 TO CLOTURE RULE
tContinued from Page One)

nous consent to fix a date for final VOL ing on either the entire bill or the war profits section. Several senators. how ever, signed with the understanding that the cloture rule would not be sought un- less filibuster developed. Among those signing were many favoring drastic in creases in waf profits and income tax rates. Presentation of the petition is not planned by Senator Simmons for several days or until after the war profits debate begins.
 "It now seems, probable" he said, "that the total amount of money needed for the fiscal year will be about sl9,OO0,Ooo,ooo. This estimate covers about $7,0O0 600 for loans to the allies, 5000, 000,0O0 of which already has been provided; sl,SoOooo'ooo for current expenses, exclusive of war, leaving about $1O,ooO OOO,00O for war ex- penses.
 "Included in the estimate is s176,ooo,ooo for the new insurance bill and $l,oooO0o'ooo for the shipping board.
 Two billion dollars may be added to the total of bonds to be authorized at the present session of Congress, making a total of approximately $21 100000 GOO avail able to the government during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918.
 Democratic Leader Kitchin said tonight that estimates submitted to him by the treasury department made it appear that the additional authorization probably would be necessary. Secretary McAdoo will be asked to explain the situation when he appears before the ways and means committee tomorrow to discuss the forthcoming administration $1, 53S 94S, 46O bond and certificate bill
 President indications, according to MT. Kitchin, are that $19,0O0, 100000 will meet the expenses of the fiscal year, but it is thought best to have 2,000, 100000 mar gin for emergencies
 Promised delay in presenting the bill caused MT. Kitchin to change his plans regarding the resumption of regular ses- sions of the House. IL will meet each day until the bill is reported but will transact no important business before then
 EXPENDITURE OUTLINED
 The s21, ,OOo, 100000 would be raised as fol- lows:
 Bonds for allied loans $7,0O0,0o0 600; pending revenue bill, $S,OO0,0OO00O war certificates, $4,oOO, 900, 900; bonds for domes- tice purposes already authorized, $2,OOO,- OoO, ,ooO; proposed new bonds, s2,OO0, 900 900; war savings certificates, $2,000,00 900, and regular revenue, $l, 300 00O,0O0.
 Approximately $11,O0o,0000OO of the fore going amounts are included in the bond and certificate bilf which the ways and means committee today began to con sider. The bill would authorize $00o, ,ooo. 900 for allied ioans. $3,00o, ,000,Ooo to be used in refunding 31A per cent bonds already au- thorized; 5000, 000,000 in war certificates and s2,000, 100000 in war savings certifi- cates. It also contains reauthorization provision for 5000. 900 in war certifi- cates and would provide for taking over other previously authorized bonds in the following amounts: Panama canal, $225 coo, 900; naval construction. $15o00O, 900; Mexican border control. Danish West h. dies and Alaskan railway, s100.o0O,o0o; 3 per cent Panama canal bonds issued in 1916, $63. .945, ,460.
 No attempt will be made, MT. Kitchin believes. to add the newly suggested $2,000, 100000 issue to the bill now before the committee. It will come in as sep arate measure, if at all.
 EARLY PASSAGE IMPOSSIBLE
 A brief meeting of the committee today to consider the bill made it obvious that hopes of leaders to pass the measure Wednesday could not be realized. An in- sistent demand for the fun discussion in committee and on the floor created doubt if the bill could be passed before the end of this week at the earliest.
 Several members indicated today that
