Billion Senator Martin Urges Close Scrutiny of What He Term Extravagant Estimates Is Alarmed Over Financial Situation. Washington, Sept. 25. Without a roll call and after brief debate the Sen ate late today passed the eight billion, dollar war deficiency appropriation bill.

He said appropriations during five months of war would reach about $20, 000,000,000 and expressed concern lest next year's total might be $50,000,000, 000. "We are compelled to shut our eyes and appropriate a great deal rather than hamper our men on the battle field," said the senator. "But our duty to scrutinize these items grows every hour. We must give every dollar ne cessary to prosecute the war, but our duty is to trim down extravagant and useless appropriations. The govern ment's finances are in a perilous situ ition. "Are we going to impoverish the country? Yes, if necessary to win fnis war, but in God's name, don't let's spend money unless absolutely neces sary." Over the Democratic leader's oppo sition the Senate adopted 2S to 26 an amendment by Senator Robinson ap propriating $500,000 for the employ ment bureau of the Department of Labor. As it goes to conference the bill to tals $7,991,400,000, including $2,3S5,000, 000 of contract authorizations and Sen ate committee amendments, totaling 5779,000,000. With the understanding that it would be perfected and reinserted in confer ence, the Senate struck out an appro priation of $1,240,000, for civilian train ing camps. After that debate on the controversy between Secretary Daniels and the Navy League officials.

Captain Guynemer first came into public notice in February of last year by bringing down his fifth " enemy, thus becoming an "ace" and earning an official citation. Victories followed in rapid succession and the young avi ator who took part in many spetacu lar fights had the narrowest escapes on several occasions. In March of last year' he was wounded. One of the most spectacular achieve ments of Captain Guynemer .was the shooting down of three German air planes in two minutes and thirty sec onds in September of last year. On one occasion he was forced to descend between the French and German trenches, but was able to escape.
