Washington, d. C.-Postmaster
General Albert S. Burleson is to be
director general of telegraphst and
telephone service as a side issue, just
as the railroads are managed under
the general dictatorship of McAdoO.
One reason for giving the tele-
graphs and telephones over to the
control of the postmaster general is
that, as a means of communication,
they are more or less closely allied
to the postal service.

After the survivors had been cared

Soon after the steamer struck

 In connection with the efforts to prevent a slackening of campaign morale, it was cited today by treasury officials that practically all of the six billion dollars to be raised will have been spent by the time it is received at the treasury. The government al ready is paying out money at the daily rate of s50.000,000, which is substan- tially the money to be raised in the Fourth loan. Nearly s4.500, 100000 has been received in the last two months from sale of certificates of indebted ness, but these securities are only tenn porary expedients, to be paid out of receipts from Liberty bonds. Con- sequently the government is already spending it's Fourth Liberty Loan money.

For this nations war activities, 2,263, 5S2, 900 was spent and for loans to allies, $6,527, .000 Taxes have brought in $5,1S3,26S000 and Liberty loans or certificates of indebtedness about S13,000.000,000. The harvest from war savings and thrift stamps has been $745.1659,000.
 Iowa Still Only State Over
 Iowa still stood alone tonight as the only state to report officially that fl was over it's quota.
