Las General Assembly, Will recon-
med that a separate Insurance bill. ex-
cluve OF the Workmen's Compensation

te expenses OF administering the Com
bnsation act. Section &c OF the Com
lensatlOn act requires the Insurance

sary.

FIFTH WAR Loan
McAdoo Informs Banks of
Forthcoming Treasury
Certificate Issues
HEAVY EX7 7ENSES
ARE JUST AHEAD
By the United press.

By the United Press
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.--Secretary
McAdoo today announced plans for
"one more great popular campaign for
the sale of bonds"
In a letter 10 all banks, made public
by the Treasury. McAdoo outlined the
Treasury,s policy for the next five
months, embracing series OF bi-
weekly treasury certificate issues In an
ticipation Of the nth loan.
Cessation OF hostilitles, McAdoo's let.
ter said, has by no means brought to
an end the heavy costs. Government
expenditures for the month Of Novem-
Der will exceed two billion dollars and
establish a new record for monthly war
cost. The letter explained that there
can be no definite forecast OF disburse-
ments for the next five months because
Of uncertainties Of pending revenue
legislation.
1T ls, therefore, necessary that a
rational program for Government
financing shall be executed" the letter
continued. "The policy adopted by
the treasury OF laying before the bank
y
requirements is being followed now.
Il am writing you 10 inform you
OF the program for the ensuing five
months in order that every bank and
trust company may be abe to prepare
Itself to meet patrlotlcally the re-
quirements OF the Government"
McAdoo called attention to the gl-
gantic expense Of maintaining an army
OF occupation In Europe and 10 the
other war bills which must be met.
These bills cannot be paid, he de-
olared. unless the treasury continues 10
have adequate support from the people
at home.
The expenditures OF the govern
ment," the letter says, beginning July
4, 1918, TO November %. a period OF
less than five months, amounted TO
sS,2i3.0T0,OO0. Such expenditures during
the current month 10 & 4 ,}rd amounted
TO 1857, 10000, or at til rate OF $780,
10000 for The month"
McAdo0 explained TO the bankers that
the nth loan should be Of bonds
with short maturity term. He said Il
would be dlflcult TO set In motion any
plan for the continued sale Of govern
ment bonds during the period or reed-
justment. Current requirements, he
sad, would be taken care OF by the is
sues Of treasury certificates Of lndebt-
edness.
The first Issue Of these certificates
will be dated December 5, 1918, and will
mature May 6, 1919.
Evidently some time must pass be-
fore the readJustment from a war 10 a
peace basis can reflect Itself in material
diminution OF the daily cash outgo from
the Treasury" the letter said. Indeed,
the wise policy Of prompt liquidation
OF contracts might actually result for
a time In the acceleratlon OF demands
upon the Treasury"
Treasury disbursements during the
last four months have averaged about
81 650,Oo00O0.

Sale Of Tags
CANINE POPULATION
GREATLYEXAGGERATED

Any thought local citizens may have
had about the city waxing rich on the

town newspapers. was dssipated today

lowing the annual Appropriation to the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Animals had a balance of $40 and
out OF this sum was paid the wages
Of the officers detailed to issue the tags
as well as the cost Of printing the reg
istratlon books and other expenses.
The statement that there were more
dogs In this city than In other muni-
cipallty OF like population was also
denied by the police authorities. They
explained that while the contract
awarded by the Police Commissioners
yesterday for the 1919 dog tags totaled
$500 tags az a cost OF SSi. all OF the TAGS
are not used It is necessary at all
times to have a supply OF the tags on
hand and this year. only 1900 tags were
disposed OF.
According TO the record In Chief OF
Police Blacks oillce s3.i7i was obtained
through the registration OF dogs here

10 City Council, which body In turn al
lowed the Society for the Prevention Of

OF two officers. who enforce the laws
relative TO the registration OF dogs and
who lmpound the CANNES not registered
or muzzled. The upkeep OF the dog

gave their names as Erne Holmes ana
Lorenzo Arne were picked up by the
police Monday night in connection with
the robbery OF Joe Luskey,- of Delmar'
Iowa, at Helms brickyard Friday night.
The men practically admitted their
guilt. as part OF the stolen property
was turned over by them TO the au-
| thorities.
The robbery was the result, 1t N
alleged. of Luskey meeting Holmes and
Arne in an East Dubuque saloon and
having several drinks with them. The
trio became very soc:aole ana nnal!S
Luskey was invited by them TO take a
taxi ride. A machine was ordered from
local garage and when they had been
picked up one OF the two ordered the
driver TO proceed TO Helms brlckyarc'
Here they were let out and the taxi
dismissed II was said that when the

fell on the third man, beat him UP
severely. and then robbed him OF about
thirty dollars and valuable golo
watch.
After the police had heard his story.
q roundup Of all taxi drivers was
made, but he was unable 10 identIS
any OF them. It vas not until a short
time after that Chief Of Police Giilis

out 10 the secene. II was found that ne
was in no way connected with the
crime. but during the examination sew
eral clews leading to the arrest OF the
