FIVE BILLIONS ARE
 SOUGHT BY JULY 1
WILL BE IN ADDITION TO THE $3,666, 100000 PROCEEDS FROM
 LIBERTY BONDS.
MUST BE RAISED BY BONDS
Two More Loans To Be FEoated Be- tween February 1 and July i, 1918 Will Be in Addition To the
 War Taxes.

Washington.-Congress will have which convened Monday means Of col lecting from the American people be- tween now and July l about S5,00O,- 000,000, in addition to the $3,666, 000,- 900 from Liberty bonds already au- thorized but yet to be issued, the $1,- 900, 100000 or less expected from war savings campaigns and about $3,000,- 100000 from war taxes.
 Most congressional leaders believe the $5,000,000, balance must be provided principally by issue of bonds, and Secretary McAdoo has told mem- bers of Congress that he heartily fa- yors that method. Chairman Kitchin of the House ways and means com mittee, on his return to Washington, will take up the question immediately and the committee within a week or two is expected to frame new bond measure. If this plan is finally adopt ed the country probably will be called on to akGcsD two more big Liberty bond isshes between February 1 and July l, aggregating more than -$S, S,50O,- 000, ,00O
 Another big finance question which will receive the early attention of Congress is the continuance of loans to the allies. Ii the present rate of extending credits to the allies is con tinued the $7,000,0O 000 authorized credits will be exhausted by July and Congress will have to decide whether to continue the loans after that time. Six billion dollars will be required for the fiscal year beginning July l, if the rate of $500, ,000 ,000 a month is kept up.
 Wide difference of opinion exists in Congress over the, question of wheth- CT the bulk of the s5.000,000000 should be raised by taxation or bond issues, but those advocating the issue of se- curities expect strong support from the administration. They are prepar- ed to argue that the internal revenue bureau already is everburdened with the immense task Of creating machin- cry for collection of the s3.400, ,000, 900 war revenue expected before July l, and that great confusion would re- suit from the imposition of new taxes before opportunity has been given for the existing levies to adjust themselves to the economic situation.
 Taxation advocates are expected to make a fight for establishment of new taxes on certain business lines and for increased income and excess profits rates. Under the present law the estimated receipts from incomes is s1.200,000,000 and from excess profits s1.220,000, 900.

AMERICAN ARMY IS
 MAGNIFICENT BODY
THEIR DEVELOPMENT IN THE SCIENCE OF WAR IN FRANCE
 HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

With the American Army in France.-The development of the men of the first American contingent in France in the science of war was de- scribed as truly remarkable by the general commanding the division.
 '.I have been in the army since 1 was boy" he said. During that and many foreign soldiers, but never in my life have l seen anything equal ing the men now here. When my di- vision landed we had shock-headed boys-by the hundreds. They were clerks, mechanics, day laborers, far mer boys, old and young, from every walk of life. Some spoke English and some did not There were Poles, Bo- hemians, Russians, Jews, Gentiles.
 ''They are game to the core and their one idea is to beat the Germans and give them good beating. There isn't streak of yellow in the whole lot, and their morale, even in the trenches, is fine.
 Here is an example: One night re- gently an officer called for volunteers He asked for 20 men. The whole com pany volunteered on the spot. Twen- ty were picked and lamp black was provided for them to put on their bay onets so that the light would not shine on them.
 a who had been in the army for four months, stopped moment, turned to comrade and said: Gee, if l can run this into one of those Boches, l be. he'll get blood poisoning, and l hope he does The boy knew the place he was to patrol was extremely dan gerous and that he might be casual ty within 30 minutes.
 "At another time had just passed a line jof soldiers walking along road in the rain, when 1 came across one who was hatless, undiscovered and limp. I stopped my automobile and asked him what was the matter. The soldier stood on one foot, the other being injured. He saluted and said his horse had started to run into a stone wall, so he threw him down, but fell under him. That's the spirit we are getting. The man was badly hurt, but even that did not make him forget his training of few weeks.
 ..I was returning at that time from the hospital, where saw few wound ed men. Some of the mems proudest and most valuable possessions on earth are bullets and pieces of shrap- mel which thoughtful surgeons saved for. them on extracting. Every man wanted to exhibit the cause of his wound. Their thoughts were all about recovering, rejoining their regiments and getting a chance to pay back the enemy in his own coin.''
