WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Thc $4,000
100000 bond bill. authorizing the
fourth Liberty loan. was passed by the
House to-day after debate Of less
than an hour. A viva -voce vote was
taken. the lack OF opposition making
roll call Unnecessary
The spirit OF the House toward the
measure was tersciy expressed by Rep
resentative Nicholas Longworth, who
offered an appropriate subtitle to the
bill of. Huns. take notice"
Longworth predicted that there will
be 3o.0oo.o00 subscribers TO the next
Liberty loan AS An evidence OF the
zeal with which America Is waEinE
war, he cited that I'm fifteen months
the United States has authorized the
creation OF a public debt within 81 ,ooo.-
100000 Of the amount authorized by
Germany In forty-scvcn months.
I'm one-third OF rhe time. Long
worth said. the American people have
authorized the expenditure of almost
the amount of money that it has taken
Germany three times that length OF
time to raise.
The first Liberty loan was cub
scribed to by about 1900. 900 people: the
second by about 100000 people. and
the third by more than 100000 peo-
pie. l venture to state that the coming
loan will be subscribed for by 50.Ooo.-

The passage or the bill Increases the
authorized public debt of the United
States to $4,000. 600. 600. Latest figures
from Germany indicate that the public
debt OF that country is about SIS. 5.0oo.-
100000.
Representative kitchin outlined the
terms OF the bill! and expressed the
hope that Il might pass quickly and
unanimously
An interesting circumstance called to
the attention of the House by Repre-
sentative Foss, OF Ohio. was that the
bill was voted or the fourth anniver-
sary of the tragedy at Saraievo. which
"set the world airc."
Mfr. Foss related some of the events
leading up To the war. the oppression
OF the Balkans by Austria. the bitter
feeling enEcndered in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. and the assassination Of
the Austrian archduke by "a half-witted
Bosnian.
AT that time" he said. Great Britain
had a public debt OF $4,000 100000 To-
day. according to Bonar Law. it is s37.-
ooo.ooo.oo0. We had an Indebtedness Of
less than $1,000. 900 000-to be exact.

debtedness OF probably between sl7.-
600. 100000 and $4,000. 100000. II you
omit our loans to the allies France
had an Indebtedness at that time of
nearly $4,000. 100000: her indebtedness
now is approaching 100000 900. 600
Germany's position is somewhat diff
ferent because she finances the war
