Drawn in black on the inside of this glove, so Jose reveals, is a map showing the loca tion of the pool.

At that very moment a plan set on foot under his direction is being put into execution. This is destined to cause more than a little disturbance in Limasito, and eventually will bring to Billie not only much danger but much sorrow as well. The storm, indeed, is even then agthering. Not all of these were killed, but many have gone over and some were transfered to other batalions.

Dr. Mullin was one of the 10 highest claimants for honors out of 1,000 who passed examinations for commissions in the medical corps of the navy last June in Wash ington. OMAHA GOAL OF VICTORY LOAN LIKELY TO BE SIX BILLION Last Financial Milestone Be fore Bond Issue Passed by Collection of . Billion Taxes. Washington, March 23. With the announcement that collections from the first 25 per cent installment pay ment of income and profits taxes amounted to $1,001,000,000 and gov ernment go higher with later re ports, the last financial milestone preceding the Victory Liberty loan had been passed, and it seemed prob able that the loan will be for ap proximately $6,000,000,000. Governors of federal reserve banks attending the conference which closed last night " were told that although official statements of the amount of the loan heretofore have referred to "five or six bil lions," the higher figure was nearer correct. Treasury officials empha sized, however, that the amount of the loan had not actually been de termined. Tax Yield Will 2?ass Billion. Tax collections of a little more than a billion dollars indicated that the total tax yield this year from income and profits levies would be more than $4,000,000,000 and might reach the $4,700,000,000 estimate of congress at the time of enacting the revenue bill. The first installment payments will bring into the trea sury only about $200,000,000 net at this time since $800,000,000 is re quired to pay. certificates of in debtedness maturing coincidentally with the tax payments. In spite of the belief that the reasury would make $6,000,000,000 the goal of the Victory loan, cam paign officials pointed out that $4, 855,000,000 certificates of indebted ness were outstanding to be redeem ed out of proceeds from the loan and thev said that probably another $1,000,000,000 must be issued before loan receipts begin to pour in. Pro ceeds from the certificates will be required to pay ordinary govern ment expenses for two months, now running at the rate of $1,200,000,000 a month, and a redeem a little more than $600,000,000 of certificates fall ing due before May 6. Treasury Balance $1,700,000,000. The treasury has available to meet current cash requirements about $1, 700,000,000, a rather high net balance, not including all the tax receipts from last week's collections. Offi cials however, do not desire to let the cash working balance get below a billion dollars, for this is less than a month's expenses. Indications now are that unless the victory loan is largely over-sub scribed, the treasury will have to be gin within a few months after the campaign to market new securities. selling them mainly to banks, as a means of meeting future government AMUSEMENTS.
