Third Liberty LooD To Be
ODe Of Tremendous Size.

New York, Feb. 16-Because il
is expected the third Liberty loan
will be "of tremendous size" a pro-
portionate effort is being planned to
insure its overwhelming success, it
was announced by the Liberty Loan
Committee here to-day.
A feature Of the coming drive for
Liberty dollars" will be one of the
most intensive advertising cam
poigns in history, it was stated.
This will be imperative because Of
che great variety of demands upon
public attention at this time, it was
said.
A special endeavor will be made
TO have users Of newspaper and
other varieties OF advertising, who
assisted generously in the first and
second Liberty loan campaigns, con-
tribute still greater allotments Of
space, the committee announced.
Within a month or two the third
liberty loan drive will be launched
in this country and will be perhaps
on a larger scale than those Of the
first two issues. Arrangements are
being perfected for this drive and it
is gratifying to know that here in
West Tennessee time has been ta-
ken by the forelock and that plans
are being fully made to meet the
needs Of the situation,

Perhaps the third liberty lean
will be more readily subscribed to
than were the first and second. The
people generally are becoming bet
ter acquainted with the features Of
these loans and with the purpose to
which the money is being applied.
In addition the war and its horrors,
the enemy and its treachery. have
been brought closely home to the
people Of this country during the
past few months. Doubtless with

Sailor Now German Prisoner.

Men serving on the destroyer Jacob
Jones of the American fleet in foreign
waters had a terrific fight with the sea
after their ship had been sunk by a
German submarine. The attack came
suddenly, late in the afternoon. AL
though every effort was made TO re-
turn the fight and save the ship, she
finally settled and went down. Many
of the men got into the boats and on
the RATS and a great number were
seen swimming in the sea. Two Of
these were picked up by the Germans.
One of these men, John Francis Muir
ply, is now held as prisoner by the
Germans. After having gone through
the ordeal of being torpedoed Murphy
made a heroic struggle to save mem
bers of the ships crew. No further
news has been heard from him beyond
the fact that he Is held prisoner in
Germany. Murphy was q ships cook,
