the liberty loan, declared in state
ment tonight that the people were
behind the administrations program
Of raising approximately $i.S00. .Oo0,-

Il found the most gratifying dis
position on the part of the people
everywhere" said the secretary, to
bear the necessary additional taxa
ton required for the war and for the
maintenance of sound economic con-
ditions in the country. l spoke spe-
officially Of the necessity of raising
no less than $500, 100000 in new
taxes and the response Of every audi
ence was instantaneous and crafty
ling.
while everyone wants the new
taxes to be equitably distributed
there is q willingness-in fact, eager
ness---to make necessary sacrifices.
Willing to BE Taxed.
There is no objection on the part
OF the great mass of the people to
the proposal to raise $1,S00 100000
by taxation. l found some opposi-
ton to the amount on the part Of a
few small groups of business men but
most Of them seemed reconciled
yhor tie sitoatiep vas exclaimed,
The real differences of opinion are
about items of taxation and not the
total amount"
Mr.. McAdoo was particularly inn
pressed on his trip, he declared. with
the unselfish and patriotic support
that bankers, business men and all
classes of people were giving to the
liberty loan. The west, he said. is

L
to the president of the loyal, enthusi-
astic and devoted support of the peo-
pie. The sentiment throughout the
west may be summed up as follows:
This war was forced on Uncle
Sam. Now that he is in 1t we do not
intend that he shall be licked.'"
Much still has to be done to make
the liberty loan the overwhelming
success that the secretary expects 1t
to be- 'If the people are aroused to
its importance he said, there will
be no doubt about its success. But
continuous hard work must be done
until subscription day, June Is.
There is now an enthusiastic impulse
behind the loan which If maintained

Minneapolis. Mr.. McAdoo said,
had done "conspicuously valuable
work. A house to house canvass
there, he said, had resulted in the
sale Of $10,000,000 in bonds to 1882

Washington. May 27.-Replying to-
day to Major General Goethals' dec
aration that the shipping boards
wooden ship program entrusted to
the general. is hopeless. Chairman
Denman of the board issued state
ment declaring that with the most
successful steel building campaign
possible there still will be need for
a thousand wooden ships.
Referring directly to General Goe-
thals' speech at a dinner In New
York Friday night, Mr.. Denman said.
1--WE believe that the committees
OF congress, and not at a public dim
rer with the head of the steel trust
are the places for the discussion OF
matters of policy with regard to ship
building"
Boards Ono Purpose.
THE shipping board has but one
purpose in its activities in Washing
ton" said Mr.. Denman, that is to
use its utmost endeavors and powers
to defeat the German submarine
campaign. No person nor any inter-
ested group of capitalists. can draw
any one OF us into a controversy with
General Goethals, nor do we think
the general is seeking 1t. ~.
IF all the ships that can be built
within the next eighteen months are
built, there still will be need for a
thousand wooden ships to make good
the deficit in our merchant tonnage,
though the German rate of destruc-
ton is reduced to half that estab-
lished in the month of April. do
not know whether thousand wooden
ships can be built in 1S months.
There was hope expressed that we
could, and / have carefully avoided
denying the possibility Of realization
of this hope. My reason for not de-
nying it is because | do not care to
have our German enemies in Berlin
receive that amount of comfort.
Bonds Not Necessary.
Every attempt to make 1t appear
that there is disruption between Cen
eral Goethals and the board is add
ing to Germany's comfort and assur-
anccs.'
OF General Goethals' statement
that the treasury has made no ef-
fort to sell $4,000. 600 worth of Pan
anna canal bonds to provide funds for
the boards work, he said;
Every request we have made to
the treasury for money has met a
quick response. II was not neces-
sary to sell Panama canal bonds to
obtain money, and General Goethals
must have been under some misap-
prehension in regard to this matter.

nation designated Tuesday, June

war committee. the chamber of COM
merce or commercial club, the
schools, where existing women &
auxiliary of the council of defense,
otherwise some woman selected by
registration day committee. the press,

above mentioned are not available it
may be left to the discretion of the
people of each community to form
such committee from the persons
present who, in their judgment, can
best perform the required service. }
1t is further suggested that the
county school superintendent, county
clerk and the sheriff be a part of
this committee and charged with the
responsibility of organizing registra-
ton day celebrations and distributing
honor badges, in the outlying dis
tricts. These badges of honor are
now in the hands Of your county
