Scores of small Investors men and
women with $50 or $100 a piece ap
plied at the local banks yesterday for
liberty bonds. .
It was the biggest day, considering
the number of applicants, since the
opening of the campaign.
At one bank 29 separate applications
were received; at another 27, and from
10 to 20 at half a dozen other banks.
Bond salesmen who are soliciting
subscriptions in the offices and fac
tories report an encouraging; number
of small subscriptions.
It is apparent tha the Portland pub
lic is becoming- thoroughly aroused to
the obvious duty of meeting Its quota
of the liberty loan.
Whils the small investors are com
ing: to the front in ever-increasing;
numbers these days, the heavier in
vestors remain conspicuously in the
background, as the volume of total sub
scriptions reported yesterday will tes
tify. Day's Subscription $164,750.-
The total subscriptions in the city
and state yesterday were $164,760, of
which $96,200 were in the city and
$68,650 in the country,
Portland's total subscriptions to
date now are $1,943,950. and the outside
district's $1,221,650 an aggregate of
$3,165,500.
The total requirement for the city
is $6,000,000 and for the country
$2,500,000 an aggregate of $8,500,000.
Thus, with only 11 business days
remaining; until the close of the cam
paign, on June la. an aggregate of
$5,334,500 remains to be subscribed In
the state at large an average of $484,
954.44 a day. ,
It is probable that with the state

center their interest on the bonds with
a resulting substantial increasing in
both the volume and number of sub
scriptions. Employers to Aid In Sale.
Many large employers are complet
ing arrangements to buy heavy blocks

Company yesterday offered its em
ployes an opportunity to subscribe, on
credit, to the extent of 25 per cent of

ments over a period of 20 months.
The payments on a $60 bond will be 1
only $2.60 a month and on a $100 bond
$5 a month.
The company will charge the em
ployes 3Vj per cent interest on the de
ferred payments and hold the bonds
themselves as security. The employes'
will be allowed to draw the interest
on the bonds while they are held by the

ANTI-DRAFT PLOT IS
RELIEVED IN RAND
President Warns' Slackers of
Imprisonment if Law
Is Not Obeyed.
GOVERNMENT IS ON ALERT
With 10,000,000 Men Affected, Oc-
casional Disturbance "Will Not
Bo Surprising Aid of Vol
unteer Bodies Is Asked.
WASHINGTON, June 1. Department
f Justice officials are of the opinion
that tho situation with respect to the
raft Army registration Tuesday is
well In hand, that there will be no
really serious disturbances and tnat
tho Nation will wake up Wednesday
to find that outbursts have bsen
poradio and not the result of a gen
eral feeling against the law.
President Wilson, in a proclamation
Issued today, warns all persons seek
ing to avoid registration by leaving
the country, that they expose them
selves to prosecution and military
service eventually in spite of their
fforts to avoid it.
Slackers to Be Jailed.
The President's proclamation says:
"I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States f America, do hereby
give warning that all persons subject
to registration ... who withdraw
from the Jurisdiction of the. United
States for the purpose of evading said
registration, expose themselves upon
their return to the Jurisdiction of the
United States, to prosecution for such
evasion of registration pursuant to
section five of the act of Congress ap
proved May 18. 1917. which enacts that
any person who shall wilfully rail or
refuse to present hlmseir lor registra
tion or to submit thereto as herein
provided, shall bo guilty of a misde
meanor and shall, upon conviction in
a District Court of the United States
having jurisdiction thereof, be punished
by imprisonment for not more man
On year and shall thereupon be duly
registered-'
30 Arrests Arc Made.
It was- pointed out at the Depart
ment of Justice tonight that more than
10,000,000 men are required to register
under tha law and that it would be
surprising indeed if such a day were
to pass off without incident, as no
general election ever held in this coun
try passes without some disorder.
Attorney-General Gregory oraers
had caused the arrest of about 30 per
sons up to today in connection with
anti-draft propaganda. Only a few
more, probably less than half a dozen,
are expected before Tuesday. Such a
showinr is looked upon as extraordi
nary and as a convincing indication
that despite oratory and the few con
spiracles, discovered to interfere with
it, or to prevent the response of the
men of draft age, there has been no
substantial movement to defeat the
purpose of the law.
The department expects that there
may be a number of evasions of the
registration provision that will look
large in total, but not when the great
number subject to the law is consid
ered. Many even of those who do
evade Tuesday are counted upon
eventually to come forward to make
good without prosecution. It was as
serted tonight that out of the 10,000,000
the slackers would not number one in
100.
Attorney-General Gregory reiterated
his request that local organizations
aid in the work of seeing that every
man between 21 and 30 years of age
in. their communities registers his
name.
'The department," he said, "has been
greatly aided in several instances by
volunteer organizations in cities and
towns which have compiled records and
held them available . for the depart
ment's use and also hava furnished val
uable Information to Its agencies. As
sistance of the sort referred to is of
great value and will be gladly received.
1 urge patriotic men in every section
of the country to perfect organizations
which will see to the registration of all
names In their communities, preserving
notes showing the personal sympathies
and activities of Individuals. I do not
suggest methods tn detail, as these may
be worked out by the men who are
wlliln? t act and are not otherwise en-
giiseu in serving tneir country.
Exemption Query WalvctC
The War Department announced that
no man registering would be required
to answer the question of whether he
claims exemption. It will be sufficient
to present his claim if he is called be
fore the exemption board later. Of
ficials at seaports and along United
States boundaries had orders o detain
men seeking to leave the country to
avoid registration and the War Depart
ment is considering means of enrolling
Americans living abroad.
