BRITAIN RECEIVES
S2OO,0OO,OOOtOAN
Secretary McAdoo Hands
Treasury Warrant to Ambas-
sador Spring-Rice.
FIRST TO ENTENTE ALLY

Secretary McAdoo today hand
ed tire British ambassador a
Treasury warrant for $4,000,
600, the first loan made to any
entente government by the United
States under the S7,ooo,ooo,oo 900
war finance measure.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. British am
bassador. handed to Secretary McAdoo
a receipt on behalf of the British gov
ernment and the transaction was COM
plete.
The transfer of the big sum was made
in Secretary McAdoo's Office in the pres
ence of Lord Cunliffe. governor of the
Bank of England; federal reserve board,
Treasury and British embassy officials.
The amount of the loan was deposited
today in the federal reserve banks by
banks subscribing to the $3.50. .000, 900
issue Of Treasury certificates of in
debtedness due June 80. The $50, 900, 900
remaining of the issue will be disposed
Of in a manner yet to be announced by
Secretary McAdoo.
Takes Place Of Private Loan.
The loan will take the place of a pri-
vate loan which Great Britain had con-
templated obtaining from ]. P. Morgan
& Co. on securities Of the Canadian
Pacific railway. Arrangements looking
to the issue by Morgan & Co. had been
under way for some time when Secre-
tary McAdoo requested that they be
deferred and indicated that the gov
ernment would meet Great Britain's
immediate needs.
Incidentally, Great Britain will save
approximately So O00.0 600 annually in in
terest charges by obtaining the loan
from the government instead of from
private institutions, as the govern
ment's interest rate. will be 31a per
cent, as compared with minimum of
PEP cent which Great Britain would
have had to pay on q private loan.
Discussion of Great Britain's further
needs in the immediate future was con-
tinued at the conference among Secre-
tary McAdoo. Sir Cecil Spring Rice and
Lord Cunliffe. and later at luncheon
with the federal reserve board
Spending $s, 100000 Daily Here.
Great Britain is spending. it was rep
resented. approximately $4,000, 900 day
for foodstuffs and munitions in the
United States. Her needs therefore, ap-
proximate $3.50, 100000 a month. Should
the government adopt a policy of col
lecting the proceeds of the first big
bond issue by installments. covering
four months, Great Britain's needs dur
ing that period would be about $1,O00,-
Oe0. 600
From that sum, however, should be
deducted supplies at present purchased
by Great Britain on behalf of Italy and
Russia Preliminary reports on this
phase indicate that Great Britain's
needs during the four months for her
self alone would approximate $3.50, ,0O0,-
000 and sum of approximately that
amount probably will be her share OF
the rirst bond issue loaned the allies.

List of Draft Advocates.

Members on the floor and visitors in
the galleries broke into cheers at the
outset of debate in the House today
when Representative Huddleston of
Alabama, who opposes the selective
draft. read a list of names of men who.
he said. favored it.
Among them were Henry P. Dawson.
Frank A. Vanderlip. Frank A. Munsey.
Theodore N. Vail. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Elihu Root and J. P. Morgan. Huddle-
ston also declared that most of the
pleas for war and conscnption came
from members of such organizations
as the Harvard. Yale and Union League
clubs and not from the working people
Of the country.
Everybody who is familiar with in
dustrial oppression and reaction in its
most vicious FORM" he said, will rec
ognize the men named. They and their
associates are the men who rule the
nation. They rule 1t through their
newspapers and their wealth."
Representative Bankhead of Alabama
followed Mr.. Huddleston, declaring
strongly for conscription.

Members Failed to Volunteer.

Representative James of Michigan
caused ripple of excitement in the
debate when he charged that many of
the members now warmly supporting
the volunteer system were of military
age in the Spanish war. and yet had
not offered their services to the coun-
try. Representative Anthony of Kan
sas. a pro-volunteer member, charged
that conscription propaganda is being
fostered by munitions plant people.
Representative Caldwell of New York,
formerly opposed to conscription, an
nounced he is now ready to vote for the
draft plan because he believes it is the
quickest road to victory.
Representative Anderson of Minnesota.
advocating the draft. told of his own
enlistment for the Spanish-American
war at the age of fifteen years. His
mother. an invalid. signed his papers, he
said, when he told her he thought the
country needed him.
Representative Lenroot, Wisconsin.
declared the draft would do more than
the volunteer system to win this war
in the shortest possible time with the
least sacrifice of life" He said he be-
lieved his constituents would approve
that stand, but even If he believed
otherwise his course would be the same
as in war time. when the existence of
the republic was in danger, his first
duty was to his country and not to his
constituents

Oil Floated on Water.

Even more pertinent fact. as regards
the ultimate fate of the submarine, was
that the shell disappeared immedia tely
after the hit was made. The captain stat
ed that shell always ricochets in the
waters and can be seen again unless it
finds the mark. Oil also was seen in the
water after the submarine disappeared.
The Mongolia was going at full speed
and was long distance away when the
spray and foam subsided, but from the
bridge the officers observed the Spot

Question of Age.

The question of the age Of the men to
be conscripted was argued back and forth
to considerable extent yesterday after
noon. many of the opponents of con-
scription making fearful pleas against
tearing the young boys Of the country
away from their mothers. On the other
hand. it was argued that the volunteer
plan allowed boys Of eighteen to enlist,
! which would be one year younger than
any War Department plan yet offered.
Representative La Toilette of Wash
ington delivered one of the bitterest anti
conscription speeches, and in it he said
"The President is reported as having
given as one of his reasons for advocat-
ing the selective conscription of boys
between nineteen and twenty five his de-
sire to catch the slackers.' Oh. my God ,
Now, we go ahead and conscript an
army and as they pass along-going. many
of them, to a certain death-the public

those who have lived and sinned fsom

"Dressmakine Not an Art"

That dressmaking is not an art, but
labor was held by II jury in the United
States district court recently, in the
case of Albert de Vroye, husband of
Marie de Nroye, fashionable dress
maker, says the St. Louis Star. He
was fined 81 900 for violation of 6ed-
eral statute forbidding the importation
of contract labor into the United
States.
The statute leaves several excep.
tions. including actors and artists.
Shepard Barclay, attorney for De
Nroye, contended skilled dressmaker
is an artist.
The prosecuting witness was Bel
gian woman. She testified that in 1911
she answered an advertisement insert
ed by De Vroye in Brussels news
paper for premier dressmaker, cap
able of designing and executing dress
patterns. She testified she was hired
by De Nroye in Brussels at 80 francs
(about $72) month and brought to

be of the best, neither over nor under
ripe.
In canning berries or small fruits fill
the sterile jars as full as possible. Fill
the jars with heavy strip, using any
proportion of sweetness desired. the
more sugar that is used the heavier
the sirup. Now place the jars on a
trivet in cooker utensil, fill with boil
ing water to the shoulder of the jars,
boil five minutes. then remove the
utensil tightly covered to the cooker,
and let stand three hours, then re-
move, fill the jars with more boiling
sirup place the rubbers and tops and
seal. When larger fruits are canned
the same method is used, hut the
radiators are heated and the fruit
stands in the cooker from five to six
hours.
Canned StraWbe rries.-Pack the
fruit into sterilized jars placed on n
cloth wrung out of hot water. FIJI
the jars with a sirup which has boiled
10 minutes Put the jars on a trivet
in the fireless utensil. pour around the
boiling water until up to the neck of
the Jars and let boil five minutes. Re
move the cooker, fill the jars to over
flowing. put on rubbcrs and cover and
let stand until cold. Put away in "A
dark place to keep. Raspberries and
cherries are canned in the same way,
allowing the sirup to boil ten min
utes.
For canning fruit the usual method
Is to allow two and a half to three
cupfuls of water to pound of
sugar.
Never use a bent cover or one that
bulges up ON the top. New rubbers
should always be used. If the mason
jar Is used it is good plan to run the
handle of knife along the edge of
the cover after it has been sealed as
tightly as possible.

To Keep Water Cold.

An excellent way to keep water cold
a long time with little Ice is to take
pitcher of ice and water and set in the
center of newspaper; then, by gath
ering the four corners at the top and
bringing the ends together with a
strong rubber band around them to
hold close together. the air is exclud-
ed. pitcher of water treated in this
manner will stand all through the
night with very little perceptible melt
ing of the ice. and even after the ice
does melt the water will keep cold a
long time.
