Croisilles, Bullecourt, Lagnicourt, and
the left wing pushed in the direction

the enemy pinch on this salient he
will be able to hold a straight line

Special to The Herald.
ATLANTA, Ga, April 1.-The great
ly increased size Of the American
force abroad, and the aasty prepara-
tions to rush as many available men
across as possible to meet the pres
ent situation on the west front, has
greatly increased the governments
daily war expense, and has rendered
more imperative than ever the raising
of large sums for the carrying on OF
the war.
The Third Liberty Loan campaign,
which opens on Saturday, the ami
versary Of the entrance OF America
into the war, but brings the total war
Indebtedness Of the nation up to $8,-
56O,S02, ,053.96, according to figures OF
the treasury department up to March
II; and of this sum, fully one half
has been in turn lent to the allied
governments for the purchase of sup
plies in this country.
In spite of the vast preparations
which have already been made, and of
the first national army quartered and
trained, besides the expenses incur
red by troop movements and the ex-
penses OF the regular army and the
national guard, the nation is very lit
tie in debt compared to foreign coun-
tries.
The new loan must be raised quick
ly. There must be no holding back on
the part of loyal Americans in face of
the great peril that now threatens In
France,-a peril that has loomed
much larger in the past two weeks
than at any time since the second of
August, 1914. The money must be
forthcoming: and the three billions
asked for at the present time must be
oversubscribed to the largest possible
figure.
There are more loans to come; and
they are apt to follow closely upon
one another. The quicker America
acts. the shorter will be the war;
This much is granted by all who are
guiding the destinies of the govern.
ment through this dark hour.
The Third loan will be a renewed
challenge of the American people to
the Kaiser on the anniversary of
Ameica's defiance. II will mean more
than mere dollars and cents; for 1t
will show Germany and the hordes of
the Hun that the blacker the outlook
seems the more determined win be
the United States to fight the war TO
victory in spite OF the cost.
