ADOPTS WAR BILn.
Revenue Measure Passes Senate and
 is Now Up to President.

 Washington, Oct. 2.-With only one hour of debate the senate yesterday without dissenting vote approved the conference report on the War Revenue bill. The measure will go to the house today for the signature of the speaker and back to the senate to be signed by the vice president. It will be in the hands of the presi- dent tonight.
 The senate accepted the conference report in what might be characterized as a dirge-like spirit. The measure was advocatd solely as means of raising money by direct taxation to pay immediate war expenditures. Criticism of some features, chiefly the war profits tax and the levies upon in- dividuals, was made by every senator who took the floor during the brief debate.
 The aggregate yield of revenue from the bill, Senator Simmons said, would be about s2,535, 5,00O,0OO, which is nearly s200,0O0,O00 lower than that made when the conferees finished their work Saturday.
 'The conference agreement is a dis tinct senate victory said Senator Simmons. Tine house yielded on 275 out of 32O contested points. While the measure as passed may not meet with the approval of all, and I don't assume to say it is perfect, I do say, unreservedy, that it is a much inn

THE RUSH FOR LOANS.
Opening of Liberty Campaign Sur passes All Hopes of the Committee.

New York, Oct. 3.-Great headway was made yesterday in the campaign for the sale of the second Liberty Loan bonds, which opened Monday end so pleased were the members of the Liberty Loan committee of the New York district with the progress of the work of organization requisite Tor tho mobilization of subscriptions that they frankly admitted that more had been accomplished in the two days than in the first two weeks of tho previous war loan campaign. Exact figures for subscriptions filed throughout the district were unavail- iE ble, but it was roughly estimated that )netween $s0,O00,oO0 and $100,00O,0oo had been applied for in the two days. lip to 3:15 yesterday afternoon the Federal Reserve bank had received reports of subscriptions to the amount of about s9,000,O00, but this did not Include records from upstate, nor did 1t take into account various sub- scriptions that had been announced in one form or another. but which were not officially reported to the bank The Corn Exchange bank, the only State bank in this city which is a member of the Reserve system, will

 tions and personal effects accom- panied by their owners
 Washington, Oct 3.-Concerted d action on the part of the allied coun- tries to isolate Germany from the rest of the world and end all possi- bility of neutral nations of Europe supplying her with foods and ammu- milton, no matter what the conse- quence may be, is seen here in the proclamation published in London placing an absolute embargo on the exportation of commodities to Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Neither lands, known as the northern neutral group.
 The United States took the lead In this movement on July 15, when, by Presidential proclamation, it declared an absolute embargo on the exporta- tion of all products to these coun- tries. Since that time not so much as an ounce of food or fodder, or the smallest quantity of any wartime ma- terial has gone to the northern neu- trals of Europe.
 So far as the United States was concerned the British blockade was unnecessary, and the embargo also was a much more effective weapon.
 It is considered likely here that France, Italy and the other countries aligned against Germany in the war will follow the lead taken by Amer ica and Great Britain, and that a com bination thus will be formed which will absolutely prevent materials en- tering northern neutral territory from these sources unless it is stablished beyond a doubt that Germany is not profiting.
 The situation created by embargo regulations in connection with these neutrals has been rapidly developing g to point where some hold the opinion that certain nations now neutral will find it difficult to remain Ion the fence.''
 It is certain, for one thing, that the United States will not aid in the SUD- port of Holland while any such agree ment with Germany as that presented in full in The New York Times on remains in effect, and neither will the United States send its sup plies to Sweden while the Swedes, or at least the pro-German ruling classes there, are pouring food and materials necessary for the manufac- ture of ammunition and high explo- sives into the territory of the central powers.
 That such a traffic has been going on, it is reported here, has been dem onstrated to the satisfaction of off, cials in charge of the export of American goods. They are in a mood to enforce to the limit the restrictions
