Liberty Loan Drive Speeds at Rate of $100,000,000 a Day
Oregon Runs Dead Heat With
lowa for the Honor of Being
First no List,
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 13.—8ub~
scriptions to the Third Liberty Loan
are keeping to the pace set out for
thgm at the beginning of the cam
paign.
This was evidenced today when re
ports from eleven of the twelve Fed
eral Reserve districts showed that ac
tual reported subscriptions up to Fri
day night totaled $539,426,100. This
includes only the actual subseriptions
which have been reported through the
Federal Reserve Banks and upon
which the initial payments have been
made. It was pointed out that there
are millions in pledges still to be
heard from, together with the report
of the Mirineapolis district.
With the ca.mpa‘;n one-fourth over
and more than one-sixth of the mini
mum known to be actually subscribed
in eleven districts, Treasury officials
today were highly optimistic as to the
final outcome. It was pointed out
that the closing hours of past cam
paigns have been the big ones and
that neither of the preceding two had
received so auspicious a start.
Loan Is Speeding Along.
The loan drive is speeding along at
$1000,000,000 a day, which is just the
bace required to reach the national
quota of $3,000,000,000, but the cam
raign will have to exceed its present
record if the goal of $5,000,000,000 is
reached by May 4.
The increase of $175,000,000 in bond
sales noted in the official report is the
approximate daily sales needed to
oversubscribe to Secretary McAdoo's
appeal for a record issue of $5,000,-
000,000. Basing the ratio of increese
on former Treasury statements, the
unofficial national total stands today
at more than $600,000,000,
Loan directors have decided to omit
the Minneapolis distriet until the
subscriptions reach a normal amount.
The selling campaign for the district
begins on Monday, and Minneapolis’
position is negligible just now, though
it will probably swing into the list
with several millions to start. The
district. includes the State of Minne
sota, part of Wiscansin and the States
of North and South Dakota and Mon
tana.
Oregon Claims Honor.
The State of Oregon is running a
dead heat with lowa for the nonors
of being the first in the list of States
to reach the full quota. Treasury
officials announced that Oregon had
won first place and would be the first
to be inscribed on the national honor
flag flying on the Treasury Building.
Shortly after Oregon was notified the
Chicago Federal Reserve district
claimed first honors for lowa. The
cfficial totals for the State were not
sent to the Liberty Loan headquar
ters, despite Chicago’'s claim that Towa
had subscribed its quota prior to Ore
gon.
Neither of the States has completed
the quotas of their counties. REight
cen counties of Oregon’s 34 have been
subscribed, and 74 of Towa's 99 coun
ties have been completed.
Oregon is not only competing early
for the State honors, but the city of
Portland is claiming first honors for
municipalities of its class, and Treas
ury officials will have to decide
whether the Western city or Toledo,
Ohio, will have won.
* The Liberty lLoan headquarters has
called for another report from the
Federal Reserve districts and they
have announced that later figures will
be given out today.
The 30,009 honor flags are finding a
ready market among the smaller com
munities and the Treasury is notified
of scores of awards made in all dis
tricts.
Farmers Given Chance.
The sales “of bonds in the rural
communities was given a 4 tremendous |
impetus today when the campaign
was pushed into the farms and vil-‘
lages, following the nation-wide cele- |
bration in 100,000 schoolhouses last
night. |
It was pointed oyt that the large
increase noted in the latest Treasury |
figures was due partly to the entrance
of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve
district into the list with more than
$31,000,000 and the increase of Cleve- }
land’s total by approximately $33,000,-
000. The figures represent the amounts
from the banks and trust companies
Only a part of the subscriptions have i
been sent to the Federal Reserve
Banks in actual binding form, though
they represent the telegrams sent on ‘
the strength of 5 per cent initial de
posits.

All obstructions on the sidewalks

approves a resolution which will be
presented with the indorsement of
the street and tax committees. ’l‘hel
resolution originated in the tax com
mittee and was aimed primarily at
beggars, but was extended to include;
stairways, railings, signs, elevators,
permanent stands and all other pro‘l

The law will work a tomporary'

Thirty-eight Men From U-58,
Captured Several Months Ago,
Coming to America.
(By international News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 13.—Practi
cally an entire German U-boat crew
will be heid here in the United States
as prisoners of war. They will land
at an American port in the very near
future and will be sent to a detention
camp ag prisoners of war, there to
stay until the war ends.
The crew is that from the German
U-58, captured by the destroyers Fan
ning and Nicholson several months
ago and which was sunk after cap
ture by the oflicers opening the sea
cocks of the craft. The personnel of
the party, it was learned today, com
prise four commissioned officers, one
warrant officer and 33 enlisted men.
Bringing these men to this country
is accepted here as indicating that the
rolicy of -the United States wiil be to
retain charge of all German prisoners
of war. Those taken by the army on
the western front probably will be
returned to the United States on the
empty troops transports, thus solving
the question of supplying them with
food. It will be very much easier to
feed them here than on the other side,
now that the food shortage in France,
Italy and Great Britain necessitates
this country sending practically all
food across the Atlantic.
The crew of the U-58 was the first
big capture of German prisoners by
the navy. The Fanning and Nichol
son were escorting a freight convoy
when the underseas craft was spied.
The Fanning rushed at top speed to
the spot where the submarine had
disappeared and dropped a depth
charge. It exploded and forced the
U-58 to come to the surface. The
crew lined up with hands uplifted in
token of surrender. However, before
all could be taken off the craft sank
as the result of one of the officers
treacherously opening the seacocks
after the surrender.

Longs for Buttermilk
Sergeant Lonnie L. Stone, son of
Mr. and Mrs. L. Stone, of No. 25
Pickert street, in a letter to his moth
er from ‘“somewhere in France,”
where he is with the American expe
ditionary forces, bemoans the lack of
vegetables and buttermilk ‘“over

Rainbow Division.
“I miss the vegetable meals over
here, and I haven't had agy good old
buttermilk since I left home,” he says.
“But that's all right, we're sure to
win this war. In the meantime, we
are cooking dandelicns that grow
everywhere and they are good, too.”
Young Stone is a nephew of Police
Sergeant A. D. Luck. His father is
a guard at the Federal prison.

Arkwright Praises Camp Gordon
~ Line Service and Says Fare
| Is Too Low.
‘ Preston S. Arkwright, president of
‘ the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany, Friday afternoon appeared be
‘fore a special committee of Council
[and denied that the present street car
'service to Camp Gordon is inadequate
‘or that the company ever promised to
construct a double track. However,
Mr. Arkwright proposed that the mat
ter be laid before the Georgia Rail
way Commission and agreed to abide
by the decision of that body.
Mr. Arkwright detailed the Camp
Gordon situation from the standpoint
of the power company. He claimed
that the company had not obligatea
itself to put in a double track, and
that the only suggestion of such a
plan was made to the public safety
committee of the Chambser of Com
merce, which, he said, is not insisting
upon the double track now. At that
time both the Chamber of Commerce
and the power company were ignor
ant of just what the camp traffic
would be.
Although admitting that there had
been some delay in transportation
prior to March 12, Mr. Arkwright
contended that the service now ren
dered is ample, except on Saturday
afternoon, when leaves granted the
soldiers bring about an abnormal con
dition. He claimed that a long
switch and an additional power sta
tion would serve just as well as a
double track, and be much less ex
rensive in construction and operation.
As far as camp laborers are con
cerned, Mr. Arkwright stated that
they had been offered free transporta
tion over the Southern Railway’s
shuttle trains, but preferred to pay
15 cents to use the street cars, so the
shuttles were discontinued.
In response to question by the com
mitteemen, Mr. Arkwright stated that
the Camn Gordon line is the most ex
pensive the company maintains, and
the extra expense incurred has ex
ceeded the gross income from its op
eration.
The committee formulated no re
port, but will hold another meeting
next week, precbably asking the pub
lic to appear. Committee members
aré Aldermen John S. MecClelland,
Steve R. Johnston, Nelson T. Spratt
Jonas H. Ewing and Councilman Ed
T. Mincey. Company officials accom
parying Mr. Arkwright were H. M
Atkinson, vice president; W H Glenn,
vice president and operating manager;
J. A. Robinson, division superintend
ent in charge of the Camp Gordon
line; S. E Simmons, superintendent of
transportation, and W. R. Collier,
sales manager,

A _Clean Newspaper for Southern Homes
! Captain K. Ten Eyck Harrington
‘and her eight members of the motor
corps of the National League for
'Woman’s Service who brought nine
motor trucks from Lansing, Mich., to
|‘Atlanta, were being congratulated
ISaturday, not only by women friends,
but by expert motorists who know
the difficulties of such a trip through
the mud.
The nine trucks, laden with Gov
ernment supplies from depots at Cin
cinnati and Louisville, were installed
safely in the Reo branch Friday aft
e€rnoon, and their drivers hurried
ihome to remove the marks of travel
from their uniforms. _They had trav
eled eight days, through mud and
over mountains, and had not asked
the help of any man in adjusting the
mechanism or changing a punctured
tire. ¥loods in the Tennessee River
valley had made a long detour over
the Cumberland Mountains necessary,
but the women took this as part of
the day’s work.

' ' '
Users Express Dissatisfaction
' P
With 11-Candlepower Mini
i
mum of Commission.
Patrons of the Atlanta (Gas Light
Company are not entirely satisfied
with the order of the Georgia Raill
road Commission that the gas supply
be maintainéd at a monthly average
of 13 candlepower and a minimum of
11, according to Cecil P. Poole, city
mechanical e¢ngineer. Mri. Poole has
received several letters asking for a
higher candlepower requirement.
Although an average of 13 candle
power is not high, it is fully 30 per
cent better than the supply has been
in recent weeks, according to Mr.
Poole, and ig satisfactory under war
time conditions. However, this stand
ard is not high enough for permanent
requirements,
Mr. Poole has addressed the follow
ing ietter to The Atlanta Georgian:
“Some misapprehension seems to
have been caused by my recent rec
ommendation to the Railroad Com
mission regarding a standard illumi
nating value for the gas supplied by
the Atlanta Gas Light Company.
Please allow me to explain, there
lfnru, that the recommendation was
based on existing (war-time) condi
tions only; there was, of course, not
the least intention of suggesting 13
candlepower ag a permanent stand
ard, or 11, as a permanent minimum,
“As conditions stand now, a month
ly average of 13 candlepower will be
about a 30 per cent improvement.
The average for the gas furnished
from April 1 to date is 10.8 candle
power.”
