survived.

by the fishing, inspected the camp and

The S3o0,000,000 bond issue an
nounced by Secretary Mellon Monday
was oversubscribed more than seven
times when the books closed last night
with total subscriptions of $4,000, OoO,-

The Treasury Secretary announced
today that subscriptions for the l8-year.
3ls per cent bonds, issued to begin the
refunding of the short-term debt OF
more than $4,000 100000, had been
closed last night.
An announcement of the actual
amount of subscriptions and the basis
OF allotment will be made within a few
days, probably Saturday morning.
Subscriptions received by Federal Re-
serve banks and the Treasury Depart
ment through the mails up to 10 o'clock
this morning will be considered as hay

Officials expressed the private opinion
that the oversubscription was due TO

The money derived from the sale of
the bonds will be used to retire approx
imately S6000000 600 of the maturing
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
and to pay 1000, 900 in interest on
the public debt
The oversubscription indicated to ex-
perts that while the Government will
end the current fiscal year with approx
imately a 81 900 000. 900 deficit. :, will
have no difficulty in raising all the
funds it needs pending the return of
business to normal
indications are that the Treasury will
sell another issue of bonds when the
September financing is undertaken.
During July and August large blocks of
certificates and bills mature, and while
these may be met with issues of short
term paper, 1t Is considered possible that
the Treasury will refund more of the
short-term debt at that time. If not
then 1t is felt certain an additional
bond issue will be announced in De-
cember
The short-term debt now outstanding
amounts TO approximately $4,000 600, 900
and through the use of the 1S-year bond
issue 1t will be reduced to approximately
50 10000 900.

REPEATS
APOLOGY DEMAND
IN NOTE TO ROME
Action Revealed After Farley
of Pope, His Attorney
and PapaI Nuncio.
BY the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
ROME. June Pope Plus spent an
hour and a half today discussing all
See and the italian government with
the Marchese Pacelli, his attorney, who
performed important work In negotia-
tions which brought about the Lateran
treaty.
The papal nuncio also took part in
the conference, and when it was over
it was disclosed that the Pontiff had
delivered a second note TO the Italian
foreign Office, presumably a strong pro-
test against what he considers viola
ton of the concordat between Rome
and the Vatican by dissolution Of Cath
olic laymen's clubs.
This note. it was learned. was de-
livered Monday or Tuesday after For
eign Minister Dino Grandi. acting on
advice from Premier Mussolini, had re-
fused to receive the first note on Friday.
The first note demanded apologies and
the arrest and punishment of persons
guilty of insulting the Pope. The sec
ond note, it is believed, repeated those
demands
The Marchese Pacelli brother of the
papal secretary of state. was said to
have been participating with Cardinal
Gasparri, signer of the Lateran treaty,
in informal negotiations looking toward
a settlement of the dispute between the
church and the state. These nogotia-
tons, it was reported today, are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily"
Outdoor Rites Banned.
In 1taly's 10000 Catholic churches
and in the meeting places of 5000
Fascist groups the man in the street"
today heard the official announcements
of the Vatican and the Italian govern
ment on the conflict.
Pope Plus forbade the colorful relig-
iouS demonstrations which usually mark
this Corpus Christi day. The process
sions. which usually take place outside
the churches, were by his order held
inside their walls.
Premier Mussclini transmitted his or
derS through a resolution adopted by
the directorate of the Fascist party
yesterday, adjuring all Fascists to de-
fend the party's achievements against
all anti-Fascists, under whatever
banner"
The priests in all the churches ex-
planned to their congregations why the
Corpus Christi day professions could
not be held outdoors as usual. The
Pope had suspended them, they said,
because there was no guarantee that
they would be free from disturbance by
those persons who participated in re-
cent anti-Catholic riots.
All the worshipers were given copies
of the Pope's speech last Sunday in
which he placed the full authority CT
