the biggest disappointments of the
campaign" said the Treasury review
tonight, "show that New York City
and New York State are failing to keep
up with the pace Of the rest Of the
country. The twelve New Jersey coun-
ties in the district have subscribed 81
per cent of their quota, and Fairfield
County, Conn. 81 per cent, but New
York State and New York City have
subscribed only 60 per cent and 81 per
cent respectively.
"Only the strongest kind of support
from large purchasers can put the New
York district over it's 100000, 900 mini
mum quota. The hope of the New York
committee is to exceed the maximum
mar of $1,5oo,ooo,ooo set for the sec.

members Of the committee believe this
can be accomplished"

couriers of the need of the Allies will
inspire the people Of the city to- buy,
buy, buy until the Second Federal Re-
serve District has taken its share OF
the nations burden.
All but eighteen of the American
soldiers will campaign for the loan in
other cities, where the need for awak-
ening, as shown in the official figures,
is not so pressing as in New York, al
though the entire country will have to
squirt tremendously to oversubscrlbc
the loan.
According to the tabulations for the
arst three weeks Of the loan, an
nounced last night in Washington by
Treasury officials, S2,283,301,s50 has
been subscribed in the twelve Reserve
districts. This aggregate shows an I'M
provement of $104 52a,850 over the pre-
viously announced total.
The S3,000,000,000 national minimum
will be raised at the present pace, but
speeding up everywhere will be neces-
sary if the popular goal of S5,000,00o,-
600 is to be pledged. Besides the tre
mendous moral effect that would arise
from large oversubscription. loan ad-
vocates point out that the larger the
amount of the oversubscription the
longer off will be the next loan.
The entire Second Federal Reserve
District has subscribed 63 per cent of
it's quota, and New York City only 81
per cent. Meantime. the Minneapolis
District has taken 121 per cent; St.
Louis, 112 per cent, and Kansas City,
1o4. Despite the laxity of the other
horoughs of the city, Queens forged
ahead to 161 per cent of its allotment,
and Richmond to l30 per cent. Long
Island, outside of New York City, has
filled 1873 per cent of it's share. The
district up to the present has sub
scribed almost 100000 less than in the
corresponding period of the second
loan.

SENATOR WALTER GUIoN.

1t is doubtful if more judlclous
or generally acceptable selection OF
a successor to the lamented Robert r..
Broussard, Louisiana deceased Uni
ted States senator, could have been
made by Governor Pleasant than Hon.
Walter Guion Of Assumption parish,
whose appointment was announced
last Monday; and certainly there Will
nowhere be greater satisfaction or
heartier approval elected by the gov.
ernor's choice than in this section OF
the state, where Judge Guion was
born and reared and where his flne
character and superior qualifications
are best known.
The conferring of this high honor
upon Judge Guion was not only
fitting and commendable act on the
governors part from a public and
civic standpoint, but it was partlcu-
larly meritorious and graceful IN an
individual and personal sense, because
Governor Pleasant may be SAID to owe
the auspicious beginning OF his sue
cessful career In statewide affalfs
largely to Judge Guion. When the
latter was elected attorney general OF
Louisiana, he appointed young Pleas
ant as his assistant, and from TINS
post the able and popular Shreveport
attorney won promotion suceessiVely
to the attorney generalshlp ana the
gubernatorial chair. Having tnus
been intimately associated with Judge
Guion for several years, the governor
yained first-hand knowledge OF the
conspicuous ability and worth OF the
! man whom he has now named as
incumbent of the seat IN
the national senate vacated by the de-
plC~able death of Senator Broussafd.
Judge Guion left for Washington
Monday evening, presenting his com
| mission and taking the oath OF ot1lce
in the senate on Wednesday. HIS
term of service will be only about
EIGHT months, or until the quailflca-
t;on of the successful candidate Tor
the Broussard succession at the NO
vember election. In this connection
| it NAV be truly said that Louisiana
will be fortunate if the man to De
| then chosen measures up even ap-
proximately to the standard OF gen
eral merit, capacity and fltness winch
characterizes the governors ap-
pointee.
AS district Judge, attorney general
of the state, and United States at.
torney for the eastern Louisiana DIS
trict, Judge Guion has rendered dis,
tinguished public service during .
period of thirty years, and it is eml.
nently appropriate that his official ca;
reer should be rounded out ane

PATRIOTIC UPHEAVAL.
Tense Feeling Prevalent Here Re-
Hected in Attack on Store.

The first public manifestation of
paGriotic antagonism toward un-
nat,1ralized German residents of this
occurred here Thursday
night. when the front Of a mercantile
establishment in Mississippi street
owned by a stock company composed
principally of German aliens was pro
fusely bedecked with pithy phrases IN
red and yellow paint. Among the
inscriptions thus applied TO show
windows and sidewalk were: If you
want to help the Kaiser, trade here,
and numerous others of the same
tenor. proclaiming the proprietors OF
the store in question to be registered
enemv aliens and suggesting that 1t
is the duty Of loyal Americans to pa
tronize loyal American merchants.
American flags were affixed to one
corner of the building, and beneath
them was painted: .'Take these
| down if YOU dare" The flags were
not removed. On the contrary, Fri
| day being Liberty Day, more flags
were hung out during the morning Dy

propertv owners relative to the lssu-
ance of an additional series of bonds
apgregating $4,000 in value, the
proceeds of which will be expended IN
improving and maintaining the gravei

therein took the trouble to go to the
polls and cast their ballots; but those
who did exercise the privilege sup
ported the proposition unanimously.
There were no votes polled IN the
