The Fourth Liberty
Loan The Greatest
Single Event In
Financial History

The United States Government
asked loan from the people of the
country of $4,000, 900. 900 an amount
unprecedented in the history of the
world. In three weeks time, in spite
of an epidemic of influenza which
prevented public meetings and cost
the people many millions of dollars
in medical bills and lost time, and in
spite, too, of the peace rumors that
in sume instances had a tendency to
make the success Of the loan seem
less vital. some 21,000,000 of the
American people offered to the
Government S6.866, 416, 300. Each
Federal Reserve district oversub-
scribed its quota. Thousands Of
cities, towns, and communities over
subscribed their quotas. Secretary
McAdoo says that the Fourth Liberty
Loan is the greatest single vent in
financial history.
The Fourth Loan was called the
fighting loan; it is record of Ameri-
canism comparable with the record
that our soldiers on the seas are MAX
ing. The people at home have given
loyal support to our fighting men,.
Our soldiers are holding every acre
of ground they take. Let the people
at home hold every Liberty Bond
they have taken.
A Liberty Bond is a certificate of
patriotism; keep it to show to our
boys when they come back from
Europe.

Secretary Daniels called in an ex-
pert yesterday when the matter was

opinion. there was nothing very re-
markable about the return of the
torpedo. He said that a torpedo
could be fired and given just such a
direction as that reported by the
commander of the Somerstadt by
the use OF the gyroscope. He main
tanned that 1t had been done sew
eral times in the U. S. Navy and
was probably the manner in which
it was done by the German sub
marine. He explained that oc-
casionally, when a submarine is by

point of departure there were we'll

1t would go forward for a certain

The entire French press is en-

formation of the first American
Army. says Nadvices received at the
French embassy yesterday.
In the Petit Journal. Lieut.. Col
ThoHasson writes: The event of
the day is tho consultation OF the
FIRST American army. All this has
only been possible thanks to the
good viii OF the Americans, their
devotion to the common cause, and
their intelligence, All voices are
unanimous in regard to them An
OF our generals who have American
units under their orders say that
no one could be more valiant than
their soldiers. and no one could
show more ardor in their work and
more tact than their oficers."
Secretary of War Baker said yes
terday the War Department, as yet,
had received no ofncisI confirmation
of the formation of the first army.
Details, however, are expected to be
given today by General March, chief
of stan, in his semi-weekly talk to
the newspaper correspondents.
Secretary Baker said that al
though he did not know the manner
in which the first army was formed,
the general procedure would seem
to indicate it consisted of three
army corps. Each corps, on paper,
should consist Of six divisions, he
added. or eighteen divisions COM

FUMES
FROM U-BOATS
NOT UNLIKELY
Daniels Will Have Story
from Smiths Island
Fully Probed.

In view Of the Importance Of the
report from official sources off
Smiths Island, N. c., that the Ger
mans had begun to attack shore
stations by mustard gas developed
from floating oil. Secretary Daniels
is having the whole matter care
fully and fully Investigated.
Mr.. Daniels announced yesterday
that because of the origin OF the
report he regarded 1t as a serious
matter and worthy Of adequate in
quiry. other oficials also, who
were inclined Monday to take the
other view. are now Of the opinion
that in these days Of surprises tho
fiotation of a chemically treated oil
on the tide into harbors might be-
,eoue q serious natter spoakinE
OF his determination to have an ex-
haustive inquiry Mr. Daniels said:
Nothing is impossible. Some of
the officers are OF the opinion that
there may have been a mistake in
the report. but have full confidence
in the commandant of. the station
who sent the report and I take it
to be serious and true"
VIII Take Testimony.
1t Is understood that the comman-
dant of the Sixth Naval District at
Charleston, S. c., will send experts
at once, II not already sent, to col
lect all the evidence remaining. and
to take the testimony of the six
men who were overcome by the gas.
The inquiry will no doubt deter
mine the nature OF the oil and per-
haps by analysis II can be discov-
cred how gas is produced by its
mere contact with salt water. One
OF the officers here said today that
1t would appear that in order for
such an oil to be effective the Ger
mans must have invented some way
by which the gas would begin to
develop after the oil had been drift
ing for some time.
It Is certain that II the report Of
the officers investigating the origin
Of the gas shows that the German
trick is practical and may be used
on a large scale, the navy and coast
defense will take steps to neutralize
its effects. Mr.. Daniels said yester-
day, however, that the question Of
gas masks for coast guards and others
who might be exposed to the deadly
fumes was somewhat premature.
Channel Led to Wilmington.
1t was pointed out that In the Smith
Island case the German scheme to
float the poison through inland chan
nels was frustrated by the tide set
ting In strongly along Smith Island
instead of penetrating more directly
into the open channel. The channel
in question leads into the important
city OF Wilmington, North Carolina.
It is realized that in order to make
the oil-gas scheme a success the sub
marine must be able to carry a large
number of barrels of oil. Officials
are disposed now to look the possibili-
ties squarely in the face, but with
out any alarm, as the known facts do
not justify such alarm. 1t was sug-
gested yesterday that the oil gas was
the thing referred to by the German
admiralty when 1t said after the first
submarine raid that they would come
back and strike terror into the At
lantic coast.
