had been in almost constant atten-
dance for more than 72 hours. Many
notables Of the church were nearby
in the home which recently was pre-
sented to Archbishop Ireland, by
Pensioners who were under his
charge for thirty-two years.
Despite his years and his weak
ened condition, the physical resist
ance of the aged clergyman, amazed
his physicians. Last April after he
returned from st. Augustine, Florida
where he spent the winter to recup-
crate from a breakdown, he became
gravely i'll. After his life was dis

Less than q, week after he left his

in the imposing ST. Paul cathedral.
He continued In frail health until
about two weeks ago, when he grad
ually began to grow weaker. Last
Thursday his physicians announced
that his, condition had reached a
critical stage. Since then their bull
letfns were practically the same. The
ends always seemed = a few hours
away. 81
Members of the archbishop's
household declared this forenoon
that arrangements for the funeral
would not be completed until word
was received from a number of
church dignftaries who attended the
funeral Of Cardinal John M. Farley,

most Rev. John Ireland, Roman
Catholic Archbishop of st. Paul, died
at 1855 o'clock this morning in his

: Death came quietly A score of
prominent Catholic clergymen were
at the bedside of the 80-year- old
prelate, who for many years, was a
vigorous and commanding figure in
the religious and civic department Of
the Northwest. Heart disease and
stomachN trouble caused his death.
For three days Archbishop Ire
lands physicians kept their patient
alive by the use of oxygen. Three
times he rallied from seemingly
fatal sinking spells. Late last night
the final relapse came. Wholly un-

been abandoned in order that in ad-
ditional time may be given local
boards to correct any errors made in
assigning serial numbers to the
registrants.
Since men between 10 and. SO are
to be the first called to the colors,
the drawing will have less effect
upon determining the order Of the
call than did that for the nearly L.
100000 men who turned q before
last June 5. Order numbers for all
the 100000 men will be drawn.
but youths Of 18 and men between
36 and As will not be classified un-
til the boards have given cIassifica-
ton to all the men between 10 and
Sc who are the first TO receive their
Questionnaires. In the meantime
many Of the 19 to So classes will
have been inducted into service.
Reports received today by Provost
Marshal General Crowder from
nearly all states indicated that sat
isfactory progress is being made by
local boards in attaching, serial num-
bers to the registration cards. No
date for the drawing can be fixed
until this work is completed.
Only five states have now to re-
port the totals Of the registration.
Unless their returns show sharp de-
creases under the official estimate
the total registration will exceed the
original estimate of 12,778,O0Ug ..r>

McAdoo Opens Campaign.

New York, Sept. 25.-Six billion
dollars is the minimum amount
which the people Of the United
States are asked to subscribe for
the fourth Liberty loan, according to
an announcement by VIM. G. Nc
Adoo, secretary Of the treasury, in
stirring address here last night
outlining the governments plan for
the campaign, which starts Satur-
day. =;
Asserting that without this vast
sum 1--WE cannot lick the kaiser" the
secretary made a special appeal for
the subscriptions Of corporations
and wealthy individuals, as returns
from the third Liberty loan ind1cat-
ed that wealthy corporations and
persons of large means had not re-
sponded "commensurately with their
abilities to help"
More Big Subscriptions.
He pointed out that of the 18,000,-
600 Americans who subscribed for
the last loan, only 22,500, including
corporations, bought bonds in excess
OF $4,000.
ct would be preposterous," he
said, ito say that there are only 23,-
500 men, women and corporations In
America able to lend more than
$4,000 each to their government in
Liberty bonds
Mr.. McAdoo also condemned the
practice Of "swindlers and unscrup-
uIous and unpatriotic people who
contrary to the urgent request Of the
treasury department had induced
holders of liberty bonds to exchange
them for stocks or investments Of
doubtful value"
He pointed out that these opera
tions forced the treasury to buy the
bonds thus thrown upon the market
in order to protect the market and
the credit Of the government.
Thus the treasury's available re-
sources from the Loan" he declared.
'are depleted and forced in un-
worthy channels, oftentimes in wild
cat enterprises, to the injury Of the
American people and to the detri-
nent of the war. We must create a
healthy public opinion which will
reprehend such practices. We must
provide the machinery and the
means through which those who
have to sell their bonds may do SO
and get the highest possible price
for them, while at the same time
protecting the innocent investors"

armies were active early today and
increased artillery action was noted
along the lines Of the old st. Mihiel
sector. Bright skies have replaced
the clouds and rains Of recent days
and aerial observers were sent out
by both the Americans and the Ger
mans. -
German fliers extended their op-
erations in some cases behind the
lines, but sharp countering by the
Americans gave them little opport-
unity for close operation or for
Photographic work. Infantry patrols
as well as aviation groups were ac-
tive between the lines. The artil-
lery on both sides bombarded OBJ
