PRESIDENT SIGNS
- THIRD LOAN BILL
Washington, April 4.-The legisla-
tive foundation for the third Liberty
Loan was laid tonight when Congress
completed, and President Wilson sign-
ed the bill, authorizing the issuance
of additional bonds at four and one-
quarter per cent.
Earlier in the day the treasury an-
nounced that the bonds would ma-
ture in 10 years, that the loan cam-
paign opening Saturday - would con-
tinue four weeks until May 4, and that
after the initial payment of five per
cent on subscription, installments of
20, 25, and 40 per cent would be due
respectively on May 28, July 18, and
August 15. The amount of $3,000,000,-
000, and over subscriptions, and the
only remaining details to be deter-
mined by the treasury, are the ar-
rangements for the conversion of
bonds of the first and second loans
into third Liberty bonds.
Within an hour after President
Wilson signed the bond bill, the first
completed bond of the third Liberty
Loan came from the press of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing. Forty
thousand more bonds will be ready in
the morning, 100,000 by Saturday and
thereafter, they will be turned out at
the rate of 500,000 a day to supply
demands for cash sales and immediate
delivery.

Because the performance of "Miss

'return from vacation, April 19, it has
not been thought advisable by the
Comedy club to entirely cancel rehear-
sals, and they will be continued
through vacation. The production is
now approaching professional smooth-
ness, and Warren H. Townsend, stage
director, is confident it will be at-
tained by the day of presentation.
; The business staff under direction
f Walter H. Reiss, '20, is preparing,
to proceed with its work, and the per-
sonnel of the committees in charge of
the different divisions will be an-
nounced immediately after the return
from vacation. They will then start
in immediately to carry out their part'
bf the program.

erary vice-president of the Union, at
a meeting of the board of directors,
held yesterday. Horne succeeds Carl
Neumann, ex-'18, now in the naval

The board also accepted a new con-
stitution for the Mimes. By means of

ed whereby the Mimes acts as an ad-
visory body to the board in
all matters pertaining to the
policy of the Union opera.
The board, by agreement with the
Mimes, is not to take any action as
to the policy of the opera until it has
accepted for consideration the opin-
ion of the Mimes, as expressed by a

ITALY REGARDS UZERNIN'S
SPEECH AS HUN PEACE BAIT
Washington, April 4.-Italy, like the
other Allies, regards the recent speech
of Count Czernin, the Austro-Hun-
garian minister, as merely another
phase of the Teutonic peace offensive.
An official dispatch from Rome to-
day says:
"The Italian press finds that the
Austrian premier's acceptance of the
four fundamental points of President
Wilson's second message is flatly con-
tradicted by the very recent actions
of Austria. In fact, a tremendous

concentration of forces is being made
against Italy, and Count Czernin de-
clared in his speech that the French
and Italian aspirations are 'foolish
utopia.'"

509 TUEN ECRUITS,
CIIARLES F. LAMBERT RETURNS
TO ENLIST MORE
MEN
Probably 50 more students will be
recruited for the United States naval
reserves before the end of the present
semester, according to Charles F.
Lambert, ex-'19.
"There is an exceptional opportun-
ity for men in this department," stat-
ed Lambert last night, who returned
yesterday afternoon from Detroit for
the purpose of enlisting several stu-
dents. "The patrol commandant at
Detroit wants a few men, preferably
senior engineers, to join before Sat-
urday.
Only men of exceptional qualifica-
tions, both physical and mental, are
desired. No promise is made regard-
ing promotions, which depend entire-
ly upon the individual. The training
in the R. O. T. C. gives students the
necessary qualifications to advance
quickly in the, naval reserves."
All men desiring to join by Satur-
day must see Charles F. Lambert, or
call 131, before 10 o'clock this morn-
ing. Students seriously thinking of
enlisting before the end of the sem-
ester, can obtain all details from Rob-
ert F. Grindley, '21E, by telephoning
131.
.corm Club 1/or
Girls in Service
Many girls from Michigan are en-
tering the service of the government
in Washington. To prevent the lone-
liness which will probably come to
many of these girls, the wives of sen-
ators and representatives in Congress
have organized what is known as the
Congressional club.
Each state has a delegate in this
club, and it is their desire to get into
friendly touch with young women
newly arrived in Washington. To as-,
sivt them in this work, girls who are
entering war-service work there, or
their parents or friends, are invited to
communicate with the Congressional
club, 2001 New Hampshire Ave.,
