BILLION AND AHALF

Treasury Officials Figure Ma
tion Has Subscribed One-HaIf
of the Minimum Quota.
%,870,65O IN D. C. so FAR

The nation has subscribed approx
mately $1,50oo0oOo0, or one-half the
minimum quota of the liberty loan
Treasury officials estimated today
The big scoreboard for Washington's
subscriptions, at the American Security
and Trust Company, shows s. Sc, $50 to-
tai subscriptions for Washington to
date.
This is but a quarter of Washington's
allotment. while the nation has sub
scribed about half of the full quota.
but this proportion in Washington's
case does not indicate that the capital
is falling behind, it was stated. Many
of the banks have been slow in report
ing. But two fiscal institutions have
announced the extent of their per-
sonal buying.
New Plan for Local Canvass.
Washington's total is expected to
bound skyward with the announcement
of a new underwriting plan, evolved
by John Poole. chairman of the local
committee. Mr.. Poole has not a single
doubt about the Districts quota of
S20,000,00o being oversubscribed. One
of the biggest factors in helping to do
business interests to induce them to
underwrite certain amount of the
bonds.
The money will be lent to business
men who take these amounts, and if
they cannot absorb the total in that
period they may sell their bonds in the
open market. Even il they sustain a
slight loss it is considered slight in
contrast to the benefit derived from
having Washington 90 its share in the
loan subscription.
Eugene =. Thompson, chairman Of the
local committees publicity department,
today invited every member of the
Washington committee and all the
speakers working with 1t to dinner
at the Commercial Club at o'clock.
Then this underwriting plan will be
explained. Other points which have
been raised will be considered

Under the recent agreement reached
at a conference here between the oper-

ing substantial increases was agreed
upon. The operators first entered into
the agreement conditional upon an ad-

the administration, finally agreed with
out that stipulation. The question of
allowing an increased price for coal

Bad Treatment and Food.

The Austrian crews are said to have
reyolted under bad treatment of officers
and bad food, while the clash with the
German submarine crews was caused
by the overbearing conduct of the lat
ter.
The dispatches say the tension be-
tween the Austrian and German crews
became so alarming that extraordinary
measures were taken to prevent re-
currence of the fighting between them,
which Included the decision to move the
German submarine f1otilla from the
Austrian base at Pola to another
point farther south on the Adriatlc
The fighting between the two sets OF
crews is described as having been san
culinary.
Profound Impression Here.
This news Of mutiny in the Austrian
navy, received in the capital today almost
at the same time as the Amsterdam dis
patches reporting further mutinies In the
German navy-this time among subma-
rine crews-created profound impress
sion among American naval officers and
among other officials who have been
watching the situation with expectation
since the first mutinies in the German
fleet were reported a few days ago
Terrors in U-Boat Service.
The first signs of mutiny in the Ger
man fleet were regarded as most sig
ntficant, since unlike the army, 1t has
endured little of the hardship of cam
paigning. Dispatches from abroad, how
ever. confirm the opinion Of American
naval officers that it probably was due
in part, at least. to the drafting of seamen
for submarine crews. a service which has
come to hold terrors for the German
seamen. because of the infexible Brit
ish policy of never making any an
nouncement whatever of the fate OF
captured or lost crews of the German
submersibles.
rades who go out never to be heard OF
again mas expected to undermine the
morale of the navy.
Clashes between German and Austrian
crews are regarded in naval circles here
as adding much significance to the s1tua-
ton. particularly when considered in the
light of the extreme situation OF Aus
tria, whose fighting forces. at the point
of exhaustion, are kept on the front only
by Germany.

garding anti-craft guns and fired their
