MILLIONS NEEDED FOR
ALL WAR EXPENDITURES
PLANS NOW UNDERWAY
FOR RAISING MONEY.
Will Undertake to Finance Our
Allies by Taxes and Issuing
More Bonds.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Congres-
sional leaders were informed by
Secretary McAdoo that it would be
necessary for them to authorize at
this and the winter session of con-
gress an additional 100000 600
for war expenditures to June 80.
1918, including further loans to the
allies. Five billions in bonds al
ready have been authorized, and a
S2,OOO,OOO,00O war tax bill is pend
ing now in the Senate.
Within an hour after the secre-
tary had conferred with Represen-
tative Kitchin, chairman of the
house ways and means committee.
plans were under way to raising the
money. A meeting OF the ways and
means committee was called for Au-
gust rs, and arrangements made for
the house, now taking three-day re-
cess. to resume its regular meetings
on August 27 and expedite financial
legislation.
Issuance of between s3,OOO.OOO.-
600 and s4,000,OOO,OOO in bonds to
meet new allied loans, authorization
of an additional $5OO.OOO.OOO in
taxes to be added to the bill before
the senate. probably will be propos-
ed by the committee and agreed to
by the house. No delay in either
authorization is anticipated The
bond issue will he agreed TO within
day, Mr.. Kitchin predicted. and
the $5O0,O00,0OO probably will be
added to the revenue bill in confer
ence with the approval OF the house.
The plan is to have the remainder
of the s9,000,0OO,0O0 authorized at
the next session of congress, begin
ming in December. Whether it will
be raised by bonds or additional tax
alton or in what proportion of both,
is undecided. Announcement that
authorization OF new bond issue to
meet an allied loan was desired came
as surprise to most of the congress
sional leaders. They thought the
conference the secretary sought with
Mr.. Kitchin was for the purpose of
discussing raising possibly an ad-
ditional 1,00O,OO0.O0O or $4,000

MAKE WAR SUBMARINE
OF THE DEUTCHlAND
CONVERT MERCHANT BOAT
INTO FIGHTING VESSEL.
Undersea Craft May Soon Be
Plying Along Pacific Coast
In Interest of Quarry.

Copenhagen, Aug. 15.-The Ger
man commercial submarine Deutsch
land, which visited the United
States before that country entered
the war, has been converted into n
war submarine, according to Ger
man fleet gossip reaching the AS
sociated Press. The Deutschland
has a great radius of action and has
been fitted with six torpedo tubes.
The submarine, it is said, may
soon leave for the Pacific to oper-
ate against traffic from San Francis
CO. The U-boat was to have started
activities some time ago but an ex-
plosion on board while the vessel
was on trial trip made necessary re-
pairs which took considerab BILE time.
The German losses in submarines.
according to the information of the
Associated Press, who recently had
been at Wilhelmshaven and with the
German fleet, has been twenty to
twenty-five boats, this figure ap-
parently covering thb losses since
the start of the unrestricted subma-
rine warfare campaign. Four ad-
dltional boats are said to have been
lost in the Mediterrean. Ger
many now has almost 800 subma-
rines. The newest boats being of
the big sea-going type and armed
with six-inch gun.
This armament appeared on boats
commissioned in the middle of June.
The 800 submarines include a
large number of the alleged canal
type boat for passage through the
Belgian canals to Zeebrugge. and
which are of inferior armament and
smaller radius of action
The German Fleet.
The German fleet, according to the
information. justifies it's name of
high sea fleet by running out from
Wilhelmshaven with considerable
regularity sometimes two or three
times a week. Fleet only makes
short trips. however, and never goes
very far to sea. The high seas us
ually leaves Wilhelmshaven in the
evening and is back by early dinner
time. between IL and noon on the
following day. On a few occasions
IT has remained out longer. but only
because thick weather set in. max
ing passage through the German
mine fields dangerous and forcing
it TO remain in the shelter of Helgo-
land, until the weather cleared.
Anchored in Security.
A greater part OF the time the an
chored big ships and cruisers com
prising the battle feet are anchored
in safe security behind mine fields
and nets and triple line of pickets
protecting the entrance to the base.
Once in March the fleet had a con-
siderable period of enforced repose
when British mine layers, taking ad-
tage OF thick weather, sowed the
coastal waters so full of mines that
the German vessels were unable to
leave harbor.
The enlisted personnel of the fleet
knew nothing OF American prepara-
tions for active participation in war.
The men were told by their officers
that Americas declaration of war on
Germany was only issued as a cover
to preparations against Japan and
that American troops would not be
used in Europe.

FIRST STEPS TAKEN
FOR CHEAPER BREAD
BIG CORPORATION is To
HANDLE ALL GRAIN.
Huge Concern Formed to Take
Care of Stabilizing Prices.
Other Boards Named.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The food
administration prepared today to
take over the entire 1917 wheat
crop if necessary to stabilize prices
throughout the year. 1t formed a
$50,00O,000 corporation with all tho
STOCK held by the federal govern
ment, to buy and sell wheat at the
principal terminals. The move was,
the first Of series to be taken to-
reduce the price of bread. Millers
already have agreed to put them
selves under voluntary regulations
and are working out with the food
administration differential OF
flour by the wholesalers and the
baking Of bread will be taken nm
next.
The hope Of the administration
is to establish scale of prices from
the farm to the grocery store, elm
mating undue profit and ending
speculation. The maintenance of a
standard price for wheat, officials
believe, is the most necessary step.
In announcing formation of the
wheat crop corporation the food ad-
ministration also has made known
hn
which will fix price to be paid for
this years wheat yield, and the.
names of 13 men who will act as;
purchasing agents for the corpora
tion at terminals.
Hoover at Head.
The wheat corporation will be put
under the administration grain di-
vision. Its chairman will be Her.
bert Hoover and its president Julian.
Barnes, a Duluth exporter.
To Buy for Allies.
The wheat corporation will handle
all allied grain purchases and will
do the buying for the American gov
ernment. If found advisable it also
will serve as broker for the milling
interests, purchasing wheat for the
-four mills to keep the market,
steady. The allies will be required
to purchase -four instead of wheat
cost will be reduced and American
industry encouraged.
All OF the grain men who are taken,
into the food administrations frain,
division will disassociate' them
selves from business interests and
will give their entire time to the
government without remuneration.
Authority to license grain eleva-
tors and milling concerns was given
formally to the food administration
today in a proclamation by Presi-
dent Wilson. Mr.. Hoover hopes
that operation of the licensing sys-
tenn will make unnecessary any ex-
tensive government purchases for
port price and proper supervision of
exchange dealings will do more than,
anything else to keep prices on a.
constant level.
Representatives of the millers al
so met here today and named a COM
mittee to serve with the food ad--
ministration in drawing up and en-
forcing the regulations governing.
-four markets.
No plans have been made for
grain purchases by neutral countries
although it is likely all will be re-
Quired to buy through the food ad-
ministration. This will give .the
government a close check on pur-
chases and will aid the exports
council, to which applications for
grain exports must be submitted
Just now no food OF any character is
leaving the United States for the
European neutral countries but
shipments will be permitted as soon
as the countries concerned have
supplied full data as to their needs
