WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March ,30--In a statement
issued here this afternoon. Secretary
OF War Baker said that he was de-
lighted with the prompt action OF
General Pershing in placing all OF
the Amesican troops in France at the
disposal of the allies. He said he
was certain this action would meet
with the heartiest approval in the
United states. where the people de-
sire the expeditionary forces to be Of
the utmost service in the common
cause.
Secretary Baker is anxious to re-
turn. to the United States and impart
the knowledge he gained here to the
American Government and pople and
to confer with President Wilson and
the Cabinet, regarding the future.
During his visit to the British
front, simultaneously with the COM
meneennent OF the great German drive
Secretary Baker saw actualities-the
saddest phases of warfare including
the civilian evacuation OF Peronne
and BapAume before the enemy
troops stormed those places.
At railroad crossing Mr.. Baker,
so he told the correspondents, en-
countered an American made automo-
bile. He thought it was american

Mr.. Baker did not state just when
he would return to America and
whether he was going TO Italy frst-
He reiterated, however, that he was
longing TO reach Washington and
take up various important matters.

conference on the war finance bill,
and that the bond bill would be left
in charge of Judge Hull OF Ten
nessee. AS the drive" for the new
Liberty loan was to begin April 6,
the bill ought to pass both houses
not later than April e. @.--r-
With Mr.. Kitchin's disappearance,
there was diversion which involved
no opposition to the passage of the
bill. Mr.. Fordney Of Michigan illus
trated the habit OF counting in bill
lions of dollars as 1t extends from
highest up to lowest down" He
had "A. bundle OF letters and memor-
Ianda from Hog Island and elsewhere.

ism on the percentage base and on

they would have shown that below

creases to its greatest possible eX-
tent as the limit is on" on expendi-
lures during the war period. As a
relief from the attempt to think in
thousands Of millions, they we're -ludi-
crous. One case was OF S75 for haul
ing 1900 feet of lumber half a mile;
another was $10.60 a cubic yard for
hauling gravel the same distance. II
was alleged that on contract in Mis-
.sissippi there had bee3 enc time
ikeeper at IS a day for every ten men.
though In Mr.. Fordney's business, one
was enough for 400 men. In another
case, the number OF foremen was
more than half the total of the num-
Der OF men under them. This recital
continued until Democrats protested
though rather feebly-and Mr..
Fordney ended in a splendid patriotic
outburst from which 1t might have
been inferred that he was as ready
to vote in trillions, If necessary, as in
bilHons-regardless OF grating by
both high and low flnanciers.
| This was the general tone of the
Republican side. Mr.. Fordney had
protested against increasing taxes
on this generation instead of issuing
more bonds. He said the proportion
of "ifty-fifty" between bonds and
taxation was grossly unfair to q
country struggling with the high
cost of living. On the Democratic
side, Mr.. Huddleston, of Alabama
said that while he had voted stead,
lily for all money demanded to carry
on the war, he thought poorly of the
kind of modern civilization which
had brought about such a holocaust
This was followed by applause from
the galleries, with men in uniform
joining in it. He condemned bound

dangerous, but unnecessary, wher

Chairman Kitchin, of the House
Ways and. Means Committee, who
opened for the bill, was treated with
the greatest respect on both sides OF
the House, and especially on the Re-
publican side, as he explained it sec
tion by section. The explanation
was that theabilI authorized an ad-
ditional bond issue of not quite four
and a half billion dollars "a, ,46l :
900, ,OOO), increasing the issues al
ready authorized from seven and a
half to twelve billion dollars. With
expenditures for, the year ending
June 80, 1913, estimated at over
sixteen billions and receipts at only
twelve and half billions; the deficit
was Of something over three and a
half billions. In addition to this, 1t
was necessary to provide for the
allies at the rate of half billion a
month during the rest of the fiscal
year and for the quarter ending with
next September. This called for a
total Of a billion and q half. The
rest is a matter Of making bonds at
tractive to investors, especially to
State banks, by lowering their as
sessments when holding the bonds,
and Of what bonds may be exchanged
for those carrying four and a quar-
ter per cent interest. On this lat
ter point it is explained that "the
four per cent bonds are now con-
] vertible into a subsequent issue
bearing a higher rate, and the three
and a half per cents are also con-
vertible. This proposed four and
a quarter. bond issue will not be con-
vertible."
When Mr.=Kitchin. concluded, he
announced that he was called. to the
The Washington times., 1918-03-31

As agreement was reached in con-
ference between the House and Sen
ate, the new war bank" will have a
cash capital of half a billion dollars
and a bonded capital Of three BILL
lions. The membership OF the Cap
ital Issues Committee" is changed
from five to seven, who may be all
Of one party or Of no party. No rail-
road while under Government con-
trail can secufe more than $5O,OOO,-
600 in a single loan; and while under
Government control, railroads,
though required to give adequate
security" are exempted from the re-
quirement that the security. on loans
must be 125, per cent, This, now
ever, does not, require actual col
lateral, but may include the esti-
mated value OF property on whieh
the loan is made. The interest rate
must be so adjusted as not to dis
turb the bushes Of central reserve
banks, and in exceptional cases" ol
distress the person or corporation

II anyone reading this, finds him
self in doubt of what it means. he is
exactly in the position Of everyone
who helped pass the bill, after It was
done. No one knew or. could know
the meaning Of these vast sums In
billions of dollars. 1t had been de-
cided that it was necessary to vote
up to these totals ITO win the war.
They were voted accordingly. Those
whose heads begin to ache when they
try to imagine billion dollars. need
not try. II is useless. It cannot be
done. Interest in the most remArk-
able days work in American political
history does not belong to these In
comprehensive figures, but to- the
way it was done. In this, there was
something more absorbing than can
be put on paper. 1t was the life in.

minds, knowing they we're acting
wholly beyond their powers, cropping
