EXPECT GON. TO GIVE $40,000,000 Trasary Dept, Mikes Koown Liberty Loan” Estimates Washington, May 28.—What every part of the country is expected to do in ;unloosing its purse strings for the Libesty Loan was officially announced “"last night by the treasury department. The figures made public are the min- imum. The maximum, it is hoped, will dbe such an over-subscription as ‘has never before been recorded in the history of any nation. oy In ‘the schedule of min- *imum ‘performances expected by the Bast, West, South and Pacific Slope, treasury experts have built a struc- ture of figures with the entire bank- ing resources of the country as its foundation. They, have based their calculations, not upon the patriotism of any pafticular region, but upon the number of dollars to be found in the banks of that region. The program thus tentatively created, it is realized, bably will be reshaped entirely by ; the response of the people of the; Unfted States. But as a guide in the | absence of any other precedent, it will serve the purpose of showing each dis- trict just what the nation expects of it, Coincldent with the announcement . of the tentative allotments—which in reality are not allotments, but esti- metes of what each region should take—the Federal Reserve Board an- nounced last night that it had availed Jtself of the extraordinary powers vested in it by congress and virtually had placed at the disposal of every bank in the United Statés, member &nd non-member, the powerful ma- chinéry of the reserve system to assist in making the loan an overwhelming success. ‘Reserve District Allotménts. Ia msaking public its tentative allot- ments of bonds, the treasury depart- ment has adopted two bases of est)- mating—a $2,000,000,000 issue and one of $2,600,000,000, the latter designed to meet the possibility of any one re- slon fafling to take the amount estl- mated. The tentative allotments, maximum and minimum, by reserve istricts, follow:, > Bosaton, $240,000,000.to $300,000,000. New York, $600,000,000 ‘to' $750,- 000,000.

Katten & Son, the well known Asylum street clothiers of Hartford, have an interest- ing story about straw and Panama hats. This is the season of the year when a man wants to shed his old “Dicer”” that has stood by him dur- ing the trying months that are gone, and get something on his head that feels more like the atmosphere around him—Ilight and airy. The Kat- ten store has a remarkably fine as- sortment of straw and' Panamas at prices that put them well within the reach of all. They have a line of sajlor hats, plain and with fancy bands, selling at $1.60 to $3.50. In Panama hats they have a line from at $3.50 and they are of the telescope and diamond styles. They also have some natty’ genuine Panamas, all styles, selling from $6 to $7- The gen- ulne Leghorng they aré offering at $2 to $5 are beauties.

Gaucus Which Opposes Bill ‘Washington, May 2 ‘The first break of the war between the admin- istration &nd the republicans was threatened late yesterday when the minority party in the house held a caucus and voted to oppose any press censorship provision in’the General Espionage bill, now in conference be- tween the two houses following its passage by house and senate. Soon after this action was taken Chatrman ‘Webb of the house judiclary commit- tee received a letter from President ‘Wiison insisting ‘on the retention _ ot the censorship clause. In the caucus Representative Med- ill McCormick of Illinois moved to op- pose the Gard amendment to the spy bill. This amendment, a compromise, was adopted by the house after (it had rejected the original censorship provision- Representative Graham of Penn- sylvania, a republican leader, ap- proved Mr. McCormick’s motion. Mr. Graham is to lead the fight against : press censorship when the bill is re- ported back to the house after the conference, as he led the fight on the floor against oenlorlhlp betorg the bill ‘was paséed. i The president’s letter, made public by Mr. Webb some hours after the republican caucus, follows: My Dear Mr- Webb: I have been very much sur- prised to find several of the pub- lic prints stating that the admin- istration has abandoned the posi- tion which it so distinctly took, and still holds, that authority to exercise censorship over the press, to the extent that that censorship is embodied in the recent action of the house of resentatives, is absolutely necessary to the pub- lic safety. It, of course, has not been abandoned, because the rea- sons still exist why such author- ity is necessary for the protection of the nation. I have every confidence that the great majority of the newspapers of the country will observe a pa- triotic reticence about eve: ‘whose publication could be of in- jury, but in every country there &re some persons in a position to do mischief in this field who can- not be relied upon and whose in- terests or desires will lead to ac- tions on their part highly dan- gerous to the nation in the midst YOU SHOULD PROTECT YO DRY CLEANING AND DYEING work against disease and possible mfectlon by Patromzlng the SANITARY DRY CLEANING plant in Conn. plant of its kind.

I want to say again that it seems to mes imperative that powers of this sort should be granted. Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON, The president’s letter caused some surprise because many members of congress and some administration leaders had understood for several days that no further attempt was to be made at present to put through any such provision. Sentiment in the sen- ate is strong against censorship, and unless the conferees agree upon a very mild form, it probably will not be accepted there- Representative Webb announced upon receipt of the president’s letter that he would wage a determined fight in behalf of the censorship amend- ment, written into the bill in the house by & narrow margin, just be- fgre it was sent to conference. An incident of the caucus was the promise by Republican Leader Mann that he would name & steering com- mittee of republicans to consider leg- islation. Massachusetts, Lenroot of Wisconsin, ‘Moore of Pennsylvania, and Long- ‘worth of Ohio are mentioned for po- sitions on the committee. Insure sanitary food preservation with the utmost economy in ice.
