ANOTHER BOND BILL AUTHORIZING $8,000,000,000 Has Bean Framed by the Hodse Ways and Means Committee, | Washington, June 27.—Another bond bil!, authorizing -eight billion dollars of Liberty bonds in addition to all heretofore authorized was framed to- day by the house ways and means committee in preparation for the next issup expected in October, and to pro- ‘de for a subsequent issue when nec- essary. Authorization is outstanding for $4,000.000,000 in bonds and thé next issue probably will be around $6,000,- 000. Chajrman Kitchin reported the bill 1 the house late today and leaders plan to. call it-up-and rush it through congress before the recess planned for next month. Besides autnorization - $8,000,000,000 more bonds for domestic purposes, a bill would authorize $1.500,000,000 more for loans to the allies, increasing the total provided for this purpose from $5.500,000,000 to $7.000,000,000. In trans- mitting the tehtalive drafe Secretary McAdoo stated that adfances to the les for July, August and September had been estimated . at $500,000,000 monthly and added “Loans to the allies have fallen con- =iderably below that figure and the ad- Ational appropriation would. 1 hope, carry us through the early winter.” ADDITIONAL AMERICANS IN .

Men Will Meet Today and Hear Report - of Their Business Agent. Bridgeport, Conn., June 27.—Between 8,000 and 10,000 machinists and tool- makers were on strike from the vari- ous manufacturing plants engaged in | war work in this city today, the orig- inal number of union men having been thizers. As yet there has. been no definite action taker by either the strikers or the manufactuers to bring about an agreement. ‘Whether the men will remain out until their employers have been forced into submission or will rely on the investigation by the war labor policies board and return to work immediately will undoubtedly be decideq tomorrow afternoon when they wil! gather at a mass meeting to hear the report of Samuel Lavit. business agent of the Bridgeport union, who today was in conference with members of the Taft- ‘Walsh board. Among the large 2 . ‘manufacturing plants affected by the strike are the | Remington Arms-U. M. C. company, the Liberty Ordnance company and the American-British company, where thousands of men have quit. Al these plants are engaged'in the production of vital munitions and ordnance.

ARE TRAINED . ; Developments which Have taken Place at Great Lakes Naval Training Station. (Special to The B\lletin.)v Washington, June 27—Former Pres- dent William Howard Taft, in & com- munication to the National Geographic Society, gives a graphic account of his impressions of the Great Lakes naval training station mear Chicago. A part of the communication is issued by the society asa bulletin in its geo- graphy series, as follows: ‘It is very .interesting to compare what the navy has done in its one great cantonment at the ‘Great Lakes naval training station, north of Chicago, with the many cantonments built and used by the army. The navy had 25,000 men to drill and train, and this camtonment was, therefore, about the same size or a little smaller than the average army cantonment. “It is a great permanent station, with accommodations for some 1,200 &r 1,500 gjackies in training, and of course offers conveniences that are used in_connection with the canton- ment. The buildings are somewhat more stoutly built. They are painted and constructed on somewhat differ- ent architectural lines, both of which make them a little more attractive to the eye. They have,also what the army has not two very large drill halls. They gave me a review of 7,000 jackies in one dril hall, and it was evident that these halls in the winter THOMAS J. SPELLAC C. S.

The total pulpwood consumption in the United States during 1917 is esti- mated by the Forest Service, on the basis of reports made by the pulp mills, at 5 536,802 cords, an increase of approximately 6 per cent. over the 1916 figures.

However, the pacifists were in the majority and' the fight has been adjourned.” Mr. Spellacy said that “the business of the” people is to win the war, and that the president .can hest’ be sus- tained in his great trial by the ex- pressed approval of the péople of the TUnited Staces, to-be thundered across the seas by a democratic sween.” Mr. Spéllacy declared his opposition to a federal prohibition amendment but he favored equal suffrage as “the exten- sion of a right and a privilege too long deferred.” He favored a short cam- paign and attention to customary du- ties until ‘ next fall.

During the very hot debate Senator Bramdegee made a forceful speech against the Anthony amendment, saving suffraze was a matter of states rights and ought not 0 be forced on states against their will. He asserted such state rights was a part of free zovernment and democracy and expressed grave doubt if the country would benefit under woman's votes. “Women are the queen bees of the nation,” said he, “and we all_pay them deference, all this talk about the shackles on their limbs their being slaves is tomfoolery lingo. In my opinion the Constitution of the United States was never meant to be used for sectional or local pur- poses. States have an inherent right to say who of their citizens shall vote and that is the only sane form of zoy- srnment” The opinion prevails here that in spite of threats by suffrage leaders the issue is dead so far as ac- tion at this session is coacerned and that #f rushed to a vote would o down to complete defeat., CAMP DEVENS' MEN ARE PRACTICING WITH SHOTGUNS Which Have Been Recommended For Close Fighting or Patrol Work.

While there is good reason fo believe that the American forces in Italy wifl be augmented considerably later, to= day’s aniouncement appears to make it certain that no direct movement from the United States at an early ldate is planned. It is known, however, that the suggest'on has heen consider- ed that the Ttalian expedition be made entirely independent of General Per- z’s forces, although equally under direction of Ceneral Foch gs su preme commander. The purpose of sendinz troops to Ttaly, M ker has explained, is more for. political than military reasons. Tt is desired to demonstrate again that the zllied nations and the United States are one in their purposes o all fronts and to cxtend the intercou: between the troops of all the powers at war with Germany.
