HALF BILLION T0. BE MONTHLY LOAN
 IF UNITED STATES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Prelimi- nary report of the treasury department upon which Secretary McAdoo will base his recommendation to the presi- dent as to the size of the first bond issue under the $7,000,000,000 issue under the S7,000,0 ,0000,000 finance law indicate that the United States will be called upon to finance the allies to the extent of at least S400,0 900 and pos sibly $500,000,000 a month.
 The tentative program also calls for the expenditure of virtually every dol lar of the borrowed money in this coun- try for foodstuffs, munitions, coal, clothing. railway equipment and other supplies.
 The estimates still incomplete and subject to revision indicate the follow ing entente needs:
 For Great Britain s200,O00,000 to S250 G00,0 900 a month; for France from | s100, 900 to $125, 5,000,600: for Russia sum undetermined, but up to s100,- 0O0,000 month, depending largely upon the ability of manufacturing plants in this country to meet her de- mands, mostly for supplies other than foodstuffs and munitions; for Italy about $50,000,G00 a month.
 Should these requirements be met III ticIT eDLlielN- lllt oO,uOVsOub,UvU l available for lending the allies would
 be exhausted in from six to seven and
 one half months. It is likely, however
 that the preliminary estimates can be | pared down to point where, without emitting essentials, the huge loan could | be made to cover requirements for a much longer time, possibly for one { year.
 Secretary McAdoo and his assistants devoted today almost wholly to a study | of entente financial needs. i Indications were not lacking that Mir
 McAdoo would consider favorably the l suggestion that he offer soon another ] block of treasury certificates to the ] banks of the country through the fed eral reserve banks. The second offer ! ing, it was said, probably would be the

TO PREVENT GERMAN BORDER MENACE VILLA JUNTAS MUST BE SUPPRESSED
 AND PR0PACANDISTS DRIVEN OUT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

JUAREZ, April 24.-Ir the United States expects Mexico to prevent Ger mans from menacinS the American border, as General Carranza has agreed to do, then the American government should suppress the Villa juntas that exist in American border cities and should drive these Villa propagandists from the border; General Francisco Murguia, commander in chief, of the northeastern military zone. said tonight before leaving for Casas Grandes in pursuit of Villa.
 We are now fighting a common enemy of the United States and MeXi- co in Francisco Villa" General Murguia said. We fought to prevent him from approaching the American border Yet just across the same border, Villa agents and Villa juntas are permitted to operate more or less openly, there by aiding and abetting a man who is not Mexican. but an international criminal whose bloody motives are di- rected as much against the United States and the American people as they are against Mexico and the MeXi- can people,
 General Murguia said this as he sat in the private car of his troop train,
  handkerchief tied about his neck in place of a collar and his service uni form soiled with the dust of the desert.
 At this time, when the military and civil authorities of Mexico are doing everything possible to eliminate Villa he added, T believe the United States government would be doing a real ser vice. both to the United States and Mexico if these Villa conspirers were repressed and the conspirers arrested. Many border towns contain nests of rascals who are permitted to cOnnive against the established government of Mexico which has been recognized as such by the United States.
 ''The purpose of my present cam paign has been to prevent Villa from reaching the American frontier and to give battle to him wherever I could To- cate him. Tonight we are bound for Casas Grandes to prevent Villa reach ing a point where another raid across the American border would be possible. That was the reason for my campaign from Casas Grandes and 1 believe it has been successful for we have scat tered Villas followers and forced him to disorganize his command into small rowing bands of bandits.
 without llAlnS the lIHle, 1 diH cON- fident that our present method of campaigning against Villa will be successful and we will either capture or kill Villa and his leaders and for ever end the reign of Villa terror in the north
 Asked what he would do with Villa should he succeed in capturing him alive General Murguia laughed and said, jokingly, he would loan him to an American circus to be exhibited in a cage throughout the United States.
 You Americans have an expression Catch the bear before cooking him. This applies to Villa" he said.
 General Murguia reiterated his denial that he had amy German officers in his command, adding that he had neither Germans, Americans, Chinesf, or other Continued on Page Two)

ADMIRAL DE CHAIR SAYS SUB MENACE

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Rcar Ad- miral Sir Dudley R. $. De Chair, the veteran naval officer of Great Britain S war commission to the United States, gave Washington newspaper correspon- dents today a first hand story of some of his experiences during the two years he commanded a patrol fleet chasing German submarines. Without mini mixing the gravity of the submarine menace he confidently predicted that it would be overcome.
 Commenting oil suggestions that Ger many might undertake d submarine campaign on the American coast. the admiral said this would not be profit able from the German point of view without extensive supply bases on this side of the Atlantic.
 The admiral spoke of the memorable lessons the allies had learned in the war and said he and his colleagues had come to place them at the disposal of the American government.
 T only Wish,'' he said, that l could tell you the number of German subma- rines that we have sunk. Unfortunate ly, that is a naval secret as also are the means of detection of submarines and of combating them, which it will be necessary to guard in closest secrecy until the end of the war.
 Your navy has been furnished with full details, however, by the present mission"
 Of the prospect of submarines ap- bearing in American waters, Admiral De Chair said:
 Tt would not pay Germany to in- augurate a general submarine cam paign off the American coast unless they could establish bases here. Each submarine carries from eight to ten torpedoes, besides a limited fuel supply which would largely he wasted in the i long trip over and back, not 10 mention the warm reception she would probably receive.
 Nobody knows exactly how many submarines the Germans are building but we know they are working at fev- erish speed and hay heard reports that ! they are turning out from two to three a week. The time of construction is about eight months. with d similar (Ccntinued on Page Two)

 WASHINGTON, April 26.-The great task of O-Ordinating all the branches of work to be taken up here by the British war commission progressed so far today that the ground practically is laid for formal conferences with the French commissioners and American officials.
 Foreign Minister Balfour devoted most of the day to arranging the dis tributiOn of the subjects to be taken up. The discussions to date were stated today to have brought about complete agreement by British and American of ficials as to main principles involved. In addition to the statement by Mr. Balfour yesterday that no treaty of al liance was sought, and to the financial arrangement which has already pro duced a S200, 900 loan to Great Bri- tain it became known that MT. Baifour and Secretary McAdoo had agreed on the general principles affecting such momentuous subjects as shipping, banking. trade and exchange.
 British naval and military officials also have been in conference with their American colleagues but as yet no an- nouncements have been made. The ef- feet of the conferences on the naval policy of the government probably will ~ oPPoA SiiN OiiiN III lilt NOiSli uCbttf policy. The British officials are known to have submitted detailed information of the submarine situation and it is understood that their statements have strengthened the view that construc- tlon work should be concentrated upor vessels especially suited for combating the undersea menace
 Dr-N. K. Wellington Roo, the Chin ese minister, called on MT. Balfour this afternoon on what is generally consid- cred to have been an important mis- sion.

 WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE CVia London), April 26. - Despite all the wondrous war weapons modern science has created, the cold steel of the bayonet has as- serted itself anew in much of the recent bitter fighting as the arm Of last appeal. As already related, the struggle ahout Monchy -PreuX since Monday have attained an intensity unequaIled by any of the fighting in the Somme campaign last year.
 There was one German position north Of the town and paralleling the Scarpe river which resisted four des. perate atta cks It was decided to bayOnet without a shot of any kind being fired to rob the attack of it's surprise nature. The attack was made along a three quarters of a mile front under cover of darkness.
 The British battalions were formed in comparatively close order and at the whispered word of command. trudged forward into the night. Grim and silent figures they were, some in kits. some in plain khaki, each man wearing a steel helmet, each having firm grip on his rifle With fixed DayOnet.
 Overhead shells were droning and back of the lines guns could be heard. But it was only desultory lombard ment going on and there were fleeting intervals strange quiet just where the determined line of British troops was approaching their unsuspecting foes. Four unsuccessful daylight assaults had left touch of chagrin which was to be wiped out in this getting of a man. There is little more tQ tell. The sound of fighting in the trenches was lost in the British barrage which closed down some distance behind the German position immediately the British sig nailed they had entered the position. This barrage cut off any German who attempted to flee from the bayonet charge. Thus, in ten minutes, with the (CCntinued OF Page TWO)

 The senate definitely committed itself today to final vote on the bill before midnight Saturday. The house. sitting far into the night, was determined to vote tomorrow if possible.

In the house the administration forces are confident the volunteer advocates will be routed by majority of between 25 and 50. With the volunteers sub stitute out of the way, the majority for the bill is expected to be overwhelming.

 Of foremost importance was long talk between Marshal Joffre and mem bers of his staff and Secretary Baker, General Scott, chief of staff, and sev- eral other American army officers. It took place at the home of Henry White. former American ambassador to France, where the French visitors are being entertained as guests of the nation.
 France is known to desire the send ing of an American eXpeditionary force to keep with her armies, and Marshal Joffre came to the United States pre- pared to give reasons for the opinion of French military experts that the sending of such a force is advisable. Information regarding the meeting be- tween the military leaders was with held.
 Soon after the conclusion of the con- ference Rene Viviani, vice premier Of France, head of the mission, made a statement to the American press in which he declared that the co-opera- tion of the United States in the war would mean not only a victory for France. which already was assured, but a victory of morality and right.

LONDON, April 27.-The frequent
 claims of Germany that her sub
 marine warfare is succeeding beyond
 hopes will doubtless be regarded in
 that country as fully justified as
 result ofs the publication of last
 weeks losses to shipping Tn yester- days newspapers.
 The official returns of details of sinkings and the menace to Great Britain's food supply implied in it are referred to today by the morning newspapers which unanimously en- phasize the seriousness of the U-boat campaign and the imperative ne- cessity for food saving.
 Special articles apd editorials dis cuss the outlook with emphatic, and in some cases, extreme gravity. Some writers attack the admiralty for not coping more successfully with the U-boats and others give it advice | while all of them insist that the people are eating far too much and say that if they do not curb their appetites disaster is inevitable. Some journals assert that ra- i tioning scheme has been decided up- on and that bread tickets are in the ! printers hands.
