During the first three months the rate of lending has been approximately >600,000,000 a month. Extended It would mean an annual loan of >6,000.000,000 abroad, all the funda, of courts, being tn th!» country for foodstuffs, munit (one and other supplies. Estimated costs to the American government for He military and naval establishments during the first year of war were placed at approximately >4,000,000,000 soon after war was declared. The total of these two items. It is believed, was the figure Secretary McAdoo had In mind when he declared in his recent speeches on behalf of the Liberty loan that the government would be called on to raise *10.000.000,000 during the. flrat year of war. Present Indications are that congress will remain in session till late In October and that the war revenue bill will be among the last of the big measures to he disposed of. It is not unltkelv that authorisation for the additional loan to the allies, when sought, will be taken up about the same time, possibly as an amendment to the revenue bill.

ECZEMA HEALED

WASHINGTON, July 17-Census bureau and war department authorities today denied that northern elates had been penalised in population estimates for the draft or that the “solid south” had been favored. Answering protest* against the “paper population census" and hearkening to congressional threats of an investigation, director Rogers, of the bureao.aaserted: "We think the population la fully what we gave in the estimates ” The war department explained the estimates were fixed for the draft to equalise the burden of rural districts and industrial centers. In cities where many young men had flocked to work in war industries, the registration was unusually high and the population figures were boosted to fit the registration. Aliena Counted Out The large alien population of northern Industrial centers—a population not subject to draft—was not taken into consideration in the apportionment, according to the charges, made principally by Menator Lodge and Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut. “The men of this country when they throw their destiny Into the wheel of conscription do not want the dice loaded against them,” said Senator Brandegee He, with other northern senators, declared that the present draft plan forced northern stales to provide more than their Just share of the troops, while southern states were favored He objected to the exemption of aliens from draft when, in calculating population, aliens were Included with the citizens This, he said, would work great hardship in some states. Pomerene, of Ohio; Reed, of Missouri; Lodge, of Massachusetts, and McCumber, of North Dakota, agreed with. Brandegee. Asks for Figures. After bitter criticism of the official* in charge of the draft machinery, the senate adopted a resolution by Brandegee calling on the secretary of commerce to give the official estlmatea on j which the draft will be made. In some northern states, said the Connecticut senator, the proportion of aliens was some 20 per cent., but in the sduth It did not come to 1 per cent. In factories in New Britain, Conn., he declared. 8,600 were citizens and 3.500 aliens. The quota of draft In thle town would be 7.000, but the men would be taken from the 3,600 natives. “My state has every desire to furnish Us full quota in proper proportion,” said the senator, "but It ia seen that exempting aliens will place the whole burden of protecting the life and property of the foreigners upon the Americans This is not fair. A tremendous wrong has been done In the draft law.” Pomerene said in Cleveland the estimate had been made that there were 1.125,000 persons there, while as a matter of fact there were not more than M0,(W0. Akron was credited with 338,000. although the 1910 census gave It SS.tXW Canton was credited with 177,000, although the Chamber- of Commerce estimated the population at 75,000. Senator l^ods* said these figures made it evident that the animates of northern cities had been padded. "It la in order to make their draft proportion heavier, while southern estimates have been reduced bv the same beneficent authorities.” he declared "We are accustomed to being heavily taxed in the north. But it is going a bit too far when we are asked to give more than our proportion of soldiers.” Reed Says He Failed. Senator McCumber wished to negotiate with foreign governmenta, looking toward drafting aliens by thla country. Senator Reed said he had tried to get the alien exemption law amended, but was unsuccessful. Other complaints have been received here concerning the estimates for western cities. The majority of the western states registered only about 60 per cent, of their estimated eligible population There was some question at the time why this should be so. NoW It haa been said that the estimates were based on the census of 1910. plus percentage of growth. It will be recalled that for a few- years prior to 1910 there was a great boom on in the far west. The boom died out. The populations have remained almost stationary, in the majority of cases, but the estimates for the draft were based on a percentage to meet that of the mushroom grow-th before the last

census.

A second series of estimates, made before the states’ quotas were announced. Improved this situation, according to offlciala. A second census showed wide divergence from the earlier estimates. BLUMENTHAL VISITS WILSON
