LIBERTY LOAN
100000 Americans Answer
Nations Call.
TRIUMPH FOR DEMOCRACY
"UnmistakabIe Expression Of Ameri-
cans Determination To Garry
War To Swift Conclusion"
Says McAdoo.

Notwithstanding American people
have responded to the Governments
call for funds to finance the war with
an over-subscription to the $2,000,0O0,-
900 Liberty Loan of huge proportions.
Millions Join In Filling War Chest.
In the country's ringing answer to
the call, the dominant note was the
voice CT the small investor. His
money talked the last day of the cam
paign in eloquent terms. The hope
for a widespread response OF the ave-
rage man with the average income
was more than realized in the multi
tude that focked to the banks the last
day.
Secretary McAdoo, announcing the
over-subscription of the offering of the
Liberty Loan, said he cid not think
there would be another offering of the
remaining three billions authorized by
Congress before this fall.
"Triumph For Democracy"
Secretary McAdoo announced the
over-subscription of the loan in the
following statement:
1.-The Liberty Loan has been over
subscribed.
1.-The success of this loan is a
genuine triumph for democracy. 1t is
the unmistakable expression of Amer
ica's determination to carry this war
for the protection of American rights
and the re-establishment of peace and
liberty throughout the world to swift
and successful conclusion.
81 am deeply grateful to the bank
ers, the business men, the women of
America, the patriotic organizations
and the people generally, without
whose cordial cooperation and en-
thusiastie support success could not
have been won 1t has been an in
spring campaign and it has had
glorious finish"

hington.-American naval gun
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.
Picked Up In Half Hour.
Half an hour after the tanker had
been sent to the bottom her 43 sur
vivors, including all of the members
of the armed guard, were picked up
with their lifeboats by passing
steamer. The German commander had
set them adrift after congratulating
the American skipper upon his game
fight and having the wounded men
treated by the submarines surgeon.
The submarine began the action at
a range of 5000 yards, four nautical
miles, when she hardly was visible
to the steamer without glasses. Pre-
senting virtually no target herself, she
sent 200 shells at the big tanker, max
ing many hits, while the American
gunners wasted $50 shots without
harming the speck from which the
deadly hail came.
German Courtesy Commented On.
Naval officers assume that the sub
marine was armed with the six-inch
rifles mounted by most of the newest
undersea boats. No statement was
available as to the armament Of the
Moreni, nor as to whether she was
one of the vessels that sailed without
waiting for full equipment, including
range finder. The failure of the gun
ners to get the submarine was at
tributed generally to the long range
and small target.

BIRD UTILIZEs SNAKE SKIN
Various Reasons Advanced by Natur.
alists for the Action Of the
Crested Fly.catcher.

Habit Of generations leads the crest
ed dy-catcher to select q dried snake
skin to line his nest. There are va
rious explanations Of why he does it.
Some naturalists believe it Is an eff
fort on the part of the bird to render
the nest waterproof. Others think the
dried skin serves as burglar alarm,
to rattle ut the approach Of a squirrel
or another enemy and warn the bird
to defend his home.
He builds his nest in hollow trees,
stumps or posts, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. Sometimes he rents
the abandoned home of a woodpecker.
Prof. H. A. Surface, Pennsylvania
state zoologist, tells of one that
usurped a rural mail box for his fiat !;
of recent years they have been known
to inhabit box homes put up for their
special benefit.
So if you want to encourage the
crested fly-catcher, build him a box
nest. He'll pay his rent many times
over. He eats beetles, flies, grasshop-
pers, butterflies and moths, and few
insects are speedy enough to escape
the swapping Of his bill.
