Failure of many of the states to complete their plans is holding up the drafting of the new army. Only seventeen states and the District of Columbia have completed plans. An impression has gone abroad that numerous declinations to act on the local exemption boards are holding up the plan of the provost generul in conscripting the 670,000 men. It was admitted today at the offices of Pro vost Marshal General Crowder that there had been refusals, but as these have totalled a little over 100, while the number who Will serve on these boards U 15,000 men, little importance is being attached to the refusals. In cases where men have declined and offeied good excuses their places were mmediately filled. That there can be no wholesale de clinations to serve on exemption boards for political or personal reasons, was made plain today by General Crowder. the selective draft law practically drafts these men to the service for which they were appointed. Their failure to serve sub jects them to a year's imprisonment. WILL WED TODAY. Son of Hetty Green Will Marry the 9,001st Woman. IBy the: sleraaioaal Xetre scrwice.) CHICAGO, July 10. Col. F.. M. R.

The Second Liberty Loan Will be Offered at 3'z Per Cent. PLANS MADE FOR FLOATING' LOAN Treasury" Officials Confer With Hankers Regarding the Bond Sale. BY HOMF.R J. DODCE. . (By tht lnlrrmHmnl AVw Aert-lce.l WASHINGTON, July 10. A new war loan of tMO.ono.OOO, the second installment of the Liberty Laon of 191" will he offered to the public at 3t per cent on September IS, it was learneij at the treasury department today. Already officials are laying the ground work for floating the huge isiue, the largest ever offered in the history of American financing. This issue will dispose of the entire amount of war bonds authorized by "eongress $r,,(MHMH)0.fK'). As soon as the loan is completed treasury officials and congressional leaders will begin to work on a new war bond program which will result in the voting of another l.ig credit, probably larger than the present one. next spring, if the war has not at that time come to an end. Despite the fact that the $J,W0.000.000 installment of the Liberty Loan has barely been closed and the full amount of subscriptions under its terms have not been paid in, the treasury can see the point at which it will be in need of leady cash. To meet this situation substantial offerings of treasury certificates of indebtedness again will be made. The first lots of these, sold immediately after the entrance of the I'nited States into the war, have already matured and been naid, either in the form of Liberty Bonds or in cash. This situation, under the law, leaves these redeemed certificates available for re-issue. Confer With Bankers. Treasury officials have held conferences with bankers of the country, principally in New York, to perfect arrangements for the floating of the new war loan. The bankers and business men of the country have sug gested to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and. his assistants that they be given ample notice of what service the government desires them to perform in assisting in the sale of the war bonds. When the first installment of the Liberty Loan was offered there had been too little time to make elaborate arrangements and the bankers found themselves, embarrassed in many cases by the double work placed upon them. They have signified to the treasury their willingness to aid the government in every way they can but they have insisted that they he given notice of the plan of the government long enough in advance to make provision for the care of their early fall business. It was in response to this demand for information thai the treasury notified them that the next issue will be forthcoming September 13, unless present plans miscarry. Secretary McAdoo has asked the various local committees which took charge ot tne nrst issue to retain liicit organization. This request will be generally granted and the summer will be spent in perfecting staffs of men to handle the new Libert Loan work. The officials of the government, the banker and the local committee of business men, are checking over the obvious mistakes of the first campaign for money and will avoid them in floating the second issue. With more than two month' notice, the busines interests of the country expect to be able to conduct m campaign far more brilliant thin the rather impromptu campaign which resulted in an oversubscription of the first installment of the Liberty Loan.
