Herr Von Heydebrand had asked the
Admiral whether he believed Germany
could win a complete victory through
the submarine campaign. The Ad
miral's confident reply waa used by the
Conservative leader to -confound
'doubters and lukewarm Individuals"
found among the German masses, who
are- questioning In increasing: .degree
the political and military efficacy of
ruthless submarine warfare.
Herr Von Heydebrand also gave
warning, against hope of a separate
peace with Russia and a consequent
easy victory over Germany's other .opponents.
NO MORE TIME GRANTED
San Francisco Reserve District Is
Kearly 03 Per Cent Behind,
According to Reports In '
Hands of Government.
WASHINGTON. June 18. Treasury
officials announced today that the lib
erty loan apparently was short J342,
000,000 of full subscription Tuesday
night, two and one-half days before
the closing of the books.
Announcement was based on actual
returns forwarded by banks and trust
companies to the 12 reserve banks, ac
companied by the two per cent of sub
scriptions required.
A. tremendous llth-hour- drive
throughout the Nation, officials hope,
will bring the final count of dollars
well beyond the $2,000,000,000 mark.
The only tangible evidence on which
to base an estimate, however, are the
returns from the reserve bank as of
the close of business last night. These
phow total actual subscriptions of 11,
658,000,000, distributed among reserve
districts as follows:
New York, $758,500,000; Boston, $161,
000,000; Philadelphia, $83,000,000; Rich
mond. $55,000,000; Atlanta, $28,000,000;
Chicago, $184,000,000; Cleveland. $153,
000,00; St. Louis. $47,000,000; Minneapo
lis. $50,000,000; Kansas City, $58,000,
000; Dallas. $29,000,000, and San Fran
cisco, $52,000,000. '
New Yrk 25 Per Cent Ahead.
New Tork not .only has exceeded the
minimum allotment but It has topped
the maximum of- $750,000,000 by $8,
000,000.
Here is the apparent shortage In each
reserve district, based upon the latest
returns and the minimum allotments
Boston, $79,000,000, or S3 - per cent
Philadelphia, $57,000,000, or more than
40 per cent; Richmond, $25,000,000, or
more than 30 per cent; Atlanta, $32,000,
000, or more than 53 per cent; Chicago,
$76,000,000, or more than 29 per cent;
Cleveland. $27,000,000, or 15 per cent
Ht. Louis, $33,000,000, or more than 40
per cent; .Minneapolis, i3U,uuu,uuu ; or
S7V4 per cent; Kansas City, $42,000,000,
or 42 per cent; Dallas, $11,000,000, or
more than 27 per cent; San Francisco,
$88,000,000, or nearly 63 per cent.
Analysis of these figures discloses
that outside of New Tork the country
apparently had failed, up to last night.
by exactly $500,000,000 to take its min
lmum allotment of $1,400,000,000 of the
bonds, the other $600,000, minimum be
ing alloted to New Tork. ' Thus, while
the' New Tork district has over-sub
escribed lta minimum allotment by ap
proximately 25 per cent, the rest of the
country as a. whole apparently has
fallen 36 per cent underwits minimum.
Noon Friday Is Limit.
The closing hour of noon Friday is
not to be extended, notwithstanding
widespread rumors to the contrary. The
closing hour will be the standard time
of the section of the country in which
each reserve bank is situated and will
apply to all banks in that reserve dis
trict.
Secretary McAdoo, home after hli
second speaking tour for the liberty
loan and just before leaving for Balti
more to make his last speech for the
loan, issued a statement in which he
eaid:
"A tremendous interest has been
aroused in the liberty loan throughout
the country. On my recent trip I found
everywhere a spirit of enthusiasm and
patriotic co-operation among all classes
of the people, which means that
America aroused Is indomitable and in
(Vincible.
Great Triumph Expected.
The liberty loan will be a success
If the work is maintained at the pres
ent high pitch of interest and effici
ency until June 15. Should the final
returns on. June 15 disclose that the

or more than in full it will be a dis
tinct triumph; it will be a superior rec
ord to that made by any one of the
belligerent powers in the flotation of
Its first war loan.
"This loan, the total of which Is $
000,000,000, is the most colossal piece
;f financing ever undertaken In the
United States. I urge every patriotic
' organization every bank and every pri
vate corporation, and. every Individual
; working for the success of the liberty
loan to continue their efforts with re
. newed vigor and enthusiasm - for the
remaining .two days. If they do this,
as I know that they - will., the first
Kreat. victory of this war for "liberty
ana democracy will have been won.

"PRINCE" TAN IS DEAD
Chinese Actor, Favorite of ex-Em
peror, Passes at 72.
PEKIN. May 12. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) "Prince" Tan,
said to be the most influential actor
China has known, is dead at the age
of 72. - Of humble parentage, he was
given the nominal title of Prince be
fore the e'fi of the Manchu regime
and it clunj' him during the republic.
Tan was the favorite of the late Grand
EmpresaJDowager Tsu II si and was a
great political factor Minder the Tsing
dynasty. ' - . . ...
His salary was once reputed to be
nearly 10 times that of the prime Min
ister of China, being put at $15,000 a
month, and during the last years of his
life he was paid $600 for every public
or private appearance, his average time
on the stage for a" performance being

Bill Appropriates Money for Every
Military Purpose, Including Mer
chant Marine - and Pay for
Men at Reserve ' Camps.
"WASHINGTON.- June 13. The $3,000.-
000,000 war budget finally got over
the last obstacle In Congress today and
went to President Wilson for his sig
nature.
It appropriates the greatest sum ever
voted at one time by any legislative
body. Its amount Is greater than the
total cost of the Civil War.
The budget provide principally for
Army and Navy expenditures. Aside
from that feature its most Important
single provision Is an appropriation of
$750,000,000 for an American merchant
marine, to be constructed by the ship
ping board under the direction of Ma-
JorGeneral Goethals.
At the last moment there was a ques
tion In the Senate whether the language
which placed General Goethals In
charge of the work had been suffi
ciently definite so he could not be
forced out of office without consulting
Congress. It was explained that al
though the House had changed the
Senate's language In that regard, it
was satisfactory to General Goethals.
Objection to the conference report
on the ground It falledto make It im
possible for . the Shipping Board to re
move General , Goethals from office
should it so-desire, was made by Sen
ator Lodge, of 'Massachusetts, and
Smith, of Michigan.
"Congress and the country have con
fidence in Goethals and mean to keep
him where he Is, but that la not the
plan of the Shipping Board," said Sen
ator Lodge. The bill as originally
passed by the Senate provided for Gen
eral Goethals by name, but that waa cut
out In the House.
Senator Martin, In charge of the bill.
assured the Senate that there was no
intention to remove General Goethals.
Senator Smith attacked 'the Shipping
Board, saying:
The Board has appeared before out
committee several times and if they
have any large capacity, they have yet
to demonstrate it."
In addition to funds for innumerable
military purposes, the. bill appropriates
$100 a month for men in reserve offi
cers' training camps. .
