MAYOR STAYS SILENT AS TO APPOINTMENTS WA8HINOTON. ,Dec. 4 Retire ment of liberty bonds by the treasury haa begun. Thin was revealed today In the annual report of the treasury department for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1918. A total of 1260,000.000 of the first. second and third bond Issues have been bought back by the treasury on Nov. 1. Thla does not represent Ulle five per cent of each Jmtft which under the liberty loan ant the treas ury la permitted to buy back each year. It waa Indicated that after thin year the full five per cent of each Issue would be retired. This will eliminate the piling upttf a great Kinking fund. reduce the Interest payment Tinnual ly and permit of retirement of all bond on their maturity date, 20 years hence. , 1'rgea War Saving Continue. Secretary McAdoo estimates that In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1819, public debt redemption will aggre gate 1685.000,000. The grand total of expenditures for the year la estl mated at 127.718.128.000. which la ap proximately 17.000,000.000 more than the eatlmated total receipts. The re cent treasury announcement of a ttfth war loan therefore, wan accept ed to mean that the next loan, sched uled for early In April, 1819, would toe for IS, 000,000,000. This belief waa baaed on calculations of further reduction In expenditures, officials said. In the report, the secretary strong ly urges a continuation of the .war savings campaign as a peace time measure of thrift. He estimates that the 1919 aeries of savings stamps wl)n cnncurre,10e by anouia oring im iw , government tho 0fficeg f f,.e more than l,260.oooo.ooi, or ss per cent more than during the, last year, iilyrrrine Process Reported. Discovery and development of a process of producing glycerine syn thetically by fermentation of sugar Is disclosed by the report. The dis covery was made by chemists attach ed to the bureau of Internal revenue and afforded the nssurance that dur ing the latter part of the war there would not be a shortage of glycerine aupply for munitions manufacture.. . The financial transformation from peace to war was accomplished, Mc Adoo declared, without "shock or fi nancial disturbance of any kind." The credit and business structure of the nation remains sound and strong. In this connection the report points out that: , "It must not be regarded that en tire amounts expended during 1 9 1 T and 191 hnve been permanently ab S knrbed.- A large per cent represents productive Investment It will re quire several months to give an ac curate estimate of capital outlays, sal vage and expenditures of a perma nent character during the war." Cash Outgo Continues. . Aa to future expenditures the re . port says there Is no hint of Immedi ate dlmunltlon In the cash out-go from the treasury.
