BILLION Is VOTED BY THE
 COMMONS
Blank Check Which May Reach Five Billion Dollars Voted By the House of Commons for British War Chest.

LONDON. June 2l.-The House Of Commons adjourned tonight after unanimously giving the first reading to the bill providing the new chan cellor of the exchequer Reginald Me Kenna. with a blank check which may amount to a maximum of five billion dollars. The government is not only empowered to raise two hundred and fifty million pounds as deemed nee essary to yap the cost of war, but as much more os is needed.
 The chancellor Of the excheQuer made a long explanation of the pro posed loan and in closing said that on the technical question as to the limit of the new loan 1t would be dangerous to disclose the necessity for not fixing any definite sum but he added that the only figure which could be put on the bill was a maximum which would cover all requirements of the new loan, including provisions enab ling subscribers to previous war loans and holders of cOnsols to participate The new loan will be issued at par and bear interest at the rate of foul and one-half percent to be redeemed at the option of the government be tween 1925 and 1945
