and Maartensdijk about to sail from this port for Rotter dam. One of the men was arrested aboard the Maartonsdijk at the re quest of the captain and is being held by the police for the commandant of the navy yard. The others are sup posed to have returned to their ships. 'T'lhe Dutch captains reported the in cident to Collector of Customs Hamil ton, who issued a statement saying rigid precautions would be taken in the future to prevent the interned Germans from escaping. On account of the disappearance of six members of the crew of the Wil helm who recently broke a leave of absence granted them for a cruise in a power yawl they had bought, has resulted in an order from the navy yard against the granting of any fur ther shore liberay to the German sailors. Collector Hamilton's statement fol lows: "Attempts have been made by men from the two interned German cruis ers at the Norfolk Navy Yard to secure passage to Rotterdam on the Dutch steamer Mennikendam which sailed from Newport News. The at tempts were frustratcd by the com mander of the Dutch steamer who re ported that two m n in uniform from the cruisers first sought passage to .hotterdam on his ship and later a third man in uniform from one of the cruisers applied alone for pas sage to Rotterdam. The -equests were promptly denied and the men departed, probably returning to their ships. They were not of the six miss ing officers. FAVORS MERCHANT MARINE. McAdoo Says it Should Be Govern ment-Owned. Kansas City, Mo.-A plea for a navy which would make the United States a:ble to face any other world power and a $40,000,000 merchant ma rine to be used as a naval auxiliary in case of war was made by William G. McAdoo Secretary of the Treasury in an address before the Kansas City Commercial Club. The p'lan of the administr-ation, Mr. McAdoo saId, is to appropriate $40. 000,000 or possibly $50,000,000 to be put into a merchant marine to be used in extending the commerce of the na tion in times of peace .but so con structed, equipped and manned to be come Immediately the necessary na val auxiliary. "I believe," said Mr. McAdoo, "an adequate merchant marine headed 'by a commission composed of the secre tary of commerce and the secretary of the navy and three experienced ibusiness men could make the United States the domInant financial and In dlustr-ial power- of the world. Also it wvould disprove that time-wvorn theory that merchant ships cannot be oper atedl profltably under- American regis try." Carranza at Monterey.

NAVAL BOARD PLAN FB.[T FIFTEEN SHIPS, SUBMARINES, CRUIS E RS, D ESTROYER S, ETC., ARE ON PROGRAM. Understood That President Wilson Approves Plans and Will Make .Naval Program Party Measure. Washington. - Fifteen to twenty fighting ships of the dreadnought and battlecruiser type with a proportion ate number of seagoing submarines, coast submarines, scout cruisers, de stroyers and auxiliaries--enough to make a new fleet--is contemplated by Secretary Daniels for recommenda tion as a five-year building program for the United States Navy. President Wilson and Secretary Daniels has discussed informally the needs of the navy and are agreed that in order to be adequately prepared for defense the present strength of the fleet must be almost doubled in the next flye years, with the addttion of many of the latest .type of fast and powerful fighting craft. Details as to numbers have not yet been : finally worked out,. but the idea of fixing a ratio for a continuing pro gram over a period of five years is the basic principle upon which the general board of -the navy and Secre tar. Daniels are planning their recoi nendations. Another conference be tween the president and the secretary will be held at which the total number probably will be fixed, The fe-year naval program when completed would add in addition to dreadnoughts and tattle cruisers near ly 100 submarines, about 70 destroy ers and several scout cruisers and proportionate number of fuel and hos pital ships, An important part of the program, too, will be a proposal for a large S crease in personnel. Appropriation, for at least 8,000 additional men will be asked for the first year to make up present defliencies, and an ade uate inumber will be sought to man the new ships built in the five-year periot. The total cost of the proposed pro gram for the first year, according to present plans, is estimated at nearly $248,000,000 or about $100,000,000 in crease over last year, WORLD PEACE IS FANTASY. Count Okuma Complains of Nations and Individuals Who Exalt Themselves San Francisco-Count Okuma, Jap anese Premier, and Dr. Ng Peon Chew, a Chinese editor of San Fran cisco, told delegates to the National Peace Congress that world peace was yet a fantasy and will be until the militaristic order of things is changed. In a message to the congress Count Okuma said t-here was no hope for peace "as long as there exists nations or individuals who believe or exalt themselves as absolutely superior to ethers and to assert that superiority do not nlesitate to appeal to material forces." On behalf of the congress Dr. Ng Peon Chew added to Count Okuma's statement: "There will be wars and more wars just so long as there are two codes of laws and two standards of morality, one governing nations, the other in dividuals." American Massacres Renewed. Wash ington.-Amennn massacres in Asiatic Turkey have beeni renewed with vigor since Bulgaria's entrance into the war as Turkey's ally. This in formation reached the state depart ment from Ambassador Morgenthau who stated that the majority of the Armenians in Asiatic Turkey had lieen killed. Although this- government some time ago warned Turkey that farther atrocIties against the Armen ians would alienate the sympathies of the American people, ?10 answer has been received. BIG DEMANDS ON . FEDERAL TREASURY ESTIMATE SHOWS LARGEST EVER SUBMITTED BY CABINET OFFICERS. AN INCREASE FOR DEFENSE May Issue Bonds as Estimates Call For Considerably More Money Than Is In Sight. Washington.-The largest estimate of government expenditures ever sub mitted to a secretary of the treasury of the United States in time of peace -probaibly $1,240,000,000--was pre sented for the next fiscal year as re quired by law for discussion by con. gressional committees in advance of the regular session. President Wilson and his cabinet will examine the list in detail this week. An estimated increase for national defense of about $150,000,000 over last year, together with the cost of new tasks imposed on the state de partment and other government branches because of the European war, account for the increase, the estimates for all departments except ing state, war and navy remaining practically the same. If congress agrees to the Adminis tration's program for strengthening the army and navy, it will be obliged to provide for additional revenue by legislation or the executive branch of tne government must issue bonds. Although no estimate of receipts for the fiscal year beginning July 1 1916, in which the increased expen ditures will take effect, has been made by Secretary McAdoo, officials now are convinced they 'cannot count upon more than $750,000,000 for the 12 months. Congress will be asked to pass two revenue measures, one extending the emergency war tax, which expires December 31 and the other provid ing for retention of the duty on su gar beyond next May, when it would go on the free list. Passage of these measures, however, would not in crease the present revenues. With both in effect at present there has been a deficit of $35,000,000. Additional force in the diplomatic and consular service and at the state department and extraordinary ex penses a'broard in the work being done by American embassies and legations, will require an increase of about $1,300,000 for the state department. NO CHANGE IN COTTON BILL. Mr. Lever Expects Supreme Court to Sustain Bill-Originated in House. New York.-Owing to the feeling o uncertainty among the cotton trad e-s as to the- attitude the New York Cotton Exchange would take follow ing the decision that the cotton fu tures act was unconstitutional, the Iboard of managers of the exchange is sued the followi~ng statement: "The board of managers does not contemplate any changes in the by laws or rules of the exchange which would affect existing contracts." No confirmation was obtained of the report that the government in tended to appeal from Ju~dge H~ough's decision. In cotton circles it was gen erally believedl the case would be ap pealed.
