The Second Draft.

Secretary Baker says no decision
has been reached as to when a
draft call will be made. There are
man deficiencies to be fitted up in
the first draft. There appears to be
some evidence OF undue leniency by
the civilian doctors who haye ex-
amined the men in certain sections,
probably due largely to the desire
Of local boards to make a good
showing in prompt filling Of their
quotas.
Decision Of the war department
on the suggestion that the remain
ing 100000 registered men be ex-
amined Immediately and classified
for service. in order that they may
have knowledge Of when to expect
a call to the cnlors and arrange
their affairs accordingly. awaits
action by congress on the war de-
ficiency bill. Funds to carry out
the project are contained in that
measure.
Secretary Baker said that Of SO me
IS governors who had been asked il
they believed it wise and expedient
to proceed with the examination Of
all registered men. only two oppos.
ing the plan. Those two did SO on
the ground that il would make too
great a demand on the time of the
examining boards. virtually all the
members of which are serving with
out pay. The department. the
secretary added. had not reached a
decision as to the wisdom of the
plan, and he indicated that none
was to be expected until congress
had shown its will in the matter.

now pending in the Congress passes

The Congress Of the United States
has authorized the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell to the American
people bonds of the United States
bearing four per cent interest. with
valuable tax exemptions. and con-
vertible under certain conditions
into other issues Of the United
States bonds that may be authoriz
ed by the Congress The official
circular Of the Treasury Department
gives full details.
There is now offered to the Amer
lean people a new issue of 5000. :
0OO,OOO Of bonds to be known as
the Second Liberty Loan. They
will be issued in such denomina-
tons and upon such terms that
every patriotic citizen will have an
opportunity to assist the Govern

the security Of a United States Gov.
eminent bond.
1t is essential to the success Of
the war and to the support of our
gallant troops that these loans
shall not only be subscribed. but
Overscribed. No one is asked to
donate to give his money to tn e
Government, but everyone is aske d
to lend his money TO the Govern
ment. The loans will be repaid in
full with interest at the rate of fou r
per cent per annum A Govern
ment bond is the safest investme mt
in the world; it is as good as cur
rency and yet better. because tn e
Government bond bears interest an d
currency does not. No other in :
vestment compares with it for safe
ty. ready -convertibllity into cas- b,
and unquestioned availability as
collateral security for loans in an y

Through the purchase of Libert y
Loan Bonds every one can help.
No more patriotic duty can be per-
formed by those who cannot &C

than to furnish the Government
with the necessary money to enable
it to give our brave soldiers aud
sailors all that they require to make
them strong for the fight and capa-
BILE of winning swift victory over
