They will be Issued in such denominations and upon such terms that every patriotic citizen will have an opportunity to assist the government by lending his money upon the security of a. United States gov ernment bond. It is essential to the success of the war and- to the support of our gallant troops that these loans shall not only be subscribed, but over subscribed. No one is asked to donate or give his money to the government, but everyone is asked to lend his money to the government. The loans will be repaid in full, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. A government bond is the safest invest ment in the world. It Is as good as currency, and yet neiter, oecause we government bond bears Interest and currency does not No other invest ment compares with : it for safety, ready convertibility Into cash and un auestloned availability as collateral security for loans In any bank in the United States. j ' How Everyone Can Kelp People by thousands ask the treas ury constantly bow they can help the government In th'.s war.

(U. P.) England had about decided today that once again it must fight the Germans with the Boches own weapons of f rightful ness. The public demand for repris als, on German cities for the work of German airmen over London and coast counties had approached the. point of a netlonwlde cry. Authoritative reports today had it that the government was practically ready, awaiting :only de cision or the military authorities to put a formidable reprisal program into force. The proponents of a strict eye fnr T &n1 tooth for tooth renrtaal 'plan pointed out forcefully that for weeks England and the other allies in the war endured the German fright fulness of poison gas before It was reluctantly decided that tor the safety of its manhood the inventors of this ghastly form of warfare, must be fought with their own weapon. The same was true of the German revival of Greek liquid fire. j The Northcliffe papers in particular are thunderingly demanding actioar The press as a whole points out that the Germans seldom raid French cities because they know If they do the re-' taliation will be prompt and the dam age repaid fourfold to German cities.

The city confidently expected a raid last night The streets were almost deserted and the cellars had been madH ready for occupancy.

S. for War Purposes, Washington. Oct. 3. (I. N. S. In his study at the White House Presi dent Wilson late this afternoon signed the $2,535,000,000 war revenue bill that was agreed upon in congress after four months of wrangling. The signing of the bill, which as a law imposes some kind of tax upon everyone in the United States toward financing the early stages of the war upon Germany was in the presence of only one of the White House secretaries. The law goes into effect at once. Senator Simmons, the finance com mittee" chairman, explained that the decrease of about $200,000,000 from the estimate of Saturday night .wis because of revisions, lie said tne in crease added by the senate and confer ence hanges amounted to $1,102,000, 000, of which $128,000,000 was insert ed by the conferees. Zone System Called Viclons "It Is a much better bill than it was when it came from either house of congress," he said. " Senator Simmons declared that the result of the .conference was "a dis tinct senate victory." for the house conferees had, yielded 275 of 320 con tests. ' Senator Smoot Of Utah did not agree with Senator Simmons that the bill had been bettered In 'conference. "IV is not better; it is worse," he said in effect, adding that he opposed the injection of new matter not ap proved by eltaer house. "I know that there are not enough votes to send this bill back to confer er.ee." said. Smoot "If, we had the votes, I would move to recommit for no. other reason than tne zone system on second class mail matter. In many re spects this is moreiViclous than when it passed the house. We penalize peo ple for having the temerity to live beyond a certain radius. It will cost more to send a magazine to Nebraska than to Siberia." Bill to Be Signed Today A 'strong opponent of the new son? system was Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska, a newspaper publisher, who de clared it certainly would 'ruin many publications . and that others would pass on the tax to: their subscribers If they were to continue.

CHANGE IN LAWS MAKES SUPERVISION NECESSARY Coast Jobbers Able to Reach Farther Inland Under Lower Rates. Washington, Oct. 3. (I. N. S.) The Interstate Commerce commission to day entered an order indefinitely sus pending Its order of June 30 authoriz ing 5 Increases in transcontinental freight rates to take effect October 15. The new order Is made necessary by a recent amendment to the laws regulating commerce providing that tho commission shall grant no blanket increases. Specific schedules have already be'jn filed, however, and will be given consideration, the Increases proposed ranging from 15 to 35 per cen( from the east to both intermoun taln territory and tho Pacific coast Action of the interstate commer.- commission in .suspending indefinite'.y its order of June 30, authorizing in creases in transcontinental freight rates effective October 15, Is a vic tory for Portland and other Pacific coast terminals, according to J. . U Lothrop of the Portland Traffic & Transportation association. - Mr. Lothrop said: "The suspension of the order means that the previous rates, giving Pacific coast terminals the advantage they are Justly entitled to because of water competition, are to remain in force. Under the-order of June 30 coast ter minals were not. allowed a lower rata than Spokane or other inland points. The new amendment to the laws, regu- ating commerce, providing that the commission shall grant no blanket In crease In rates, has brought about tho present ruling of the commission. The argument heretofore presented, name ly, that the withdrawal of tha traffic of the steanrier s oparaUnc. througn the PanantA-canal, .owing tor the demands made by the war, had changed the con ditions, is thus disposed or ror. the time being, at least The ruling of the interstate commerce commission in this instance simply means- that the former rates, giving the advantage to the Pacific coast - terminals, 'are . still in force. Actual benefits' are found, in the advantages afforded coast Jobbers in reaching the trade territory which includes Spokane and other lntermoun tain sections." According to the traffic expert the order means- a restoration of the con ditions which prevailed prior to the order of June 30 which prevented Pa cific coast terminals from en Joy in e a freight rate lower than that applying to the intermountain territory.

An American destroyer has been severely damaged In Kuropean waters in col lision with a British- warship, th navy department announced today. The British ' vessel stood by and took off part of the crew and towed the American to port, where , ska has since been repaired and sent back to active service. - No one on either ship was injured by the accident, which was caused by the destroyer suddenly coming out of a heavy rainstorm which made her invisible'. Accordingly an Inves tigating board exonerated all con cerned from blame. Vessel Nearly Sunk. Washington, Oct. 3. U. P.) It was learned that a dry dock exam ination of the American destroyer in Jured in collision with a British ves sel revealed an Immense hole In her side, two davits carried away, the galley and tunnel broken and the lcremast smashed. Only the fact that the destroyer's watertight compartments were cli sed. prevented her sinking. When the American vessel was towed in her 'entire after part was awash. The British ship with which she collided had her stern badly twisted, but was not - seriously dam aged. The smash was directly due to a pitch dark night and the fact that both vessels, according to regu lations, were proceeding without lights.
