FOR LIBERTY Patriotic Citizens Must Rally If $250,000,000 Allotment Is to Be Met Workers End Week Confident, But Not Enthusiastic Urge Immediate Response Purse strings in Philadelphia will have to be opened wider during the coming week if the ity is to make good its allotment of $250,000,000 of the Liberty Loan. This call is sent out by those committees pressing this patriotic campaign. The local committee ended its week of varied activities confident, but not enthusiastic.

Each member feels the entire allotment will be subscribed "sooner or but there is a prevalent fear a protracted campaign will destroy the moral effect -that a quick subscription would have upon the enemy. The committee believes a prompt response to the government's call would operate as a great strategical victory over Germany. It would demonstrate the willingness of the American people to follow the President. Special efforts are to be made during this weea. to increase the number ot small subscriptions.

Many Philadelphians who have salary or a small bank account have made noble sacrifices to place their money at the disposal of the government, but the committee feels that too few are following their example. At every opportunity the committee reiterates the fact that the campaign is a direct appeal to every man, woman and child in the country. The loan must be a popular one, it points out, or it will have less than half its potential value. The most encouraging report yesterday came from South Bethlehem. It was announced that the Bethlehem Steel Corporation had made $2,000,000 its goal.

J. C. Janney, a member of the Liberty Loan Committee, has just com pleted the organization ot an association through which the employes of the plant may participate in the subscription on convenient installments. Organization Effected An oreanization has been formed with fifteen divisions Each division represents four departments, and is in charge of a captain, the superintendents of departments in the captain's division working with him as a committee. 'The committees appoint ten first lieutenants in each division, and each firs lieutenant appoints ten second lieutenants.

Each of the latter will have a list of not more than thirty names with the numbers, nationality and other facts about each employe. An intensive seven days' campaign will be conducted amonz the plant's 30,000 employes in South Bethlehem. A huge sign, thirtv feet high, will be placed at the gate of the plant with a clock having as its fixed point $2,000,000. There will also be conspicuously displayed the percentage of employes in each department, and the total subscribed, in dollars, each day. by the respective departments.

An honor roll also will be exhibited, giving prominence to each department that reports 00 per cent, of its employes as subscribers. The corporation will buy the bonds and give al! employes fifty weeks in which to pay for them. A meeting of the 3 700 captains and other officers will be held in the Opera House at South Bethlehem tomorrow. Addresses will be made by E. J.

Cattell, Franklin Spencer Edmonds and others. It is expected the same plan will be adopted by the other plants of the Steel Corporation, including those at Steelton, Sparrows Point and other localities, a total of 75,000 emploves. Mr. Jannev is confident the $2,000000 market set for South Bethlehem alone, will be exceeded. Thi has no connection with the corporation's own subscription, which will probably be reported through its New York office.

The committee hopes the elaborate parade and demonstration planned for Tuesday. Registration Day. will stimulate subscriptions. All of the bond salesmen and financiers who have volunteered their services in the campaign will participate. Mavor Smith and E.

T. Stotes-burv will lead the parade. In addition addresses on the Liberty Loan will be made in every theatre of Philadelphia during the present week.

The government will not use gloves in handling those 'evading registration. The fact that a slacker is sent to jail will not lessen his liability to service in the army.

As a nuttier of fact, such a person will not get even the usual consideration. No feature connected with the conscription provisions will be permitted to work in the interest of those failing to respond to the governments call. NOTICE T0 100,00 DRAFT ELIGIDLES WILL BE SENT OUT Indifference Discovered Here Leads to Drastic Preparations i. i i- Safety Committee to Supervise and Jail Is Ready for All the Delinquents Every citizen of Philadelphia eligible for conscription will be notified personally before noon tomorrow that he must present himself on Tuesday, June 5, for registration at his regular polling place. As a last precaution, arrangements were made yesterday after a conference called bv the Unitd States District Attorney Francis Fisher Kane, by which the Pennsylvania Committee of Public Safety will supervise the work.

There must be "slackers' in Philadelphia, those in charge are determined, and consequently the preparedness will be thorough. a "'slacker" wants to defv the law he will not be allowed to plead ignorance. Although the act of Congress does not provide that each eligible citizen must receive personal notification, it is expected that byt noon tomorrow 100,000 'such men will have been directlv informed here. Full co-operation between Federal. nd city officials was agreed upon yesterday at the District Attorney's con ference.

Besides Mr. Kane there were present at the meeting Frederick J. Shoyer, chairman of the Philadelphia Registration Commission; General Avery D. Andrews, U. S.

director of the department of military service of the Pennsylvania Committee of Public Safety; United States Commissioner Long and Frank L. Garbarino, chief agent here for the Department of Justice. Immediately afterwards an announcement was made by the Committee of Safety, with one from Mr. Kane. The District Attorney 6 warning will be sent broadcast.

It was agreed at the meeting that the committee should conduct the publicity 'campaign for the government for registration day. Many Are Indifferent While details of the meeting were not made public, it was said by a person in close touch with those present that some of the disclosures were surprising. One of the most difficult things to combat in connection with the registration, according to this informant, was a certain indifference on the part of many eli- gibles. "They do not seem to realize the seriousness of the punishment for slackers." he said. "Apparently some eli-gibles regard the prison penalty as a joke and a threat that will not be enforced.

They will find otherwise if they fail to register." Mr. Kane's statement follows: "Warning! "The law punishes with imprisonment any willful failure to register on June 5. The Act leaves no discretion whatever to the man between 21 and 30 inclusive. He must register or submit to imprisonment. "The law also punishes all who aid or abet the man who fails to register and who conspire in any way to bring this about.

"The Department of Justice, through a thousand regular and volunteer agents in this district, will be on the alert to discover violations of the law and secure the arrest of offenders. Federal Grand Jury will be in session in this city and cases will be vigorously prosecuted. Police Have Instructions "Complaints should be taken before the nearest magistrate or justice of the peace, or communicated directly to Frank L.

"The Committee of Public Safety with its various sub-committees throughout the State, will also be active in securing an enforcement of the law.

Remember the law punishes a willful failure to register. If a man knows of the law it will be of no excuse later if he has chosen to disregard it "Persons desirous of enforcing the law are asked to bnng it to the attention of any and all individuals like- Continued on 4th Page. 2d Col. Sp Deculation in Necessi ties of Life Drastically Restricted Price-Fixing and Control Legislation Come Up Next for Consideration By Associated Frees. WASHINGTON.

D. June 2. The first of the administration food bills, already passed by the House, passed the Senate late today -without a record vote. Numerous amendments -were attached to the measure, which provides for a food survey and crop stimulation, and it was gent to conference, -where the differences -will be thrashed out while the two houses are considering the second administration measure, providing for food control and price fixing. The bill as finally accepted by the Senate provides for a comprehensive survey of food resources and for the stimulation of agriculture, and restricts drastically the storing of foodstuffs, fuel and other necessities and speculation in futures.

The restrictive provisions were added by the Senate. The bill carries a total appropriation of approximately compared with $14,770,000 as it passed the House. Hoarding of Necessities Hoarding or storage of food, fuel or other necessaries of life in order to limit the supply or affect prices would be made a felony under the Senate hoarding amendment, but farmers who hold their own products would be excepted. The amendment 'restricting future trading, written by Senator Nelson and voted into the bill, 37 to 17, just before passage, provides: at any time during the pendency of the existing war between the United Stite? and the German Empire the President of the United States shall find that dealings in futures in or about anv "grain exchange unduly or unreasonably raise or enhance the price of wheat or other food cereals, to the injury of the people of the United States, lie may at once request the traders in such exchange to discontinue for a time specified by him all dealings- in futures. "In case such request of the President, is not promptly complied witn, then he is hereby empowered to order such dealings in futures, as last aforesaid, to be entirely suspended and discontinued for such limited time as he mav direct, and if such order is not promptly complied with.

may by proclamation declare such exchange closed, and thereafter it shall be unlawful to utiUze or permit to be utilized such building or room as p. grain exchange or for any person being a trader in grain on such exchange to engage in the business theretofore conducted on or at such closed exchanze. Vny person violating any of the pro visions ot this act snail be punished by a fine or not less than or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or oy notn sucn nne ana imprison ment Curtail Questioning Power TlTe Senate also voted to curtail the inquisitorial power given the Secretarv of Agriculture in the investigation of food resources. The House bill would compel the attendance of witnesses and the submission ot books and other records under heavy penalty. The Senate Agriculture Committee amended the provision so a to give the Secretary general authorization to investigate the tood situation, making it.

the "duty of any "person when requested by the Secretary to answer all questions necessary to carry into effect the provisions of this section." The House appropriation of pay for the survey was accepted un-cha nged. The section authorizing the government to sell seeds to the farmers also was amended so as to provide that sales be made for cash only. The power to compel persons having seeds at their disposal to furnish them to the government was greatly curtailed and the appropriation carried for the work was reduced from to $2,500,000. The House appropriation for eradication of live stock diseases was eliminated, and an appropriation of SSSO.0O0 was added to stimulate live stock production. Transportation of Food The pdministration bill empowering the President to icquire priority of transportation tor fod and other war necessities was debated briefly by the Senate today jmd ziven preferred position for passage hext week In presenting the measure Chairman Xewlands, of the Interstate Commerce Committee, said it had been agreed to amend it in accord with requests of the railroad brotherhools so as to provide that nothing in the measure shall affect provisions of the Clayton Anti-trust act giving labor unions the right to strike.

Senator Mollis insisted on the change on behalf of the brotherhoods. Resides providing for preferential treatment of shipments of necessities, the measure would penalize heavilv obstruction of interstate commerce. The railroads would be required to maintain in Washington during the war a joint committee of officers to carry out orders of the President in regulating transportation.

communicate J. Myers, 83 BtH Camden, Account Spettal to The Inquirer. INQUIRER BUREAU, POST WASHINGTON, D. June 2 That there will be no soft handling by Ite government of slackers who evada registration was the warning contained in a. statement issued by Attorney General Gregory today.

In his statement the Attorney General called attention to the fact that jail sentence "will provide, no means of escape from subsequent army service for "those who fail to register. The statement reads: "It has come to the notice of the Department of Justice that certain. disloyal citizens, who are themselves '-be yond the conscription age, are suggesting to the young men of the country, that it is better to Euffer imprisonment under the terms of the conscription act than to register, with the likelihood of being enlisted and compelled to -serve at the front. "Attention is called to the fact that under Section 5 of this act parties con-" victed on the charge of evading registration are not only punished for the crime committed, but are thereupon duly registered, wih all the liability for military service resulting therefrom." Certainty of Punishment Although Attorney General Gregory had previously expressed his belief -that when the aggregate number of those of enlistment age was" considered it would be found that only a very small percentage would endeavor to evade "the law, the statement issued today indicates the desire of the government to impresa all affected with the certainty of punish ment for failure to comply with itf previsions, as well as the futility of their expectation that they mfiy thus escape army service later. It is pointed out that the sugger4aons advanced hy the opponents of registration are entirely contrary to the conditions that will follow in so far as the latter are expected to work in the interest of.

the elackers. For those who have reasons for thiniss ing that they should fall into the empted classes, it -is shown by the general wording ot the law that their claims, if justified, will most likely lead to their being set aside without any pressure on their part. Should such attempt to evade registrar tion, however, they will not only meet -w-ith punishment for the crime commit ted, but in all probability their action will deprive them of much if not all of the consideration they would have received on other grounds, if they had complied with the requirements of the law. It is known that no feature connected with the conscription provisions of the Army bill will be allowed to work in the interest of any persons who fail to respond to the first application of its re quirements, which will be on registration dav, June o. Xot only has this its application to the anti-conscriptionist advocates not subject to registration, but in practically equal measure to those of whom registration is required.

Will Show No Mercy ne iormer, as nag oeen previously ven wide publicity in official statements the government, are suoiect under the terms of the Federal statutes to heavy fine and extended period of im-' prisonment for coaispiring to prevent the carying out of the law of the country. That such will be dealt with the full extent of the law has been asserted. So determinedly aroused has been the government, moreover, by anti-conscription outbreaks, even though these have mainly been sporadic in nature, that the slacker can only look for the most stringent treatment as a result of his failure to respond in the matter of registration. It is practically assured that he will be given no consideration on account of conditions that might appeal Tinder ordinary circumstances, in connection with the punishment that will be inflicted at once for his criminal dereliction of duty. Beyond that, it is more than probable that, in his enforced service later, he will fare far worse than if he had registered in accordance with the law and been selected for active duty.

In other words, no special qualifica- -t ion which he possesses may be looked to for securing him a special assignment, such as in many cases cary desirable privileges. On the other hand, he will doubtless find that he has lopt every claim to consideration that would have been his if he had registered. In short his subsequent fate will be that of "en- forced service," in a sense that carries Continued on 3d Page, 6th CoL HIS "MAN'S MAN" SHOOTS TWO OF EBY'S FAMILY Colored Attendant Missed Shot at Girl Holds House as Fort- f.prrfal to The Inquirer. -r LANCASTER, June 2.

2. One hundred thousand American soldiers in France by the time the snow flies is the slogan behind intensive training schemes now being devised by the War Department. This contingent of American forces to arrive by winter will be made up of regulars and National Guardsmen. The regulars require small advance preparation for service. The National Guardsmen, already summoned to the colors in three thrrercents.

beginninz July 13, will be put into" shape in the quickest possible time consistent with proper training. This advance army to cross the water before winter sets in is stated by the War Department as the minimum figures to be sent over for actual service by that time. The maximum number will be dependent upon the rapidity with which the men can be trained and the facilities available for transportation. Prepare Pershing's Force Pershing's expeditionary force, consisting of between 25.000 and 30,000 regulars constituting an American division, and which was ordered to proceed to France at the earliest possible date, is fast being put in readiness for departure. This is known, despite the fact that all details as to the personnel of the.

forces and the date and the place of departure is withheld. The other increments to follow this first expedition will be taken from the organizations now being made ready as fast as they can be trained and as they can be spared without breaking up the nucleus for the training of the army to be raised by selective conscription. It is understood that the National Guard organizations will be sent in the order in which they bring themselves to condition for active service.

D. C. June 2. Reports have reached the government from a source described as reliable that Germany is attemptine to get control of the island of Margarita, off the coast of Venezuela, for use as a submarine base. The State Department has forwarded the information to Venezuela for the consideration of Venezuelan officials.

The exact nature of the advices' is withheld, but officials permitted it to become known today that the report had caused some concern here. They indi cated that they had positive confirmation of overtures designed to secure control of the island, but that they were uncertain whether the effort had met with any degree of success. Officials do not believe that the government of Venezuela would be a party to any such alienation of territory, even though temporary. Venezuela is one of the South American governments that have joined in protesting against submarine warfare as conducted by Germany, although her technical position remains one vof neutrality. It has been known by the American Government for weeks, however, that German influences have been actively at work in Venezuela and tht indirect if not direct means have been used by agents of the Kaiser to secure popular and official sympathy.

It is suggested here that Venezuela's accession to the German overtures in the case of Margarita is rendered very unlikely by the fact that enezuelan officials could not fail to realize the seriousness of passage of the island to the control of an enemy of the United States. It is pointed xut that the cession even though temporary, would be a clear violation of the Monroe Doctrine and would undoubtedly cill for energetic and prompt opposition by this government. Margarita is off the northern coast of Venezuela, near the southeastern coi ner of the Caribbean Sea and within striking distance of the Panama Canal. It is about '500 miles from Culebra and 1000 from Colon. Its adjacent waters, including the Gulf of Cariaco, would make it admirably adapted as a naval base.
