unnecessary issues which could be postponed was an important contribu- tion to the conservation of the nations resource
 Mir MeAdoo took the occasion to emphasize again the importance of hastening enactment of the revenue bill now pending in congress.
 Unless the measure becomes a law in the near future" he said, it will not be physically possible for the streasury to frame the necessary regu- lations and to print and distribute the necessary form before the returns and taxes will be due The enforce ment of the law will necessarily be imperilled.
 "The wisdom Of such action is em- phasized by every sound economic consideration and wise tax policy. It is desirable and necessary from the viewpoint Of the treasury in condens- ing the period of readjustment. and from the viewpoint of labor and indus try generally"
 Mir. McAdoo reviewed the financial practices of the year, including the floating of short, term certificates of indebtedness in advance of every Lib erty loan to prevent the disturbing of the money market by the loans and to obtain the money needed by the treas ury in advance of loan receipts. He said the war savings movement had resulted not only in gathering in SS34. 100000 for war purposes up to November l, but it had helped to teach the American people thrift and econ omy.
 This wartime experiment has been SO successful" he commented. that it is hoped war savings certificates will become a continuing feature of the nations financing even after the restoration of peace"
 The report explained at length that a feature of the treasury's policy in distributing the SS,I71. .0O0.0O credits to allies during the year, has been to stabilize foreign exchange rates and bring the dollar nearer par in Euro pean countries. but did not mention the specific acts undertaken by the treasury 70 accomplish this. In ex- change for credits, France gave the

0OO,OO0. The naval expenditures in- cluded the construction of new ves- sells. machinery, armament. equipment
 and improvements at navy yards. To
 tai ordinary disbursements for the year amounted to $S.966, 900. 900 and ordinary receipts. excluding money received from Liberty loans amounted
 to $4.174000.000. Loans to allies dur ing the year amounted to S4.739. .0O0.- 900 additional.
 Looking forward. Secretary McAdoo found great difficulty in forecasting expenditures for the current fiscal year which ends next June 30 on ac- count of the sudden coming of peace.
 Estimates which he presented are based on calculations of each depart ment in advance of revisions since the signing of the armistice and he does not consider them reliable. With this explanation Mir. McAdoo forecast ex- penditures for this year at $20, 100000 for government purposes and $4.375, ,000,00 for loans to allies and S2,540, 100000 for redemption of out standing certificates and other debt cancellation. Total estimated dis bursements for the year were put at s27,71S, 100000.
 Against this estimate which actual expenses at the rate of little more than a billion and a half dollars month to date, indicate is too high. Mir. McAdoo calculated that the gov ernment will receive about $5,000, ,000.- 900 before the end Qf the fiscal year next June 30, from income and prof. its taxes, S1,100,0O0,O00 from other taxes, S190,000,000 from customs and S555. 100000 from miscellaneous sources. including S70,0OO,0 900 from in creased postage, making estimated receipts from ordinary sources S6,S46,- 000,000. In addition, he figured rough ly on little more than S5,000, 900 900 from further issues of Liberty bonds and S1,200,000,000 from war savings These figures added to receipts from Liberty loan bonds already sold make S14 .16S. .000, 900 the total of popular bor- rowings expected during the year. On this oasis total estimated receipts would be s21,O22, 900 900 or s6,695, ,0OO.- 900 les sthan tentative estimates of

disbursements. Actual developments are expected to change these calcula- tions greatly.
 The United States public debt last June 90 was S12.S96. 900, 900. without taking into consideration the S1,319.- GOO .OOO free balance in the treasury to partially offset the debt. The public debt has been increased since then by the fourth Liberty loan of nearly S7 .00O. 900. 900 and by treasury certifi- yates of indebtedness amounting to several hundred million dollars. The report disclosed for the first time the activities of the treasury's sinking fund to buy up Liberty bonds in an effort to keep their price from falling far below par. Up to Novem- Der l, it is shown. S244. .036, 800 worth of bonds. face value, had been pur- chased in the open market for S234,- 310,00O. or at an average price of about 96 per cent. and subsequently held by the treasury. Of this sum, S172,445,0 ,000 were second Liberty loan bonds. of both and 1-4 per cent issues; S70,- 935. .OOO were third Liberty loan bonds, and S65. 100000 were first Liberty loan converted bonds.
 The report also showed that the war finance corporation, up to October 3I. had made loans amounting to S67, ,716,- 900. of which S29, ,S63. 900 had been re- paid. leaving advances outstanding S37, 1852. .OOO. Most of the loans, or S64.- 739.0O0, went directly to war indus tries. Public utilities were the prin- cipal borrowers, while lumber com panies, coal operators, manufactur- CTS and stock raisers rank next in number of applications.
 The magnitude of the work of the capital issues committee was indicat- ed by the report that since its organ ization last May IT it has examined nearly 20O0 applications from prospec- tive issuers of securities, aggregating about $2,350. .00O,000.
 About 20 per cent of these appli- cations were disapproved." said the report. and these were mostly of a character involving new extensions which would not be contributory to the winning of the war. The proven tion of approximately s450,000,000 of

United States credit in France of S631 .275 900 for army purchases. Great Britain established similar credits of S115. 900 and Italy $5,2S4,O00.
 Turning to the enormous task of collecting S3,694. .6l9. 900 in taxes dur ing the last fiscal year. or more than four times the record collection of the year previous, the secretary empha- sized that this had been accomplished largely through the cooperation of business interests and individual tax payers.
 During the fiscal year 191S," said the report. "the bureau of internal rev. enue has been able to collect the larg- est tax ever collected by any country, an amount which represents a larger proportion of the nations war budget than any other belligerent engaged in the present war has been able to de- fray from tax revenues"
 From would-be tax dodgers the rev. enue bureau now expected to collect several hundred million dollars addi- tional taxes.
 Concerning the tremendous part played by the federal reserve system during the war Secretary McAdoo had this to say:
 The federal reserve system has permitted the enormous transactions connected with the financing of the war to be carried through without shock or disturbance and its services will not be less important to the gov ernment and the nation in facilitating the readjustment from a war basis to a peace basis and to assist and foster thereafter the development of agricul- ture, industry and commerce under normal peace conditions"
 MT. McAdOo dealt at length with the accomplishments of the war risk in surance bureau, which has built up an organization of 14.0O0 employees. necessary for the issuance of about a million checks every month to sol diers or their dependents for allot- mentss allowances, disability cOmpen- sation and insurance.
 Tt is certainly one of the greatest business enterprises in the world" he said, "and undoubtedly the largest life insurance concern on the globe, hay

He said further that he had wired to St. Louis for his brother, Bert. to come at once and to take charge of funeral arrangements. When the judge told him that he would be granted a pre- liminary hearing on Friday Hollings- worth begged that the hearing be set for Thursday saying that the funeral would take place on Friday and that he was confident that when the facts of the case were told at the hearing. he would be found not guilty and set free to attend the funeral. an innocent man. He failed 10 furnish bond which is set in the sum of S15.000
 Hollingsworth was arrested last night following coroner's inquest in which a nurse, Mrs. L. J. Horton. testi- fled to the brutal treatment which she alleged was accorded Mrs. Ellen Hol- lingsworth by her son.
 Mrs. L. J. Horton testified at the eoroner's inquest yesterday that dur ing the 13 days in which she acted as nurse to Mrs. Hollingsworth, the son

 That Mrs. Hollingsworth often ex- pressed intense fear of her son was stated by the nurse, who said that when she arrived at the Hollings- worth home in the mornings, she often found the woman tied to the bed, and that when she had loosed the letters and removed the gag of cotton which had remained in the mothers mouth all night stifling her cries for help, that Mrs. Hollingsworth would kiss her hand and beg her not to leave her alone with her son again, repeating over and over, He beat me last night.

 Referring to federal farm loans amounting to SIS. .52s, ,OO0 during the year ending last September 30, the report said: The existence of this system operated under government supervision, granting long-term loans at reasonable rates of interest. has unquestionably saved the, farmers of the United States from many exac- tiOns, foreclosures. and denial of fin ancial accommodations during this period. The system has been a harbor of refuge for the borrowing farmer Through it's competitions with other loaning agencies it has reduced inter- est rates almost everywhere in the United States and has saved the farm CT in large measure from those finan- cial troubles which otherwise must have beset him. It has constituted the greatest governmental agency for financing the basic industry of the United States-that oi agriculture.
 The report also dealt with the treas ury's activities in licensing and su- pervising the liquidation of enemy in- surance companies operating in the United States; the public health serv- ices tremendous accomplishments in combating the influenza epidemic and maintaining. sanitary conditions about camps; the international high cOmmis- sion's success in promoting uniformity of commercial regulations between the United States and Latin-American countries. and the tasks imposed on the customs service in connection with the policing of barbors during the war.

BASEBALL WILL
 START IN SUMMER
 STATES JOHNSON
American League President Asserts That Big Leagues Will Have Sanction of Ma tional Government
cRv Review Lensed wIren

z
 CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The positive an nouncement that professional baseball would be. resumed in the major leagues next summer, with govern ment sanction, was made by Presi- dent Ban. Johnson of the American league tonight.
 President JOhnson's announcement was made after he had received a let ter frcm General March, chief of staff of the army, who advised that the war department, under present conditions, could see not reason why the game should not be resumed.
 "The war department closed us down last September. by declaring baseball non-essential and it was only proper that the department should be consulted in regard to our plans for re-opening," President Johnson said. Consequently I put the entire situa- ton before General March for his ap- proval"
 General March's reply to the Amer jean league executive follows:
 "I have your letter of November 30 concerning the resumption of baseball next year, and would advise you that the war department, under present conditions, sees no reason why the game should not be resumed in accord ance with the usual schedule.
 'It is our policy to muster out of service as rapidly as possible all the men now in the United States, who number some 100000 and we are re- turning from abroad for the purpose of discharge a number of men which is only limited by the shipping at our disposal.
 Unless there are some changes in the situation, which now seem impos- sible, there is no reason known to us why the great national game should not be continued as usual next year. The wholesome effect of a clean and honest game like baseball is very marked and its discontinuance would be a great misfortune"
 President Johnson understands that the stars of baseball who joined the service among them Tyrus Cobb, pitcher Alexander. Benny Kauff, Hank" Gowdy, and others, will be among the first to receive their dis charge so they will be in position to join their clubs at the spring training camps. Cobb is a captain in chem ] ical division now in France. i
 Definite plans for the resumption 1 of the game will begin at the annual i meetings of the major leagues this . month The National league will hold its sessions in New York on Decem- i Der 10, and the American league, in all | probability, will convene in Chicago | two days later.

ardship before retiring as the nations finance minister Throughout the re port. Mir McAdoo refers repeatedly to the remarkable achievements of Amer ica's civilian population in providing the money and materials for war, and acting as the "eager second line of defense"
 Commenting on the showing of fin ancial arrangements in great detail by the document, treasury librarians re- called that the financial history of the Civil war is buried in great stack of musty ledgers, and probably never will be officially compiled.
 For the Is months ending last June 30 Secretary McAdoo estimated that the actual cost of the war, with allow ances for the governments ordinary expenses in ordinary times, amounted to $I3,222, ,0G0,000 Nearly half of this, or s6.499, 100000, went into perma- nent improvements, in the form Of ships, shipyards, war vessels, army camps, buildings, and in loans to al lies or to American war industries. Of the years expenses 31.6 per cent came from taxation.
 The civil establishment of the gov ernment during the year spent $I ,507,- 900. 900, while the war department spent $5,6S4. 100000 and the navy ST. 36S, 100000. For support of the army alone the government paid out $4,4l2,-

surrounded The Gateway, and not long
after the much-heralded parade of
Socialists, Internationalists, advocat-
es of "the release Of all political pri-
soners," made it's appearance. There
were about 20 men and few wo-
men in line.
At the head of the marchers an
elderly man carried a large Ameri-

carrying between them large paper

There were others, but the posters
were not left intact long enough to be

marchers at the same time the crowd
caught sight of them. The crowd ar

had been carried were left in the
