 veres on Next Monday.
SECRETARY M'ADOO
 APPROVES MEASURE
Country Expected to Absorb This Huge Sum Between February 1 and July l, of the Ensuing
 Year.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Congress will have to authorize early in the session. convening next (NIonGay, means of collecting between now and July 1, 1918, about $5,000,0o0,000, in addition to the $3,666, 100000 from Liberty bonds, the billion dollars or less, ex- pecred from savings campaign and about S3,0O0, 100000 from war taxes.
 Most congressional leaders believe a S5.000. 100000 balance must be pro- vided principally by issue of bonds and Secretary McAdoo has told mem bers of congress that he heartily fa- vors this method.
 Chairman Kitchins of the house ( ways and means committee, on his re turn to Washington tomorrow, will take up the question immediately, and the committee, in a week or two, is expected to bring in a new bond measure
 If this plan is finally adopted, the country probably will be called upon to absorb two more big Liberty bond issues between February 1 and July 1, 1918, aggregating more than $8,500,- 000,000.

MASS OF EXPERT
 TESTIMONY IN
 DESAULL[S CASE Supports Claim of Chilean Beauty That She was Un- aware of Her Acts. REQUIRED HOUR
 TO READ QUESTION States Attorney Dissatisfied With Document Will Prepare Another
 and Longer Question for
 Experts.

Mineola, N. Y., Nov. 3O.-Another mass of expert testimony was added to the volume of evidence already in- troduced in support of Mrs. Blanca de Saulles' claim that she did not know what she was doing when she shot her divorced husband, John L. de Saul les at his Long Island home on the night of August 3. The defense rest ed at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon.
 Because District Attorney Weeks did not like the phrasing of a 15,OOO word hypothetical question put to the alienists by attorneys for the defense, he is preparing similar interrogation of equal or greater strength, which ex perts on diseases of the mind, called by the prosecution, will be asked to answer tomorrow. Weeks insisted the question submitted by the defense was based entirely on testimony favor able to Mrs. de Saulles, and Justice Manning instructed the district at, torney to frame another query, in, cluding the testimony he deems most favorable to his side of the case. It required an hour and a half to read the, questions prepared by the de- fense.
 Discussion of it's points occupied two hours.
 It seemed probable tonight that submission of testimony in rebuttal would not be finished before tomorrow night.

 TO HELP FARMER

DISLOYAL WORDS CAUSE ARREST OF
 PINE BLUFF LAD
Sorry He Spoke After Hand of Law Marched Him Be-
 fore U. $. Commissioner.

"When I die,7 I would rather have a gunny sack wrapped about my body than any United States flag" are the words accredited to B. F. Carlisle, a 19-year-old youth in the employe of the Cocoa Cola bottling works of this city, and which, coupled with other as- sertions of a like nature, alleged to have been uttered by him, caused his arrest yesterday.
 Carlisle is a gentlemanly appearing youth; nicely dressed, apparently quiet and said to be we'll behaved by both his employers and by quite a number of youthful friends, made since his ad- vent to Pine Bluff. He is from Castor, La., where he has a father and a mother living, the former being plan ter and also merchant after a small fashion. He is just out of school; se- lected Pine Bluff as a field for his work, because he has a cousin here in the person of the cashier of the South ern Grocery company, a gentleman who stands high and enjoys the re- spect of his fellow citizens. Carlisle's nice address won him his position with the bottling works, and according to Henry B. Russel, manager, has been making good, no one being more sur prised to hear of his alleged disloyal remarks.
 The complaint against the boy was made bv three soldiers, fellow board CTS with Carlisle at No. 116 West Sixth street. These soldiers declare that Carlisle not only spoke disre- spectfully of the flag, but added, that when he died he expected to join "kaiser Bill," and that he would rath- CT be in the German army than with the American forces.
 Carlisle insists that he is not disloy- al. He declares that both he and his whole family are true Americans; that his remarks were not exactly as re- ported and that, beside, he spoke hast lily, without thought and was misun- derstood. However,, this may be, the youth is reported by the soldiers, first class privates of the recruiting sta tion, as being uglier in his remarks than the language of the complaint alleges. They said they felt it their duty to report him, which was done, and his arrest followed as a matter of course.
 Taken before Commissioner Bur. nett, the boy was treated as leniently as possible because of his age and condition. but the district attorney not being in town. it was necessary to turn him over to the sheriff. He was kept a prisoner, for some six hours or more, during which time he express ed the profoundest regret that he had used any language whatever that could in anyway be a reflection on his country.
 MT. Russell, his employer. and his cousin, the cashier, both said they fancied the lad had learned his les son, and would in the future not only refrain from any doubtful remarks of this nature, but be ready to uphold his country by word and deed.
 After the district attorney was To- cated, Carlisle was again taken before the commissioner. The trial was set for today; and as bond in the sum of $500 was given. Carlisle escaped spending the night in jail. <.
