ANOTHER PLAN IS NEEDED
Mr. Fitzgerald Say Tariff it Not to
Blame For , Shirking Income But
Economy I Needed.
Washington. Statements Issued by
Chairman Fitzgerald of the house ap
propriations committee ,and Represen
tative Gillett, ranking Republican
member, agreed that appropriations of
the last session of congress totalled
$1,115,121,409; that contracts Involving
additional appropriations of $37,400,000
were authorized and that a treasury
deficit Is probable.
Chairman Fitzgerald's staement did
not give the total appropriations for
for the entire Sixty-third Congress.
Mr. Gillett placed It at $2,231,000,000
greater than that of the Sixty-second
congress and $177,000,000 more than
the last Republican congress appropri
ated. Mr. Fitzgerald estimated that should
the condition of the treasury continue
as at present until June 30. the total
deficit would be $133,000,000 offset,
however, by Income tax collections es
timated at $80,000,000.
Mr. Gillett asserted that the treas
ury has not been so empty since the
Cleveland administration.
Chairman Fitzgerald declared the
tariff in no way was responsible and
hnt until the outbreak of war the
new law had proved an effective rev
anna nrnHiicer. Mr. Gillett did not
agree with that.
Mr. Fitzgerald said the effect of the
war was world-wide and that as It goes
on reduction of customs, imports and
their revenue will continue. At some
lamrth hn discussed the need of
economy.
"The finances of the Federal gov
emment must be readjusted," said he.

GERMAN CRUISER IN PORT

A Problem.
Newport News, Va. The German
auxiliary cruiser Prlnz Eitel Friedrich,
after a marine wrecking scouring of
Pacific and Atlantic Oceans which cul
minted in the sinking of an American
sailing ship In tfie South Atlantic
Ocean January 28 last limped Into this
port and anchored for supplies and
repairs. She brought with her rescued
crews and passengers of American,
British, French and Russian ships and
lies at anchor in Hampton Roads
proud of her trophies of war that
crunch the bottom of the sea but In
a state of mechanical exhausting from
the strain of a 5,200-mile journey. i
The German cruiser began her
scouting for the ships of the enemies
of the Fatherland at Tsing Tsau,
China, la3t November under master
ship of Commander Thierlchens and
put into this historic port with the
admitted sinking of eight merchant
ships, three British, three French, one
Russian and one American. The sink
ing of the American ship, the William
P. Frye, a sailing vessel bound from
Seattle to Queenstown with 55,000 tons
of wheat, most concerned American
port officials here and the Washing
ton Government.
H. H. Kiehne of Baltimore is the
master of the American ship and af
ter leaving the Eitel Friedrich with
Customs Collector Hamilton he told
dramatic story of his experience.
With him were his wife and two chil
dren. :
"Despite my protestations that I
was the American master of an Amer
ican ship, the German cruiser Eitel
Friedrich sank the William r. Frye
On the morning of January 28, blowing

Kiehne. '
When the German cruiser entered
this port all souls on board were in

had been well cared for. The cruiser
might well have been flying many

London. Just as, the French attack
ed the Germans in the west when
Field Marshal von Hindenburg madb ;
his drive from East Prussia last '
month, so the British Army operating
In Flanders has undertaken the task
of relieving" pressure on Its Russian
ally, now that the Russians again are
being attacked in North Poland. This
is part of the general plan of the
Allied generals. When one Is attack
ed the other attacks to compel the
Germans and Austrlans to keep strong
forces at every point and endeavor to
prevent them from sending new troops
where they could do the most good.
The Germans now are attempting to
crush the Russians. For this purpose
they are reported to have an army
estimated at nearly a half million men
marching along the roads toward
Przasnysz. To prevent this army
from being strengthened further the
British are thrusting at the German
line north of La Bassee and besides re
porting the capture of the village of
Neuve Chappells it Is asserted thf
they have advanced beyond that town.
The battle taking place In the East,
experts say, is the biggest pitched bat
tle of the war, no less than a million
men being engaged. The Germans In
their official report claim an advance,
while Petrograd considers It likely
that the Russians will have to fall
back beyond Przasnyz as they did last
month, before making a stand. It
probably will be days before a definite
result is attained in this battle.
Meanwhile another German army
has appeared on the Pillca River
front, south of the Vistula, probably,
military observers say, with the Idea
of Inducing Grand Duke Nicholas to
withdraw men from the North, where
the real blow is being struck.
Farther south, along the foothills of
the Carpathians, fighting between the
Austrians and Russians continues In
wintry weather. Each side claims the
other is doing the attacking hut it is
believed here, that as the Austrians in
itiated this battle, they probably are
still the aggressors. , ,

Repalra Are Completed.
Newport News, Va. Commander
Thlerichsen of the converted cruiser
Prlnz Eitel Friedrich, which went Into
drydock for repairs, submitted two
statements In German to Collector of
Customs Hamilton of this port. One
stated his reason for sinking In South
Atlantic waters January 28 last the
American sailing ship William P.
Frye and with her cargo of 5,200 tons
of wheat consigned to Queenstown,
The other related to he length of time
that will be required to repair his ship.
Collector Hamilton announced that
he regarded the answers of the Ger
man commander as state papers and
that he would forward them to Wash
ington. It was learned, however, that
the commander of the German ship
frankly has stated to American Gov
ernment officials that he . sunk the
American ship Frye because he re
garded her cargo as contraband of
war.
In the communication relating to the
repairs necessary on the Eitel Fried-
rich, It was believed that the German
commander stated that the vessel
could be made seaworthy within a few
days or a week at most. Whether he
made the statement that he wished to
depart as soon as American naval off!
cers could pass on repairs that are to
be made was not disclosed. The Ger
man commander previously made it
clear, however, that It was not his in
tention to Intern his ship.
