Secretary Wilson's Appeal .to .the
Workers of the Country to
Buy Bonds.
Washington, D. C, June 13. Small
subscribers investing in $50 and $100
bonds ' have swelled the Liberty loan
nearer the $2,000,000,000 mark,
treasury officials said today, and ad
ditional thousands of these are looked
for before Friday night, when the J
subscriptions period closes. It is esti
mated that subscribers to the loan
now total 2,000,000 persons.
To workers of the country, Secre
tary Wilson sent this appeal:
"If you cannot buy a bond outright
you can make arrangements with your
employers or some banker to buy it
on the installment plan or a number
of you can club together, each putting
in his mite, to buy a bond. Every
dollar counts. Let me appeal to you,
as you value our free institutions, to
make every sacrifice necessary to buy
a bond, and do it now."
Final Effort in New York.
New York, June 13. Red fire, brass
bands, oratory and other things that
mark the close of a bitterly fought
political contest will be used here to
bring in subscriptions to the Liberty
loan of 1917 up to the last minute.
Everywhere today the streets be
gan to bloom with "buy a bond" bunt
ing and preparations were being com
pleted for the big rally in Union
square tonight.
Banks will keep open tonight and
tomorrow night until midnight or as
much later as necessary, to receive
subscriptions.
Activities of the Boy Scouts hav
resulted in total subscriptions here of
$1,277,000 by 6,000 persons. In one
of the public schools the pupils sub
scribed for $10,000 worth.

THREE BILLION
WAR BUDGET UP
TO PRESIDENT
Senate Passes Measure for Largest
Sum Ever Appropriated by
Legislative Body for
Nation's Defense.
Washington, June 13. Accepting
the house compromise for acquisition
of the ' Jamestown exposition site as
a naval base, the senate today finally
enacted the $3,281,000,000 war bud
get bill and sent it to the president.
The bill, which carries the greatest
sum ever appropriated at one time
by any legislative body, has been the
storm center of the present session
of congress and went through with a
final row over the shipping board pro
visions.
Objections to the conference report
bcause it failed to make it impossible
for the shipping board to remove
Major General Goethals from office
should they so desire was made by
Senators Lodge, of Massachusetts
and Smith, of Michigan.
"Congress and the country have
confidence in General Goethals and
mean to keep him where he is, but
that is not the plan of the shipping
board," said Senator Lodge. The bil
as originally passed by the senate
provided for General Goethals by
name, but that was cut out in the
house.
Senator Martin, in charge of the
bill, assured the senate that there
was no intention to remove Genera!
Goethals.
Senator Smith attacked the ship
ping board, saying:
"Board members have appeared be
fore our committee several times and
if they have any large capacity they
have yet to demonstrate it."
In addition to funds for innumer
able military purposes, including $100
a month for men in reserve officers
training camps, the bill" appropriates
$750,000,000 for an American mer
chant marine.

influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's

NEVILLE NOT
OSTED FOR
COLONELCY
Governor Declares Politics No Factor
in Training Nebraska Guard
Officers.
Line Commissions Not to Be Consid
ered Until Regiment is Fully
Recruited.
Lincoln, Neb., June 13. "I am not
pulling any political wires to secure
the colonelcy of the proposed Sixth
Nebraska regiment," said Governor
Keith Neville here this afternoon,
with reference to a report published
in an Omaha newspaper.
"The line officers for the Sixth Ne
braska regiment have not been con
sidered and will not be considered
until the entire regiment is recruited
to full strength. The selection of
line officers will be' under the direct
supervision of the war department
and it is silly to intimate that polit
ical consideration will enter into the
selection. There will be no politics
in it."
Friends of Governor Neville have
known for some that he has had a
"hankering" to serve his country in
any, capacity in which he will be of
the most service. He comes of a fam
ily which rendered distinguished serv
ice to the country in the army, and
has himself had six years of training
in one of the finest military colleges
of the country, situated at Annapolis,
Md.
"The report that I am to resign pre
supposes that the line officers of the
regiment have been considered, and
that is absolutely not a fact," said
Governor Neville.

American flags can be secured at the
