War Savings Campaign Re-
cord First s3,OOO.OO0 Day.

"The War Savings Campaign
has reached its first 100000 day
as shown by today's report of re.
ceipts by the Treasury Depart
ment. Sales Of the saving stamps
in the past three days have
been: S2,205, 900 S2,297,000 and
S3,O49, 900.
"Three million a day from the
thrift stamps provides the Treas
ury with about one tenth of the
entire amount now being expend
ed by the nation for the war.
While S3,OO0,O00 is only three
cents a day for every man, wom-
an and child in the country, the
war is only 80 cents per capita a
day.
"The National Saving Com
mittee, delegated by the Treasury
to enlist 10O,O00,000 investors in
the "baby bonds'' anticipates
soon reaching the S6,000,000 a
day rate necessary to place the
100000, ,000issue within a year.
This will be 6 cents per capita a
day.
"The sale of these stamps will
finance the Governments entire

The current Treasury receipts
from their sale are already averag-

The message Of the third Lib
srty loan-its meaning, purposes,
and operat;ons-is to be carried
to rural districts of tie United
States through approximately 100,
700 schoolhouse meetings on the
night of April y, six days after
the official opening of thei drive.
It will be the first time in..history
bat all rural schoolhouses will
have been given over on the same
night to a national Government
Meeting.
A letter sent by Secretary Nc
Adoo to all rural school direc-
tors in the nation, asking them to
cooperate with their localLiberty
loan organization in arranging
Liberty loan rallies for that night
has produced a food of favorable
responses. Not single school
official has declined to assist in
helping make the plan success.
Local Liberty loan committees
will cooperate with the school
officials in arranging the meet
ing. Speakers who understand
all the details concerning the loan
campaign will be provided.
Schoolhouse bells will be rung,
Ibonfires will be lighted in the
school yards, patriotic songs will

to enliven the meetings. Explain
atory literature will be distributed

Americans Hold Ground Cap
tured in Sharp Thrust.

American troops have made
their first permanent advance in.
to the German positions on the
WESTERN front. Northeast of
Badonvillers, in the Luneville
sector, trenches which the enemy
was forced to abandon, have been
consolidated with the American
first line. Repeated American
raids on this sector and the effeo-
tive work Of the American gun.
ners forced the Germans to give
up the trenches. German efforts
to regain the lost positions were
repulsed by General Pershlng's
men.
The new position gives the
American and French troops
higher ground from which to
operate against the common foe.
Badonvillers is eight miles west
of the German frontier and is al
most directly west of Strassburg
capital of Alsace. The American
position here is about eighteen
miles southeast of the Rhine
Marne canal, where the Americans
first entered the trenches last
November.
Since the American forces have
advanced and consolidated their
lines in the Luneville sector, there
have been no reports Of unusual
activity in the position occupied
by General Pershing's men.

War Rally in New Orleans

most enthusiastic audience thai
ever assembled in New Orleans,
the Louisiana War Conference,
held under the auspices of the
Council Of National Defense, was
brought to a close in the Authena'
cum Saturday night with stirring
addresses by Secretary Houston,
Of the Department of Agriculture
Lieutenant Paul Perlgord, OF the
French army; Gov. Pleasant; T.
A. Harris, State Superintendent
of Education and st. Clair Adams.
AS a concrete result, commun- =

to instruct every school teacher

vices in each schoolhouse one day
in each week.
After declaring that his present
tour convinced him that the peo-
pie of the country are solidly be-
hind President Wilson, Secretary
Houston roundly scored the men
who would make a profit out of
this terrible tragedy.

This declaration by Secretary
Houston was greeted with wild
applause. AS man, the audi
enoe rose to its feet, and it was
sever al minutes before the storm
Of applause subsidized.
Following a review of Ger
manY's successive declarations of
war during 1914, Mr.. Houston
emphasized the fact that her chal.
lenge to America must be the
last.
"Is Germany crazy, or are her
people living in a different world,
with different thoughts and con-
ceptions Of justice'" was one of
the leading questions asked by
the secretary.
''Pacifist and soap box orators
will not give us peace-if they
could we would have gotten peace
through Russia. These classes
of people only hamper President
Wilson and it is the duty of real
Americans to suppress them, and
stand squarely behind the great
man in Washington whose duty

ing with Germany's brutal met.
hods, and lead us to a successful
termination of the war.
"Our national household must
be clean-thcre cannot be any
profiteers in it. They must be
cleaned out.''
Secretary Houston closed his
address by oomplimenting the
members of the State Council on
the efficient manner in which
they have organized, and the able
manner they are meeting the
problems that confront the State
of Louisiana.
