Campaign for Third Issue of War
Bonds Opens April 6-McAdoo
Urges All to Help De-

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
McAdOO announced on Monday that
the amount of the third Liberty loan
would be $3,0O0,000,O00, the bonds car
rying Az per cent interest and that all
Oyersubscriptions will be accepted.
The secretary of the treasury out
lined his plan following a conference
with Representative Kitchin, chairman
. Of the ways and means committee of
the house, and will ask congress for APP
prevail.
Will Be NonconVertibIe.
Outstanding features of the third
war loan plan as announced are:
The bonds will be nonconvertible.
but bonds of the first and second war
loans may be converted into the new
Az per cent securities.
The bonds will be acceptable at par
and accrued interest in payment of
United States inheritance taxes.
They will have the benefit of
sinking fund of per cent per annum
during the period of the war and fer
one year thereafter
Authority to issue $4,500O00,000 in
bonds in addition to the $3,666, 100000
already authorized and unissued is
proposed in new loan legislation pre-
pared for submission to congress, so
that the total amount which may be
issued is $S,166,OOO,OOO.
Congress, the secretary announced,
will be asked for authority to make adj
ditiOnal loans to the allies during the
coming summer The decision to make
the new bonds noncOnvertible, he
said, was reached in order to put an
end to the expectation of higher inter-
est rates.
Mr.. McAdoo said expenditure of the
United States and the allied govern
ments had been below estimates and
that consequently Il greater loan than
that planned was not necessary. Up
until recently expectations outside of
government circles as to the new is
sue had ranged between $4,000,000,000
and $6,000,000,000.

clared that the great events now

America that are needed to put an end
to the eXecrable atrocities of German
militariSm.

clared. Let us hasten it by assert

rades. | am sure that the people will
respond 90 the third Liberty loan with
the same loyalty and enthusiasm that
characterized their support of the first

A Bilious Attack

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The sood you
eat ferments in your stomach instead
of digesting. This inf1ames the stom-

Telegraphers Raise
Funds for Big Strike

Percy Thomas, Eastern representa-
tive of the Telegraphers' Union, said
last night that several branches of the
American Federation of Labor through
out the country, and especially in New
York, had begun to raise funds to meet
the needs of the operators in the event
of strike. he said the union expected d
a strike order at any time.
Mr.. Thomas said that the Telegra-
piers Union and officers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor protested yes
terday to Director General of Railroads
McAdoo against the action of the West
ern Union in seeking to break the
strike in Wilmington, Del. where he
said lockout had existed for about q
week. Mr.. Thomas said the Western
Union was making use of passbooks on
the Baltimore g. Ohio in shipping
strike-breaking operators to Whining
ton. The road being under Federal
control, the union officials, Mr.. Thomas
said, protested to Mr.. McAdoo.
Operators employed by the Western
Union said that less than l per cent of
the Western Unions force belonged to
the union, and that the strike order
could in no circumstances affect that
organization. Both officials and en-
ployes of the Postal Telegraph were
equally certain that operators of that
company would not obey the command
of union leaders to strike.

That they would demand impossible

Public Economy
Urged to Win War

Economy in the expenditure of public
money and the placing of responsibility
upon officials rather than upon commits
sions was urged as a means of winning
the war by speakers at the opening ses-
sion last night of the National Confer
ence on War Economy at the Horace
Mann Auditorium, 120th Street and
Broadway.
Governor Frank O. Lowden Of Illinois
declared that until short time ago
his state had 1875 boards, commissions
and other agencies, all working inde-
pendently of each other, and that he
has found that men clothed with sufii-
cient power are more efficient than COM
missions.
Frederick A. Cleveland, of Boston,
urged that responsibility for conduct
ing the war be vested in Presid Will
son rather than in irresponsible Con-
gressional committees"
"Americas victory in this war will
be not so much a victory over Prus-
sianism as it will be over democracy's
institutions have become slovenly. This
is reflected in Colonel Roosevelt's re-
cent attack on President Wilson's Ad-
ministration, which he charges permit

Municipal Research, who presided, said
the time was coming for educational

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June o.
Thanks to a timely warning, caught
by her wireless and the prompt action
of Captain Henshaw, the United Fruit
Company steamer Sixaola put into port
this morning without an encounter
with one of the U-boats operating
along the coast. On board the ship,
which was bound for New York, were
eighty passengers and a crew of
sixty men.
The Sixaoa was still we'll down the
coast when the first warning of U-boat
operations was flashed through the air
from Washington. Captain Henshaw
Immediately made for the mouth Of
the Chesapeake. Just outside, how
ever, he saw a convoy heading out. and
determined to follow it in the hope Of
at least reaching Philadelphia, even
though he could not complete his
journey.

warning messages, this time from the
tanker Herbert L. Pratt, saying she was

Wheat Price Deadlock
May Be Broken TODAY

WASHINGTON, June 5.-A final eff
fort to break the deadlock between the
House and Senate conferrees over the
rider to the agricultural appropriation
bill increasing the government price of
wheat at $3.50 a bushel, will be made
tomorrow.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
chairman of the Senate managers, an
nounced tonight that an attempt to
compromise would be made, and if it
failed the conferrees would ask their
respective Houses for further instruc-
tions.
Under the terms of the compromise
to be suggested by the chairman, the
present price of $2.2O a bushel would
be retained, but the law would be
amended so as to make No. spring
wheat, instead of No. l Northern the
standard.
Supporters of the plan claim there
is very little of the latter grade of
wheat now being produced, while the
principal trading at present is in No. 2
spring wheat, and that in reality the
change would amount to an increase
in price for the farmers.

Just when the U-boats had aroused

ing, enemy agents started a rumor that
the main naval recruiting station at "a
West Twentythird Street was closed
and that the navy would need no more
men for some time. Commander w. T.

last night that he had obtained in

the origin of the rumor He requests
that every man who hears the rumor
report to the navy recruiting Office at
once the name and address Of the tale
bearer.
The exact effect of the rumor cannot
be estimated. Whereas the daily New
York enrolment in the army has
doubled since the U-boat raids, naval
recruiting has increased much less,
proportlonately.
One hundred and sixty men were en-
ioieu az COMMANDER COnn S once yes

average before the arrival of the SUBJ

men were enrolled. The daily average
