' 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.

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.
