New York.-One fact seems to mar
the homecoming of every American
officer and enlisted man returning
from the front for duty with new
American divisions. 1t is the discovery,
they say, that Americans at home are
too ~complacent in their hatred of the
Hun. Scores of these overseas veter-

in nearly as many different ways.

actual scenes of German brutality and

going to be able to smooth things
over and live at peace and harmony

peace is signed" said one officer, who
not only saw heroic service and suf-
fered severe wounds in one of the hot
test sectors of the front but whose
duties previously took him through

France and Belgium. "Every Ameri-

HOT FIGHT TO SAVE
FARMER FROM DRAFT
PLAN TO PUT WORKERS LOW IN
LIST FAILS TO PLACATE OP-
POSITION. TO FORCE ISSUE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.--Maior
General Enoch H. Crowder, provost
marshal general, acted today to stem
the opposition in congress to the
classification of farm workers in
class la, but the steps he took were
pronounced entirely unsatisfactory
by members urging deferred classifi-
cation for farmers, and q hot fight
over the issue still seems assured.
After repeated conferences with
Senator Martin and Representatives
Harrison and Flood, of Virginia, Cen
eral Crowder issued formal instruc-
tons to local exemption boards to
place all farmers and farm laborers
now in class Ia at the bottom of
the list in that class. The effect of
this order will be that all nonagri-
culturlsts in class la will be called

S6O,OOO,OOO U. S.
AIR NITRATE PLANT
TO BE ERECTED AT MUSCLE
SHOALS IN ALABAMA. WILL
BE WORLDS GREATEST.

The air nitrate plant to be built at
Muscle Shoals in Alabama will be the
largest of its kind in the world.
Nothing on earth will touch it for
size or output. Germany, with all
her boasted progress in the fixation
of nitrogen, has nothing that will
equal in immensely the government
air nitrate plant at the Muscle Shoals.
President Wilson has signed the bill
which calls for the expenditure of
$50, 100000 in this vast and wonder
full undertaking. This is beyond the
greatest dreams of those who had
hopes of seeing the gigantic water
power of the Tennessee river har-
messed for the fixation of nitrogen.
The fondest hopes held a few
months ago were that the govern
ment would spend $2O,00O,O0O in this
project. After untiring work this bill
was finally passed. But that was be-
fore this country entered the war.
Now, within a few weeks time, a bill
is passed by congress and signed by
the president calling for the expendi-
ture of $60,OO0,OOO in this colossal
project.
Great concrete dams will be
thrown across the Tennessee river
at the Muscle Shoals, backing up mil
lions of tons of water for miles and
obtaining more than 100000 horse
power No such horsepower is pos
sible anywhere else in America ex-
cept at Niagara Falls.
The air nitrate plant will make
US absolutely independent of Chilean
nitrates, either for ammunition or
fertilizer. The new plan will furnish
all the nitrates needed for our navy
and our armies and supply millions
Of tons to the farmers of America.
Not only that, but with immense
deposits of phosphate rock a little
further north in the Tennessee Val
ley there will be produced ammoni-
UNI phosphate without limit.

MONEY NEEDED BY
THE GOVERNMENT
SUM OF $s,655, 900, 900 MUST BE
HAD BY JULY BOTH, SAYS
SECRETARY M'ADOO.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Immi-
hence of Secretary McAdoo's an
nouncement of the size and interest
rate of the third liberty loan, to open
April 6, gave special Importance to-
day to treasury announcement Of
government receipts and expendi-
lures, from which might be calculat-
ed with fair accuracy the sum the
government would need before the
end of the fiscal year June Both.
Outstanding features of these fig
ures, as unofficially analysed, were
that costs are not increasing from
month to month as had been expect
ed, and that ordinary expenses and
loans to allies in the three and one
third months probably would not be
much over $4,000, 100000. To this
must be added the necessary outlay
of So, $50, 100000 to redeem certif-
Gates of indebtedness now outstand-
ing and maturing before June both:
$500, 100000 for the governments
capital in the war finance corpora
ton, whose creation is expected soon.
and $500,000,000 to provide a cur
rent working balance at the end of
the year.
On the other side of the books
might be placed the 1855, 100000
working balance on hand today; ST.
SIG, 900 estimated receipts from
income and excess profits taxable and
other internal revenue sources; S75,-
100000 estimated miscellaneous re-
ceipts; $43,000,000 estimated Gus
toms receipts; approximately $780,
100000 revenue expected from sale
of war saving and thrift stamps, and
$500, 100000 to be received in the
next three days from a current issue
of certificates. These would make a
total of nearly $4,000, 900, 1000, which
might be expected to flow into the
treasury between now and June both
from other sources than the liberty
loan.
On this basis of calculation the
difference to be provided for would
be between $4,O0O,O00,000 and S5,-
100000 600.
These figures do not necessarily
disclose the SIZE of the third liberty
loan, for ether elements of financial
mechanics, judgment of the money
market and appraisal of popular feel
ing enter into the actual determine
ton. The figures are essentially the
same, however, as those which Secre-
| tary McAdoo and his advisers have
before them in deciding how many
billions are to be raised in the big
campaign.
