THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
 NEAR MINIMUM GOAL
Multitude of Small Subscriptions Coming In-WOrds Match the President" Strike Popular Chord.

Washington, May 2.-Only $249,- 000,00O remains to be subscribed to the third Liberty Loan to reach the three billion minimum goal, and headquarters statement tonight said "the prospects for an oversubscrip- ton are considered hopeful" The total reported tonight was $2,751 ,360,- TOO, which did not include subscrip- tions obtained today. It was an addi- tion of $172,00O,000 in the last "A hours.
 The multiple of small subscriptions pouring into local headquarters to- day, stimulated by the appeals to "buy another bond" and match the president" created genuine enthus- iasm among treasury officials, who consider the moral effect of the big subscriptions roll as much as a huge pool of national credit. The move ment to get individuals to buy $50 bonds to keep pace with President Wilson, who subscribed for a "baby bond" after already buying all he felt able to pay for, grew beyond bounds planned by orginators of the feature, and telegrams received today charac- terized it as the distinctive campaign of the third loan."
 Secretary McAdoo and others en- gagged in furthering the campaign firmly believe" said the headquarters review tonight, "that the American people will come forward in the last two days of the campaign, as they have done in previous loans, and turn in very large subscriptions. The number of subscribers is a source of great satisfaction. It now is much larger than the number obtained in the second loan campaign, which was virtually double that of the first, and indications are that the second loan records possibly may be doubled"
 The Dallas district tonight entered informal claim to having subscribed it's quota, although official reports showed it only 94 per cent subscribed.
 "We are still going" was the cryp- tic postscript of the Dallas report.
 The San Francisco district also claimed to have gone $40,000,00 be- yond its predetermining goal, but official returns placed it's standing at 95 per cent.

TOO MUCH RECRUITING

Washington, May 2. - Protests against the recruiting of labor from farms and other essential industries in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee by private contractors working for the War Department were made to that department today by the department of labor and agri- culture and. the shipping board.
 As result the War Department is considering the advisability of placing the entire labor problem in the hands of the United States employment ser vice.
 Senator Fletcher of Florida re- gently wrote the Department of Labor that men were being taken off the farms and from plants supply ing lumber for shipbuildng. Senator Williams of Mississippi complained that Mississippi farms were being swept bare of labor to supply workers for nitrate plants in Alabama.

0N[Y LIMIT POINT ABILITY TO EQUIP AND
 TRANSPORT THE MEN
co.retary Baker Says it Would 0' Re IIl.Advised to Restrict the Number of Men to be Drafted for the Army.

washington. May 2.-Secretary p.ter at hearing today before the House military affairs committee, in ,or6dential session, asked that Con- press grant unlimited power for the srootion of an army of whatever size nocessarv for the prosecution of the war He told the committee that 1t would be ill-advised to restrict the number of men to be utilized and that the size of the army should be increased in the discretion of the government as transportation and equipment facilities warrant.
 Secretary Baker indicated he would submit a proposed measure, probably as an amendment to the draft law, to grant the unlimited authority asked. Under the existing draft law, as con- strued by Chairman Dent of the mili- tary committee and others, there is authority for use of only 1000, ,000 men under the draft. MT. Dent yes terday introduced a bill to authorize a draft total of 100000 men, which, with volunteers already in the service, would make an ultimate possible max mum strength of 5,O00,000 men:
 Secretary Baker was questioned by the committee regarding his views to increasing the draft age. He said he was studying the subject and had made no decision.
 The House military committee will immediately resume consideration of the annual army appropriation bill and Secretary Bakers idea is that it shall provide only for the number inn mediately foreseen.
 Indications are that it will carry provision for equipment, transporta- ton, pay and other expenses of ap- proximately 3,000,000 men as part, not of a specific program, but as a furtherance of blanket plan involv- ing use of all or part of the funds ap- propriated and supplemental appro- priations later on as their need may become apparent.

TRAFFIC WITH AMERICA

Amsterdam, May 2-Telegrams were dispatched by the Chamber of Commerce of Amsterdam today to the Dutch ministers of colonies and foreign affairs, urgently requesting that shipping traffic between the Dutch East Indies and the United States be resumed immediately. The minister of colonies replied that in structions had been cabled Wednes- day to the governor general of the East Indies to the effect that traffic in the direction of America may now be resumed.
 The request of the Chamber of Commerce was made on the ground that the accumulation of colonial pro- ducts were assuming manageable proportions with consequent deterior- ation, especially in the supplies of to- bacco, tea and rubber, while the diff culties of financing and insuring the cargoes, it was added, were becoming we'll nigh insuperable.

WANTS TO ADJOURN EARLY.

Washington, May 2.-The first de- finite move toward adjournment of congress in July was made in the senate today when Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, minority leader, formally proffered Republican support in an effort to that end. Senator Gal finger suggested adjournment July 10 and when Senator Overman of North Carolina and other Democrats said it should be earlier he agreed with them that July should be made tentative adojurnment goal.
 The army, navy and few other appropriation bills virtually comprise the remaining important measures on the senate schedule. No doubt is en- tertained as to the ability of the House to keep pace with the adjourn ment programme.
