MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee Will
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

Washington.-Creati of a central
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
J. P. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, 'for all their
boosted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it."
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
date large part of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quanti-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added. had paid their
! way in the war "by the straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails
Ing loans" AS result, he predicted
that the end Of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.

DISCOVER METHOD
TO COMBAT U-b0AT
AMERICAN INVENTORS FIND WAY
TO ANNiHllATE SUBMARINES
AND FREE THE SEAS.
Discovery Meets All Navy Tests and
is Practical Solution OF Problem,
According to Chairman of
Naval Advisory Board.

New York.-American inventors
have solved the U-Boat problem, hav-
ing announced that, after months OF
study and practical work, plans have
been perfected that will lead to the
humiliation of German submarines
and the freeing of the seas of the u
boat terror.
program to stop the ravages OF
German submarines on maritime COM
merce has been submitted TO the gov
eminent by the naval advisory board.
This was announced on May by w.
i. Saunders, chairman of the board.
He said the plan, in his opinion, was
a practical solution of the U-boat prob
lem. He said it was not purely theoret-
ical. but that it had been proved by
actual tests along the Atlantic coast.
The scheme is not merely defen-
sive measure against the submarine.
Mr.. Saunders said 1T called for Of
fensive operations on an extensive
scale"
Thomas A. Edison. who is president
of the board, did not originate the
scheme, Mr.. Saunders said But the
inventive wizard, he said. had been
working tirelessly to perfect its many
phases. Since declaration of war
against Germany Mr.. Edison and his
assistants have been trying thousands
of schemes suggested TO block Ger
many's undersea warfare, now admit
tedly the greatest menace to the Euro
pean allies and their new American
partner, the United States.
Behind the program submitted to
the navy department is all of the Edi-
sonian practicability and all of Edi-
sons definite skill in accomplishing
the seemingly impossible. Announce
ment of the scheme by the chairman
of the board dispelled doubts that it
might be merely another academic idea
devoid of practical use. And that the
board made experiments before max
ing their find public, left little doubt
in the minds of the navy officials that
at last the wars greatest problem has
been unraveled.
If the plan works, as few doubt II
will, American brains will have done
what European cdnHOnS anu DuiietS
have failed to do in three years of
warfare.
No announcement was made of the
details of the scheme.
Mr.. Saunders explained that an
nouncement of it had been made at
this time to allay the fears of Ameri-
cans aroused by recent expressions by
American and British officials that the
U-boat snake was beginning to crush
the limbs of traffic between the United
States and It's European allies.
Fifteen subcommittee Of the board
have been concentrating their efforts
on the U-boat problem, which now has
been solved to the satisfaction of the
boards head.
Mr.. Saunders took pains to dlspel
any suggestions that he was theoretical
| in his findings.
"One part of the scheme involves
destruction of submarines; the other
involves destruction on land" he ex-
planned.

Washlngton.-IIigh praise for Amer

Attorney General Gregory In state
ment Sunday night revealing that only
10 alien enemies have been arrested
under the presidents proclamation.
About half Of those arrested were
charged with espionage or attempt to
foment disloyalty or disorder. The

be dangerous at large. The attorney
general renews the admonition that
alien residents exercise scrupulous
care In their daily activities. and reit-
Grated that the vigilance of the govern
ment agents has not been relaxed.

bill authorizing the president to put

Conferees on the war army bill are
expected to make their report in day

age limit compromise is expected to
be either between 81 and 80 or 81 and
81. The senate provision which would
permit Colonel Roosevelt to organize
force for service in France probably
will meet strong opposition.

MISUNDERSTANDING McAdoo tele-

Loan Subscriptions Pour In.
To all clearing house associations in
the country Mr.. McAdoo sent a tele-
gram in which he said
The amount of the initial loan has
been determined by the needs of the
government and not arbitrarily. The
enthusiastic and patriotic cooperation
of the banks and bankers of the coun-
try will guarantee the success of the
undertaking"
The result of the first announcement
of the loan has been deluge of sub

Most of these came in by wire to the
treasury. Virtually every large city
and every state In the Union was rep

this government to Italy.
Subscriptions to the second offering
