INTERPRETATION IS STRICT AUorncy-Gcneral Gregory Instructs Assistants That Provost Marshal Has Kulcd Failure to Report 3Icans Man Is Deserter. ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Authorisa tion to Issue bonds and certificates to taling $11,538,945,460 at one time is pro vided in the new war budget bill em bodying recommendations of Secretary McAdoo, which came from the printer today to the House ways and means committee. In addition to authority to float a 37.53S. 945,460 4 per cent bond issue to care for a previous $3,000,000,000 and a future $4,000,000,000 allied loan author isation, the Secretary desires power to issue additional certificates of indebt edness to the amount of $2,000,000,000 and an equal amount of war savings certificates in a form available to small Investors. Lives of the certificates of indebted ness and war savings certificates would be limited to one and five years, re spectively, and they would be subject to discount and payment in the dis cretion of the siecretary. He also would fix the interest rates and regulate in terest payments. They, like the bonds, would be subject only to super tax, war profits and excess profits tax. Inclusion of the two additional cer tificate proposals, not mentioned here tofore by Administration leaders in connection with the bill, is understood to be for the purpose principally of providing against a sudden demand for money which the Treasury might not be able to meet. As Congressional lead ers understood the situation, it may not be necessary to issue many of the cer tificates, but they would prove the means of getting money quickly if it were needed. Small Investor Favored. Authorization to issue the certificates would prove particularly valuable, it la pointed out. if Congress should not Increase the revenue, bill now under discussion by $500,000,000, as proposed by Mr. McAdoo. It is by no means cer tain that this proposed increase will be obtained. In the war savings certificates pro posal Administration leaders think they have discovered a means of ap pealing to the patriotic man of small means. Purchases of these certificates would be limited to $100 worth at a time, and no individual would be per mitted to hold more than $1000 worth of them. Plans are also being made to accept small payments on. them, the -bill pro viding the Secretary may, if he deems advisable, issue stamps to evidence payments. Under such an arrangement payment of such amounts as $1 -or less might be made and noted as are postal savings banks deposits. No feature of the entire loan scheme will receive greater or more careful attention than this one. Leaders feel It is essential to the success of the war that everyone be made to feel that he is doing his bit, particularly in a fi nancial way. Attractive Interest Likely. Although the interest rate has not been determined, it doubtless will be ample to attract investors. In general respects the bill Is simi lar to the budget of last April, which authorized $5,000,000,000 worth of b&nds In addition to $2,000,000,000 in certifi cates of indebtedness. The new 4 per cent bonds could not be sold for less than par, and- the Secretary would be authorized to purchase allied bonds at par, but their rates of interest must not tie less than the highest rates paid by the United States bonds. The new bonds also would be convertible if later the United State should issue ' other bonds at a higher rate of interest. None of the bonds would bear the cir culation privilege. Indications tonight are that the bill will not be taken up for passage until after the revenue bill passes the Sen ate, probably late next week.

Administration Plan Is to Offer $2,000,000,000 to Small In vestors at Rate of "Interest Sufftolently Attractive. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Renewed Instructions that drafted men who fail to report for service will be classed and punished as deserters were sent to United States District Attorneys and gents of the Department of Justice tonigftt by Attorney-General Gregory. Provost Marshal-General Crowder has ruled that persons who neglect to appear for examination will be ac- epted automatically and that the privi lege of claiming exemption will be de- ied. It was to help carry this policy nto effect that the Attorney-General acted. His Instructions follow: 'It has been determined by the Pro vost Marshal-General that persons who fail to appear for their physical ex amination after having received their otices to do so from the local boards. by -such failure waive their right to hysical examination and are accepted by the board without such examina tion. Their names will" be certified to the district boards as-chosen by the local boards for the. National Army. If they do not then appear to claim exemptions, they will thereby waive the right to such exemptions as they might have claimed, and their names will be certified by the first board to the Adjutant-General of their respect- ve state as persons for the National Army. The Adjutant-General will then mail them a notice to report for duty at a specified time and place and such notices will be given publicity accord- ng to the regulations of the conscrip tion act. Such persons then become subject o the military authorities at the time esignated by the Adjutant-General for them to report. Should they fail to comply with this notice, they become deserters from the Army and will be reated as such b" the military authori ties. - ' It is, therefore, a matter of vital concern, not so much to the Govern ment as to the persons themselves, to see that they give the correct address for their notices to be mailed to them. Should they fall to comply with these notices r.fter receiving them, they be come automatically drafted without re gard to physical examination or to ex emption or discharge. "Where persons are known to be will fully refusing to comply with the re quests of the local boards and are eo conducting themselves as to be a men ace to the proper enforcement of the conscription act, and their whereabouts are known, they should be detained in ail on complaints charging violations of section 6 of the conscription act un it the time when they are ordered by he Adjutant-General to reDort for dutv n the National Army. They should, at that date, be turned over to the mili tary authorities. "No prosecution need be had, as it will be unnecessarily expensive and lit tle is to be gained therefrom.
