LOAN CAMPAIGN
TO BE PROMPT
Arrival of French Legion
aries Already Stirs
Enthusiasm.

The liberty bond campaign for the
fourth issue will begin September y
as announced. Reports that the date
was to be postponed. with various
reasons credited, chiefly the fact that
the campaign date and the draft
drawing were so close together that
the draft might weaken interest in
the loan, were denied by Secretary
McAdoo yesterday.
The Treasury Department does not
believe that the fact that several mill
lion men are about to be called into
the army will affect the loan, except
possibly to stimulate it. Their going
will be a daily reminder to those at
home of the need for further denial
and patriotic subscriptions TO the war
finance issues. Additional encourage
ment is found in the enthusiastic
way in which members OF the army
have responded on the earlier issues
The department feels that these mil
lions OF men in the army may sub
scribe a greater amount than the
same millions out Of IT.
Arrangements for making the cam
paign the greatest war loan vet are

American Troops
 NOW Hold Sector
 OnMeuSe Heights
lBy ReyIew Leased vIrel

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. April A. American forces now are occupying a sector on the Mouse heights. south of Yer dun.
 This announcement was releas- ed for publication tonight, simul- taEeOusly with a statement that the enemy raided one of the Am erican listening posts in this sec tor after a heavy bombardment.
 The raid was made agaist one of the few positions in this region where it is feasible. because of the location to conduct operations without heavy losses to the at tacking forces.
 The enemy first vigorously bomb arded the American first line and communication trenches zig-zag- ing uT the hillside, and then sent over a raiding party. which swarmed about the listening post
 Further progress of the enemy was halted by a strong fire from the American first and second lines. and. as a consequence. the enemy can hardly claim success. Because of the topography of the Meuse heights region, there has been little severe fighting there for many months. and the Oppos- ing forces took advantage of the inactivity to construct fine dug outs. many of them being lighted by electricity. Each side enjoys the advantage of excellent obser- vatiOn posts, and shells echo among the surrounding hills. that are covered with spring flowers.
 The other American sectors were reported qiet today. The Germans sent in few shells in the sector northwest of TOul, but the enemy airplanes were fairly active in pa- trolling.

 The king said that not only haG this in itself been of great value. but the way in which the assistance had been rendered made it doubly valuable. The whole Italian people had been impressed with character of the men sent here by the Ameri- can people to do the work.
 Italy" the king continued, feels T very warm spirit of understand ing and sentiment for America. ta:y delights to think of America as the ally of Italy and knows that the American army and navy are len dering great assistance to her allies
 The American Red Cross is the messenger telling Italy in very practical way that America is with her. heart and soul. The Italian people are profoundly grateful fc' 1t all. It is a distinct contribution to the winning of the war It is a supreme expression of international sympathy and good will.

ITALY REGARDS SPEECH AS NEW PEACE PROPER
Italian Diplomats Point Out Proofs of Inconsistency Contained in Remarks of Count Czernin.
nRv Review Lensed NYIrel

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Ttaly. like the other allies. regards the recent speech of Count CZernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister as merely another phase of the TeutOnic peace offensive. An official dispatch from Rome today says:
 Italian political circles consider the speech of Count Czernin as the clever est manifestation of Austro-German prO-peace propaganda. In spite. how ever. Cf the apparently graceful tone of CZernin's polemic with President Wilson in order to assure him that Aus tria recognizes his sympathies for her. the Italian press finds that the Austri- an pTcmier's acceptance of the four fundamental principles of President Wilson's second message is flatly con tradicted by the very recent actions of Austria In fact tremendous con- centration of forces is being made against Italy and Count CZernin de- clared in his speech that the French and Italian aspirations are foolish UtOpias" The Austro-German minis ter. after theoretically admitting some of the maximalist points at Brest-Lit- Ovsk. has immediately occupied a large section of Russian territory. thus show ing once more that there is never a correspondence between words and deeds ol the part of Germany and Aus tria. The Austrian press at the same time discusses the colonial problem in way as to put Austria in the same line with Germany in regard to the i'm perialistic aims of the Central empires.
 ''The Italian press finds that the al- leged respect for the integrity of other nations on the part of Austria cannot be reconciled with the repeated asser- tions that Italian provinces must be occupied and kept At Gratz, a Ger mar commission has passed a resolu- ton to the effect that Trieste must be assumed to the Central empires by further rectification of the Italian iron tier. 2 he same motion advocates the to the Adriatic shores of Germanic populations to replace the Italian and Slavic elements living there. The irreducible contradictions between words and actions CT projects is thus emphasized"

KANSAS CITY, April 4.-Fire to- night destroyed three city blocks of buildings in the wholesale district. known as the West Bottoms" be- fore firemen gained control Twenty six buildings were either destroyed or badly damaged and many others suffered smaller losses
 The origin of the fire and the place it started are not known definitely.
 There were reports that the origin was incendiary and that the fire start ed in four different places within the burned area, but neither police nor fire department offiicals would verify these rumors.
 One fireman was believed to have been buried and three others injured. one seriously, when the wall of a large building in the burning area fell. The three injured men were taken to a hospital.
 Those who would hazard an esti- mate of the loss considered that while many of the burned buildings were old, the contents were valuable. Es- inmates of the loss ranged from $2.- 5O0,O00 to S7.OOO.OO0, but some persons declared the estimates wild guess work"
 The warehouse occupied by the Ab- ernath Furniture company was in flames when the first alarm was turned in
