the remainder of the estate going to

it is expected the total Will run to

There are $4,000 Lutheran boys

NEXT LOAN APRIL 6
Launch New Liberty Issue on War
Declaration Anniversary,

Washington, March 2.-Congress
will determine the number of billions
the government is to borrow in the
third liberty loan.
The date has been formally set by
Secretary McAdoo at April 6-anni-
versary of the American debut into
the world conflict.
The standing authorization for gov
eminent bonds stood today at So
500, 100000.
As the big loan is run much past
this figure, McAdoo said, he will ask
congress for new authorization.
Besides the added sums to be Dor
rowed under the coming loan, this
authorization. it appeared likely, will
make provision for the other big loans
which must be floated before many
mere months pass to pay the nations
