SEVEN BILLION
BILL IS SIGNED
.BYTHEPRES|DENT.
GREATEST APPROPRIATION BILL
IN HISTORY OF NATION BE-
COMES LAW.
tBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Oct 6.-The larg-
est appropriation measure in the his
tory Of the United States became
law today when the president signed
the urgent deficiency bill carrying
$7,75S,124,OOO, principally for war
purposes.
Since congress convened in its
extraordinary war session last April,
it has placed at the disposal of the
administration seventeen billion dol
lars and has authorized contracts
for almost two and a half billions
more. Most of the money was for
war purposes, including seven bill
lions for loans to the allies.
The appropriation committees,
through their chairmen, Senator
Martin and Representative Fitz-
gerald, made the figures public to-
day, coupling with them the declara-
ton that congress had done its
work in furnishing the money for the
war very effectively,

wait with the same apparent non
chalanoe of their more youthful com
panions. Vendors, quick to take ad-
vantage of the situation, appeared
with lunch stands and sandwiches,
coffee, cushions and tobacco, and
these articles we're soon on sale.
Business was brisk throughout the
hours as midnight approached.
Although confidence was rampant
among the camp followers of the two
teams, there was little evidence OF
heavy wagering Most of the bet
ting was confined to sums ranging
from SIS to s25 and these amounts
we're placed at or close to even
money. It is probable that in the
aggregate the total reached into
thousands of dollars, but there were
no records of either large individual
or pool wagers.

WAR PARTY
IN SENAT
ARRA|GNED
lAFoLLETTE DEFENDS HIMSELF
AGAINST AccusERs IN
CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Senator
LaFollette replied to his critics in
long speech. He asserted the war
party" besides carrying on a cam
paign of libel and character assas-
sination against members of con
gress, was attempting to suppress
discussion of war issues and intimi-
date the people themselves BY in
vading their homes and unlawfully
throwing them into Jail. He quoted
war speeches of Lincoln, Webster
and Sumner, assailing the govern
ment's policy He made no reference
to his speech at st. Paul and dealt
with criticism of himself only gen
orally.
LaFollette said six senators
and about fifty members of the house
voted against declaration of war
Immediately there was let loose up
on these senators and representa-
tives a flood of inyective abuse
from newspapers and individuals who
had been camoring for war, un-
equalled in the history of civilized
society. The triumphant war party
has pursued those congressman with
malicious falsehoods and recklessly
libelous attacks, going to the ex-
treme limit of charging them with
treason against their country"
He charged the war party was try
ing to intimidate sovereign people,
telling them they must be silent
while the government does things
vitality concerning their well-being
and the happiness of their lives.
Senator Kellogg accused LaFollette
of misstating the facts in his St
Paul speech and denied that the
United States went to war to secure
Americans the right to travel on
munition-laden ships or protect loans
made by Morgan & Co to foreign
governments.

Following is some more advice the
park department gave:
Early spring and fall are the two
periods when planting can be done sue
cessfully 1t is important. however, to
start preparations in advance DO not
wait until the best trees are sold ont
but order your trees Mt once
After you get the trees this is what
should be done.
dig the hole in accordance with
specifications the park department will
supply. Replace the old. impoverished
soil with rich, mellow loan See that
the roots OF the trees are protected and
kept moist from the very minute they
arrive until they are placed in the soil
Before placing the trees in the pit the
roots should be examined. all bruised
roots cut off smoothly and the ends
covered with coal tar. The tree should
then be set IN the hole ut the same
depth as 1t stood in the nursery The
roots should be carefully spread ont
and the soil worked In tightly among
the rootlets. More good soil should
then be added and stamped and before
the last layer is filed in thoroughly
watcred. The last layer should remain
loose.
During the first season the tree
should be watered and cultivated at
least three times week. especially on
hot summer days"
