The allotment's to these, subscriptions will be at the rate of 20.22 per cent and they will receive bonds of the value of $5,055,000 each.

In cases where large subscriptions have been reported to the Federal Reserve Banks as consisting of a number of small subscriptions, provision has been made for allotment in accordance with the several amounts of the smaller sub scriptions. "The figures as to the number of sub scriptions are estimates," Mr. McAdoo explained, "because the returns from the Federal Reserve Banks in this re spect are incomplete, but when finally reported they will exceed the number stated (4,000,000). "One of the chief purposes of the campaign was to distribute the liberty bonds widely throughout the country and place them as far as possible in the hands of- the people. This was impor tant, because the strength of Govern ment finance, like the strength of Gov ernment policies, rests upon the sup port of the people. The large number of subscribers, especially the large number of small subscribers, is most gratifying and indicated that the in terest of the people was aroused as never before in an issue of bonds. Enemy Tongue la Silenced. "The widespread distribution of the bonds and the great amount of the over subscription constitute an eloquent and conclusive reply to the enemies of the country, who claimed that the heart of America was not in this war. The result of which every citizen may well be proud reflects the patriotism and the determination of the American peo ple to fight for the --indication of out raged American rights, the speedy restoration of peace and the establish ment of liberty throughout the world. "As originally announced, the pres ent issue of bonds is limited to $2,000. 000,000 and no allotments will be made in excess of that amount. I have con sequently decided to exercise rights re served in the announcement offering the bonds to the public, to allow in full all applications for the smaller amounts and to reduce allotments on applica tions for the larger amounts. In view of the great number of subscribers for $10,000 and less, allotments will be made to them in fall." The flrBt installment of 18 per cent of subscriptions, or $360,000,000, is due next Thursday, June 28. the initial 2 per cent having -been forwarded with subscriptions.- 40-FOOT CHANNEL PLANNED Senator McXary Asks Appropriation for River Survey.

COUNCIL SESSION RIOTOUS Action Taken After Mayor Declares Meeting Adjourned Public Is Aroused by Selection Im peachment Is Proposed. CHICAGO. June 22. In a riotous ses sion today, which followed a week of public clamor over the ousting: of of ficials of the School Board, the City Council, by a vote of 45 to 22 on re consideration, refused o confirm Mayor Thompson's School Board appointees. The action was taken without the presence of the Mayor, who had de clared the session adjourned some time before the confirmation was called up. He left the chamber and the Aldermen reconvened the meeting. A resolution by Alderman Kennedy, Socialist, moving the impeachment of Mayor Thompson, was sent to the Judiciary committee. Nine School Board trustees, two of them holdovers, were appointed re cently by the Mayor and confirmed by the Council. The first act of the new Board was to elect Edwin S. Davis president in place of Jacob M. Loeb, who had come into bad favor with Thompsons Larson and Angus Shannon, for many years secretary and counsel for the Board, also were replaced.. The removals and the idea of making- the public schools the subject of a political disturbance caused much criticism, and the Aldermen who had voted for the confirmations met today to reconsider their actions. Mayor Thompson's action in adjourn ing and attempting to prevent the Council repealing Its former act was characterized by State's Attorney Hoyne as arrogant and tyrannical in a statement, in which the prosecutor said; "As a matter of first impres sion, I believe Thompson's action fur nishes grounds for his removal from office by proceedings at the Instance of the Attorney-General or the State's Attorney."
