Special Despdtch to The Sun.

CHICAGO. Aug. 31.-Aweary, and oh
so confused. the pacifsts fluttered into
Chicago this evening and now roost un-
easily under the caves Of the Fort Dear
born Hotel.
The heartless corporation that leased
their Rabbit Express to them pushed
them rudely into the Lasalle Street Sta
tion and left them fiat. They could not
make up their minds where they wanted
to go. Minneapolis. Fargo. Hudson. Mil
waukee or Washington. and the railroad
people couldn't walt until they adjusted
their troubled minds.
So they came to the Fort Dearborn
Hotel to coo in their artless way about
the injustices that command this wicked
world. They tried to reach Herr Loch-
ner at Minneapolis to find out what the
Herr wished them to do. but they couldn't
get telephone connection, another ruse
Of the money devil in the interest of the
militarists. They couldn't agree among
themselves as to what ought to be done.
though they sat for hours and rufiled
their feathery minds.
Now It appears they will seek refuge
in Chicago from the oppression which
denies them a perch in Minnesota. Wis
consin and North Dakota, and in the
Bill Thompson. and they hope and pray
that the pro-German Mayor will rescue
them from the humilating plight to
which their adventure has sunk. The

Kruse and others that were shooed out

start on with Pity.
Immediately after arriving in this city
the pacifists met in the assembly room
Of the Fort Dearborn to discuss the
Iitiableness OF their plight. Mis-, Julia

from Carlin and Salutsky and Pankcn
and Waldman and Sonnenschein aad

not later than October I. and the CAM

tary McAdoo announced tonight.
The size Of the loan was not stated,
nor was the interest rate. Interest, how
ever, will be at fper cent. II the terms
Of tA McAdoo bond bill pending in the
House are carried out. The McAdoo
plan makes the bonds subject to tho
income tax so far as affected by the
supertax on incomes This would make
the bonds yield. about 81, per cent to
the large holder and slightly moro to
the small holder.
Mr.. McAdoo recommended that the
supertax should affect only incomes
above $1,000. That is. a man having an
income OF less than $4,000 would pay
no tax on his income from the bonds,
while the man having an income Of
more than $1,000 would have to pay
the graduated income on the income
received from the bonds.
s3,OOO.OOO,OOO Issue Expected.
II is the general expectation that the
loan will not ne less than $4,000, 600 900.
and one estimate has placed it at $4,-
900. 100000. There Is no official basis
for either conjecture.
Secretary McAdoo declined to discuss
any of the details until the bond bill has
been passed. 1t was said tonight that
the Secretary had made no decision as
TO the size OF the loan.
Concerning a series of page advertise
ments which have been inserted In WASH
ington papers by the American Press As
sociation. calling on the Treasury De-
partment to conduct a nationwide PAID
advertising campaign for the second
loan. Secretary McAdoo said that to ad-
vertise on a broad and liberal scale
without discrimination would require an
appropriation much in excess OF what
Congress so far has made available. l'o
said. however, that the question still was
receiving the consideration of the De-
paftment. as the value of such an ad-
vertising campaign was not underes.i-
mated

passed announcement of the details O.

Police to Be Neutral
Should Carmen Strike

Instructions to policemen In the
event Of strike by street railway
employees here were issued by Maj.
Pullman to all members Of the
force yesterday. as follows:
Members Of the police force are
hereby enjoined by the Commits
sioners to maintain strict impair
tiality with respect to the threat
ened street car strike.
Their duty Is to preserve order
and to protect persons and prop
erty. In this situation they must
not take sides.
Remember that a police depart
ment Is gauged by the acts OF its
individual members. Your duty IL
to give the best police service that
is in you. Be careful. Be alert.
Do not be thoughtless at any time.
Remember that 1t Is better to
talk too little than too much. On
or OF duty. a police officer is the
target for the eyes of the public,
and IL he does not conduct himself
in an officer-like manner he is
quickly observed.
In this strike situation, the same
as at all other times, disorder will
not be tolerated.
Keep in mind that the average
citizen of Washington in any walk
of life Is law-abiding. II you find
some one who is thoughtlessly or
otherwise violating the law or po-
lice regulations. always warn him
that such an act is illegal, unless
the breach Of peace should be seri-
GUS: in serious cases you should
take proper police action promptly.
Prompt obedience to orders from
headquarters Is required. De-
mands or requests from parties in
interest must be referred to head
quarters, except in cases of actual
emergency.
Every officer must exercise judg-
ment and conduct himself so that
no Just charge OF partiality can be
made against him.
Go about your work cheerfully.
To handle this situation properly,
however. you must be firm as well
as good-natured. Disorder will not
be tolerated.

Of thirty days.

other proposition cannot be reached be-
fore II o'clck tonight. We fear that it will
net be possible for us to restrain the
employees of this company from suspend
ing work. because our agreement expires
at midnight. 12 o'clock.
The company Is forcing the individual
contract, has already discharged some
men and will no doubt discharge others,
and consider their contract arrangements
with US at an end. And we feel that
your commission should appreciate the
situation that confronts US. and not hold
us responsible for suspending work when
to remain longer in the service would
mean the complete Generalization and
destruction OF our union.

They Garry Arms.

Neither the Commissioners nor Major
Pullman, superintendent and chief Of
police. look for any disorder should there
be a strike of street car men.
Rumors that complaint had been made

breakers and guards carrying firearms
! were last night set aside when Major
Pullman announced to a committee Of
the strikebreakers taht the police would
allow no violence.
The men from the other cities under

be no violence.
Major Pullman gave the strikebreak-
ers to understand that any member Of

would be treated as any other violator
of the law.
The police will stand neutral in the
matter. They have nothing to do with
either side of the controversy it was
stated. The function of the police is
merely to protect lives and property anc
