London, June 15.-Big guns, bombs,
mines, and scouting parties are set

Plan RIpenIng Faster.
Sir Douglas Haig's plan is ripening
faster. He means to be well along on
the road to Lille before the Germans
have started their infantry drive.
When they do start, he means to be so
well on the way that they will have
to give up in the south and rush their
reserves northward to stop him.
Today the British commander de-
monstrated what he meant when, in
his congratulatory message to Gen.
Plumer he said: THE full effect Of

Under his pressure all the way be-

New York, June 15.-In a cracked.
Wheeling monotone, John B. Manu-

stand in the Supreme Court at Long

Loan in Name of Democracy
Proves Great Success.
Figures Incomplete.

Three billion American dollars for
liberty and democracy.
This is the chorus swelled by the
voices OF 100000 men, women, and
children Of the United States In de-
fance Of military autocracy.
The figures are not those OF a GER
tihed accountant, but they are as
near as expert financiers at the Treas
ury Department last night could prox-
innate it in reaching conclusions on
the result of the great liberty loan,
which closed at noon yesterday.
UnquestionAbly the figures will
mount higher today. By Monday.
when the returns will be Official. the
chorus will have become an anthem
OF freedom to be carried across the
seas to hearten the allies and at the
same time awe the Prussian. A thun-
derous dirge to tell the Kaiser of

as we'll as States united for a govern
ment under one Constitution.
Never was a popular loan brought to
q close more successfully. Never did
nation respond more gloriously TO

Result Forecast.
Early in the morning the result was
forecast beyond all doubt. The re-
turns last night we're slow coming in,
but the few officials who were at the
Treasury Department were jubilant.
Those who did not return to the build
ing after leaving It at o'clock-and
Mr.. McAdoo was among them-were

ures that filtered in at irregular in

paign for the loan. He wired to the
various publicity committee chair
men in the twelve Federal reserve
districts to report as soon as possible
by telegraph the tentative figures In
their districts, Cleveland was the
first to respond. The message read:
Figures for the subscriptions TO the
liberty loan in the Fourth FEDERAL re-
serve district, as compiled by the CEN
trail liberty loan committee OF that
district, indicate the following:
Total subscriptions, S2SI, ,Oo0. 600; to-
tai number Of subscribers probably
will exceed 800, 200.
These figures are not, however. the
figures of the Federal reserve bank in
that district, but those of the central
liberty loan committee"
The following telegram was received
last night at the department from
James E. West, chief scoutmaster of
the Boy Scouts of America:
New York, June 15.-Incomplete re-
turns show a total of 50, 40. 600 secured
by scouts; probably close to 100, ,0oO
individual subscriptions"
The basis of estimating the number
OF individual subscriptions for the en-
tire loan as adopted at the depart
ment last night was the number of
liberty loan buttons asked by the diff
ferent reserve cities. The output for
New York, Boston, and Philadelphia
was 100000.
Cleveland not only was the second
city to turn its figures, but il was
the first to report in excess of the
amount expected from it. However, It

Out of the German war zone yester-
day came the story of the most thrill
ing sea fight of the war. Engaged in
it were only two vessels, but for fury
and that picturesqueness which makes
the traditions of the sea, it was all
epic of blue water.
One of the ships was the American
tanker Moreni; the other a German
submarine. The MoFeni lost. She was
set afiame by a German shell after
running battle of two hours, and
four of her men were killed.
But she fought gamely against her
superior enemy, firing $50 shots to the
submarines 200. After it all was over
and the survivors were pulling away
from their burning ship in small boats,
the submarine drew up alongside the
captains boat, and the U-boat's COM
mander congratulated his defeated ad-
Nersary on the battle he had fought.
IN the cold, bare words of a State
Department. announcement the story
was told yesterday afternoon. De-
tails had been received in a consular
dispatch from the. port to which the
survivors of the Moreni had been
taken. There were forty-three of the
crew rescued, with the entire naval
gun crew.
The battle between the two vessels
began in the darkness of the morning
Of June II. The vessels engaged in a
running dght lasting two hours. The
sun was just beginning to light the
sea when the Moreni went down, burn

PLEDGED BY Miners

Promise Defense Council.

One billion tons Of coal is the prom
lsed production for the nation next
year under an agreement reached
yesterday between officials Of the
United Mine Workers OF America and
the Council of National Defense.
Equal recognition will be given by
the government henceforth to the mine
workers and mine operators, and each

was decided at a conference held here
yesterday. At the close of the con-
ference, John P. White, president Of
the United Mine Workers, said:
with this new understandings
reached, 1 repeat my former statement
that free workers organized as free
men can cover this country a foot deep
with coal and in the next year raise
its production from the former record
OF 600. 100000 tons to ]. 900. 900, ,0O0."
Recognition by the Council OF De-
fense of the union workers in dealing
with the coal situation was hailed
yesterday by labor leaders as meaning
that the government had come to q
realization that the labor interests OF
the country had pledged themselves
to the support of President Wilson in
lower coal production through strikes
or dissension had been obviated.
The action taken yesterday also
means that the Defense Councils q
committee on cot production will be
a BODY representing every element
entering into the production OF coal
in the United States and will insure
all the fuel necessary for this country
and for Importation to our allies
where II Is needed to keep munitions
factories running and to supply the
fleets.
President White, of the Mine Work
ers, recently issued a statement con-
demning the ''one-sided" personnel of
the Defense Councils committee on
coal production. He declared that II
was unfair to the union workers and
to the operators employing union men
for no representation to be given the
union on the committee. Immediately
