GERMANY AT LAST
RECOGNIZES THIS
COUNTRY As A FOE
LIBERTY LOAN As
BUARO ENCOURAGED
CENTRAL COMMITTEE is MORE
THAN GRATiFiED BY RESULTS
OF PAST FEW DAYS.

Atlanta, June 12.-The Liberty
Loan central committee is more en-
couraged with the returns of Monday
and Tuesday of this week from the
sixth reserve district than at any
time during the campaign
Many small towns throughout the
district are taking as much as $780,
900 or more of the Liberty Bonds, and
indications are beginning to show
that the sixth district will come
somewhere near reaching its quota
of the subscription even if it does not
oversubscribe the amount.
The committee is very deeply graf
ified over the large number of small
subscriptions ranging from $50 to
$500. 1t is an evidence of the democ-
racy of the Liberty Loan. The banks
trust companies and many wealthy
men are purchasing in substantial
amounts; but it is the middle class,
made up of professional and business
men with incomes of anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year, who are not
doing their part The committee has
many instances of men of this class
who have either subscribed nothing
at all or who have bought bonds of
small denominations A special cam
paign for the balance of the week will
be directed toward this class of buy
ers who would furnish a large and
substantial aggregate if they could be
reached.
Chairman M. B. Wellborn, of the
board of directors of the federal re-
serve bank FOR this district, has Just
returned from Birmingham, where
he spent the day in company with
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
whose speech there hit the keynote
and served to wake up Alabama to
the Importance of an over-subscrip
ton of her allotment of the Liberty
Bonds. Mr.. Wellborn says that Birm
ingham is now doing finely and he is
confident Alabama will before Fri
day come to the front with her full
amount. He said Mr.. McAdoo was
very much disappointed at the show
ing made in the south, and called at
tention to the fact thta it is impera
tive that the Liberty Loan be large
ly over-subscribed.

NEUTRAL TRADE TO RE REDUCED
LORD ROBERT CECIL SAYS AL.
LIES BLOCKADE OF GER.
MANY NOT YET CON-.
III Nmn

London. March 27-William A. s.
Hewins and Carlton W. Bellairs, I'm
ionist members of the House of Com
mons, this afternoon raised the ques-
ton Of the effectiveness of the British
blockade and the difficulties Of en-
forcing 1t, during a debate in the
House. Mr.. Bellairs said the difficulty
had been largely removed when the
United States, the most powerful and
most critical neutral" came in on the
side Of the Entente Allies.
Lord Robert Cecil, minister OF
blockade, assured the members of the
House that the closest. cooperation
existed between the admiralty and
his department.
Lord Robert, in reviewing all the
steps that had been adopted in con-
nection with the blockade, emphasized
the value OF rationing by an agree
ment with some body in a neutral
country as more smooth and effective
than compulsory rationing.
Lord Robert still felt, however, that
everything necessary had not been
done to complete the blockade Of Ger
many. There was the question of the
home produce, of border neutrals
which was most difficult subject. He
said he had arrived at the conclusion
that the only way to deal with this
matter was by securing agreements
with neutrals to stop or diminish such
trade.
The blockade minister went at great
length into the difficulty surrounding
any attempt to compel neutral coun-
.ries to sever all trade relations with
Germany. The technical and military
positions of those countries had to be
considered, he said. Concerning Den
mark Lord Robert said the govern
nent believed the agreement with
Denmark had been honestly carried
tut and that there was no reason to
Modify the present blockade policy as
ffecting Denmark.
Sir Edward Carson, first lord of
he admiralty, characterized as alb
urd the demands that the blockade
hould be left to the navy as sug-
ested in the House of Lords by Ad-
1iral Lord Charles Beresford, retired.
