Meanwhile, Secretary Nc
Adoo Announces, Treasury
Certificates Will Be Sold
New Expense Record
Total for This Month Expected
to Reach $2,oO0,O00,o0o,
Says Treasury Head

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-Noticc that
the country must prepare for another
intensive war loan campaign, probably y
the latter part of April, was given to-
DAY by Secretary McAdoo, in a letter
to bankers, explaining the Treasury s
programme for floating certificates of
Indebtedness and bonds during the next
six months.
The Secretary said the plans for con
tlnuous sale Of government bonds. re-
Gently discussed as a strong posi-
bllity, had been abandoned, and that
plans should be made for zone more
great popular campaign"
Previously, Mr. McAdoo had an
nounced that the bonds to be offered
then would be of short. maturity. less
than ten years, and it has been indj-
Gated that the amount would be around
five billions.
Exact Date Not Set
Although the Secretary did not state
the time of the campaign, it was
learned that the Treasury plans tenta-
lively to hold it the last three weeks
in April.
Blocks of Treasury certificates of ir
uebtedness, ranging between $780,
100000 and $750,000,O0O will be mar
keted every two weeks, beginning De
cember b, to provide funds for running
the government until payments from
the fifth war loan begin to come in.
hese payments will be used to pay
eff the certificates.
Every bank will be expected to sub
scribe 5 per cent of it's gross resources
monthly to these certificates. The first
issue, of $500, 100000, minimum. an
nounced to-day, may be subscribed be-
tween December and December 10;
VIII mature next May and will bear
II per cent. This rate is not consid
cred as affording any indication of the
interest to be borne by the fifth war
loan bonds.
Months Expense S2,OOO,OO0,OOO
Mr.. McAdoo also disclosed to-day
that the governments expenses this
month probably will run to a new high
record of $4,000, 100000, and that "the
wise policy of prompt liquidation of
contracts" may increase rather than
lower the governments outlays.
In this connection, it became known
to-day that the Treasury had advised
the War and Navy departments that it
would be legal and desirable in many
cases to pay lump sums to manufact-
erers with whom contracts are can
celled to cover loss suffered by the con.
tractors for countermanded orders
Legislation may be necessary, how
ever, to provide for paSsng claims OF
manufacturers who have proceeded or

the War or Navy Department and
have not actually signed formal con
; tracts.

Trenton Hall Ouners
Told to Keep Out "Reds'

TRENTON, Nov. 27-The Trenton
City Commission has taken precau-

ings by the "Red" element of the So
cialists or any other Bolsheviki. The
owner Of every hall in Trenton that
operates under license and that can
be secured for a public meeting of any
kind has been notified by the City
Commission that to permit meeting
of the "Reds" will be equivalent to
the abrogation Of the license for the
building.
This question arose last week when
the city commissioners cancelled the
license of a theatre at which Scott
Nearing was to appear. The members
of the commission have definitely
agreed that Trenton shall be free of
this flag and of meetings by these
people

before the Allies think of doing any
