TO HELP ENTENTE

Washington. April 26.-~The United
States as paymastor for the entente
allies must cXpend on their behaif APP
proxilnately half billion dollars n
month for at least six months ana
probably for the duration Of the war.
The truth became finally apparent
today when Count Macchi III Cellere,
me Italian ambassador at Washing
ton: NJ simon French inspector Of
finance and Lord Cupliffe, governor OF
the Bank OF England, held conference
with treasury officials and with Inc
federal reserve board.
Ii is understood that the tentative
program agreed upon is Substantially
as follows.
England shall have S20o,ooe,eop 4
month: France shall have $l2e,oot.-
geo a month Russia shall have Sioo'~
ah0, coo a month and italy shall have
$50, oo0. 900 month. These allow
ances are subject to change from
month TO month as the needs OF The
several countries alter, bait inns
schedule is substantially permanent
under the program laid down today
The funds. of course are to come
from the big war bond issue, $2.VoV,-
eo0. coo Of which * expected 10 he de-
clared about May l. As the loans are
made to the European nations, inc
HltpH states Sbdtt tahS ti'i4 9'fN
lies, bearing an equal rate Of inter
est. In addition. Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo wifi continue TO
issue treasury certificates Of indebted
ness These extremely flexible instru-
mentalities arc at the s"crotarN's dis
posal 10 the extent of $4,000 o0e,doo
as authorized in the new war sSnd
bill The secretary is recording sub
scriptions TO these certificates which
are still coming IN and shortly VIII
issue another large block, pTpba bly,
$500, 600. 00o, TO raise funds to lend 10
he entente allies.
No offers TO subscribe are being
turned back
The administration regards the is
sue OF these certificates very desirable
In that they bring the treasury ready
money and also place in the hands of
the subscribing bankers securities
which in turn can be paid INTO the
treasury in exchange for war bonds
when tho bonds arc issued. The work
of issuing the war bonds VIII be so
big that it necessarily viii consume
some time, and. therefore. the Ger

on short notice.
Italy Tsadl, in Need of Coal.
The needs OF italy as regards coat
we're laid before tho government to-
day. II appears that Itaiy's coal sup
pfv is almost completely exhausted.
Italy wants tho United states to es-
tabish big credit for her here, so
she may buy coal to keep her ships
and her munitions factories running.
II has been proposed that the German
merchant ships shall be made into
coal transports 20 rush fuel to Italy.
Members OF the French mission told
government offlcials today that france
wants the United states to arrange
credits for her wherever she has or-
caSlon to purchase supplies. This
would mean the establishment Of the
largest credit IN tae United states. but
would also mean the payment for
France of bills due English supply
sources and among ncutrals The
same proposal Is expected to be made
on behalf Of Italy.

call you a Stacker Therefore. with
this letter is q button for you coat.

done your bit in the navy
Now, just a word of caution. 1t

to wear it and be proud of it. And
if any one questions your patriotism
