WILL PERMIT NO
CHANCE OF LEAK
REGARDING LOAN
No Intimation Before June
Is of Amount Subscribed
to Liberty Fund.

Washington. May 19.-There will be
no official announcement of subs,rip-
tions to the Liberty Loan until the
subscription books close June Is and
officials will exert themselves to see
that no accurate unofficial estimates
are obtainablc.
In announcing this decision today
officials stated that ii would be phys
ically impossible to give out any totals
until June H." The number of sub
scribcrs, however, will be officially
ann ounccd from time to time and
treasury officials will have accurate
information from the federal reserve
banks and other agencies, after the
campaign is in fun swing, as to the
total subscriptions in hand.
This information will be withheld
from the public largely because of the
great amount Of clerical work involved
IN making the tnbuiations and also
because rs Il matter of policy. of
ficials want u tremendous over Sub
Scription. and to announce at any
stage that the bonds had been nearly
subscribed. 1t is felt, might result in
a falling off of subscriptions there
after.
Encouraging reports from all sec
tiOnS were received by the treasury
department today. Many agencies op-
Grating to make the big issue II sue
cess are beginning to make their pow
crful influences felt. Assurances oi
cooperation from the governors of
fees of the states have been receive,

NITRoGLYCERIN
IS FOUND ABOARD
INTERNED VESSEL
Five Gallons of Explosive
Discovered on SaxOnia-
Plot Is Scented.

Puget Sound Navy Yard. May Ia
(Speciai.)-F'ive gallons Of nitroglyc-
erin. enough not only to blow the
ship to pieces but to take the lives of
hundreds of United States sailors and
destroy millions of dollars worth of
naval ships anchored nearby, were
found In a big can aboard the German
ship Saxonia. recently brought here for
safekeeping and repairs. Shortly after
the SaXonia was docked a bluejacket
walked down the main deck and Sec
ing the five gallon can and wonder
ing at it's presence gave 1t kick to
see II it was empty. What that kick
might have cost, officials shudder to
estimate. Finding the can full, the
sailor reported to a petty officer, who
at first thought it was gasoline, but
smelling of it decided it was not any
kind of fuel oil and reported it to "A
superior officer as a matter of rou-
tine. Government experts analysed
the contents of the can and found it
pure nitroglycerin. 1t was removed
to the ammunition depot at Ostrich
Bay.
Whether the finding of the can
frustrated a plot to explode 1t by me-
chanical means or whether the per-
sons placing it there thought that
some such act as the kick of the
sailor would explode it by accident, is
a question Of conjecture in the min ds
of naval officers. If it was an unfin-
ished plot it is pointed out that it is
obvious that someone in the confidence
OF the government was implicated, as
someone would have to gain access to
the navy yard to explode it. The
SaxOnia, 4,424 tons. of the Hamburg
American line, was interned at Eagle
Harbor, near Seattle, at the beginning
of the European war. When war was
declared between the United States
and Germany she was placed in the
custody OF the navy department and
was brought to the navy yard about
10 days ago.

REGISTRATIONS

Helena, May 19.-The Montana draft
registration was set today for June 5.
Governor s. Y. Stewart is inclined
not to declare the day a holiday. He
believes the country will be better
served if everybody remins at work
that day, the men liable for registra-
ton going to the precincts and then
returning. 1T is more patriotic for
Montna to devote every minute to
putting in its crops said Governor
Stewart

tive officer in charge of the registra-
ton in Montana of men liable to the

A Word for the Dog.

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Gazette-Times, noting that several let
tiers have appeared recently in the
newspapers, complaining that farmers
cannot keep sheep on account of dogs,
replies that in Europe, Asia and in the
southwestern part of the United States,
sheep always are In the care of shep-
herds and trained dogs. Sometimes
the shepherd is a girl or boy. II
dogs are practically banished from the
state by too drastic legislation, how
can farmers save their crops from tres
passers, their fruit and vegetables
from theieves? Automobiles have made
1t easy for thieves to escape with their
plunder, If there is no dog to give
alarm. Women and girls In the coun-
try will have to carry firearms to pro-
tect themselves against vicious tramps,
If dogs are no longer with them. To
keep dog chained too closely OF too
long a time Is real cruelty.
