HITS AT PROFITEERS
WHOLESALERS WILL REFUSE

Government Moves to Check specula-

Issued by Mr.. Hoover.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover will cut off the sup
plies of retail food profteers until the
end of the war.
A new regulation goes into effect
November 1. 1t provides that no manu-
facturer, wholesaler or other handler
of foods will be allowed to sell to any
retailer who makes unreasonable prof
It's or buys quantities of food for
speculation.
1.-The food administration does not
intend to disturb any legitimate OPP
erations," said a statement issued at
Mr.. Hoover's Office. 1T takes the po-
sition that the great majority OF food
sellers are patriotic and honest.
"Such dealers. will be protected.
Those few who persist in abusing their
opportunities will receive attention"
The government also moved to check
speculation in canned goods. Special

LOAN OVER 5 BILLION
REPORTS INDICATE SECOND Is.
SUE is ovERsUBscRlBED.
Means That Bond Issue Actually VIII
BE for $4,000 0Oo,OoO Instead
Of $4,000, ooo, 900.

Washington, Oct 3O.-The second
Liberty loan, Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo announced on Saturday, is an
overwhelming success
There seems not the slightest doubt
that the maximum quota of $5,O0O,O0O,-
600 was reached.
1t is a great honor" said the sec
rotary, ito be able to announce that
the second Liberty loan has been
evidently greatly oversubscribed. It
will be several days before final figures
can be given. The challenge of the
German kaiser has been answered by
the free people of America in unmis-
taxable terms"
A total of $5OOO,OOOOOO will mean
that the bond issue actually will be for
$4,O00,000,0O0 under the plans to al
lot subscriptions equal to the minimum
of $3000,0OO,00O, plus one-half Of the
excess up to a maximum quota.
1t would not be at all surprising If
the total would go as high as $780,
100000.
The number of subscribers, officials
estimate, will be at least 100000.
and may go as high as 100000.
Indications are that soldiers had sub
scribed $75,0OO,000 and sailors $6,OOO,-
600.

whipped"
After the lash was applied Bigelow

siderable time my guards also left me-
telling me not to go away for ten min
utes."

q bitter fight lasting nearly four hours,
