 IS DISCUSSED.

New York, May S.--An appoal for patriotic service and devotion 10 the
 nation in it's hour of need, made to-
 night by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. l before The Kings county republican
 committee in Brooklyn, evoked great l Ienthusiasm The meeting was at
 tended not only by the committeeman
 and party leaders of the county, but by many of the most prominent resi- dents of Brooklyn.
 A dinner in honor of Colonel Roose-

 Having failed in time Of peace 10 prepare for war" Theodore Roosevelt said in his speech, the United States and the entente allies will pay for tlis lact of folly before the war ends. Meanwhile. he urged, Americans must Lear themselves manfully in the con tlct and pay with our blood, send ing to the front as rapidly as possible a great force Of fighting men. The former presidenr discussed the oonty's anticipation in the war in
 it's military social and industrial phases. He suggested incorporation of | the unmarried men of the national guard of the sta,es into regiments filled oout either by the draft or from volunteers from the exempted classes, and the dispatch of these men to France or England for period Of in- tensive raining preparatory to taking their places on the firing line. Colonel Roosevelt emphasized neces- ty for the practice of economy and avoidance of waste, said there should he no improper profitmakng, but that reasonable profits should nor be elm- mated discussed methods of financing the war and asserted that the great problems which confront the nation could not be solved in a spirit of
 class greed" with capital and labor not in partnership.
 America has Q two-fold duty at this time, Colonel Roosevelt said-first, 'lmmed ately 10 meet with every in- strumont already available, the imme- oiate needs of the war" and second, permanently to shane our policy not
 merely in military, but in social and industrial matters, so as to place this republic on a permanent founda ion of iWstice and strength"
 Reiterating his approval Of oblea- | tory universal military training and | eryice, the colonel again urged use of
 volunteers not included in the draft

Washington, May S.--A war revenue bill designed to raise $lS0Q000, ,O0O by 'aXatin n during the coming year was approved finally in the house ways and means committee late today by unanimous vote.
 Chairman Kitchin announced that the measure will be reported to the house tomorrow, to be brought up fo- l consideration Thursday. He thinks it will be passed by the house without politiR divisicn within few days, though there will be vigorous opposl- tion to some features from both Demo. crats and Republicans. In the mean. time the senate finance committee will begin public hearings on the bill Fri. day with a view to being ready to report s on after the house acts.
 To bring the amount to be raised mp to the desired total the house com. mittee at today's session wrote into the bill a flat increase of 10 per cent in all existing tariff duties and 10 per cent duties on all articles now ad- mitted free, all estimated to bring in 100000, this mere than doubling the present tariff revenues. In addi. tion, 1t was decided bc make all in. come tax increases retroactive, begin ming with the present calendar year. Other taxes provided for would become effective on the signing of the bill.
 The income tax increases, applying to both personal and corporation in- comes. are designed 10 produce S533,. 00O,O00 more than the present income tax receipts,
 Most of the new revenue will come from the income, excess profits, and in. heritance taxes and additional tariff duties. but the levies of the bill would reach into many ether sources. Let ter mail rates would be increased from 10 3 cents an ounce and postal cards from to cents, while sl9000.000 would be added to charges against newspapers under new system based on the present parcel post zones.

BONDS WILL BE PAYABLE
 IN SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS
Maturity of Bonds Win Be Governed by the Ability of the Allies to Set. tie-The Maximum Denomination of the Bonds Will Be $too,ooo.

Washington, May S-Detaiis of the g 000,O00,000 liberty bond issue as to maturity denominations and terms of payment neared completion today at an all-day conference of treasury and federal reserve board officials While the entire program is subject to revi- sion indications were tonight that the conferees had agreed on the following features
 fMaJurty: The bonds 10 he re- deemable by the government. at it's option, in F years and due in % years.
 Denominations: The minimum de nominations to be sl00, the maximum $1OO,OO0.
 Terms of payment A small per centage, ranging from to per cent and probably 9 1-2 per cent, to be pay able at the time the subscription is offered, the balance 10 he paid in in- stallments."
 There probably will be at least four installments. pdssibly six. Install ments may be called for every two weeks or every 30 days.
 Formal announcement of the details will be made by Secretary McAdoo The conference among officials is to be resumed tomorrow morning to de. eide certain details before placing the whole program before the secretary for his approval The program, as evolved today, is incomplete. and may be materially altered before Mir. Me- Adoo makes his formal announce ment.
 In considering the question of ma. utrities the conferees were guided largely by the suggestions of repre- sentatiyes of entente governments, to which a part of the proceeds will be loaned. These representatives, have expressed a willingness to have the maturities set at any date that will be most eXpedient for this govern. ment At the same time. treasury officials have considered carefully the present financial condition of the gov. ernments to be benefited with a view to making the maturity accord with their convenience. In addition, off cials have sought to make the life of the bond such as would appeal 10 in. vestors seeking permanent invest ments.
 In the case of Great Britain it is felt that it would be comparatively easy for her to meet a 30-year bond easier, perhaps, than it would be fer France or Russia. Suggestions have been under consideration to fix the life of the bond at 50 years, but these, it is believed, have been disapproved
 The minimum denomination of the s0-called baby bonds" it seemed cer- tain tonight, will be $100. Secretary McAdoo personally would like to see the denominations made smaller, but the tremendous amount of physical
