SIXTH DISTRICT PLANS
BRISK CAMPAIGN FOR
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
Georgia May Be Called on to
Sell S52,OOO,OOO of Next
Bond Issue Drive Gets Un-
der Way on September %

Despite the fact that the fourth Lib
erty Loan will be approximately twice
as large as the third loan, the Sixth
federal reserve district is making prep
arations to complete the campaign sue
eessfully within three weeks-one week
less than the drive which put over the
third issue of the bonds,
Ii is now expected that the nation
will be asked to subscribe to $4,000, O0O,-
900 worth of the Liberty Bonds, which
would make the quota for the Sixth dis
trict about $3.50, 900. Georgia's share
of this amount would, therefore, be ap-
proximately s52,0O0,0O0, as against $685.
900, 900 in the third loan.
In the last drive the district oversub-
Scribed it's quota by a wide margin, TAX
ing $135, 900, 900 worth of the bonds,
while Georgia went "over the top" in
splendid fashion.
When the three weeks drive opens
on September %, all arrangements have
been completed for the most strenuous
campaign of the war loan program.
Practically all the good features of the
previous campaigns have been retained
in the plans for the fourth Loan drive,
while the mistakes have been rectifed
Work has been going on for several
weeks in the Sixth district committees
headquarters in the Chamber of Com
merce building. NJ. B. Wellborn, chair
man of the district committee, maintains
his offices at the Federal Reserve bank,
while the executive chairman, W. c.
War1law, and the publicity manager. St.
Elmo MaSSengale, have their headQuar-
ters on the fifth floor of the Chamber
of Commerce building.
Thorough Organization
Most of the workers in the fourth
Loan drive will be veterans of the pre-
ceding three loan campaigns and all
the 427 counties and &c zones have been
thoroughly organized with chairmen and
sub-chairmen in charge of the detailed
arrangements.
The two special trains bearing war
relics, wounded soldiers, speakers, Y.
NJ. c. A. men, marines, sailors and SOL
diers, will be features of the campaign,
covering the entire district, but visit
ing none of the places on their sched-
ule of last spring. w. f. Harrington
and G. A. Howell will have the direc
ton of these trains. which were so
successful in arousing interest through
out the district in the Third loan drive.

CHICAGO, Sept 14.-Over-confidence

today by George Creel. chairman of the
committee on public information in an
address to members of the Chicago

He branded as reasonable any action
by the individual or organization which
is not basically actuated by win-thewar
motives. Organized disloyalty, he said,
has been eradicated. The war must
be won "over here" he said, and'a unity
of all interests on this side viii put the

LONDON. August 3.-Indlcations
are Iaccumulating that the German
general stan intends the war to end
this year-win, lose or draw. One
basis for this belief lies in the way
in which the Germans are thought
to have used up their troops since
March. 1t is argued that no general
would undertake such a manner of
fighting unless he expected immedi-
ate peace, for after the summers
losses the German army has reached
such a condition that 1t is doubtful
whether the yearly recruitment can
replace them. much less increase the
army in numbers.
The Germans present yearly re-
cruitment is estimated as being be-
tween 100000 and 100000. They have
used seventy-two divisions in the
Soissons-Massiges offensive, eleven of
which were drawn from Prince Rup-
precht's army Eight of these have
been used twice.
Hun Numerical Superiority Slight.
According to a military estimate.
Evening star., 1918-08-04

more optimistic than the one usually
given, 1t IL said that the German nu-
merical superiority on the western
front is now very slight. 1t also is
affirmed that the bulk Of the army
has deteriorated greatly. having been
SKINNED so often for storm troops
that only poor material is left, while
the fewer of the storm troops are
either dead, wounded or prisoners.
These arguments lend additional sup
port to the policy of continuous Of
fensive activity by the allies in or
der to endeavor to break completely
the German morale before the win
ter.
The second stage of the battle of
the Rheims salient began yesterday
when Gen. Foch again attacked the
German position north of the Ourcq.
French feeling is highly optimistic
regarding the new attack 1t is
stated that the Germans must now
retreat. to the yesle If not to the
Aisne. for Foch's new positions COM
mand the country to the north. Only
time will show whether the Germans
contemplated this withdrawal before
the attack was launched. If not there
is every foundation for the French
optimism. Renewed aggressiveness
by Foch means that the initiative
still remains in his hands. 1t had
been expected that the Germans
would endeayor to seize it again for
a final attempt to defeat the allies.
