HOLLAND LETTER
The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature of
the Country's Best Newspapers.

Although not until the middle OF
July will the Washington statisticians
be able to publish the first reports
which tell of various conditions which
identify the fiscal year that ended on
June so, nevertheless there are some
figures available which will serve in
taking account OF national stock, so
10 speak. The national inventory
which, as a whole, discloses whether
in any fiscal year, progress or depres-
sion has occurred, will not be written
probably until a month or six weeks
have passed. But we do know some
highly significant items which. as a
whole, with a single exception, tell of
progress in the United States so great
that 1t should stagger the imagina-
ton. Some of the statistics are in
figures so large that the mind can
comprehend them only by comparison
or illustration.

EXPECT PREFEMNTlALS
WILL FACE OPPOSITION
Bill Gives President Power
to Compel Priority for !.
Food Shipments.
BEFORE SENATE TODAY
Those Against Measure De
clare Authority Unreason-
able and Arbitrary.

Washington, June THE admins
tration bill empowering the president
to compel priority OF shipment for
foodstuffs, fuel and other necessities
during the war will be taken up to-
morrow in the senate with many Dem
ocratic and Republican senators pre-
pared to make vigorous fight against
it.
In conferences with members of con-
gress. President Wilson has insisted
that the power asked should be placed
in his hands, even if it never became
necessary to exercise it as a part OF
the food control program. Opponents
of the bill insist. however. that such
power would be unreasonable and ar
hitrary, and that preferential food :
stuffs shipment is adequately assured
by the present cooperative agreement
between the roads and the defense
council.
Senator Newlands. in charge of the
measure. has indicated a willingness
to accept an amendment by Senator
Hollis STIMULATING that the bill shall
not operate to curb labor's right tc
strike. but several senators OPPOSE
such a change and warm fight is in
prospect.

CHARGE ILLEGAL USE
OF DROVERS' TICKETS

st. Paul. June 7--Indictments charg-
ing II men with conspiracy and fail
ure to pay passenger fares were re-
turned today by the federal grand jury
here in cases involving the use and
sale at reduced prices of what are
known as Growers tickets, which
permit return Of men who accompany
livestock over railroads. The specific
charges involve acts committed by the
Chicago and South st. Paul stockyards
from November l. 1916, to February /
1917. The railroads over which the
men are said to have ridden are the
Chicago. Burlington & quincy and the
Chicago, milwaukee, 4 st. Paul. The
cattle were handled for Armour & 90
District Attorney Jacques said the
cases were of interest to the inter-
state commerce commission and cat
ttemen everywhere. Evidence had been
collected showing that the tickets al
lowing free return transportation had
been sold for ~ quarter and a third
of the regular railroad fare.

BUDGET MEASURE
BACK TO CONFERENCE

Washington, June The house to-
day rejected the conference report on
the $3,2Sl. 294.G4l war budget b0l be-
cause of a $3.0OO.OO0 appropriation in
serted by the senate for the purchase
of the old jamestown site and build
ings and the construction of a naval
base and training station there.
The bill was sent back to the con-
ferees with Instructions to eliminate
the exposition site provision. This
probably will be done promptly in or
der not to further delay the great war
measure which now has been the sub
ject Of conferences about two weeks
with disagreements over various pro
visions.
What shall become of the navy de-
partments request that the site be
acquired for an urgently needed nava
base and training station on Hampton
Roads will be left to the naval com.
nittee. They probably will report 6

ST. MARY'S CROWDED
 AT NEWS MISSION
Father Kennedy Speaks on "What
 Doth It Profit a Man?"

The mems mission at St. Mary's church, given by the Paulist Fathers, opened in an suspicious manner last evening when the edifice was thronged to the doors At 7:30 o'clock, when the services opened with congrega- tional singing, a new departure in Catholic missions, hardly a seat was obtainable and many were forced to take seats in the sanctuary. The members of the Holy Name society marched to the church in a body and occupied seats reserved in the center aisle. Led by Rev. Father Moran, the congregation raised their voices in splendid manner to the singing. Fol- lowing the singing, the rosary was said with Father Moran in charge.
 Rev. David w. Kennedy, leader of the band conducting the mission, was the preacher of the evening, and talk ing for his text, What Doth It Profit a Man If He Gaineth the World and Suffer the Loss of His Immortal Soul?" the speaker delivered a stir ring appeal to his auditors to lead a clean life and live up to the teachings of the Catholic church. Money, Knowledge and pleasure are the aims of many men in life, the preacher said, but after gaining these they pass to the great beyond, without havi.g given to the religious side of life what it demands for eternal salvation Fla ther Kennedy proved to be an inter- esting speaker and the closest of a1- tention was given to his remarks He outlined the plan for the services dur ing the week.
 At the close of the sermon, Rev, John T. Winters spoke briefly to his flock saying he hoped that the sp1en- did record made by the women dur ing the past week would be surpa sscd this week. The pastor spoke of the fine attendance that had marked oth- CT mems missions at the church and urged his auditors to strive to at tend both the morning and evening services, make confessions and receive communion.
 The services last evening were brought to a close with benediction, with Rev. Father Winters the cele- brant. At the o'clock mass this morning another large crowd was in attendance and again at the o'clock mass many of the business men and those who plan to attend the mission at that hour were on hand. The children's mission opened today at 8 o'clock and will continue until Thurs day.

IS KAISER BEAST
 NAMED IN BIBLE?
Interesting Observations in Ser
 mon Of Rev. Dr. Cross

''1s the Kaiser's number 666 9" asked Rev. Dr. E. B. Cross at the First Baptist church yesterday and in expound1ng upon this unique theme for his sermon the pastor made a number of interesting observations. A herewith printed:
 "All sorts of attempts are being published and spoken of, in which the present war is shown to be the end of the age, Armageddon. or the fulfllment of some Scripture proph- ecy. It may be permitted one of the historical school of Bible students to publish the general attitude of modern scholarship with regard to such inter- pretations of Scripture. Time forbids our dealing with all of them, but we may trespass upon the readers time for one item, namely, whether the beast mentioned in. Revelation 13:1S as bearing the number 666 Is some modern person.
 "A widely circulated device is pub lished to show that the Kaiser is the person thus mystically described as number 666. The proof is as follows: There are six letters in the word Kaiser. Arrange a column of sizes, one for each letter of the name. Then prefix to each six the numeral desig hating the position which each letter of the word Kaiser holds in the al- phatbet in order. Total up the col umns and the result is 666.

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
 at the Cause and Remove It

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi. tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar. coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects.
 All the benefits of nasty, sickening, pripin9 cathartics are derived from Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
 Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac- lice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint with the attendant bad breath.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive pil; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for week and note the effect. 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

BOND FOR BOYS CLUB

Supt. Crawford Invests $50 and
 Turns It in to Organization to Start
 Endowment Fund.
 Supt R. H. Crawford of the New Britain Boys. club invested $50 in a Liberty Bond this morning and inn mediately turned it over the the presi- dent of the club, Howard Platt. to be used as the nucleus of an endowment fund for the club. He did this with the hope that others might adopt a similar course.
 At present the Boys club has home but it has no endowment fund, which will be necessary to pay its running expenses and assure its fu- ture existence. The club is a big asset to the city and it is probable that others will see fit to follow in MT. Crawford's steps and assign their bonds to the fund. About a year ago MT. Crawford received $2.5o In gold from the boys of the club as gift. With the coin, he opened campaign for funds for the club which eventual ly amounted to thousands of dollars with which to purchase the new home on East Main street.
