LOAN OF $3,000,000,000 Bonds to B. Offorod Public on Nov. 15. Officials Making It Hard For Slacker to 8eur. Exemption 20,000 Arrests For Failuro to Rogistsr Congress May Adjourn 8oon Other Capital Speclal Correspondence of The Ga- zcttc WASHINGTON, 1. C Aug. C. While the capital sizzled and collars melted during the In tense hot weather that Washington, together with other cities, experienced last week congress was busy. The Sheppard amendment to the food con trol bill, known as the "bone dry" amendment, was passed by the senate, but was postponed by the house. Un der the tgrjjis of this amendment the nation will become dry if thirty-six of the states ratify It during the next six years. The action on this amend ment will probably do much to expe dite the passage of the food control bill. The past ween in v asmu&'Uvn brought about the first rumors of an early ad journment of cougress. There are only a few measures, absolutely necessary for the conduct of the war, now up for consideration, and It is stated by lead ers of both parties that if congress gets a move on, it can adjourn by the mid dle of SeptemWr. It required a tem perature of 08 in the shade to create these rumors, however. It may also be mentioned that some of the long winded speakers have about talked themselves out and are ready and will ing to go home. 13,000,000,000 Loan on Nov. 15. The second liberty loan for $3,000. 000,000 will be launched Nov. 15. treasury officials said. Before that time It Is planned to issue nearly $1, 000,000,000 in treasury short Jime cer tificates to meet immediate-needs. On the eve of the announcement of the second liberty loan treasury offi cials are at a loss for a name to distin guish it from the first. To sell the second issue of bonds a campaign is being planned .which will overshadow the organization and pub licity which made the first bond issue so great a success. Much of the first organization will be used, conferences with district liberty loan committees and prominent bankers from all parts of the country already having been held. A new feature In the second bond selling campaign will be the women's liberty loan committee. It has named state chairmen and opened offices In the treasury building here. The entire campaign will be under the direction of Secretary McAdoo and the national liberty loan committee, which figured In the previous Issue. Several million new posters and 5,000,000 liberty loan buttons have been contracted for. ' To Fight Exemptions, The government Is preparing to fight claims for exemption from conscription. Concerned at the great number of those? attempting to -avoid service, the provost marshal general's office .an nounced the method by which the gov ernment would L appeal to . district boards from ruUnjrs of local boards; Warning that exemptions In agricul ture and -other 'industries would ' be carefully scrutinized was found m th. announcement that "the problem trf .- ... , ,, ....... . . t .. . - : h - ss . - M :!!'

Texan's Prohibition Amend ment to Food Bill Held Up In the House. ft to reduce interference with industry to a minimum, but it was the interest of the nation solely that must be sub served." As a direct slap at "man-lace slack ers" the government will automatically apiteal from every exemption on the grounds of dependency. Some person will be designated to make this appeal to protect the government's interests. This designation (of a party, repre senting the government) has already been made for each local loard or will be made within the next few days. General Crowder announced. Will Appeal Exemptions. "This person," it was explained, "may appeal exemptions or discharges on other grounds besides dependency if lie thinks injury to other registrants or t the government makes such appeal de slrable.' The purpose of the appeals is to ol--taln nation wide uniformity In exemp tion rulings, which is regarded as .otherwise impossible from 4,507 local boards. All registrants are invited by Oueral Crowder to report any improper ex emptlons. Discussing industrial exemptions. General Crowder said that district 1 boards were "powerless to relieve cases In which private loss or hardship rath er than national necessity" were at stake. "Otherwise another man would be asked to offer his life in order that this man's material benefit le served," said General Crowder. 20,000 Held For Evasion. Approximately 20,000 persons have been arrested thus far in the United States by agents of the department of Justice for refusing to register on' June 5 In accordance with the terms of the draft act - Most of those arrested, it became known, have been convicted and are serving sentences. Ever since June 5, registration day, the department of Justice has been quietly at work all over the country rounding op slackers. The roundup Is still on. The arrests cover cases where there was plain' evidence of an Intent to evade the law; In a majority of cases there was concerted action by groups of Individuals made up chiefly of So idallsts and L W. W. members. , . . ' A I HI. "a hi. : U: . ........ fc J .... 1 a r -4 ' , t:" i ".

Tho men arrested have received sen tences ranging from one day to one year in Jail. As rapidly as possible the department is registering" all those con victed and has assigned to them the serial numbers vacated by those com lng first on the list who have been re jected or have secured exemptions from their local boards. This will Insure the prisoners being put into the army pro vided tbey are found fit for military service, if found fit they will be taken out of Jail, but If rejected they will have to serve their sentences. Letters pouring into the department of Justice from every section of the country at the rate of 100 to 200 a day are reporting men who failed to regis ter for the draft. Thus far it has been found that the information hi a large percentage of the letters has been correct, and as a result of such voluntary aid to the gov ernment hundreds of slackers have been placed on the registration rolls. A larce number of the letters come from women. Facts About U Boat Attack. , A long official reort from Rear Ad miral Albert Gleaves describing in de tail the Incidents involving encounters of American troop ships and their con voying war vessels with German U boats in June falls to bear out in full the account of these incidents con tained iu a statement furnished to the press as a Fourth of July message by the committee on public information. The Fourth of July statement was prepared personally by George Creel, chairman of the committee, In the pres ence of Secretary Daniels and Admiral Benson, ilref of naval operations, ami has been much criticised in the senate and the press on the ground that it exaggerated what occurred. Mr. Creel has been criticised particu larly for the use of the expression "an attack in, force" in describing one of the encounters between the American convoying ships and German subma rines. In the official report of Admiral Gleaves nothing i said t' show that any attack in fori c was experienced by the American vessels. The report shows that there were two encounters with submarines und possibly a thlnl incident of the sort, although there is doubt that l" bouts were actually en gaged in hostile operations In this third instance. Iu the first encounter a sub marine is believed to have crossed the bow of Admiral Cleaves flagship and two torpedoes passed close to one of the American vessels. Another totred" was apparently seen, but the reiort of Admiral Gleaves is not dear on that point. One officer described as "Col. A."gave the opinion that streaks in the water were the wakes of two subma rines. The second encounter, that of June 25, was with two submarines sighted abeut two hours apart. There does not appear to be any doubt that these sub marines were seen. "A depth charge" was fired at one of the U boats, and "several pieces of lumber, quantities of oil, babbles and debris came to the surface." On the third occasion it was believed that a submarine was sunk, but the doubt has not been cleared. Beeflees Days on Tuesdays. , Resolutions to make every Tuesday a beeiless day and to Inaugurate system atic measures to curtail consumption of wheat bread, butter, sugar and young animal meat have been adopted by the food administration's hotel and restaurant committee. , The steps decided on include use of at least 10 per cent of some other kind of floor besides wheat for bread and rolls, substitution of fish, fowls, vege tables and fruits for heavy meats and elimination of idng of cakes and .cube ... v . .
