APRIL LOAN TO Be THE LAST
Secretary Glass Announces That Not
More Than Six Billion Will be
Asked at That Time.

washington, Jan. 2O-Only one
more big war loan drive is planned by
the treasury department, Secretary
Glass said today. 1t viii be the Vic
tory Liberty Loan to be noated prob
ably the last three weeks in ApriI
The amount will not be more than
SO,OOO,OO0,OOO and it may be $5,o0O,-
100000.
l expect the Victory Liberty Loan
to be the last intensive campaign for
the sale Of government bonds" said
Mr.. Glass. Reports that there would
be two more bond issues this year az
gregating $12. 600 900 are entirely
without foundation not only as to
amount, but also as regards the num-
Der Of campaigns
More bonds probably will be issued
by the government even after the next
campaign, but it is planned TO market
these quietly through banks and other
financial institutions, without the
usual campaign Of advertising and So
Letting The amount Of securities to
be sold in this manner will not be de-
termined for months, until the treas
ury gets a more definite idea of the
aCAoAA-O VI CAHCASGo SAOh1LS OUT Oh
hquidating of war contracts, the Al
lies needs for further loans and the
demands arising from continuing the
policy Of making loans to railroads,
financing the next wheat crop, con-
tinuing ship building and other inter
nal obligations.
One result Of Secretary Glass an
nouncement that the next intensive
loan campaign would be the last is
that Liberty Loan organizations
throughout the country will make this
a big selling point in the campaign.
Citizens will be urged to do their ut
most on the plea that II probably will
be the last opportunity to make loans
to the government for war purposes.
Most treasury officials believe that
the terms of the fifth, or Victory Loan,
will have to be made more attractive
than those Of the past either by rails
ing the interest rate above AZ per
cent or by some other means.

THE ARMY DEATH RATE HIGH
The Rate Was zoos Per Thousand Last
Year, According to Surgeon
Generals Report.

Washington, Jan 21.-Thirty in
every thousand soldiers in the United
States died from influenza and pneu-
mOnia during the 6-month period end
ing December 81, 1918, according to a
report of the division of sanitation of
the surgeon generals office made pub
lie today.
From disease only the report says,
"3215 men out of each 1000 in the SER
vice in the United States would have
died during 1913 had the death rate
of the last six months extended over
the entire year. Actually the death
rate for the calendar year was zoos
per thousand.
"Of the 32.15 per thousand, 30.071
were due to influenza and pneumonia
1T is probable that the number OF
cases of inf1uenza-pneumonia in pro-
portion to the population and the
death rate, will be shown to be con-
siderably higher in the army than
among civilian men Of military age in
adjoining civil communities.

The Kansas Senate stopped all op-
erations for fifteen minutes while it
paid a tribute to Colonel Roosevelt
and started the arrangements for a
memorial service February Z. Senator
Rolla Coleman Of Johnson just at the
close Of the invocation asked the SEN
ate to give special consideration to
a resolution respecting Colonel ROose-
welt. The resolution read:
Whereas, On the sixth day of jan
uary, 1919, there passed from earth
the soul of the great American, Theo-
dore Roosevelt; and
Whereas, In the loss of this mighty
world figure every parent has lost a
living example for his son, and every
patriot has lost a clarion call to his
heart, every American has lost a dy-
manic inspiration of true American
ism, every poor man chapion, every
rich man a just judge, everyone OPP
pressed a friend, every oppressor an
enemy; and
Whereas, 1t is fitting that Kansas
should pay such tribute as she can
to the man who so loved the prairies
out of which she was carved, who so
loved her virile people. Now, there
fore, be it
Resolved, by the senate, the house
concurring therein, That for a period
of thirty days from the date hereof,
the governor shall direct the flag on
all public buildings of the state to be
flown at half staff That there shall
be held a joint memorial service at
o'clock in the hall of representatives,
February z, 1919, and that there be
appointed by the president Of the SEN
ate and the speaker of the house a
committee Of three from the senate
and three from the house to arrange
for a suitable memorial service on that
day; and, be it further
Resolved, That this resolution be
engrossed and that a suitable copy
threof be forwarded to the bereaved
wife.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
