LIBERTY LOAN Is OVERSIZE
ScRlaED.

Washington, d. c., June rs.
The Liberty loan has been ire
mendously oversubscribed. When
the books closed at noon treas
ury officials estimated that the
total would reach atleast $780,
100000 and might soar to 3d.
600, 100000.
Every federal reserve district
with the possible exception Of At.
lanta and Kansas City appeared to
have exceeded it's minimum allpt-
ments. Reports from these two
districts were slow in coming in.
With thousands of banks. to be
heard from in the two districts,
however, it seemed likely that the
minimum allotment would be
reached in each case.
Reports from every section of
the country told of an avalanche
of small subscriptions at the last
moment. Scores of small inves-
tors were standing in line at hun
dreds of banks throughout the
country during the final hour.
Swelling the huge total by mil
lions came the belated subscrip-
tons of the banks that held hack
till the last moment. The clerical
forces of virtually every reserve
bank were practically buried un-
der landslide Of eleventh hour
subscriptions.
Because of this situation, the
exact total subscription may not
be known for many hours. The
full magnitude Of the country's
response may not be measured
for several days.

GIVES ELECTRIC FLRo.

A handsome electric flag now
adorns the front Of the court
in this city, being the gift of our
townsman, Attorney Carroll A..
Boiler.
The flag is a mammoth affair,
weighing over 400 pounds, the
express on it from Dayton, Ohio,
being more than $12, and the
first cost amounted to about $3.50.
Electric light bulbs to the number
of 1870 will adorn the flag, which
when lighted up will be visible

N. ". TIMES REPORT OF WARS
CALL FOR DOCTORS

Last week there was meeting
at the Waldorf-Astoria, when Dr..
Martin told the members Of the
American Medical Assn. that in a.
conversation with Mr.. Balfour at
the White House, he was urged TO
hasten doctors to England and to
France, as they needed 1000
at once.
He said they had need of $4,000
medical men now, with 5000 who
had volunteered and had received
commissions, less than 5000 Of
them would accept. DR.. Martin
said, IF you are a member of the
Medical Officers Reserve Corps
for Gods sake go home and ac--
cept: if you're not going to ac-
scept, go home and say that, so we
down in Washing ton y can know

ness of this hospital unit is
shown by the later offer to fl

Washington is stirred by this
lack of doctors, who have selfish

have done a great service for

Atlanta Constitution.

Whatever may be said regarding the
reluctance in other neutral nations to
emulate the procedure of the United
States in severing diplomatic relations
with Germany. the world-at-large must
agree that Holland. Denmark and Switz-
erland are acting wisely in proceeding
with extreme caution. A glance at the
map affords sufficient proof OF this.
Germany could cross the imagi-
nary line into Denmark and override that
country or cross into Holland and con-
quer the Dutch in the twinkling of an
eye. Germany could swallow either at
one gulp.
AS to Switzerland. her situation is a
little more secure because of the noun
tain barriers. and the task of overriding
the little republic would be a little more
difficult; but its accomplishment none the
less certain.
For which reason these minor powers
are displa ying good judgment, in obedi-
ence to "the first law of nature" in re-
framing at this time from joining in a
breach with the central powers. The ex-
treme easiness OF their position cannot
but command the forbearance and SYM
pathy of the rest of the world.

Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

Without being present at the conference
between Emperor William and his ad-
visers, the ordinary close observer of
events may venture TO state the most i'm
portant decision now facing the German
Imperial government. After thirty months
OF heroic striving on land to deliver a
knockout to his enemies. the Kaiser finds
his own and the countries of his allies
menaced by economic, IL not physical,
starvation by the navy of Albion. More
appropriately than at any time since the
struggle began, the General STAFF at Great
Headquarters might unite in the chorus: {:
I'VE have one hate, and only one.''
There are only two reasonably
probable results of Germany's announced
course. England will be starved, or Ger
many will shortly bow her head and ad-
nit a defeat that may cost the Hohen-
Zollerns their throne. To avert this last
catastrophy, a demoniacel lUnge at tho
heart of England may seem justiiable to
the Kaiser Already that thrust has been
made in almost full strength. Does Eng

Direct Tax Defeated.

By decisive vote the Senate yes
terday rejected a proposal to bur-
den the people of the United States
with another direct tax
That in substance, is the effect of
the defeat of the proposal to double
the rate for second class mailing
privileges.
To increase the rate as proposed by
Senator Bryan would have stifled
many newspapers which are eking
out mere existence. To the metro
politan and the more prosperous
dailies, it would have enforced an
increase in price in majority Of
cases, and the increased rates would
thus have come from the pocketbooks
of the masses, and in reality work out
as an indirect tax on the people.
The newspaper of today is not a
luxury in the average family. 1t is
an absolute necessity, if the parents
and the children are to keep in touch
with contemporary history And a
knowledge of contemporary history
is just as essential to complete edu-
cation as the story of the past. The
purpose of the administration and of
Congress is to make the necessities
of life the last thing to burden with
taxation and the defeat of the pro-
posed increase is consistent with this
policy.
Under existing law, newspapers and
periodicals pay one cent per pound for
mailing privileges. The proposed
amendment would have doubled this
rate within two years.
Despite the opinion of Senator
Vardaman that the newspapers mop
posing the amendment were seeking
a subsidy and the retention of privi-
lege, facts do not bear this out.
Newspapers are ready and willing
to pay their just share of the expenses
of maintaining the government. When
it can be shown conclusively that the
newspapers of the country are being
moved and handled by the govern
ment at loss, the newspapers can
not consistently oppose any move
ment to make the rate equitable. But
it has not been shown, and scien-
tihc investigation might prove that
reduction in the rate, instead of an in
crease, would work out for equity be-
tween the publishers and Uncle Sam,
The cost of print paper has advanc-
ed tremendously, labor Is, higher and
