Possible That Senate viii Ad-

Sad Feature of Situation Isl
That Legislators Have Mott

Themselves,
ESPECIAL olsrArcn TO MORNING Jousa.Ll

Santa Fe, May G.--Today the dead
lock between the two houses over the
defense hill appeared to be as far
from being broken as it was last
evening. However, senators appear
nearer to an understanding to ad-
journ sine die tomorrow whether the
house concurs or not. This would
leave the legislature without any
provision for their pay or mileage,
otherwise, declare some of the lead
ers.
Senate bill No. S, which has be.
come law, clothes the governor with
ample powers to draw on all the re-
sources and the credit of the state in
case of an emergency and practically
leaves his powers more unlimited
than if senate substitute for house
bill No. 1, the defense act, is passed.
The agricultural extension bill, now
law, gives the State college the means
to do all that could be accomplished
at this time for agricultural pre-
paredness, and the vocational extern
sion bill, also q law by this time, makes
possible the organization of every
community through its schools, in an
industrial way. The national guard
bill has passed both houses, and
doubtless the governor will sign it..
The executive can continue the war
board In power, whether house bill
No. | passes or not.
Question of Money Only.
OF course the question arises as to
how the governor is to get the money
with which to finance the cropping
and other expenditures necessary to
putting his otherwise unlimited
power into effect. That is matter
over which good lawyers differ. 1t
is certain that he cannot issue bonds
and how TO float any large amount
of certificates of indebtedness is a
matter not disclosed just now
Reinburg and Kaseman are the re-
publican leaders in the present sem
ate fight and Barth is standing
sauarely with them. They recognize
the gravity of the position they have
taken and are ready to assume full
responsibility to the people of New
Mexico in so doing.
Should Pay as II Goes--Kakseman
The senate when it reconvened last
evening at S o'clock made a substan-
tial change in the senate substitute
for house bill No. /. by striking out
sections 9, 3, 4, and 6, providing
for a half-million dollar s per cent
bond issue and inserting in lieu
thereof provisions for a five year
issue of certificates Of Indebtedness
at per cent, to be paid by an annual
tax levy OF three-quarters of mill
In urging this amendment, Barth
said that the interest on $500, 900
bonds at the end of forty years
would amount to $1,2O0,O00, SO as to
make the entire cost to the taxpayers
$1,700,000. Reinburg said that the
certificates might be paid off In two
years, and if the war continues the
state will be called upon to spend
much larger sums OF mnoey, when it
will be time enough to speak of bond

proval or disapproval of the camp site
or sites decided upon.
That the camp for training of the
soldiers will be a model one in every
respect is certain. The camp will be
arranged in such way as to insure
healthful surroundings. Kitchens are
to face the officers quarters. A hos
pital building is to be one of the first
erected and crematories for disposal
of garbage and sewage.
Enthusiasm Stirred Up.
Considerable enthusiasm has been
generated as the result of official an
nouncement that the soldiers are
coming to Albuquerque to train for
the war That the citizens will dem
onstrate their patriotism by doing ev-
erything possible to put the camp I'M
der way is a certainty. The financial
end of the situation will be met
promptly, and in the event any con-
siderable sum of money is required
Immediately. it is likely that a finance
committee will be appointed with a
view to raising the amount required
without delay.
Chairman Carr, of the committee,
who is himself retired captain of the
regular United States army, will de-
vote considerable time and attention
to the camp site matters today, as will

Secretary Daniels Expresses
Confidence, but Has No

Which to Base It.
tnv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LsssEo wisxl

| Washington, May 6.--Advices from
the navy consulting board concerning
progress towards finding a solution
for the submarine menace, referred to
in New York yesterday by Chairman
Saunders of the board, had not
reached the navy department tonight,
but were expected tomorrow. Secre-
tary Daniels said that while no infor-
nation will be made public as to ex-
periments which have been in prog
ress, he was satisfied that American
Ingenuity eventually would check the
undersea boats.
Mr.. Daniels, however, spoke with
out knowledge of the specific devices
with which the members of the con-
sulting board have been experiment
ing and his confidence was based
wholly upon the record for mechani-
cal inventiveness which American en-
gineers and scientists have main
tanned for years.
Corrects Wrong Impression.
A telegram to the Associated Press
from Lawrence Addcks of Elizabeth,
N. j., chairman of the special naval
problems committee of the consulting
board. served to clear up somewhat
misapprehension concerning Mr..
Saunders statements yesterday. The
message follows:
Il fear some of the statements in
the morning papers regarding the ma
val consulting board may unwittingly
give wrong impressions regarding
progress in combating the submarine
menace and that conclusions are like
ly to be drawn that the problem has
been either fully solved or given up
as hopeless.
'While it is evident that specific in
formation as to progress made would
be contrary to public policy at this
time, as chairman of the committee of
the board dealing specifically with
the submarine menace, feel justified
in saying that good and satisfactory
progress has been made and that we
have now under practical trial some
devices of great promise.

Washington, May 6.--The golden
loan continued today. Officials esti-
mated that since 2 o'clock Saturday,
when the last compilation was made,
offers had been received by wire to-
falling as much as the big aggregate
made public last night, $172,000,0 900.

total thus far reaches 100000 900

been heard, except indirectly. Off
cials believe that a great army of men
of moderate means are anxious to in
vest in the bonds and to this end a
program is under consideration to en-
able everyone to participate.
Chance for Everybody.
"It is intended to make the bonds
of such denominations" Secretary NC
Adoo said today, "and the payments
on such easy terms as will give every
inhabitant of the land the opportun-
ity to help. Announcement will be
made in a few days"
Mr.. McAdoo is very anxious of plac-
ing the bonds with the actual invest
ing public rather than the banks, and
in this he has the endorsement of the
federal reserve board. To have banks
absorb even a considerable part of the
Offering, officials feel might be injuri-
Gus to the financial system of the
country by tying up funds which ought
to be kept in fairly liquid condition.
To encourage individual subscrip-
tion, treasury officials have approved

stating that the wearer Is an owner
of libery bond. One button viii be
given to each subscribed. The legend
on the button has not been finally ap-
proved but it may read about as fol-
lows:
II own liberty bond. Do you?"
Individuals Must Help.
The need of individual subscriptions
to the loan was emphasized tonight in
a statement by Secretary McAdoo, in
which he said
although the response thus far by
banks, bankers and citizens generally
has been tremendous, it must not be
assumed that the great bond issue will
be subscribed without effort. The
loan will not be carried to success by
its own momentum.
Every man and women In the
country must get behind this loan,
must give financial aid and active sup
port If we desire the result to be
achieved. The splendid patriotism ev-
idenced by the thousands of telegrams
received at the treasury department
the past few days is most inspiring,
but this world struggle for the vindi-
cation and supremacy of democracy
cannot be won unless the financial
sinews of war are put in ample meas
ure at the disposal of the govern
ment.
ut is not possible, of course, for
every man and woman to subscribe
for a bond, however small the denom-
but it is possible for those
who are unable to subscribe to influ-
ence somebody else who is able to
to take at least one bond.
Everyone can do share in this great
national undertaking

John Spargo, one of the leading
Socialists of the world, who has made
his home at Old Bennington for sever
al years past, has quit the party, ac-
cording to the New York Times of
Yesterday, which contains the follow
ing in part:
In letter in which he declares
the Socialist Party here is the great
est obstacle to the progress of Social
ism in America. John Spargo, lectur-
er, worker IN the cause, and writer
OF many works on Socialism, has re-
signed from the party. Mr.. Spargo
frankly states he believes the organi-
zation is committed to a program that
is "unneutral, un-American, and pro-
German" He charges that the So
cialists' anti-war proclamation was
simply an evasive apology for the
whole German policy Of ilrightfulness
and international anarchy His letter
was sent yesterday to Adolph Germer
of Chicago, the international Secre-
tary of the party. Mr.. Spargo was one
of the FIVE leaders who made up the
National Executive Committee, and
his writings on Socialism have been
translated into many languages.
Mr. Spargo intimated that he
would probably join with others in
bringing about a new Socialist organi-
zation-'a reorganization of the social
democratic forces of the country up
on a sound program Of democratic
public ownership.

Washington. June 1.-The National
Guard will be on the French front IN
time for the autumn drive, according
to indications at the war department
tonight. The guardsmen are expected
to be the first reinforcement for the

Word to this effect was spread
through the war department following
an announcement by Secretary Baker
that only sixteen of the thirty-two new
training camps would be of wooden
construction. These will be in the
northern states. The men at the other
sixteen camps will be under canvas.
These camps will be located in the
southern states. Secretary Baker
made the following statement.
The original plan was 10 build
thirty-two cantonments. or divisional
encampments. The department com
manders were called on to appoint
borads to study the available places
and make recommendation which
would lead to the selection of thirty
two such places
"The quartermaster generals de-
partment, cooperating with the coun-
Gil of national defense committee,
studied the project and discovered
that the cost of bpilding the number
of cantonments contemplated would
be beyond the possibilities of the APP
preparation that congress is now con
sidering. 1t was further discovered
that it would be impracticable to build
that number on account of lack OF la
Dor, material and transportation IA
cilities. The supply of tentage has
increased to such an extent that 1t
will be possible to have some OF the
eneampments in tents.
"The war college recommended that
the number be reduced to sixteen; the
places, however, have not yet been
definitely selected, the chief OF staff
being in communication with the de-
partment commanders with a view to
make the selections.
AS at present contemplated, the
general staff plan is said to be to send
