Banks To Lend It In Advance Antici
pation Of $2,000,000,000 On Next
Year's Taxes Also
i Provided.
Washington. The banks and trust
companies or the United States must
loan the Government a total of $,
000,000,000 between June 25 and No
vember, 1918, If the United States
Treasury U to bare enough cash In
band during the period to meet the
demands of war. This was Indicated
In a letter which Secretary McAdoo
addressed to the American banks and
trust companies, calling upon them to
absorb certificates of Indebtedness to
the amount of $750,000,000 every two
weeks between June 25 and Novem
ber 1. These certificates are to bear
interest at the rate of iVt per cent,
and are to hare various maturities not
exceeding four months.
The amount of these loans in a
measure indicates the size of the
fourth Liberty bond issue, an issue
which the President, In his last ad
dress to Congress, warned the country
would be larger than any previous
offering to the country. In bis letter
to the bankers, the Secretary states
that the sale of certificates is "In
anticipation of the next Liberty Loan,"
which may be taken to mean that the
loan, probably to be issued In Octo
ber, will be for at least $6,000,000,000,
th exact amount depending on Gov
ernment expenditures in the next few
months. The Treasury already has
estimated these roughly at about $12,
000,000,000 between July 1 and next
January 1.
In this connection Mr. McAdoo an
nounces a new plan to facilitate the
payment of war taxes, a plan that may
be regarded as a substitute for the
partial payment scheme which many
members of the House and Senate are
advocating. He says that at some
favorable period during the summer
(he Treasury Department will offer to
the public, directly or through the
banks, an issue of aproxlmately $2,
000,000,000 in Treasury certificates.
These certificates, it Is explained, will
mature at suitable times "for use by
taxpayers in paying next year's taxes,"
that Is, taxes now levied end payable
In June, 1919, or taxes to be levied
by pending legislation.
The sale of certificates under the
plan In effect during the past year
amounts virtually to borrowing In ad
vance from banks on projected popu
lar war loans or tax collections, and
periodically refunding these short
term obligations in long-term Liberty
bonds. Depositary banks make
per cent, net, the difference between
the 4V4 per cent, interest paid by the
Government and the 2 per cent, col
lected for deposits.

Voung Americans Who Mailed Their
Cards May Bring Total Closer
To the Estimate Of
1,000,000.
Washington. Nearly complete re
ports to the Provost Matshal-General's
office show that 744,865 young Amerl
cans who have become of age during
the past year registered for military
service on June 5. This is 266,724 be
,ow the estimate of the Census Bureau,
but, since more than 200,000 unregis
tered 21-year-olds already are enlisted
In the Army, Navy or Marine Corps,
the military authorities find the result
entirely satisfactory.
Army and Navy estimates place the
number of 21-year-old men enlisted a't
208,588. This figure, combined with
the falling off in alien registration,
gives a total of 353,686, which means
that the Census Bureau apparently
missed the number of eligible by only
13,000.
"It is confidently believed that this
number will be made up by belated
registrations yet to be heard from, In
cluding among them the registration
of the absentees which Is accomplish

by Provost Marshal-General Crowder
In giving out figures on the basis of

HUNS HOIST WHITE FLAG.
Party Of 50 Germans Eager To Sur
. render To Americans.
London. A party of 50 Germans
among the troops who attacked the
Americans northwest of Chateau
Thierry surrendered under a flag of
truce, reports the correspondent of the
Dally Mail with the American forces In
France. All the German attacks fail
ed and they left behind them dead and
wounded. Describing the day's events,
the correspondent says:
"The Germans apparently are an
noyed at losing Belleau Wood. All
night and early morning guns of al
most every calibre pounded the Ameri
can lines at Bouresche and Belleau
Wood.
"Local attacks, more or less feeble
In strength, followed, and the Germans
entered the streets of Bouresches.
Nevertheless, the attacks failed and
the enemy left behind a number of
dead, wounded and many prisoners, 50
of whom surrendered under a flag of
truce, machine guns and trench
mortars.
"About 400 enemy calvary were dis
covered south of Eterpilly (north of
Bouresches), but few returned after
the American fired Into them.
"It Is believed the Germans have or
dered fresh dJvlslons to the American
sector, near Busslares (west of Belleau
Wood).
"The excellent relations between the
French and American commands Is
shown by the fact that a regiment of
Zouaves and a division of French ar
tillery now are working under an
American divisional command."

Ruthless Warfare Brought To Amer
lea May Mean Regular Patrol
Of U-Boats From Canada
To Mexico.
Lcndor The German Admiralty In
tends to declare the Eastern Coast of
the United States from Mexico to
Canadian waters a danger zone, and
will warn neutral shipping, says a dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph from
Amsterdam, quoting reports received
from Berlin.
Washington. In view of what has
been happening during the past few
weeks, officials here were inclined to
regard as a bit of grim humor the re
port from Berlin, via Holland, that the
German government is about to de
clare the Eastern American coast a
danger zone and to warn neutral ship
ping of its purposes.
Raiding submarines have already
served warning of the danger In more
forceful terms than Berlin could for
mulate In a diplomatic communication.
Several of the eighteen vessels sunk
by the raiders were neutrals, carrying
no war supplies. Neutral governments
are not likely to have overlooked that
fact, warning or no warning.
It Is recognized, however, that the
forthcoming warning may prove to be
a formal announcement of a rone In
American waters where ruth'.oss sink
ing of all ships is to be the order of
the day, forecasting a continuing men
ace off Atlantic ports through regular
submarine patrols.
Officials here have been fully awake
to the fact that such patrols could be
maintained if the German authorities
thought the results obtainable Justified
diverlr.g a large number of boats from
operations off the French, and British
coists. It has been figured out that
by starting a new raider or flotilla of
raiders every five days, one link In
the endless chain of U-boats always
would be on duty In American waters.
Such operations would mean that
for every boat actively engaged on
this side, there would be several on
the way over and several more on the
way back to Germany, none of which
would have any substantial value
while en route In either direction. On
this account. Navy officials generally
have discounted the patrol idea, be
lieving that much better results from
the German viewpoint would be ob
tainable by using the same number of
boats where they are now uted, In the
North Sea or adjacent waters.
It Is not regarded as impossible
that either by using mother ships or
through the establishment of a land
base, no sign of which has yet been
discovered, the Germans have hit upon
a way of malntah.g a U-boat flotilla for
an Indefinite time on this side. Since
there Is no evidence as yet of any ex
tension of thi zone of raiding opera
tion, however, and since nothing has
coi'ie to Indicate an increased number
of raiders at work, these possibilities
also are purely matters of -speculation.
Sofar as Allied and American ships
are. concerned, the "warning" can
maxe no difference. The raiders,
wh'le treating passengers and crews
of the ships they way-laid with a con
sideration that Is worthy of note only
because It is a departure from the
rutolessness of accepted German prac
tic elsewhere, have conducted cruiser
warfare under a strictly German in
terpretation of what that means. Un
arn ed merchant craft of no military
v'ue have been summarily dealt with.
Thi only armed craft sunk was tor
pedaed without warnln;.
Ii is assumed that any announce
ment from Berlin would be designed
chit fly to Intimidate neutral shlpWng.
Even then, the urgent demand at home
for FUpplirs procurable only In the
t.'nlted States and the glittering
fre' -lit rates obtainable probably
would overcome any anxiety neutral
nlrp owners might experience as a re
ul' of a "warning."
I eihaps the German Admiralty
ho-?s to stimulate home readers In
lie! many with the Idea that steps have
been taken to stop the flow of Ameri
can t 'oops to Europe. Actual enfor-e-ne
it of a I'-hoat blockade, however, If',
the only thing tint would in fact serve
to Interfere with that flow.

POUND' AND HALF
WEEK BEEF RATION
Appeal For Voluntary Reduction
By People.
Wants People To Substitute Fresh
Pork, Bacon, Ham and
8ausage.
Washington. To meet the needs of
the American and Allied Annies and
the civilian populations of France,
Great Britain and Italy, the American
people are requested by the Food Ad
ministration to place themselves on a
limited beef allowance from now until
next September 15.
Householders were asked not "under
any circumstances" to buy more than
one and one-half pounds, Including the
bone, for each person in the house
hold. Hotels and restaurants were asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly, beef steak more
than one meal weekly and roast beef
more than one meal weekly.
"The demand for beef for our army,
the armies of the Allies and their
civilian populations for this summer,"
said the Food ' Administration's an
nouncement, "are beyond our present
surplus. On the other hand, we have
enough Increased supply of pork this
summer to permit economical expan
sion In its use. It therefore will be a
direct tervlce to onr armies and the
Allies If our people will In some de
gree substitute fresh pork, bacon,
ham and sausage for beef products.
"The public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation In shipping, and, therefore,
of the markets available to the Allies,
and the Increasing demand for our
growing Army, with the fluctuating
supplies of local beef In France, all
make It impossible to determine
policies for a long period in advance.
We have recently asked for economy
In all meat consumption; we wish
now to emphasize further reduction of
beef by the substitution of pork. It
Is anticipated that this program will
hold good until September 15, and the
co-operation of the public Is most
earnestly requested."

PROTECTION PACT
FOR ALL AMERICAS
What President Wilson Told
the Mexican Editors.
BASIS FOR A WORLD PEACE
Mexicans and Loyal Men In All the
American Countries Should Plant
Seeds Of Trust and -Confidence,
Washington. Pan-Americanism, a
pact of all the Americas lor self-protective
purposes, Is advocated by Presi
dent Wilson. -
This developed with the authorized
publication of President Wilson's
recent address to a group of Mexican
editors visiting here.
Declaring the Monroe Doctrine to be
a case of telling Central America:
"We are going to be a big brother to
you whether you want us to be or
not," the President said the policy
contained .nothing that protects Mex
ico from "aggression rom us."
As a result, the President declared
he had observed some sister republics
to the South were uneasy lest "our
self-appointed protection (Monroe Doc
trine might be for our own benefit
and our own interest and not for the
interest of our neighbors."
Such an arrangement, he said, "will
toave to be the foundation of the fu
tue life of the nations of the world.
The whole family of nations will have
to guarantoe to each nation that no
nation shall violate its political In
dependence or )ts territorial Integrity.
That Is the only conceivable basis for
the future peace of the world, and I
must admit I was anxious to have the
states of the two continents of Amer
ica show the way to the rest of the
world as to how to make a basis of
peace.
"Peace can only come by trust. If
you can once get a situation of trust,
then you have got a situation of per
manent peace. Therefore, everyone
of us, it seems to me, owes it as a
patriotic duty to his own country to
plant the seeds of trust and confidence
instead of seeds of suspicion."
The President declared America's
attitude toward Mexico Is "not mere
ly the sort of friendship which
prompts one not to do his neighbor
any harm, but the sort of friendship
which earnestly desires to do his
neighbor service."
He declared the administration
policy was that "the Internal settle
ment of the affairs of Mexico was
none of our business." He then dis
cussed the punitive expedition after
the bandit Villa, saying:
"When we sent troops Into Mexico
our sincere desire was nothing else
than to assit you to get rid of a man
who was making the settlement 'of
your affairs for the time being impos
sible. We had no desire to use our
troops for any other purpose, and I
was in hopes that by assisting in that
way and then Immediately withdraw
ing, I might give substantial proof of
the truth of the assurance that I had
given your government through Presi
dent Carranza."

Paris. Ths French have struck the
Germans a hard blow along a front of
about seven and a half miles, between
Rubescourt and St. Maur, recapturing
Belloy, Genlls Wood and the heights
between Courcelles and Mortemer.
The official announcement by the
War Office of this gain says that the
Germans suffered heavy losses and
left more than a thousand prisoners
and some guns in the bands of the
French.
Several violent enemy attacks on
Chevlncourt were repulsed, but the
Germans gained a footing in Mache
mont and Bethcncourt, which places
are being bitterly disputed.
American tioops brilliantly carried
Belleau Wood, taking 300 prisoners.
Washington. American troops
northwest of Chateau Thierry ad
vanced their position in Belleau
Wood, capturing 250 prisoners and
considerable war material Including
a number of machine guns and trench
mortars, General Pershing reported.
It is in this section that the ma
rines have been fighting for a num-'
ber of days, and It was assumed here
that they were 'the troops referred
o.
The statement follows:
"Northwest of Chateau Tnlerry we
were again successful in advancing
our positions in the Belleau Wood.
We captured 250 prisoners, of whom
three were officers and considerable
material.
"In the Woevre our batteries ex
ecuted effective neutralization and
harrasslng fire."
American Army at the Marne. A
battalion of American marines (took?)
the northern half of Belleau Wood
(northwest of Chateau Thierry), cap-'
turing 350 Prussian and Saxon pris
oners, Including 10 officers, and two
Krupp field guns of three-Inch cali
ber, several huge minenwerfers and' a
number of machine guns. The attack
was delivered after two hours of pre
liminary bombardment In which the
Allied artillery made the shell-shattered
wood an Inferno for the Ger
mans resting there.
The furious American assaults
found the Germans stunned and reel
ing, ready to surrender. The Amer
ican machine gunners inflicted the
heaviest casualties upon the enemy.
Owing to the excellent artillery prep
aration and the swiftness rf the
operation the American casualties
were light.
The Germans launched an attack on
Bouresches, but the assault was
smashed thanks to the coolness of
the American machine gunners and
the accuracy of the artillery.
Belleau Wood lies In the Chateau
Thierry sector Just to the west of the
village of Bouresches and south of the
village of Belleau. It is In this region
that the American marines have been
fighting so valiantly recently, and
much praise was bestowed upon them
for their drive of the Germans
through the Belleau Wood, which had
been considered an almost Impreg
nable position by the Germans. Dis
patches from the front on Monday
said the marines had continued their
progress In the wood until the Ger
mans were holding only the northern
fringe of It.
