Loan
for Allies
Is Planned
Two to Three Billions to Be
Raised by Bond Issue in
United States.

Washington, April 1.--Administra-
ton leaders today decided to unlock
at once the vast financial resources of
the United States to the allies.
To relieve the economic needs OF the
entente governments a huge loan, of
dimensions not yet determined hut not
less than $4,000. 600, 900, will be forth
coming from this country as speedily
as congress can pass the necessary
legislation.
Not n penny profit it was author
itatively stated, will be received by
this country on the loan. Tho loan
will be Americas immediate contribu-
tion to the allied cause with the
promise of other bountiful contribu-
tions of money. munitions. and food
stuffs to come as needed
Huge Bond Issue.
An immediate bond ISSUE probab bly,
$4,000, 100000, is forecast by todays
action. The exact amount is yet to
be determined.
Legislation providing for the issue
will be introduced in congress not
later than next week and possibly be-
fore the end of the present month a
substantial portion of the great loan
will be available for the entente gov
ernments.
The forthcoming bond issue. II was
authoritatively said. will be placed be-
fore the public as quickly as possible
in denominations down to possibly s25
will bear "a reasonable interest rate"
and the entire army of American in
vestors--banks corporations and in
dividuals-will be afforded an oppor-
tunity to subscribe.
Treasury department and federal
reserve board officials believe that a
$4,000, 900. 900 bond issue can be alb
sorbcd without difficulty by American
investors and it Is likely that this will
be the first sum offered.
Foreign Bonds Taken.
The present plan calls for the OK
change of American money dollar for
dollar for foreign bonds at par Bon DIS
OF the entente governments would be
accepted by the American government
as security for the loan. The interest
rate on the foreign bonds, il was said,
will be the same as on bonds to be is
sued by this government in raising the
big loan.
Thus should the first loan to the
allies be $3.oO0,0OO, ,o0O--a sum indi-
Gated by one official participating in
the formation OF the prugram-~thc
United States would make this sum
available out of proceeds Of it's own
bond issue. taking bonds to the face
value of $4,000, ,Oo0,0O from the allied
governments to which the loan is
made. The allied bonds would be held
in the treasury here. Interest on them
would be paid to the American gov
ernment at the same rate as the gov
ernment would pay on the American
bonds sold in this country.
Not all OF the first big bond issue
1t was intimated. would be loaned to
the allies, sufficient reservation being
made to cover the naval and military
needs of this country not met by tax
alton. A considerable proportion of
the $35O0,00O.0 900 already asked of con-
gress for the military and naval estab-
lishments during the first year will be
raised by increased taxation, possibly
as much as $500. 100000.

HOOVER TO HEAD
FOOD COMMITTEE
Belgian Relief Leader to Aid
in the Prevention of
Speculation.

Washington, April 7.--Herbert G.
Hoover will be asked by the council
of national defense to head a national
committee on food supply and prices
to stimulate production and to pre-
vent speculative prices. Mr.. Hoover
had charge of the distribution of
American supplies in Belgium. It Is
understood he has agreed to become
chairman of the COMMITTEES.
The food question is regarded as one
OF the most important problems facing
the government in conduct of the war.
Profiting by the experience of Europe,
the United States, it is expected, will
make every effort to organize new
food resources and distribution. The
difficulties of feeding their armies and
civilian populations has brought vex-
ations to every European power now
at war.
Although the United States nominal :
ly produces enough food to meet every
home demand and "a surplus for ex-
port. administration officials realize
that in war the country's food problem
may present serious embarrassment.

Large Areas on West Side of
Bitter Root River No
Longer Restricted.
DANGER is LESSENING
Report Shows Remarkable
Progress Against Spotted
Fever Plague.

Release of a large area in the Bitter
Root valley from woodtick quarantine
was ordered yesterday by the Montana
State Board of Entomology. which
held an all-day session in Missoula.
Roughly indicated. the released terri
tory is a strip Of varying width on the
west shore of the Bitter Root river, ex-
tending from a point near the Mis-
soula county line to and above Ham,
ilton.
The release Of this territory from a
quarantine imposed by the board is
the first actual evidence of the sue
cessful progress of the fight state and
federal bureaus have been waging
against spotted fever in the Bitter
Root. 1t means, according to Pro-
fessor r. A. Cooley. state entomologist,
that the Bitter Root valley is gradu-
ally being relieved of woodticks, car
riers of the disease. The district now
released has either been freed of ticks
Oh found not infested by them.
State and Federal Officials.
At the meeting Of the board yester-
day were Professor r. A. Cooley, Dr.
w. +. Cogswell. secretary Of the state
board of health; DIR. w. J. Butler
state veterinarian; DR.. l.. d. F,ricks,
representative of the United States
bureau of public health. and DR.. w. v.
King, representative of the federal
bureau of entomology.
nSk~.
Territory in the Bitter Root valley
will be further released from quar-
antine as the work of eliminating the
tick continues" said Professor Cooley
yesterday. 1.-THE boards plan is to
narrow the quarantined district as
fast as possible until the tick has been
quite exterminated. That the district
released today is free is due to the
fidelity with which the quarantine has
been observed"
The quarantine in the tick districts
in the Bitter Root has restricted the
shipment of livestock to and from the
barred zones at certain season. Own
ers of stock have. moreover. been com.
PEELED to dip their animals and to take
other precautions against ticks. BY
grazing sheep much good has been
done.
Report 10 Favorable.
The biennial report of the state board
OF entomology, just issued shows that
progress has been made. Only five
cases of spotted fever were reported
in Ravalli county last year.
Work in the valley has been shared
by state and federal authorities. Half
OF the quarantined district has been
handled by the state and half by the
federal bureau of health. Rigid quar-
antine regulations have been enforced
and untiring efforts to exterminate
the tick have been continued. That
the work is succeeding is indicated by
yesterdays action and by the boards
report.
