LIBERTY BONDS
SOLD BEYOND
QUOTA in ST.
TAMMANY
St. Tammany Parish Does
It's Share In Buying
Liberty Bonds.
$4,000 SUBSCRIBED
IN. VERY FEW DAYS.
Banks of Parish Join In
Pushing Sales Above
Parish Quota.

The banks OF st. Tammany parish
are not only on a sound financ'al
footing, as shown by their state
ments, but they have behind them
the business sense and energy that
enables them to make this excellent
showing. The first Liberty Loan
was taken up by them and pushed to
! valuable and successful subscrip-
tion. But there were some who
thought it would not be such an easy
matter to place the second loan, be-
cause the liberal contribution to the
Brst would use up surplus money.
St. Tammany parish was represent
I'd at the Liberty Loan convention
recently at New Orleans, by p. &.
Davis, president of the Covington
Bank & Trust Company; e. j. Do
mergue, president of the St. Tam
many Bank & Trust Company, OF
1Covington; p. A. Blanchard, cashier
Of the jacksonville Bank, and E. A.
Everitt, cashier of the Slidell Bank.
Il was generally considered that the
banks would take an active part In
seeing that the loan was literally
subscribed to, and the result OF the
work of the banks here shows that
Il the same progress was made In
other sections the loan is already
largely over-subscribed
Mr.. E. ]. Domergue was appoint
Cd chairman of the Liberty Loan
Committee of this district. and the
energy with which this committee
worked has enabled it to make the
statement that the quota allotted to
81. Tammany parish has been over
euhsorlbed $1,000. Our quota was
placed at $125,000 and $13O.OOO
vas raised in two or three days.

General, Fresh From Victory Over Bandit Villa, Says America Doesn't Try To Prevent Border Conspir- acies.
DEFACTOS TIRED OF
 PLOTS BORN IN U. s.
General Says Villas Doom Is Rapidly Approaching, And That Bandit Will Be Lent To Circus When Caught.
(By Review Leased Wire)

] JUAREZ. April 26.-If the United States expects Mexico to prevent Ger, mans from menacing the American ' 'torder. as General Carranza has agreed to do, then the American gov ernment should suppress the Villa juntas that exist in American border cities and should drive these Villa propagandists from the border Gen. eral Francisco Murguia, commander in chief of the northeastern military zone. said tonight before leaving for Casas Grandes in pursuit of Villa.
 Raps U. S. Made Plots
 We are now fighting a common en- emy of the United States and Mexico in Francisco Villa" General Murguia said. We fight to prevent him from approaching the American border, yet just across the same border, Villa agents and Villa juntas are permitted to operate more or less openly, there by aiding and abetting a man who is not a Mexican, but an international criminal whose bloody motives are directed as much against the United States and the American people as they are against Mexico and the Mex ican people"
 General Murguia said this as he sat in the private car of his troop train. smoking a black cigarette. bandana handkerchief tied about his neck in place of collar and his service uni form soiled with the dust of the des- ert
 At this time. when the military and civil authorities of Mexico are doing everything possible to eliminate Villa" he added. "I believe the Unit ed States government would be doing real service, both to the United States and Mexico. if these Villa con spiracies were suppressed and the conspirators arrested. Many border towns contain nests of radicals who are permitted to connive against the established government of Mexico which has been recognized as such by the United States.
 Keeps Villa From Border
 "The purpose of my present cam paign has been to prevent Villa from reaching the American frontier and to give battle to him wherever could locate him. Tonight we are bound for Casas Grandes to prevent Villa reach ing a point where another raid across the American border would be possi- ble. That was the reason for my cam paign from Casas Grandes and l be- lieve it has been successful for we have scattered Villas followers and forced him to disorganize his com mand into small rowing bands of ban dits.

posed it. Senator Stone who conclud- ed the days debate in the senate de clared that although he opposed the declaration of war, he would vote with the President for conscription. He said be believed. however. the bill should be changed to make ages of those subject to draft 25 to 40 instead of 19 to 45 and that it should contain provision that the President when peace is declared must give up his authority to raise sn army under it.
 Draft Assures Success
 We are needed on the battle line in Europe" the Missouri senator said. There must be no halting at home The President thinks the time is past for experiment I agree with him. It is imperative that we act and get ready with the least possible delay. The draft plan will most certainly speedily and efficiently meet the de mands of the hour. Pass this bill and he will forthwith enter upon plan that will not be experimental: it's sue cess is assured from the beginning"

 About Volunteers
(By Review Leased wire.l

WASHINGTON, April 26.- Joseph Letter, president of the Army League telegraphed Colonel Roosevelt today asking him to desist from his agita- ton for a volunteer division for ser vice in France, because his attitude was giving aid and comfort to the enemy in congress"
 'I do not believe any one questions your patriotism or your Americanism in the present crisis said the mes sage. Yet I regret that in your eff forts to put our flag on the firing line at the head of force of volunteers you are giving aid and comfort to the enemy in congress.

 MADISON, Wis. April 26.- Senator Frank Raguse. Milwaukee Socialist, was tonight expelled from membership in the Wiscon- sin senate for contempt. disorder Iy behavior, and conduct unbecom- ing a senator of Wisconsin in making a disIoyaI statement on the floor of the senate last Tues day evening. The vote on the ex- puIsion of the Milwaukee Social ist was thirty to three, Senators Raguse, Arnold and Zumach, all Socialists of Milwaukee voting against the resolution.
 REFUSES TO EXTRACT
 Preceding this action the senate adopted a resolution demanding that Raguse sign a retraction, but Raguse refused.
 Raguse declared he had not been given a fair hearing. He said he intended to run again for the sem ate in his district. He challenged any able bodied eenator to enlist with him in the United States army and show their patriotism.
 The statements which brought about the expulsion of Senator Ra- guse were made on Tuesday even ing during a oebate on a resolu- ton to print 50,000 copies of President Wilson's message. The substance of h;s statement to which exception was taken is as follows:
 ACCUSES MAINE HEROES
 "This resolution is meant to create patriotism but it will not do it. You cannot create patriot ism where eiehty-five per cent of the people don't own land. The way to create patriotism, as un- derstand it, is to do as was done when the Maine was blown up from the inside, and property and lives both were destroyed, in or der that Remember the Maine should be heralded over the coun- try and the people would be reused to patriotism"

Rear Admiral De Chair Re- fuses To Minimize Peril, But Is Confident Britain Shall Never Starve.
DOUBTS IF U-BOATS
 WILL VISIT U. s.
Not Profitable To Germans Without Extensive Base On This Side. Says Allies Fleet Won't Tackle Helgo- land.
CBy Review Leased wi-el

WASHINGTON. April 26 Rear Admiral Sir Dudley R. s. de Chair. the veteran naval officer of Great Britain's war commission 10 the Un- ited States gave Washington news paper correspondents today first hand story of some of his experiences during the two years he commanded a patrol fleet chasing German sub marines. Without minimizing the gravity of the submarine menace he confidently predicted that it would be overcome.
 Doubts Attack on U. S.
 Commenting on suggestions that Germany might undertake a submar- inc campaign on the American coast. the admiral said this would not be profitable from the German point of view without extensive bases on this side of the Atlantic
 The admiral spoke on the memorial lessons the allies had learned in the war and said lie and his colleagues had come to place them at the dispOs- al of the American government.
 Fared U-Boats Unnurbered
 q only wish" he said. that could tell you the number of German sub marines that we have sunk. UnfOrtu- nately, that is a naval secret as also are the means of detection of sub marines and of combating them. which it will be necessary to guard in closest secrecy until the end of the war Your navy has been furnished with full details. however. by the present mission"
 Of the prospect of submarines ap- bearing in American waters Admiral de Chair said:
 augurate a general submarine cam paign off the American coast unless she could also establish bases here. Each submarine carries from eight tO 10 torpedoes. besides a limited fuel supply. which would largely be vast ed in the long trip over and back. not to mention the warm reception she would probably receive.
 2 New U-Boats Weekly
 Nobody knows exactly how many submarines the Germans are building but We know they are working at fev- erish speed and have heard reports that they are turning out from two to three a week. The time of construc- ton is about eight months. with a similar length of time for torpedOes. and great uncertainty exists as to how long Germany can continue to supply both vessels and torpedOes- We only wish the press could help us to learn this.
 There have been many reports
