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.—Sub
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 subscriptions
which have been reported through the
Pederal Reserve Banks and upon
which lh' 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 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
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
pace 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 dally sales needed to
oversubscribe to Secretary McAdoo's
appeal for a record issue of $5.000
000,000. Basing the ratio of incresse
on former Treasury statements, the
unofficial national total stand< toda
at more than $600,000,000,
Loan directors have decided to on
the Minneapolis district until 1]
subscriptions reach a normal amou: |
The selling campaign for the distric
begins on Monday, and Minneapolis’
position is negligible just now, though
it will probably swing into the list
with several millions to start. The
distriet 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 u
dead heat with lowa for the honors
of being the first in the Mzt 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 fState were no
sent to the Liberty l.oan headquar
ters, despite Chicago's claim that low
had subscribed its quota prior to (n
gon. ,
Neither of the States hak completed |
the quotas of their counties. Right
cen counties of Oregon’s 34 have been
subscribed, and 74 «f lowa'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, !
Ohlo, 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 notifled
of scores of awards made in all dis
triets,
Farmers Given Chance,
The sales of bonds In the rural;
sommunities was given a tremendous
impetug today when the ca.mpaignl
was pushed into the farms and vil- |
‘ages, following the nation-wide cele- ;
bration in 100,000 schoolhouses last |
aight. l
It was pointed out that the large
ncrease 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
@and’s total by approximately $33,000,- )
YOO, The figures represent the amounts |
‘rom 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
he strength of 5 per cent initial de
oosits, i

THIS ATLANTA GEORGIAN
War Vessel Will Join Fleet in
Viadivostok Harbor—Jap
E Landing Protested.
(By International News Service.)
TOKIO, April 13.—China will send
a warship to join the Allied fleet in
the harbor at Vladivostok, according
to a dispatch from Peking today.
It is reported that the city officials
have joined with the Soviets in pro
testing against the landing of Japa
nese marines in the city. The protest
was delivered to the Japanese naval
commander,
The protest is said to have declared
that the municipality was not respon
sible for the killing of three Japa
nese subjects, and, therefore, the
landing of armed forces was unwar
ranted.
Soviet newspapers (Bolshevik or
gans) express dissatisfaction over the
presence of foreign troops, while the
moderate papers blame the lawless
r.ess upon the Soviet authorities.
The Japanese newspaper Asahi
prints a dispatch saying that all of
the population of Vladivostok, re
gardless of nationality, are satisfied
with the landing of armed Japanese
forces. |

Thirty-eight Men From U-58,
Captured Several Months Ago,
Coming to America.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 13.—!racti
cally an entire German U-boat crew
will be heid here in the United States
as prisoners of war. They w!!| land
at an American port in the vy near
]future and will be gent to a detention
|camp ag prisoners of war, there to
' Btay until the war ends.
. The crew is that from the German
U-68, captured by the destroyers Fan
ning and Nicholson several months
ago and which was sunk after cap
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 32 enlisted men.
~ Bringing these men to this country
is accepted here as indicating that the
Jolicy of the United Statos will 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
emply 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 IJ-58 was the first
big ecapture 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
[’-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.
