MANY YET TO BE HEARD FROM
vouno Americans Who Mailed Their
Cards May Bring Total Closer

100000.

Washington.-Nearly complete re-
ports to the Provost Maashal-Genera's
Office show that 744,S65 young Ameri-
cans who have become OF age during
the past year registered for military
service on June 5. This Is 266,724 be-
.ow the estimate Of the Census Bureau,
but, since more than 100000 unregis-
tered 21.year-olds already are enlisted
in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps
the military authorities find the result
entirely satisfactory.
Army and Navy estimates place the
number of 21-year-old men enlisted at
2OS,5SS. This figure, combined with
the falling off in alien registration,
gives total of 353,6S6, which means
that the Census Bureau apparently
missed the number Of eligible by only
$4,000.

number will be made up by belated
registrations yet to be heard from, In

PROTECTION PACT
FOR ALL AMERICAS
What President Wilson Told
the Mexican Editors.
BASIS FOR A WORLD PEACE
Mexicans and Loyal Men In All the
American Countries Should Plant
Seeds OF Trust and
Confidence.

Washington. - Pan Americanism, a
pact of all the Americas for self-pro-
tective purposes, is advocated by Presi.
dent Wilson.
This developed with the authorized
publication of President Wilson's
recent address to group of Mexican
editors visiting here.
Declaring the Monroe Doctrine to be
case of telling Central America:
I'VE are going to be big brother to
you whether you want us to be or
not" the President said the policy
contained nothing that protects Mex
leo from aggression from u.s."
AS a result, the President declared
he had observed some sister republics
to the South were uneasy lest "our
self.appointed protection Monroe Doc.
trine might be for our own benefit
and our own interest and not for the
interest of our neighbors."
Such an arrangement, he said, will
have to be the foundation of the fu.
tue life of the nations of the world.
The whole family of nations will have
to guarantee TO each nation that no
nation shall violate its political in.
dependence or its territorial integrity.
That is the only conceivable basis for
the future peace of the world and /
must admit was anxious to have the
states of the two continents Of Amer
lea show the way TO the rest of the
world as to how to make a basis of
peace.
peace can only come by trust. II
you can once get situation of trust,
then you have got a situation OF per.
manent peace. Therefore, everyone
of us, ii seems TO me, owes 1t as a
patriotic duty TO his own country to
plant the seeds OF trust and confidence
instead of seeds of suspicion"
The President declared Americas
attitude toward Mexico is mot mere.
ly the sort of friendship which
prompts one not to do his neighbor
any harm, but the sort of friendship
which earnestly desires to do his
neighbor service"
He declared the administration
policy was that "the internal settle
ment of the affairs of Mexico was
none Of our business" He then dis
cussed the punitive expedition after
the bandit Villa, saying:
when we sent troops into Mexico
our sincere desire was nothing else
than TO asst you to get rid Of man
who was making the settlement of
your affairs for the time being impos-
sible. We had 10 desire to use our
troops for any other purpose, and |
was in hopes that by assisting in that
way and then Immediately withdraw
ing, might give substantial proof of
the truth of the assurance that ! had
given your government through Presi.
dent Carranza."

POUND AND HALF
WEEK BEEF RATION
Appeal For Voluntary Reduction
BY People.
Wants People To Substitute Fresh
Pork, Bacon, Ham and
Sausage.

Washington. meet the needs of
the American and Allied Armies and
the civilian populations of France,
Great Britain and Italy, the American
people are requested by the Food Ad-
ministration to place themselves on
limited beef allowance from now until
next September Is.
Householders were asked not under
any circumstances" to buy more than
one and one-half pounds, including the
bone, for each person in the house
hold.
Hotels and restaurants were asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly, beef steak more
than one meal weekly and roast beef
more than one meal weekly,
"The demand for beef for our army,
the armies of the Allies and their
civilian populations for this summer"
said the Food Administrations an
nouncement, ARE beyond our present
surplus. On the other hand, we have
enough increased supply of pork this
summer to permit economical expan-
sion in its use. 1t therefore will be a
direct service TO our armies and the
Allies II our people will in some de.
gree substitute fresh pork, bacon,
ham and sausage for beef products.
THE public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping, and, therefore,
of the markets available to the Allies,
and the increasing demand for our
growing Army, with the fluctuating
supplies of local beef In France, all
make 1t impossible to determine
policies for long period in advance.
We have recently asked for economy
in all meat consumption; we wish
now to emphasize further reduction of
beef by the substitution of pork. 1t
is anticipated that this program will
hold good until September Is, and the
cooperation of the public is most
earnestly requested"

THE FOURTH LOAN
Financial Program For the Next
Four Months.
DRIVE WILL Be IN OCTOBER
Banks To Lend II In Advanee-Antici.
patton OF $1,000, ,ooo, 900 On Next
Years Taxes Also
Provided.

Washington.-The banks and trust
companies OF the United States must
loan the Government a total OF Sc,
o00,000,000 between June rs and No
vember, 1918, II the United States
Treasury Is to have enough cash In
hand during the period to meet the
demands OF war. This was indicated
In letter which Secretary McAdoo
addressed TO the American banks and
trust companies, calling upon them to
absorb certificates OF Indebtedness to
the amount OF $3.50, 100000 every two
weeks between June rs and Novem.
Der /. These certificates are to bear
interest at the rate Of Az per cent.
and are to have various maturities not
exceeding four months.
The amount of these loans in
measure indicates the size OF the
fourth Liberty bond issue, an issue
which the President, in his last ad-
dress to Congress, warned the country
would be larger than any previous
offering to the country. In his letter
to the bankers, the Secretary states
that the sale OF certificates is sin
anticipation of the next Liberty Loan"
which may be taken to mean that the
loan, probably to be issued in Octo.
Der, will be for at least $4,000, 900, 900,
the exact amount depending on Gov
ernment expenditures In the next few
months. The Treasury already has
estimated these roughly at about s12,.
00O,000,000 between July l and next
January !.
In this connection Mr.. McAdoo an.
nounces new plan to facilitate the
payment Of war taxes, plan that may
be regarded as a substitute for the
partial payment scheme which many
members of the House and Senate are
advocating. He says that at some
favorable period during the summer
the Treasury Department will offer to
the public, directly or through the
banks, an issue of approximately ST..
000,000,00G in Treasury certificates.
These certificates, II is explained, will
mature at suitable times "for use by
taxpayers in paying next years taxes"
that is, taxes now levied and payable
In June, 1919, or taxes to be levied
by pending legislation.
The sale of certificates under the
plan in effect during the past year
amounts virtually to borrowing in ad.
vance from banks on projected popu.
lar war loans or tax collections, and
periodically refunding these short.
term obligations in long.term Liberty
bonds. Depositary banks make 21s
per cent net, the difference between
the Az per cent. interest paid by the
Government and the 2 per cent. col.
lected for deposits.
