Washington, April 14.-The house
passed the administration $1,000, 900 900
bond issue this afternoon practically as
suggested by Secretary McAdoo pro-
viding for the immediate loan of $3,000,-
900, 900 to countries now at war with
enemies of the United States.
Throughout the two days debate on
the measure there was little opposition
to the terms of the bill which places
in the hands of President Wilson and
Secretary McAdoo unlimited authority
in making the greatest individual loan
in the history of the world.
There were no dissenting votes ON
the roll call. 1t took less than Is
minutes to complete.
The bill will now go to the senate.
AS passed, the bill provides that none
of the bonds shall sell at less than par.
The loan to the allies must be made
during and not after the war and no
part OF it can go to nation not at
war with Germany
There was scarcely tremor of excite
meat during the debate over the historic
measure. When it passed there was no
more stir than if it were some routine
matter-thus raising $1,000 100000 by
single stroke.
No Serious Objections.
No serious opposition to the measure
developed today and republicans who
endeavored to amend the bill did not
carry their opposition to vote against
it.
Two republican amendments sponsor
ed by Representative Lenroot, of Wis
coasin, were written into the bill this
afternoon. On provides that the loan
to the allies must be made during and
not after the war and to the othter that
the foreign loan of $3,000,000 900 can
be made only to a nation at war with
Germany.
The house rejected amendments re-
lating to the domination and maturity
of the bonds and refused to curb the
power of Secretary McAdoo and Presi-
dent Wilson to handle these matters. 1t
also rejected amendments by Represen-
tatives Sloan and Green to name a com
mittee of the house ana senate to CO.
operate and advise the president in
making the loan to the allies.
A suggestion that Mexico might de.
mand a loan Of the United States if the
bill did not specify nations to which
funds might be loaned was made by
Representative Gillett.
- would hate to see the administra-
tion exposed to a request Tor subsidy
from Mexico" said Gillett.
Amendments Defeated.
AS the house got down to the final
stage of the measure amendments of all
sorts were offered. Representative
Towner of Iowa, republican, offered an
amendment to strike $4,000, 100000 --
the allies share-from the loan. He
said he wanted congress to control the
loan. The amendment was defeated by
2l7 to 3. Towner himself did not vote
for it.
Another amendment offered by Rep
resentatiye Moore of Philadelphia, pro
posed that the allied loan should lie re-
paid within 30 years.
Moore's amendment was defeated
without a division vote.

The frs prediction of responsible of

handing the German minister his pass
ports. but the cabinet deferred action
until late today.
In the meantime it was held that Ar
gentine would probably decide not to
go farther at this time than to regis
ter a sharp protest to Berlin.
The point was raised that the Monte
Protegida was technically registered
as an Argentine vessel, she was really
Brazilian and Italian. Her crew was
entirely composed Of Norwegians.
lFhe German minister held. briet
conference with President Irigoyen to-
day and emerged with the declaration:
