Secretary ! McAdoo announced tonignt tliat no 1 part of the great over-subscription to. the Liberty loan would be accepted,; ' and that his statement of May 10 In which he declared that the issue would be limited to $2,000,000,0001 stood good now as then. j Mr. Mc Moo's announcement will ; result in paring down hundreds of the ] larger subscriptions until the totai I reoehes the $2,000,000,0oo ::m:t. How j ;! much will have to be pared down ( ; from the amount tne country offered i to take was still an unknown quanti-j I; ty tonight. The oversubscription win1 [; not fall, it seemed certain, below j . i $700,000,000 and may go as high as (j $900,000,000. ! i The grand total of subscriptions re-' I ceived at reserve banks up to noon; ;; Friday, the closing hour, will not be, -c?ot fho parliftst.!

I shall wnji myself of the right to allot in full upon application for smaller amounts as such actions will be clear-j Iy in the public interest." Campaign of Edneation. "The Liberty Loan campaign," he! said, "was essentially one or educa-j tion and without the generous and patriotic support of the press of the) nation the hope of those in charge! that it would be a popular loan would, not have been realized. "At a time when news space was at,' a premium the Liberty loan was rea-j tnred at length. The feoreign lan guage press in 36 languages gave daily proof of the undounted loyalty of peoples of foreign birth.

We two peoples i ?Russia fighting tyranny and .Amer ica standing as the oldest democracy ?hand in hand will show the way of happiness to nations great and small.'* These ringing words, expressing the attitude of the Russian government towards America and the American mission headed by Elihu Root, were voiced toisight by M.

Child of American Revolution. M. Tereschtenko rose rrom a sick bed to attend the presentation and responded without notes, expressing great joy in welcoming the commis sion from America. He said that Rus sia's revolution was based on the wonderful words uttered v>y America in 1776. He read part of the Decla ration of IiWenpednce anu exclaimed "Russia holds with the united states that all men are created free and equal." M. Tereshtenko sketched the Rus sian revolution briefly, saying Uiatthe Russians, enslaved for centuries, threw off all the old order Just as the wind blows autumn leaves from the forest. Russia now faces two prob lems. said the minister, the necessity of creating a strong democratic force within its boundaries and the fight ing of an external foe. Then he de clared for war and expressed un bounded confidence in the power of Russia to meet the situation. Mr. Root spoke in part as follows:. "Mr. President and Members of the Council of Ministers: The mission for which I have the honor to speak Is charged by the government and peo ple of the United States of America with a message to the government and people of Russia. The mission comes from a democratic repuonc. its members are commissioner ami in structed by a president who holds iT?s high office as chief executive of more than 100.00n.nO0 free people by vir of popular election, in which more than 13,000,000 votes were feely east, and fairly counted pursuant to law. by universal, equal, direct and secret suffrage.

" 'The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure, long as it had stood and terrible as was the reality or its power, was not m fact Russian in origin, character or purpose, and now it has been shaken off and the great generous Russian people have been added in all their native majesty and might to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the world, for justice and foT peace.

HOOYEB WILL BEGIN FOOD CAMPAIGN NOW 1 | Will Not iWait for Legislation to Start j Effort for Conservation?Must En list" Women in Great Movement, j I ! ! Washington. June 16.?Congress' de ! lay in passing the administration's ! food bills drew from President Wilson ! today an order directing Herbert C. j Hoover to proceed immediately with organization of the food administra-1 tion in so far as it contemplates r.x)J> conservation and elimination of waste through the cooperation of volunteer; forces. Plans for enlisting every housewife in the country as a volunteer member or tne tood administration nave Deen announced by Mr. Hoover. Every wo man will be taught to save food in the kitchen and how to purchase for ner family. President Wilson's insistence that. the focrl bills be speeded up caused tne senate today to put the food con trol bill next on the calendar and tne measure will be taken up Monday, when the house also begins d'#ate on ': the bill. The measure was reported; to the senate today without recom-! mendations. The president'^ potter to. Mr. Hoover follows: Can Begin Now. 1 "It seems to me that the inaugura- j tion of that portion of the plan for, food administration which concern- j plates a national mobilization of the. great voluntary forces of the country; which are erady to worx toward sav-, ing food and eliminating waste ad mits of no further delay. "The approaching harvest, the im mediate necessity for wise use and saving, not only in food but in all j other expenditure, the many undi rected and overlapping efforts being made towards this end, a!I press for national direction and inspiration, j While it would in many ways be de sirable to wait complete legislation es- i tablishing food administration, It ap- j pears to me so far as voluntary effort' can be assembled we should not wait j any longer and therefore I will he very; glad if you would proceed in those di-; rections at once. Women Would Help. "The women of the nation are al-j ready earnestly seeking to do their t part in this our greatest struggle for] the maintenance of our national ideals j and in no direction can they so great-! ly assist as by enlisting in the ser-! vice of the food administration and cheerfully accepting its direction ana : advice. By so doing tney will in-! crease the surplus of food available i for^our own army ami for export to' the" allies. To provide adequate sup-j plies for the coming year is of ab-1 solutely vital importance to the con- i duct of the war, and without a very i conscientious elimination of waste and ' very strict economy in our food -con-j sumption, we can not hope to fulfill! this primary duty. fl' "I trust, therefore, th^Lt^the women of the country will noV tf&ly Tespbnd to your appeal and accept the pieGge of the food administration which you are proposing but that all men also who are engaged in the personal dis tribution of foods will cooperate with fho coma oorneetnosQ ?r? thf* spirit. I give you full authority to undertake any steps necessary for the ? proper organization and stimulation j Of their efforts." Death of 3fr. B, L. Crooks.
