THIRD LOAN IS
PLANNED FOR YEAR

Melbourne, Australia, July 11.-A
third Federal loan for war is to be
foated before August 1. though it is
not proposed this time to ask for any
fixed amount. On the occasion of the
first loan, the government asked for
s25, 100000 and it received s65,0O0,-
900; and on the second occasion $780,
100000 was asked for and the re-
sponse was 05.00O, 900.
Parliament has authorized the rails
ing Of s250,00O.000 and it is expected
the people Of the Commonwealth will
as before respond literally. The gov
ernment will take as much up to that
amount as the public care to lend it.
The rate OF interest will be four
and one-half per cent. the price of
issue will be at par and the loan will
run until 1925

GOOD ROADS IN THE
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Manila, June 3O.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press. )-The Phil
ippines now boast of S,2016 kilo-
meters Of roads now being used for
traffic, an increase Of more than 800
per cent in the past five years. The
credit for this is shared by the ad-
ministrations of Governor General
Harrison and former Governor Cen
eral Forbes, the latter having initiated
an active campaign Of road building
which his successor pushed so sue
cessfully that last year saw the con-
struction of a greater road mileage
than any year in Philippine history.
There are more than 5000 kilo-
meters OF first class road in the islands
and it is road of a quality of which
any state in the United States might
be proud. There are some provinces
in which the heaviest of automobile
trucks can travel from one end to the
other in the hardest OF storms with
out suffering the slightest inconveni-
ence because of mud or washed out
highways. In most provinces during
the dry season, it is possible to travel
anywhere in light motor car.

New York, July g.. (Special)
Come mid-August, and some 600,
more or less. rollicking sea rockies
will be rolling ON board the two bat
teships which will be at this port to
receive the New York and New Jer-
sey contingent, these vessels being
the Maine, now receiving ship at the
New York Navy Yard, and the Ken
tucky, now at Guantanamo, Cuba.
While the amateur sailors of this
district are trying to find their ham,
mock hooks on board these two bat
tleships seven other battleships of
the reserve fleet will be gathering to
their steel hosoms the civilians who
have been enrolled from other states
The ports where these collections will
be taken up are Charleston, Norfolk,
Philadelphia and Boston. Then for
blue water and four weeks Of nlan-of-
war life.
At this port nearly every profess
sion has been represented in the en-
rolment-bankers, brokers. lawyers
ministers. mechanical, mining and
civil engineers, secretaries. superin-
tendents. artists, newspaper men, ETC.
But while animated with boundless
enthusiasm for this outing on govern
ment vessels which cost many millions
to build and many thousand dollars a
day to maintain, there has been a fly
in this ointment Of anticipation What
about the work? Do the recruits
have to holystone decks. stoke the
fires. peel potatoes, help the cook,
sweep the decks or take on any other
of the multifarious duties that go to
make up the everyday life on board
a man-of-war?
No Menial Duties.
This question has been furtively
asked by almost every applicant
not that it makes and difference, you
know, for of course we want to learn
the game, but
Well. the assistant secretary of the

navy has made reply, one that will
bring JOY to these troubled hearts.
Probably these questions had been
brought to his notice. At any rate
be has caused this announcement to
be made:
I'm view of the fact that the men
who are enrolling for the civilian
naval training cruise this summer are
invariably men of brains and above
the ordinary average of intelligence,
it has been thought useless to nflict
on them the menial duties which any
unframed man can perform.
1t would he silly to take up the
four weeks these men are on ship
board in teaching them how to shovel
coal, for instnace. We expect these
men who go on this cruise will nearly
all be capable of some day being
petty of commissioned officers, and it
would be waste of time to set them
to washing dishes or doing similar
labor.
"Generally speaking. it is intended
to organize, mess, berth, etc, these
volunteers after the methods employ

Of ship life as far as seems necessary.

ENLISTED men TO
RETAIN MEMBERSHIP
Commercial Club to Waive Dues and
Retain Membership of All Menu
bers Serving as Militiamen.

In line with the action Of so many
of the local concerns in extending
privileges to the boys now serving
their country in the militia, the Com
mercial club Of Grand Forks at a re-
cent meeting of the board of directors
made provision whereby the member
ship in that organization of all militia
men would be retained without the
payment Of dues.
Such action as this on the part of
our business firms and other associa-
tlons cannot be too highly commend
ed. 1t is only fair that some action
like this be taken by every organiza-
ton to which these men belong in
order that they may feel secure as to

To that end the navy department has

SO that recruits who have aptitude
for such subjects as navigation, sig

portunity to specialize along these
lines. Boat drill will be given, land
ings made, and recruits taught the
manual Of arms and military forma-

AS distinguished from their Platts-

will have no trenches to dig, no
camps to police, no long hikes to

will have dry hammock to sleep in

with no mosquitoes or other insects
