LIBERTY LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS
KEEP POURING INTO THE
TREASURY


WASHINGTON, d. c., May r.
The golden flood of subscriptions TO
the liberty loan continued today. Of
ficials estimated that since 2 o'clock
Saturday when the last compilation
was made, offers had been received
by wire totalling as much as the big
aggregate made public Saturday
night of $172,OOO,OOO Should this es.
innate be correct, the total thus
far approaches 0OOOO,O00.
Thus far only the banks and
wealthy individuals have been heard
from. The small investors voice has
not been heard except indirectly.
Officials believe that great army
of men of moderate means are an
xious to invest in the bonds and to
this end a program is under consid-
Grafton, which will enable virtually
everyone to buy at least one bond.
To encourage individual subscrip-
tions, treasury officials have approx
ed a button to be worn in the coat
lapel, stating that the wearer is the
owner of a liberty bond One but
ton will be given to each subscrib-
er.

AT BuLLECoURT
CBy Associated Press.)

LONDON, May Prisoners are
being taken by the British at Bulle-
court. Already seventy have been
sent back to the cages. says Reu-
ter correspondent. In describing to-
days fighting, he says the guns con-
tinue to pound the German positions.
These have been only improvised and
different from the old permanent
front, and the losses are mounting
to an appalling total.
Among the prisoners taken in the
earlier stages of the present fight
ing, SO per cent were about 10 years
of age. The morale is very poor,
which is attributed to the fact that
they have a clearer conception Of
the condition in Germany than their
older comrades and realize the hope
lessness of the struggle.

OVER $4,000 PRISONERS
TAKEN DURING THE WEEK
OF DESPERATE FIGHTING

Laffeaux have been maintained. The
Germans captured 726 men since
Saturday ana brought down four en-
tente airplanes. The Germans still
hold the village OF Chevreaux.
The Germans have hurled counter
attack after counter attack against
the French forces in their new posi-
tions northeast of Scissors, taken in
their advance toward Laon and east
ward along the Chemin des Danes,
but their efforts were useless. Gen
eral Nivelle's men clung tenaciousiy
to them throughout Saturday night
and Sunday and inflicted heavy cas-
ualties ON the Germans. The great
er portion of the Is mile front has
been consolidated and 6l00 Germans
have been captured. The French
Sunday enlarged their holdings by
capturing important German points
of support north Of the Moulin dc
Laffeaux and north of Braye en- Laon-
nois.
Berlin, referring to Saturdays bat
tie, declares the French attempt to
break through the German line was
unavailing and the gigantic thrust
was entirely repulsed. 1t admits,
however, that the intensive fire of
the French guns destroyed complete
| ly the German positions on the Win
terburg, and that this eminence and
several adjacent sectors were occu-
pied by the French. 1t is asserted
by Berlin that the French after
their sanguinary defeat" of Saturday
did not repeat their attack Sunday.
East of Bullecourt, which lies mid
way between Arras and Cambria, the
Germans Saturday night endeavor-
ed to regain ground lost to the Brit
sh last week. They were unsuc-
cessful, however, and a similar at
tempt Sunday likewise was put down.
A German airplane for the first
time during the war has flown over
Odessa, Russia's principal seaport
on the Black Sea, according to

The announcement Saturday that

way for the full force of the truth
