WANT VOTE HELD, ON
CONSUMPTION QUESTION
Opposition in Canada to Fight Com
pulsory Military Service in
the Dominion.

Ottawa, Ont.-The line of demarka-
ton in Canada over the proposal to
enact a measure of compulsory mill
tary service was defined in parliament
Tuesday.
Premier Borden moved second read
ing and affirmation of the principle of
the compulsory service bill, of which
he has given notice, and Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, opposition leader, offered an
amendment declaring that the propos-
al for compulsory service should not
be passed by parliament until it had
been submitted to the votes of the peo-
pie on the referendum and had receiv-
ed their approval.
Organized labor, he said, had by
resolution declared against compul-
sorry service until the voice of the peo-
pie had been expressed upon the ques-
ton. Referring to the offers of coali-
ton, Sir Wilfrid held that the offer
should have been made before and
not after the prime minister had pub
licly committed the government to the
passage of a CONSUMPTION law.
The debate is expected to continue
for the remainder of the week.

HOOVER GETS WILSON'SORDER
Volunteers to Be Put to Work on
Conservation Of Suppl!es.-Presi-
dent Calls on Housewives to
Cooperate Under Leaders.

hington.-Congress' delay in
passing the administrations food
bills drew from President Wilson
this week an order directing Herbert
c. Hoover to proceed Immediately with
organization of the new food admins
tration, in so far as it contemplates
food conservation and elimination of
waste through the cooperation of vol
unteer forces.
while it would in many ways be
desirable to await complete legisla-
ton establishing the food admins
tration," the president wrote, cit ap-
pears to me that so far as voluntary
effort can be assembled we should
wait no longer"
Plans for enlisting every house
wife in the country as a volunteer
member of the food administration
have been announced by Mr.. Hoover.
Every woman will be taught to save
food in the kitchen and how to pur-
chase.
President Wilson's insistence that
| the food bills be speeded up caused
the senate to put the food con-
troll bill next on the calendar, and the
measure will be taken up Monday,
when the house also begins debate on
the bill. The measure was reported
to the senate without recommendation.

EXPLOSION CAUSED
BIG LOSS OF GRAIN
Elevator at Minneapolis Burns and
$4,000 of Wheat Consumed
Many Lives Menaced.

Minneapolis.-Fire caused by
terrific explosion in the top of the
elevator of the George c. Bagley,
Elevator company, Minneapolis, Sat
urday night, destroyed the building
and its stock of wheat, threatened
the lives of 10000 people who re-
fused to move away from endanger-
ing tanks containing $4,000 gallons
of gasoline, and caused a property
loss of 100000.
Following the statement of SOL
diers and employees of the company
that the explosion could not have
been caused by wheat dust, state
and city fire marshalls Immediately
began an investigation. The wheat
stored alone was valued at $4,000.
The fire started at the top of the
elevator, 70 feet above the ground.
after the explosion, and hurled the
passenger elevator and mass of
timbers to the first floor.
AS the walls crumbled and fell in
the flames crept nearer to the one
story building of the Climax West
ern Oil company across the street.
In the building was stored 10000 gal
Ions of lubricating oil and at its
rear were IA tanks containing $4,000
gallons of gasoline.
A strong wind carried the flames
so close to the oil house that the
police and soldiers ordered the dis.
trict cleared, but the thousands in
the vicinity refused to move. A sud.
! den shift in the wind and hard fire
| fighting saved the oil plant.

LIBERTY LOAN WAY

SECRETARY M'ADOO TO REJECT
COIN OVER THE TWO Bill
LION MARK.
BIG OFFERS TO BE REDUCED
Keep Tab on Late Comers-Banks
Buried In Offers-Appreciates
Work Of Publicity in Making
Loan a Success.

Washington.-Secre McAdoo an
nounces that no part of the great
oversubscription to the Liberty loan
would be accepted, and that his state
ment of May 10 in which he declared
that the issue would be limited to
5000 100000 stood good now as then.
Mr. McAdoo's announcement will
result in pairing down hundreds of the
larger subscriptions until the total
reaches the 100000 900 limit. How
much will have to be taken from the
amount the country offered to take
is still an unknown quantity. The
oversubscription will not fall below
$500, 100000 it seemed certain, and
may go as high as $90O,000,000.
Special TabuIation.
In disposing of reports that the
amount Of the issue might be enlarg-
ed to include all offers, Mr.. McAdoo
issued the following statement:
"Allotments of Liberty bonds will
not be made in excess of the two
billion dollars offered. l announced
this on May 10, when the details Of
the loan were first published.
II have asked the reserve banks to
tabulate separately. and on supple
mentary lists, the subscriptions re-
seived Friday, June Is, after noon,
in order that I may be in position
to consider, in making allotment of
the two billion dollars of bonds, those
applications which, through no fault
of the subscriber, were not recorded
on time.
ut is impossible to foretell what de.
cision will be reached in this matter
or to determine the basis upon which
allotments will be made until sub
stantially definite returns have been
received from the several federal re
serve banks. The organizations OF
these banks, unusually efficient, as
they are, have been overwhelmed by
the multitude of applications receiv
ed at the last moment.
81 shall avail myself of the right re
served in the circular offering the
bonds, to allot in full upon applica
lions for smaller amounts Of bonds
and to reduce allotments on applica
tions for larger amounts, as such
action will be clearly in the public
interest"
