THOUSANDS FIGHTING MEN APPLY FOR HOMESTEADS SECRETARY LA%"E WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO "SEE THEM THROUGH" TO SUCCESS. Washington, May S.—With appli-cations already received from mare than 40.000 soldiers and sailors who desire to take up homesteads when discharged from military service. Secretary Lane and bis advisers are revising the program originally pre-sented in Congress to take care of the increased demands. It was said to-day that the first estimate of $100,000,000 for estab-lishing discharged service men ou "slacker" lands probably would have to be made several times that number, perhaps $400,000,000. Secretary Lane's plan would not merely start a man as a farmer or cattle producer, but would "see him drastic conditions laid down.

Secretary Lane and bis advisers are revising the program originally pre-sented in Congress to take care of the increased demands. It was said to-day that the first estimate of $100,000,000 for estab-lishing discharged service men ou "slacker" lands probably would have to be made several times that number, perhaps $400,000,000. Secretary Lane's plan would not merely start a man as a farmer or cattle producer, but would "see him drastic conditions laid down.

Washington. May 10.—The fifth and last popular loan ot the United States has been oversubscribed. Al-though the approximate total sub-scriptions will not be known for nearly two weeks, figures available tonight showed that the American people had responded generously to the appeal to "finish the job." Like all of its predecessors, the victory liberty loan suddenly jump-ed on the last day of the campaign above the mark set as its limit.
