WASHINGTON, April 6.-Methods
of financing the war with Germany
and of extending huge loans TO the
allies constituted one of the chief
subjects considered at today's cabinet
meeting.
Indications are that the first years
demands upon the financial resources
of the country will run far in excess
of the $4,000 100000 already asked OF
congress and may approximate s5.-
600. 100000.
Bond issues already authorized also
were discussed. These total $780,
900 900 including the s225,000.000 of
the Panama bonds but not issued.

Useful to U. S. in War

A final decision as to disposition of
the ships will be made within a few
days. A brief statement issued by
the treasury department today said
they were being taken in charge for
the purpose of protecting them and
other property. Officials said an
intelligent use" would be made OF
the vessels and that they either could
be used as naval auxiliaries or as
merchant ships. Most of them would
make excellent troop transports.
Fourteen of the largest and swiftest
could carry 10000 troops. which is
twice as many as could be transport
ed by the entire available American
merchant fleet.
Some officials said the ships could
not be taken over by the United
States formally and put into service
without an act of congress.

arrest Of sixty alleged ring lead
ers in German plots, conspiraeies

For the first time in more than a

100000 Reservists in U. S.
How many German reservists
are in the United States, high
official said tonight, has never
been accurately determined. This
officials belief was that the num-
Der ranged between 100000 and
100000. The great majority, it
was said, are men in middle life
or beyond or men who have been
in this country for so many years
that their sympathies are consid-
cred transplanted to the United
States, there are however. it was
said, between $4,000 and $4,000
young German reservists in this
country in the prime of life who
have been here so short time
not more than from three TO five
years-that they may be properly
regarded as potential sources of
trouble. Upon them the secret
service and the bureau of investi-
CATION have concentrated much
energy
Many are Paid Spies
For obvious reasons the depart
ment of justice withheld the names
of persons apprehended but it was
said that virtually all of them could
be classed as quasi-officials of the
German government. Many. it is al
legged. were the instrumentalities
through which Captains Boy-Ed and
Won Papen carried out their activities
in this country against the allies. A
few of them, it was said, could be
classed as spies.
The department is prepared to con
test to the highest court any effort
made to liberate under bond or by
habeas corpus proceedings, the men
under arrest. The manner in which
the arrests were ordered made-by
U. s. marshals, forthwith, without
reference to the courts-is a wartime
step unauthorized in time of peace

To Welcome Allies Warships

Instructions prepared several days
ago were sent by the treasury depart
ment to cease transmitting details of
the armament and the armed guards
on merchantmen entering American
harbors on the ground that henceforth
no restrictions would be placed on
such vessels. Announcement will be
made shortly that allied war vessels
have been given free admission to Am
erican harbors. II is probable how
ever, that with the seizure of German
shipping here and the enlistment OF
the American navy in the patrol work,
the entente will withdraw virtually all
warcraft from this side of the Atlantic.
Negotiations now are practically COM
pleted for the admittance of armed
ships in neutral European harbors.

STEELE COUNTY CHURCH
REMEMBERS REV. MARTElL

Finley Beacon: The Hofva Swedish
Lutheran church was to have had its
Christmas program on Dec. rs. On
account of the snow storm no program
could be rendered. It was then ar.
ranged to have the program on Jan. @.
It was held then and was indeed sue
cess. Although time was too limited
to make it we'll known a great number
of people were present. The church
was nealy full of people. The children
did their part we'll. They had recita-
lions, songs and very beautiful exer-
cises or drills. A choir also rendered
several good numbers. Much credit is
due Mrs. A. E. Erickson for her work
in preparing this program. The COM
mittee that had charge of decorations,
ets., Messrs. Victor Anderson and Will
lie Peterson, had done their work we'll
also. Everything was very neat and
we'll arranged. At the end Of the pro-
gram the pastor was asked to present
Mrs. Erickson with a pretty little gift
from her many friends. Rev. E.. A..
Martell was then the recipient of a
gift from the Ladies' Aid and a purse
from other members and friends: of
the church. The gifts were very much
appreciated. It reflects great credit
upon the little church and the COM
munity. The occasion was very much
enjoyed by all.

From Winnipeg to Fargo the derby

TO PLAY HOCKEY FROM
SCHOOL MEANS $40 LOSS

Minneapolis, Jan. 13.-Every time
anv little boy plays hockey from
school, it costs him SO; according to
G. F. Womrath, business superintend-
ent Of schools, in a statement today.
Here's the way he figures it. Average
annual earning capacity of educated
man, $1,000; average earning capac-
ity of uneducated man, $3.50; life's
earning capacity, educated man, $40,-
900; uneducated man, $4,000; differ
ence, $4,000; school period for educa-
ton, II years; total days attendance
at school, 2,16O. The difference be-
tween the educated and uneducated,
tlen, is just 216O days, which at SO
a day, balances the difference in life's
earning power of man.
