WAR BONDS WILL BE
WIDELY ADVERTISED
Newspapers, Magazines, street Cars
and Bil Boards he Extensively Used.

Washington. April 22.-A nation
wide advertising campaign OF extra
ordinary proportions has been decid-
cd upon by Secretary McAdoo as the
most effective means OF diSpoSinG
quickly Of the $1,000. .000, 900 bond is
sue soon to be offered to the public.
SO many patriotic offers OF aid have
poured into the treasury department
recently that practically every method
of publicity in the country will be at
the governments disposal, without
charge. in helping 10 make the issue
a success.
Newspapers. magazines, street car
advertisements, even the billboards,
soon may be proclaiming the issue in
! big type and summoning every Amer
lean TO do his duty to his coutry by
subscribing. Large advertising agcn-
cics have offered their services free
', OF cost in writing the advertising and
otherwise assisting in the campaign.
Many newspapers have opened their
advertising columns without charge.
Officials have welcomed such offers
and expect others Of similar nature.
There will be no general campaign Of
paid advertising, it was said authori-
tatively tonight, nor the incurrence OF
any Items Of expense whatever that
are not absolutely essential.
Five million dollars will be avail
able for all items Of expense. A force
Of approximately 900 persons will be
added to the bureau Of engraving and
printing. already working night and

mands of the government and at least
200 clerks will be employed in the
clerical work incidental to the big
bond issue. This force will be obtain

ccivcd from many unexpected sources,
Department stores have offered not
only to accept subscriptions, but to
solicit them, and in some cases, to
make subscriptions easier for their
customers by buying bonds outright
and accepting instalment payments
for them. Express companies have
offered tho service Of their money or
! der departments free. Chains Of
stores dealing in various commodities
have asked If they might not be au-
, thorzcd to, receive subscriptions.
Patriotic societies. civic organiza-
tons, fraternties and hundreds of in
diyiduals have urged the department
to permit them to conduct an active
selling campaign.

RUSSIANS REFUSE
GERMAN OYERrURES
assurances Reach Washington That
Socialist Elemcnt In New Govern
mcnt Will Not Listen to German
Proposals OF Peace.

WASHINGTON, April lS.-AsSuranccs
der no conditions now conceivable
will the provisional government Of
Russia yield to the ovcrturcs from
German and Au!Crian socialistic
representatives TO negotiate a sep
aratc peace.
The entente embassies, with this as
surancc before them, confessed the
great sense Of relief they felt from
the apprehension under which they
have laborcd for the past two weeks
that the extreme socialistic elements
have so far dominated the provis-
sional government through soldiers
and workmens committees as SER
iously to jcopardize the integrity or
the entente alliance.
The gathering Of socialists at
Stockholm, known to be fomented
by Germans and Austrians, was look
cd upon with dread and suspicion
and it was feared that cunning ap-
pcals to the altrustic principles of
socialism, the universal brotherhood
of workingmen and such consideration
might force the provisional govern
mcnt to consent to a separate peace
TO terminate the war.
1t is now learned from an author
tive source that these apprehensions
and misgivings were based upon mis-
understandings of the aims OF the eX-
treme socialstic element in Russia
and Of the real strength of the pro-
vsional government. The informa-
tion received today Is to the erect
that. os far from contemplating any
pcace on the basis Of existing gov
ernment, the advanced Russian So
cialists want to carry their democrat
izing ideas by force into the enemy
countries and to appeal to their
brother socialists in Austria and Ger
many to raise in revolt and overturn
monarhies and establish true So
cialistic republics in their places.
This movement Is reported to be
gathering strength rapidly In Russia
among the soldiers and workingmen.

renew the campaign In the east and

PLEDGE WEEK
APPROVED BY
THE PRESIDENT
Appeals For Card In Every
Home And Public Eat
ing Place
SUPPLY OF FOOD
Is ABUNDANT
But Real Necessity Exists
Fer Saving Foods Most
Needed For Armies
lBx Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 29.-President
Wilson issued a statement yesterday
asking every home and public eat
ing place in the United States to
pledge its support to the food adj
ministration and to comply with its
requests. His appeal marked the
Inauguration of family enrolment
week, during which everybody in the
country will be asked to become a
member of the food administration
to insure nationwide cooperation in
food conservation.
The President said that only
through cooperation of the people
can the nation accomplish its object
in the war. The statement follows:
THE chief part Of the burden of
finding food supplies for the peoples
associated with us in war, falls for
the present upon the American peo-
pie and the drain upon supplies on
such a scale necessarily affects the
prices of our necessaries of life.
Our country, however, is blessed
with an abundant supply Of food
stuffs, and If our people will econo-
mize in their use Of food, providently
combining themselves to the quanti-
ties required for the maintenance Of
health and strength, If they will ELI
inmate waste, and IL they will make
use of those commodities of which
We have a surplus and thus free for
export. a larger proportion of those
required by the world now dependent
upon us, we shall not only be able
to accomplish our obligation to them,
but we shall obtain and establish
reasonable prices at home.
ITO provide an adequate supply of
food both for our own soldiers on
