issue before it adjourns. Bonds author
lied in the bill passed by the house
and heretofore will carry the govern

year in its war expenditures and allow
loans for the allies to oct. l.
That there vii be q tax bill required

and report to the full committee at
the next session.

necessary to raise more taxes in
order TO keep within 20 or 20 per cent
Of the total Of bonds authorized.

No Peace That Leaves Russia In Ger
many's cIaws-stIII Ready for
Honest Peace, but 1t Must. Not
Como from Military Party.

Baltimore, Md.-President Wilson
was greeted by an audience of $4,000
persons in the Fifth Regiment Armory
the hall where he was nominated In
1912-and brought the multitude to its
feet with prolonged cheers when he
declared that America accepted Ger
many's challenge of force, and added
that it would be met with force which
shall make right the law of the world
and cast every selfish dominion down
In the dust"
The cheering lasted several minutes.
The occasion was the opening of the
third Liberty Loan campaign, and the
Presidents speech ended day of cele-
bration In which all Baltimore turned
out and displayed the utmost enthusi-
asm.
President Wilson was greeted by a
great demonstration on his arrival at
the hall, which was packed to the
doors. Thousands were outside unable
to gain entrance. Long lines formed
in front of the armory as early as six
o'clock.
Former Governor Philip s. Goldsbor-
ough, introducing the President, de-
clared that out of the war would come
a new world, dedicated to liberty. Mr.
Goldsborough, a Republican, said that
all parties in the country must rally
behind the executive.
This is no time" said Mr. Colds
borough, ito criticise the government.
This is the time for everybody to get
behind our flag"
The crowd in the armory cheered for
several minutes when the President
arose to speak, and 1t was some min
utes before he could make himself
heard.
The Presidents audience was plain
ly with him in his denunciation of
Germany's military masters. 1t ap-
plauded his declaration that he Is
ready at any time to discuss a just
peace sincerely proposed. His dec
laration that nothing was proposed for
Germany but justice also was warmly
applauded, as was his statement that
Germany's course in Russia was a

The Arabs Loyalty.

The Arabs are loyal people. "One
day." writes a medical missionary,
"there came to the Kuweit hospital n
sick man brought by wealthy broth
er. Five years or more before there
had been a raid, and Hamadan was
wounded. He had been disabled ever
since. They came from a great dis
lance to the hospital. 1t was tedious
case. A number of operations were
necessary, and it was perhaps five
months before he could go home. Dur
ing that whole period the sick man was
cared for by his well brother with a
loyalty that was splendid. He kept
the sick man clean, spent his money
for him, stayed with him to keep him
cheerful, did everything that could be
done to help toward cure, and final
ly to their great delight, it was posi-
BILE for them to go home together, two
we'll men. I do not know that l have
ever seen q finer example of loyalty in
my life"

LYNcHINe RoUsEs WILSON.


Washington.-Mob violence must be
ended. This edict issued from the
White House at the conclusion of the
cabinet meeting. To make 1t effective
the administration will urge the imme-
date enactment of pending legislation
which would empower the federal gov
eminent to deal severely with the sew
eral forms of disloyalty. The circum-
stances surrounding the lynching at
Collinsville, ILL.,, of Robert p. Praeger,
an alleged pro-German, brought the Is
sue to head.
Congress may be asked to enact a
statute, in addition to the proposed
amendments to the espionage act,
making amenable to the federal gov
eminent as well as to the state sill
persons who participate In mob vio-
lence.
Collinsville, m.-Kneeling with his
arms crossed, Robert p. Praeger, who
was lynched by a mob for alleged dis
loyal utterances, prayed In German for
three minutes before he was hanged,
according to statements by members
of the lynching party.

Strange Powder Accident.

strange accident occurred at Dur
ham, England recently. A laborer EN-
ployed in limestone quarry was car
rying a tin powder bottle containing
a quantity of gunpowder. There was
a rope handle attached to the tin. He
had to go over the railway, and, as ILL
luck would have it, just as he was go
ing over the bridge, the rope by which
he was carrying the tin broke, and the
lid came off, and the tin fell down the
embankment, leaving behind a train
of gunpowder, which was as neatly laid
as if it had been done for the purpose
of an explosion. A locomotive was
passing below, and a Give" cinder
dropped from the fire-box of the en-
CINE, exploded the train of powder
from the ground to the powder bottle,
setting the workman's clothing on fire.
He was badly burned, and died the fol-
lowing day.

$4,000 has been donated to the Red
Cross for the purpose, and the plans

TO include billiard room and lounge,
