BANKS IN RUSH TO TAKE

It Is Possible That the Issues VIII
Be Enlarged To Permit All Banks
Who Wish To Subscribe
To Do So.

Washington. - The administration
was given much encouragement as to
the prospects of success of the war
financing, when the banks of the
country, by food of letters and tele-
grams, in one day oversubscribed the
$200.000,000 issue Of Treasury certifi-
Gates placed on the market by Secre-
tary McAdoo.
The interest rate, 1t has been def
nitely decided, will be per cent, and
the first issue of 100000, 900, indica-
tions are, will be speedily followed by
other large issues.
Hundreds of banks, the Federal Re
serve Board announced, are yet to be
heard from. Subscriptions already
received exceed by many millions the
$200,000,000 preliminary issue contem-
plated.
The proceeds of the $1,000 900 is
sue will be called for this week, and
will be distributed among the u re-
serve banks.
The certificates were offered, not to
individuals, but to banking institu-
tions.
1t is possible that the issue will be
enlarged to permit all banks who wish
to subscribe to do so. To avoid de-
rangement of the money market, Sec
retary McAdoo has decided not to have
the proceeds sent either to Washing
ton or New York, plan which had
been under consideration, but to have
them distributed, according to the To-
cality of the subscribing banks, among
the reserve banks.

between the French and the Germans
all along the southern front in France.
The French War Office, in late COM

Between ST. Quentin and the Disc
there has been great activity by both
artilleries, particularly in the region
to the north of Crugies.
ITO the north of the Aisne our
troops, harassing the enemy, aave con-
tinued to progress toward the Chemin
des Danes. We have occupied the
village of Sancy.
"In Champagne we have captured
several important points Of support in
the grove of Moronvilliers, notwith-
standing the stubborn resistance of
the enemy.
HE have made, since the 18th Of
April, between Scissors and Auberive,
more than $4,000 prisoners. The num-

NO BOOKMAK|NG
At COUNTY FAIRS
Court Of Appeals Decides
Against the Practice.
AN OPINION IN A TEST CASE
Was Correct in Adjudging the Acri-
cultural Society Guilty Of Per
mIttinq Bookmaking at the
Rockville Fair.
Annapolis

The Maryland Court of Appeals has
handed down a decision sustaining
decision of the Circuit Court for Mont
gomery county that bookmaklns on
horse races in the county is unlawful
under the existing laws.
To test the question, the Montgom-
ery County Agricultural Society per
mitted a bet to be made on a race at
the annual fair at Rockville last Sep
tember. The grand jury, which met
last November, returned an indlct-
ment charging the agricultural society
with permitting bookmaking on its
grounds and Chief Judge Hammond
Urner and Associate Judges Edward {.
Peter and Glenn H. WorthlnSton, be
fore whom the case was tried, unanl~
mously adjudged the society guilty
and imposed a fine of $50 and costs
It was contended on the part of the
agricultural society that inasmuch as
the courts had decided that the sec
ton of a law authorizing the circuit
courts Ol luC StdlC " AoooS PSA---N-
for bookmaking at agricultural fairs
after certain preliminaries had been
complied with, was unconstitutional
in that it delegated to the courts
purely ministerial duty, the whole law
fell, leaving in effect an old law under
which bookmaking was lawful during
a certain number of days each year,
but the State took the position the
striking down of the section referred
to did not affect the remainder of the
law, which prohibits bookmaking un-
der any circumstances.
The effect of the decision will be
that so long as the existing laws are
in effect there will be no bookmakins
on horse races at the Rockville Fair.
or any other place in Montgomery
county. The decision also affects other
sections of the State.

Powers Unlimited.
The mission, of which Rene Viviani,
Vice-Premier and Minister of Justice,
is the official head and Marshal Joffre
q member, brings no written instruc-
tons from the French Government,
the Ministry having decided to give
its members unlimited powers to
negotiate with the United States on
all subjects, military, naval and fnan-
cial.
1t is proposed to discuss the send
ing of an American expeditionary
force to France. Marshal Joffre and
other military members will indicate
to the American officials with whom
they are to confer several important
military reasons which they consider
renders the sending of such force
advisable. The most important Of
these reasons is found in the moral
effect to be had from the presence of
American troops and the American
flag on the battlefelds of France.
Plan Worked Out.
The French idea of an American ex-
pedition calls for fighting force sup
ported by auxiliary services, such as
railway stats, railway material, base
repair shops, telegraph and telephone
lines, automobile transport and a
strong aviation section. The French
Government is ready to offer what
ever may be considered necessary to
exist in sea operations, including the
use for naval purposes of any or all
ports in France. The Ministry of
Marine has worked out for submis-
sion to the American Government a
comprehensive plan for overseas
transports for both army and navy
purposes and for the provisioning Of
the civil population.
Financially, France needs loans Of
$100,000000 monthly to be spent in
the United States. The detailed Off
cial information on this subject will
be submitted to the American Govern
ment at the conferences to be held in
