NJ 'ADOO ASKS
MORE BONDS.
NOT TAXES, TO.
FINANCE WAR

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
today precipitated the expected fight
in Congress over the proper method
Of further financing the war. He
urged that all additional revenue
needed for the year ending June so,
1918, be raised by bonds, and that no
additional tax legislation be passed
at this session.
McAdoo estimated the excess Of
expenditures over receipts until the
end Of the year will total $685.
100000
Advocates Flock to Plan.
Advocates of financing the wnr
mostly through bond issues immedi-
ately rallied to McAdoo's standard, de
claring his recommendation repre-
sents the Administration view.
War costs to the end ofJUne, 1919
exclusive of loans to foreign gov
srnments-wiH reach the enormous
total of more than $4,000. 100000,
according to the estimates.
Ordinary expenditures for the fis-
cal year ending June so, 1918, will
amount to S12,316, ,295.223, of which
G11,b27, 100 ,o23 will be fed directly
into the war machine.

ward to S12, ,7O1. .s3S, $50 out Of which
a, sos, $50 800 will be for prosecution
Of the war.

Shnt Il must awaken to the vast re-
sponSibilities OF the war, must cur
tai its pleasures and learn the vital
lesson of saving.
Business as usual" Is an impos-
sihlS theory in war, McAdoo declares.

NURSES ACCUSER
IN WIFE'S DEATH
ASSA|LED BY STATE

DEDHAM, Mass, Dec. 5.-George II.
Keyes, star witness for the State In
the trial OF Harriet A. Varney. Bos-
ton nurse, whom he has accused OF
the murder of his wife, Pauline Keyes,
was subjected to a bitter arraignmen-
today by Assistant District Attorney
william Kane. 1t appeared that
Keyes was going through almost as
great an ordeal as a witness as the
nurse was as a defendant.
Keyes was painted in black colors.
but, declared the prosecutor, Keyes'
loose living was not a reason why a
pure, loving wife like Pauline Keyes
should be the one to suffer"
Miss Varney was pictured a. q
woman who would first attempt to
break up a happy home and then de
liberately kill the wife. The nurse
wept as the prosecutor spoke.
A letter. said to have been written
Miss Varney to Keyes, will play
important part in the trial, Il IL
i today. This communication, sent
to Keyes after the death OF his wife,
contains damning evidence, It IA
claimed.
Another letter, q suicide note"
written by Mrs. Keyes to her husband.
upsets the theory that the husband
and wife were on friendly terms prior
to the latter's death. Mrs. Keyes is
said to have learned OF the relations
between her husband and the nurse
and knowledge of his unfaithfulness
was affecting her health, according
to revelations in the suicide note"
Interest in the trial centers on the
testimony and actions OF Keyes when
he is called to the witness stand.
