ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1918
Members of the Liberty I.oan teams
which rolled up $402,560 on the third
day of the canvass were acting Sat
urday as “moppers-up”’ and going
after the prospects overlooked, out
of town or “busy” when the original
calls were made, but the day was
rather looked upon as a lull before the
big drive. That begins Monday, when
the Women's Battalion goes into ac
tion. 1
In the meantime,. the stunt commit
tee under Frank E. Lowenstein was
framing up a few things to keep At
llama from forgetting the Liberty
| Loan campaign is under way. One of
lthese will be the appearance Satur
day afternoon of Lew Dockstader,
minstrel star, who will sell bonds at
4:30 o'clock at Five Points. A big
register for the names of subscribers
will be there, and “Sign That Book"
will be the slogan. |
Stunts Are Pianned. |
Next week, it is planned, all At
lanta will be given an invitation to)
subscribe to the bond issue by run
ring the gantlet on an uptown street. |
The stunt committee is planning a
narrow passage along one of the side
walks, with a line of secretaries armed
with fountain pens and subscription
blanks, and the motto here will be
“They Shall Not Pass” until they sign
an application or prove they already
have subscribed.
Considerable noise is expected to
accompany the campaign next week,
ior a big bell will be rung whenever
a bond is sold, and a cannon (‘oncea!ed‘
near the heart of the city will boom
at short intervals.
Atlanta Saturday was surprised to
learn that Birmingham had set a pace
which the Georgia capital has not
been able to follow so far. Birming
{ ham has not only exceeded her quota,
' which was about half that of Atlanta,
| but has actually subscribed more in
?dollars than has Atlanta. |
| W. U. Subscribes $3,000,000. |
i The Western Union Telegraph!
| Company, it was announced, has sub
| ceribed $3,000,000, to be divided among
?the districts. The Atlanta district
)wxll be assigned as its share between
IS].':O,O(IO and $250,000. Besides this,
employees of the company are invest
ing liberally.
The woman's committee of the Sev
| enth Ward has announced a Liberty
; Loan rally Saturday afiternoon at 3:30
Ir)'('lo(‘k in Howell Park, Gordon and
| Peeples streets. A regimental band
! will play, and in case of rain the
!moeting will be transferred to the
| Peeples Street School, opposite the
| park. Mrs. W. B. Disbro and Mrs,
iA‘ 1.. Colcord are in charge of the

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 20.—The
German drive has been effectually
checked and the tide of the
world's greatest battle has turned,
members of the Senate military

afternoon upon their return to the
Capitol after their weekly confer
ence with the War Council.
The committee manifested a
feeling of vast encouragement
over the whole war situation.
Their attitude was in sharp con
trast to theif depression after last
week's conference with the War
Council.
Developments of the last few
days along the front in France
were freely discussed at today's
conference. After listening to re
ports of the War Council, commit
tee members declared their be
lief that the German advance had
~ been stopped both hefore Amiens
and in Flanders.
“The Allies will give no more
~ ground—the tide of the battle has
turned,” said one Senator. “The
Germans may launch a third big
offensive at some new place along
the line, but this is by no means
certain.”
| Opinions of Senators differed as
~ to imporvement in the production
of war materials in the United
States. One Senator said that
while little improvement was to
be noted in aircraft production in
the last week, prospects for the
attainment of quantity production
at an early date were more favor
able. Another Senator declared
prospects were uncertain.
Several members of the com
mittee expressed dissatisfaction
over the ordnance output.
Divided views were taken on
the shipping situation, however,
some regarding the progress of
Q;e past week as satisfactory,
while others declared it unequal
to the emergency.
