BONDS ARE READY FOR SUBSCRIBERS FOR LIBERTY LOAN

The Liberty Loan Committee of from a number of people that they have not received their first or second Liberty Bonds. To the subscribers of the first and second Liberty loans this information should be interesting.
 The Treasury Department has fur nished the Federal Reserve Banks with 3 3h per cent. coupon bonds and per cent conversion coupon bonds in sufficient quantity to complete de- liveries on interim certificates pre- scented for exchange for bonds. So far as the department is advised there is no reason why every subscriber should not receive the bonds to which he is entitled upon presentation of his interim certificate to the Federal Reserve Bank. Inasmuch as a holder of interim certificates is entitled to receive the determinations of bonds desired at the time he presents his certificates, 1t is not always possible for the department and the banks to anticipate requirements and it may be found, upon pr sntation of such certificates, that the bank is not able to make delivery in the denomina- tions required; but, the department has abundant bonds on hand to meet all requirements in this respect, and the delay would be momentary only.
 Regarding the registered bonds. those at 3 F per cent. have been is sued as rapidly as acquisitions have been received from Federal Reserve Banks. December 18th interest, however, has been paid and the bonds are in process of issue. The issue is current. These at 4 per cent. have not yet been issued.
 To close of business Jan. 26, 12,272,- 677 Second Liberty coupon bonds of the denominations of $50 $100, $500 and $1,000=-of total face amount $2,426, AT, ,6OO-have been forward ed to Federal Reserve Banks for de- livery on subscriptions. In addition thereto something over 92,85S coupo1 bonds of the $5,O0O and $10,O00 de. nominations-of total face amount ot $704,0S0, 0,000-also have been for. warded.

Amendment Proposes That After June 30, 1919, No Liquors Shall Be Used in This Country
ALSO AFFECTS BEER
Extensive Hearings of Effect of Prohibition as War Measure Held by Commit tee Before Report
nv Review Leased WIrel

AltN htNltW LtdScu NlItl
 WASHINGTON, June 27.-Carrying an amendment providing for national prohibition as a war measure, but not fully effective until June 30. 1919, the S11, ,000. .000.0 900 emergency agricultural appropriation bill was reported late today to the senate. The present plan is to call it up after the army bill is disposed of and a bitter fight is eX- pected by many senators.
 The prohibition amendment offesed by Senator Norris of Nebraska, as a substitute for that by Senator Jones of Washington, was adopted today by the senate agriculture committee, eight to three It prohibits the sale of distilled spirits and the manufac- ture of wine or the removal Of liquors now held in bond after June 30, 1919. The manufacture of beer would be stopped three months after passage of the bill.
 The amendment was approved by the committee at e three hour sessicn during which opponents made futile eff forts to have it amended so as to per init the manufacture and sale of beer for six and then four months after en- actment
 Efforts to have the committee re commend passage of prohibition legis- lation in separate measure also were unsuccessful.
 Extensive hearings on the question of prohibition during the war were held by the committee. The proposal was opposed and approved by high government officials and others. Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board were among the chief opponents, because of the effect they feared the taking Of beer from the workmen would have on the ship building industry.
 Secretary Daniels disagreed with the view of shipping board officials. Mir Daniels, who did not appear as an advocate of prohibition, but at the re- quest of the committee said that aft CT the sale of liquor was stopped around the Mare Island navy yard and the new port torpedo station. the work men showed greater efficiency, the outputs of both plants increasing.
 Senator Sheppard of Texas, and oth- CT prohibition leaders were confident tonight of the passage of the prohibit tion amendment. They said that since the senate last year adopted by two thirds vote the resolution to submit to the states prohibition constitution al amendment, a majority vote in sup port of the present proposal easily could be secured. Opponents, how ever, expected a strong fight to be made in view of the fact that the con stitutional amendment now is awaiting action by the states.
 The new amendment provides:
 That from and after June 30. 1919. after the approval of this act, and dur ing the continuance of the present war. for the purpose of conserving the man power of the nation and to in- crease the efficiency in the production of army. war munitions, food and clothing for the army, it shall be un- lawful to sell, for beverage purposes except for export. any distilled spirits and no distilled spirits held in bond
