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 Servi
WASHINGTON, April sl§l°§'3b
scriptions to the Third Liberty Loan
are keeping to the pace set out for
them 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 heen reported through the
Federal Reserve Banks and upon
which the initial pPayments have been
made. It was pointed out that there
are millions in pledges still to be
heard from, together with the report
of the Minneapolis district.
With the campaign 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
tha.t_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
pace required to reach the national
quota of $3,000,000,000, but the cam
paign 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 increase
on former Treasury statements, the
unofficial national total stands today
at more than $600,000,000,
Loan directors have decided to omit
the Minneapolis district until the
subscriptions reach a nermal 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 inclndes the State of Minne
sota, part o Wiscansin and the States
of North South Dakota and Mon
tana.
Oregon Claims Honor,
The State of Oregon is running a
dead heat with lowa for the honors
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 lewa. The
cfficial totals for the State were not
sent to the Liberty Loan headquar
ters, despite Chicago’s claim that low
had subscribed its quota prior to Or
gon.
Neither of the States has completed
the quotas of their counties. Eight
een counties of Oregon’s 34 have been
subscribed, and 74 of Jowa'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 Loan headquarters has
called for another report from the
Federal Reserve districts and they
have announced that later figures will
be given out today.
The 30,000 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 tremendous
impetug today when the campaign
was pushed into the farms and vil
lages, following the mation-wide cele
bration in 100,000 schoolhouses last
night.
It was pointed out 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
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.

Likely To Be Stopped
All obstructions on the sidewalks
and streets of Atlanta must be re
moved, if Council Monday afternoon
approves a resolution which will be
presented with the indorsement of
the street and tax committees. The
resolution originated in th(\_ tax com
mittee and was aimed primarily at
beggars, but was extended to include
stairways, railings, signs, elevators,
permanent stands and all other pro
jections impeding traffic.
The law will work a temporary
hardship upon basement establish

ways as entrances, but Council is ex
pected to pass the regulation.

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 held 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
-58, captured by the destroyers Fan
ing and Nicholson several months
ago and which w#&s sunk after eap
ture by the officers 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
roliey of the United States will be to
retain charge of all German prisoners
of war. Those taken by the army on
the western front probably wiil 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 ali
food across the Atlantic.
The crew of the U-58 was the first
big captyre 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 1.. Stone, son of
Mr. and Mrs. L. Stone, of No. 2§
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
vegzetables and buttermilk ‘“over
there.” He is with the quartermas
ter corps and went over with the
Rainbow Division.
“lI miss the vegetable meals over
here, and 1 haven’t had agy good old
buttermilk since 1 left homg,” he says.
“But that's all right, we're sure to
win this war. In the meantime, we
are cooking dandelions 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.
Auto Smashed and
.
Chauffeur Injured
Michael L. Lettrell, chauffeur for
H. W. Edmondson, No. 270 Whitehall
street, was slightly injured and Mr.
Edmondson's automobile practically
ruined when it collided with a tele
phone pole on Peachtree road, near
Seventeenth street, Saturday morning
at 1 o'clock.
Lettrell was driving to the city
from Camp Gordon when the accident
occurred. He stated that he felt
something give way on the right side
and that he swerved sharply to the
left, the automobile crashing into the
post.
The driver received a sprained
wrist, but was not hurt otherwise,
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 obligated
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 Chamber 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
goldiers 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
pensive 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, prohably asking the pub
lic to appear. Committee members
are Aldermen John S. McClelland,
Steve R. Johnston, Nelsonh 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,
gales 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
Saturday, not only by women friends,
but by expert motorists who know
the difficulties of such a ¢gip 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
ernoon, and their drivers hurried
home 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. Fleods 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.
Governor Dorsey, who commis
sioned the officers of the motor corps,
spoke highly Saturday of their work,
congratulating them upon their dem
onstration of woman's ability to hold
down a man’s job.
In the party were Captain Harring
ton, Lieutenant Courtney Billups,
Privates B. Barcroft, E. Martin, R. L.
Mayer, N. Neal, of Atlanta; Mrs. E.
L. Dillingham and Mrs. A. G. Picks
lay, of New York, and Mrs. Alice
Smith, of Detroit.
Emergency Fund of
$7,000 Presented to
E it it
mory Hospital Uni
The presentation of the
emergency fund, contributed
through voluntary subscriptions
by Atlanta friends to the Emory
Hospital Unit, was the inspiration
for an interesting social affair at
the Piedmont Driving Club Fri
cay night, when $7,000 was pre
sented in the presence of the offi
cers, nurses and 150 privates of
the unit.
The affair was staged under the
auspices of the Atlanta Chapter
of the American Red Cross,
which was instrumental in getting
the emergency fund under way.
The presentation speech was
made by Judge Walter Colquitt,
and the fund was accepted with
a few happy remarks by Lieuten
ant Colonel Marietta, U. S, A., in
command of the unit,
Following an elaborate dinner,
dancing was enjoved. The suc
cess of the affair was due in a
great measure to Mrs. Preston
Arkwright, Mrs. Frederick Hodg
son and Lee Ashcraft, who com
posed the entertainment commit
tee.
Defense Board Calls

The general medical board of the
Council of National Defense has
called off its visit to Atlanta next
Tuesday, and the Chamber of Com
merce has recalled invitations to a

day evening in honor of the delega
tion.
Telegrams were received from Dr.
Franklin Martin, chairman of the
medical advisory board, and Dr. W. C.
Corgas, surgeon general, announcing
that the visit had been ealled off on
account of military necessities and
increasing pressure of business.

Sensational Crash in Futures of
More Than One Hundred
Points Causes Slump.
Cotton continued its sensational
down swing Saturday, as a result of
unsatisfactory war news, rains in
Texas and reports of weakening spots
in the South, together with bearish
consumption figures for March.
Immediately after opening at a net
less of 3 to 79 points, the market in
New York crumbled to a net loss of
77 to 113 points, representing a break
of 167 to 230 pointsJsß.3s to $11.50 a
bale—from the high levels of Friday
before the end of the first twenty
minutes of trading.
At the low point—3o.6s for May—
the market exhibited a loss of 235
points, or $18.25 a bale from last
Thursday’s high record.
The New Orleans market suffered a
loss of 83 to 92 points, with May fall
ing to 29.92, July 29 cents, October
2766 and December 27.30.
New York dropped to 30.65, July
30.28, October 28.79, December 28.45,
January 25.45 and March 28.10.
New York reported Wall Street and
the South the heaviest sellers, with
demand light.
As a result of the big slump in fu
tures, Atlanta spot cotton broke 1
cent a pound to 34 cents.

Chief of Detective
Lanford Will Retire
Newport A. Lanford, chief of de
tectives, has tendered his resignation
to the Board of Police Commissioners,
to take effect when his request to be
retired on a pension is passed upon
by the Mayor and Council. The ac

The resignation of Chief Lanford
follows charges of inefficiency in the
detective office made to the special
committee, appointed by the board to
probe the department. There were no
charges of misconduct on the part of
the veteran detective chief, but he
was held responsible for the acts of
some of his subordinates. The probe
committee decided to reerganize the
department, and offered Chief Lan

Users Express Dissatisfaction
' 450
With 11-Candlepower Mini
mum of Commission.
Patrong of the Atlanta Gas Light
Company are not entirely satisfied
with the order of the Georgia Rai
road Commission that the gas supply
be maintained at a monthly average
of 13 candlepower and a minimum of
11, according to Cecil P. Poole, city
mechanical engineer. Mr. Poole has
received several letters asking for
higher candlepower requirement.
Although an average of 13 candle
power is not high, it 1s fully 3¢ per
cent better than the supply has been
in recent weeks, according to Mr.
Poole, and g satisfactory under war
time conditions. However, this stand
ard is not high enough for permanent
requirements,
Mr. Poole hag addressed the follow
ing Jetter to The Atlanta Georgian:
“Some misapprehension seems to
have been caused by my recent rec
ommendation to the Railread Com
mission regarding a standard illumi
nating value for the gas supplied by
the Atlanta Gas Light Company.
Please allow me to explain, there
fore, 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.”

The Atlanta Board of Health ,Friday
afternoon revoked the license of C. H.
Beuchler, North Boulevard dairyman,
who assaulted Dr. Claude A, Smith
Thursday morning. Pending the re
covery of Dr. Smith and an investiga
tion of the affray Beuchler's dairy can
not sell milk in the city.
Beuchler appeared before the bhoard
and expressed his regret at the trouble.
He also promised full co-operation with
the health department., Carroll Lati
mer, representing Beuchler, made a
plea for his 300 customers, stating that
