S. PEOPLE HELPED LOAN [Continued front First Page.] and 12,500,000 more than in the first. Latest tabulations showed $3,316,- 628,250 reported subscriptions, but the Treasury now believes the actual total, which may run to $4,000,000,- 000, will not be definitely known un til May 13, four days after individual banks are required to report to Fed eral Reserve banks. "Whatever the money total," said a Treasury statement last night, "the loan just closed probably is the most •successful ever floated by any na tion. The marvelous distribution of the Third Liberty Loan indicated that one out of every six persons in the United States may have pirtici pated in this loan." Little Drain on Banks Banks' resources, it was pointed out, hu%e been drawn on compara tively little to make the loan a suc cess, and the prospects for ftlture loans are brighter as a consequence. An added reason for jubilation among the Treasury officials is the indication that the government bond buying habit is becoming stronger among people of small means, and that they probably will invest even more heavily in the fourth loan next fall. Secretary McAdoo, in a statement thanking the nation for its report of the loan, said the widespread distri bution of bonds "is particularly grati fying." and added: "This is the soundest form of national war fi nance—the distribution of the loan among the people themselves. He urged subscribers to retain their bonds unless there is a pressing necessity for selling them, both to help maintain the credit of the gov ernment and as a stimulus to "those economies and savings which release materials and labor necessary to the support if not to the very life of our. Army and Navy." I 207 Casualties in Two War Department Lists; 16 Killed in Action Wnxhlnorton, Mav 6.

DILLON'S VOICE RAISED AGAINST CONSCRIPTION [Continued from First Page.] ain or in Ireland, and believed it a i great blunder to depart from Eng land's settled policy against com pulsory service, especially when it was not to defend the soil of Great Britain but to send huge armies to the continent. But it was impossible and un thinkable, the Nationalist leader de clared, to attempt to apply conscrip tion to a free and democratic people unless there was agreement amount ing almost to unanimity. He earn estly appealed for a spirit of frank and friendly co-operation throughout Ireland. Without this, unity was im possible. Committees throughout the country must be organized with a sincere d.esire to give fair repre sentation to all sections. If the nation's unity was broken in the face of the present terrific danger, Mr. Dillon continued, the government would be encouraged to pursue their wicked and insane pol icy and the discipline of the people which is essential to the defeat of conscription would be broken. Then the whole game would be thrown I into the hands of the military au thorities. I The Nationalists and Sinn Feiners. he said, actually agreed that the whole struggle for Ireland's rights was based on the principal of her rights as a nation. There was a false impression in the country that all danger was over. This was a terrible false impression, Mr. Dillon declared. There was no question that the gov ernment had been staggered and no longer were so confident about the practicability of their policy as pro-, fessed when the bill was introduced. Mr. Dillon suggested the forma tion of Irish committees attached to every church and chapel so that in the event of a struggle being forced upon them, the church could be the rallying point. The Nationalist leader declared he was convinced it would take an army such as England could ill spare to carry out successfully conscription in Ireland. He was also convinced that the government would split on the Irish rock and Instead of destroying the Irish nation, the Irish would de stroy them. Prof. De Valera said his followers unite with those of Mr. Dillon to de feat conscription. With reference to the issue raised in East Cavan he said there is only one arbitrator to whom the Sinn Fein would submit, namely the free choice of the elec tors. Dublin. May 6.—Declaring the government's conscription-home rule policy is disastrous. Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman of the recent Irish convention, in a letter to Jthe press suggests immediate establish ment of a responsible government in Ireland as a way out of the diffi culty. "At the gravest crisis with which the empire has ever been faced," says the letter, "the government had staked their existence on a two-fold Irish policy—conscription and home rule. They cannot achieve both ex cept at the cost of nTuch present bloodshed and lasting hate. They might achieve the first and by it make the second impossible. "In my opinion they would fail in the second attempt and have to go on leaving both undone. Their suc cessors then would have to find a way out of the worst Irish situation in my memory, which goes back to kite Fenian days tUti years ago." , U. S.

Although members did not appear inclined to oppose any appropriation essential to a successful prosecution of the war, many wanted to know what has been done with appro priations already made. Some oppo sition was expressed to the admin istration's plan to limit the armed forces only to capacity for equipping, training and transportation them. John D. Ryan, newly appointed head of aircraift production and others connected with the airplane work were called to testify. Investigation by the Department of Justice was asljed of the Presi dent by Howard Cofflin, formerly chairman oi the Aircraft Board, who declared he requested it that the reputation of innocent men might not be ruined by charges that have been made. A billion-dollar apporpriatiop for aircraft production was asked of Congress to-day by the War Depart ment.
