 LOANS FOR ALLIES.
BONDS, TAXES CONSIDERED
Conference With Ktehin By Secre- tary McAdoo Followed At eaoe By Plans For Additional War Taxes
 and Bond Issue For Expenses.

Washington.-G leaders were informed by Secretary McAdoo that it would be necessary sor them to authorize at this and the winter session Of Congress an additional S9. 000.0000 900 for war expenditures 70 June 30. 1918, including additional loans to the allies.
 Five billions in bonds already have been authorized, and q $2.000. .000 GOO war tax bill is pending now in the Senate.
 Within an hour after the secretary had conferred with Representative Kitchin, chairman of the House ways and means committee, plans were un- der way to raise the money. A meet ing of the ways and means committee was called for August 25 and ar engagements made for the House. now taking three-day recessos. to resume its regular meetings on August 27 and expedite financial legislation. Issuance of between 3,000,000,0 GOO and $4,000.- 000,000 in bonds to meet new allied loans, authorization of an additional $500, 000,000 in taxes to be added to the bill before the Senate, probably will be proposed by the committee and agreed to by the House No de- lay in either authorization is anti cipated. The bond issue will be agreed to within a day, MT. Kitchin predicted, and the $500, ,000.000 proba- bly will be added to the revenue bill in conference with the approval Of the House.
 The plan is to have the remainder of the 5000, 100000 authorized at the next session of Congress, beginning in December. Whether it will be raised by bonds or additional taxation CT in what proportion of both, is undecided Announcement that authorization Of new bond issue to meet an allied loan was desired came as surprise to most of the congressional leaders. They thought the conference the sec retary sought with MT. Kitchin was for the purpose of discussing raising possibly an additional $1000, DOC, ,009 or 5000 100000 for emergency do- mestic needs. They planned to ai- thorize it, go home and raise the re- maining $4,000,000,000 or $5,000, ,000,- 900 it was estimated the war would cost this fiscal year, at the next ses- sion.

 REACHES WEST PORT
IS HEADED BY VIscoUNT K. IsAH, AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY
 PERCEIVED BY OFFICIALS.

Pacific Port.-A Japanese mis- sion to the United States arrived here and proclaimed that it's members came officially "as comrades in a gl- gantic struggle which involves the lib critics and the sacred rights of man. kind.'
 We are here" declared Viscount K. Ishii, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary responding to an address of welcome from the mayor, tas the representatives of Japan, on mission of friendship and good will. We come as allies in common cause'
 He adverted to this nations war panoply and its meaning to Japan.
 We are particularly glad to be here just at this time" he said. when all America is showing a courage, pa triotism, energy and whole-hearted zeal. Naturally Japan is interested in your preparations. We are glad to see them. Not a sensible person in Japan sees anything in your pepara- tions but geat benefit to both coun- tries in the future.
 we have always had confidence in the fundamental justice, sound sense and broad vision of Americans. We are glad of your preparations on land and sea because we believe they mean an earlier peace"
 Breckinridge Long third assistant secretary of state, and Gavin McNab. an attorney sent from Washington with representatives of the army and navy. boarded the liner bringing the mission as she made port, with the Rising Sun flag of Japan flying at her forpeak in honor of her distinguished passengers.
 A United States battleship encir- cled the vessel until the mission was put aboard launch, shore bound.
 The real ceremonies of welcome be- gan at the landing place. Masses of troops at present arms" lined the street, while the Japanese anthem was played. Lines of troopers rode beside the automobiles which escort. ed the mission to the city hall, where applause greeted each member of the mission presented by the mayor to the people. When Viscount Ishii made his declaration of alliance and friend ship, the cheering became thunder ous as the crowd caught the signifi- canoe of his utterance, and the vis- count, who had been reading in a moderate voice from his manuscript continued in vigorous tones.

 OF THE MEASURE.
SAYS WILL WORK HARDSHIP
Complainant Says Commissioner Page Has Construed Law To Ap- ply to Plaintiff, Who Says They
 Are Not Public Ginners.
Pine Bluff.

Fine Biuft. A suit to test the constitutionality of the new state ginning law was filed at Pine Bluff by Bridges &t Woodbridge, attorneys, who were recently retain ed by 8 large number of cotton gin ners and planters to test the law.

PROTESTS TO AIR
 VIEWS OF CONGRESS
SENATOR LAFoLLETTE WANTS STATEMENT OF OUR WAR AIMS
 WILL BE ALLOWED TO TALK.

Washington-Th handful of out poses to have big peace talk soon within Congress.
 Led by members of the "wilful twelve" they will thresh out the ques- tion of getting an allied American showdown of war aims and peace terms. Senator LaFollette gave the ball a push by introducing resolu- tion calling for such a statement and proposing that the United States drop any idea of annexations and punitive indemnities.
 Senator King, representing the great majority sentiment, introduced another resolution, demanding that | the United States go on to finish fight with the "outlawed German government"
 Administration senators will not at tempt to check the proposed flood of talk Instead, they will let LaFollette, Stone and others get their ideas out, confident that the upshot will be pub lication to the world that America IS in this war to a knockout, and that peace can be talked successfully only when kaiserism and Schreck.ichkeit have been banished from the earth.
 The only thing the leaders will in- sist upon is that the peace talk shall l be curbed until the war revenue bill is out of the way.
 They will show-on official author ity-that there are signs of Germany cracking physchologieally and eco nomically and will urge that the paci- fists get into line in support rather | than in hindrance of the war pro- gramme. The government position is absolutely opposed to peace proposals now, unless they should be clean cut and bona fide.
 It emphasized it's opposition to peace propaganda, when the State De partment formally announced 1t will l issue no passports to American dele gates to the second Stockholm peace ] conference, notwithstanding the Brit ish labor vote in favor of attending. | The department refused to discuss it's order.
 | Russia probably will side with this country in baking attendance upon the conference.
 And, if British representatives go. they will insist upon the return of Al ce-Lorraine to France, return or Italy's lost provinces and restoration of Belgium, Servia. Montenegro and Roumania, it was said in diplomatic quarters.

 Across the Steenbeke River.

New York-OfTicial notification that China has declared war on Germany and Austria Hungary has been reeeiv- ed both in London and at Washing ton. China is the seventeenth nation to array itself with the entente allies against the central powers.

 No great changes have taken place on the battlefields of Europe. North. east of Ypres in Flanders British troops have forced German posts to retire across the Steenbeke river, which lies east of the Ypres-Thorout railway and in the region of Lange- marck. The British held their gain and re-established their line on the eastern bank of the river. Elsewhere from the coast to St. Quentin the artillery firing has increased in some sections and the British have carried out several successful raids, the most important of which was in the envi- rons of Lens by the Canadians.
 French reconnoitering parties have penetrated the German lines near Rheims in two places. Elsewhere i'll Champagne, as we'll as at Cerny in the Aisne front and in the Carspath sector the French repulsed German surprise attacks.
