FIRST REPORT
TO BE MADE TONIGHT
Teams Began Work This
MOrning--NO Returns
Given Out at Noon

Salem will go over the top with its
quota of $552, 900 subscriptions for the
third liberty loan if the enthusiasm OF
the 81 captains and 800 or more work
ers is an example of the spirit of the
community.
According to all reports received at
the noon day luncheon of workers at
the Methodist church, the workers are
meeting with cordial receptions ON al
hands and but few have found it nee
essary to even explain the purpose OF
their visit. However there has been o
or two sections of the city that have
not come UP to expectations. But in
general the report of the workers is
that but few slackers are to be found.
"This assoeiation of 3S captains and
II for the town and immediate
community will net be dissolved until
our quota has been fully raised," said
General R. f. Lee Steiner today. "We
are going after it and we intend to
get it. Salem s quota is two thirds of
the 1925, 900 allotted to Marion coun-
ty."
According to the plans as outlined,
no one in the city will be sighted and
the workers are so organized that If
there is not a favorable response at
the first call, either calls will be made
as for this third liberty loan there will
be no parleyIng-one is either for the
governments and willing to subscribe
or at least buy savings stamps or one
is pro-German, and there will be nc
middle course. Instructions to work,
ers include these suggestions.
vii Report at Noon
Besides the meetings of workers to
be held each noon at the First Metho-
dist church, for the public in general
there will be an interesting rally Tues.

will be made by two Canadian veter,
ans. Sergeant Major Christy of the 7th
Canadian battalion who enlisted Sept,

the trenches. He was first wounded in
Belgium in May, 1915, and later was
wounded seven times before being

Burke, a Canadian had the experience
of being captured and imprisoned by
the Germans and making his escape
back into the British lines. He is now
ON a short leave of absence. The men

1t was assumed that further 70
organizations as a short cut to the
unstinted use Of force preached by
President Wilson at Baltimore Satur-
day is ecming. With the appointment
of two new assistant secretaries of war,
it is likely that the machinery at the
department will be further straight
ened out to eliminate delays and use
less personnel.
The Inspector generals branch is
known to have had the aviation and
ordnance branches under watch fol
some time, hence it is possible that the
shakeup will affect those services
mainly.
Rumors of the department shakeup
followed close upon reorganization Of

tons from President Wilson, that body

HINDERDURG FORCED
TOQUICK ACTION BY
THREATENED ATTACK
His Attempt to Force Wedge
Places His Own Army In
Grave Danger
By j. w. R. Mason,

~1
Capital Journal Special Service.)
New York, April S.-General Foeh IS
threatening to develop a counter stroke
against Hindenburg s southern flank
in the area where the newly extended
German front joins the southwestern
corner of the old Hindenburg line.
This is the reason why the Germans
have begun their sudden activity aloaa
the Disc. There is no certainty for
Won Hindenburg that General Foeh
will start Il major attack in that region
but that threat has unquestionably
been made, probably by a new conccn
tration of a considerable force of al
lied troops.
~Hindenturg's present move in the
Disc district are in reality defensive
measures to secure local positions of
tactical value and to feel out General
Toch IS strength.
The situation facing Won linden
burg in this area contains the threat
to HIS own armies that he imposed up
on the allies during his advance
through Picardy. The main strategic
purpose of the German drive was 10
separate the British and French armies
at their point of contact and to roll
up the British right wing, throwing the
whole British line into a disorganized
mass. This plan failed. But in at.
attempting it Won Hindenburg moved
his southern flank so far to the west
that it has become for tactical purposes
a unit by itself.
Just as the French and British forces
were distinct units during the battle
of Picardy, so now the new southern
front of the Germans is distinct from
tn" old southern front which it Joins
near the Disc.
NV supply routes undoubtedly have
been organized and the lines of com.
muniration cannot be the same. If
therefore. General Foch can cut the
German southern flank where the old
and NV lines unite, he will have sey.
cred Won Hindenburg's armies exactly
~ Won Eindenburg hoped to isolate the
British from the French,
The newly won German front would
hereupon be in the same peril of an.
Inhalation hat Hindenburg hoped to
impose upon Field Marshal Haig' IS line.
This is the chief danger now threaten
ing the Germans. The mere POSSIBILITY
of such a catastrophe is sufficient to
exert a profound influence upon Won
Hindenburg's plans. He cannot con
tissue to slaughter his man power much
longer for offensive detectives. Any
weakening of the German Disc line
for adventures further west may give
General Foch an opportunity to over
whelm Won Hindenburg by a stroke
of genius.

''tear down the temple to destroy

the decisive peace no matter what
action other nations might take.
The liberty motor, Creel said, has
proved itself 100 per cent perfect and
