GO PERCENT- OF LOflfJ PAID II Treasury Department Shows Payments Made on Government Liberty Bonds. WAFHINGTON. July 24. Met than U percent of the $2.000.000,000 Liberty loan already has been paid into the treasury. Today's treasury statement, the first Issued in 2 4 days, shows payments June 0 on the Liberty loan account of si.::sr,.oj4.i:. Only 2 0 percent of the loan, or $400. duo, 000, was due June .'!, the two payments of two and is percent, respectively, bein due June K. and June -s. The amount thus voluntarily paid into the treasury by subscribers ahead of time totalled only 1 .".000,000 under a round billion dollars. Out of the proc eeds and other revenues the government had redeemed treasury certificates of indebtedness issued in anticipation of the loan, amounting to 462K.O00.000 June ::0. The balance was deposited in federal reserve and national and state banks and trust companies throughout the country in accordance with Sec'y McAdoo's plan of distributing the deposits amons as many institutions as possible. A total of 4560,662.218 was deposited in banks other than federal reserve banks June "0. Not a Hippie in Markets. Notwithstanding the enormous withdrawals to meet payments on the loan more than three times the sum due the redepositinp of the funds among banking institution's prevented even a ripple of disturbances in the money markets. The heavy payments on Liberty loan account ran up the government's balance of cash on hand June :: ii to the record figure of 41,-064.i'h.2.".r-. This was after the treasury department had redeemed certificates on indebtedness amounting to $626,000.000. The last day of the j;s : t ar also ranked high in ordiniry revenue lceipts. the total bf iiiLT more than $2.0n0.0un. Hundreds of thousands who bought so-called baby bonds, those of jr.O and l'"i denomination, availed theniM-lve of the privilege of payintr in full at otjee. Purchasers of l irire allotments were required to give two weeks' notice of their intention to pay in excess of the department's instalment program.

,, ' Jg . A ' ? V. i 51 t Big U-Boat Sent Down by U. S. Steamer PARIS, July 24. An American steamer recently sank a large German submarine, according to a dispatch to the Temps from Havre. While on a voyage from the United States, the steamer was .attacked by a submarine, and replying to its fire, sent 35 shells at the underwater boat, which assumed a perpendicular position and disappeared beneath the waters. BIG CUT IN OCEAN FREIGHT RATES PLANNED WASHINGTON, July 24. Kadical revision downward of ocean freight rates has been agreed upon in principle by shipping commissioner designated by Pres't Wilson and the I'.ritish foreign othee to represent the governments of the United States and Great P.ritain. Copies of a proposed agreement. 'under which the two governments not only would make sweeping reductions in present prohibitive rates but virtually would take over the operation of all allied merchantmen in the Atlantic, have been placed before the state department and the ivitish foreign oitice for approval. All the allies, with the possible exception of Japan, have signified their willingness to accept trie prouram. In the case of Japan, it is proposed to hove a Japanese merchant feet of as many ships as possible placed in the trans-Atlantic tra le to help render ineffective the uL marine warfare. This and other phases of the proposed agreement will be considered when the Japanese mis-ion headtd by Vice Admiral Takeshita reai lies the United States. Ne.itia! shipping, under the proposed agreement, a No would be forced largely into channels designated by America and Croat Britain. This would be made possible by the enfotxetnent of regulations denyirg to neutral ships supplies of bunker coal, needed by allied merchant men unless the neutral ships agreed to make at least a portion of their sailin-s between America and allied I ports I WAR TAX BILL TO BE BROUGHT IN TOMORROW WASHINGTON. July 2 4. Senate leaders decided Monday not to hold up war tax legislation lonper on account of the uncertain prospect over i lienor legislation in the food bill. I The finance committee voted to re port the war tax hill as previously approved, and to ask that debate on it besin Wednesday. The bill was reported to the senate a fortnight ao. but was with- ! drawn because of addition of the J moot amtndment to the food bill. I Ciairman Simmons has contended .... ... ir.at no revenue legislation could oe returned to the senate until congress hnally determines what prohibition measures it will take and what revenue can be had from liquor. He said tonight, however, that he had no information regarding the probable action of the conferees on the Smoot amendment. Several week; of debate generally was expe-e-ed on the war tax legislation.

"'Try your wt iclit er.' week i,nd tec how much you lose."

WASHINGTON. July Prcs't Wilson asked congress Monday to eliminate from the food control bill a senate amendment creating a joint committee of enators and representatives to (onfer ami advise with executive oitu-ers on war expenditures. la a letter t Chairman Lever of the house agriculture committee the president pointed out in frank terms that such a committee would be likely to constantly harass those directly responsible for the conduct of the war. Retention of the section, he notified congress, would he compelled to interpret as signifying "a lack of conlidence in myself." Mr. Lever and othtr house leaders are understood to be ready to make a determined fight against the provision, which was voted into the bill mar the close of the long sen-at-debate. The house leaders also are planning to oppose vigorously the senate's provision for a food control board of three members instead of one administrator, and there are many indications that in this likewise they will have the president's unqualified backing. Wilful Replies to lA'er. Mr. Wilson wrote to Rep. Lever in response to a letter promising to hasten the food hill through conference and asking advice on the war committee provision. The president's reply follows: "I am very much obliged to you for your thoughtful courtesy in stating to me ireumstanees of the present action on the food administration bill and 1 am particularly obliged to you for calling my attention to section 22. 1 deem it my duty to express iny opinion about that section and its effect upon the whole administration of the war very frankly indeed, since the public interest manifestly demands that 1 should do so. "Section 22 is not only entirely foreign to the subject matter of the food administration hill in which it is Incorporated but would, if enacted into law, render my task of conducting the war practically impossible. I cannot believe that those who proposed this section scrutinized it with care or analyzed the effects which its operation would necessarily have. The constant supervision of executive action which it contemplates would amount to nothing less than an assumption on the part of the legislative body of the executive work of the administration. Points to Lincoln's Troubles. "Thyore is a very ominous precedent in ovv history which shows how such a supervision would operate. I refer to the committee on the conduct of the war constituted by the congress during the administration of Mr. Lincoln. It was the cause of constant and distressing harassment and rendered Mr. Lincoln's task all but impossible. "I am not, I beg you to believe, in any way questioning what might be the motives or the purpose of the members of such a committee; I am ready to assume that they would wish to cooperate in the most patriotic spirit, but cooperation of that kind is not practicable in the circumstances. The responsibility rests upon the administration. There are abundant existing means of investigation and of the effective enforcement of that responsibility. I sincerely hope that upon the reconsideration of this matter, both houses of congress will see that my objections rest upon indisputable grounds and that I could only interpret the final adoption of section 22 as arising from a lack of confidence in myself." The Objectionable Amendment. The section objected to by the president was embodied in an amendment introduced by Sen. Owen, democrat, to take the place of a similar proposal by Sen. Weeks, republican. It was adopted by the senate, ."2 to 21, after a brief debate. Briefly, it would create a committee of five senators and fiv representatives to ascertain just how contracts were being let and money spent in the conduct of the war and to report to congress whenever it so desired. The president and the executive departments under the provision would be compelled "to keep said committee fully advised as to such expenditures and contracts." and the committee could compel attendance of witnesses in such inquiries as it chose tn make.

GENERAL ELECTION IN ENGLAND AVERTED LONDON, July 24. A threatened general election was azain averted when the houe of commons -Monday nuht, hy a three to one ote defeated the Wardle a.TJoiidmcnt to the corn production bill. which the ministers had announced their 'nter.tion to treat a a ote of vonfiderce. This uas the most critical atr endnient to the hill and the government ictory L regarded as insuring the .safe j-a-.ai?e of the measure, despite the fat that it is heartily disüked ?v a lane section of parlia menta i ia ns and the puMic. The stronu sentiment against (iain a treneral eltition d'irin the war, however, dominated oer the opposition to the hill and shov s that the government played a stronghand when it decided to treat the ote as one of confidence Monday's derate cae evidence f unabated dislike to the measrre. A nurni oi of the mr in hers, while maintaining lluir opi'osition to th.e hill, announced that they would support the cnverr.mor.t rather tha.i risk a cencral election.
