LIBERTY LOAN ovERsUBScRlBED
MANY MILLION OF DOLLARS.

Washington-The American peo-
pie have responded to the govern
ment's call for funds to finance the
war with an over-subscription to the
So 900, 100000 liberty loan of proper
tons so huge that officials are buried
beneath a landslide of untabulated re-
turns.
1t was overwhelming beyond the
most sanguine hopes of treasury off.
Gals, though not one OF the twelve
federal reserve banks, reginal head
quarters of the loan, could hazard
more than an estimate Of Its total
In the country's answer to the CALL
the dominant note was the voice of
the small investor. His money talked
the last day of the campaign in elo-
quent terms. The hope for a wide.
spread response of the average man
with the average income was more
than realized in the multitudes that
hocked to the banks. 1t appeared that
all previous estimates had gone by
the boards and that nearly 100000
men and women have bought their
bonds.
In the absence of official figures,
officials hestiated to predict how high
the total would soar. 1t mounted
every hour to new heights and assum-
ed such proportions that there was an
apparent inclination to accept with
some allowances the rosy estimates
of local liberty loan committees as to
their totals of their districts.
At the treasury. a note of conserva.
tism was sounded concerning these es-
Inmates. II was feared that the COM
mittees, flushed with success, might
be overoptimistic, and there was 4
manifest unwillingness to accept as
final any estimates unverified by
actual tabulations.

Joffre Is Mathematician.

General Joffre, had he not chosen
the army as a profession, might have
been a professor Of mathematics, and
the new French war minister, NJ. Pain
leve, Is one of the most brilliant of
contemporary mathematlcians. As
boy, indeed he was a mathematical
prodigy, and before he entered politics
he had written several books ON adj
vanced mathematical problems. Mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation and applied science
win probably prove the most important
factors In ending the world war, and
the allies have now a galaxy of sclen-
tific brains In their service.

Study Your Habits.

Habit accustoms us to doing most
of the everyday things In particular
ways, and we consciously turn the
mind to them only when they chance
TO be done differently, The dividing
line between efficiency and inefliciency
is largely right here. Anyone who
stops to think about It can easily see
that innumerabe little habits make
up a very large part of our lives. 1t
is indeed well worth while carefully
to study the host of little habits that
breed and hide In the most secret cells
Of brain and muscle. None of them is
too small to be worth attention.--Ex-

AMERICAN GUNNERS
MEET FIRST DEFEAT
ARMED AMERICAN STEAMER 10
SUNK AFTER RUNNING FIGHT
WITH SUBMARINE.
ONLY -FOUR LIVES ARE LOST
Hundreds Of Shots Fired Before
Steamer Goes Down.--Survivors Re.
scued From life Boats.--Treated
With Marked Consideration BY Ger
mans.


ngton.-American naval gun
ners have met their first defeat In
open fight with a German submarine.
Official dispatches announced the de.
struction of the tank steamship
Moreni, abandoned ablaze June ~ by
her crew and armed guard after a
desperate running fight in the war
zone, which cost the lives of four of
her crew.
Half an hour after the tanker had
been sent to the bottom, her forty
three survivors, including all of the
members of the armed guard, were
picked up with their life boats by
passing steamer The German COM
mander had set them adrift after con.
graduating the American skipper up
on his game fight and having the
wounded men treated by the submar-
ines surgeon
The submarine began the action at
n range Of 5000 yards, four nautical
miles, when she hardly was visible TO
the steamer without glasses. Present
ing virtually no target herself, she
sent two hundred shells at the big
tanker, making many hits, while the
American gunners wasted 15N shots
without harming the speck from
which the deadly hail came.
Naval officers assumed that the sub
marine was armed with the sixinch
rifles mounted by most OF the newest
undersea boats. No statement was
available as to the armament Of the
Moreni. The failure of the gunners
to get the submarine was attributed
generally to the long range and small
target.
The action Of the submarine com.
mander in treating his vanquished OPP
ponents with such unexpected cour-
tesy was the subject of much com.
ment. Germany has proclaimed her
intention to treat British armed mer-
chant crews as pirates.
