1T should be remembered that for

Peace Time Complication.
Americas problem Of peace reor

ways. To organize on a war basic
meant the building Of many factories
for producing munitions, construeting
hips. sending troops and developins
he sources Of food supply. It meant
rganization for the distribution OF
food, coal and other supplies in new
rhannels. At the same time the indus
tries that We had to organize were rel
atively few and the demand for goods
was pretty definitely known.
When we go back from a war or.
SANITATION to a peace organization IL
will not be a return to the same indus
trial conditions that prevailed before
The war. We shall have peace indus
tries Of quite q different type, and we
shall have to deal with the organiza-
ton Of industries in far greater num-
bers than those that were distinctively
associated with war output.

THIRD LOAN TO
OPEN APRIL s
Amount and Interest Rate Not
Yet Determined.
PLAN BIG DEMONSTRATION
Announcement BY McAdoo That
Amount Of Loan Is Dependent
Upon New Legislation Gives
Idea Of Size.

Washington-On April 6, the frs
anniversary of the United States en-
try in to the war, the Third Liberty
Loan will open. There will be cam
paign of three or four weeks.
In announcing the date Secretary
McAdOO said the amount of loan, the
interest rate and other features, such
as convertibility of bonds of previous
issues, maturity and terms of pay.
ment, are yet to be determined, and
that new legislation will be necessary
before plans can be completed.
The fact that the amount of the
loan is dependent on further legisla-
ton indicates that it will be for more
than $3,6OO,000,000, the remainder of
authorized but unissued bonds, and
the fact that certificates of indebted.
ness now being sold in anticipation
of the loan bear AZ per cent, affords
some indication Of the interest rate
How large the loan shall be de-.
ponds largely, however, on the fate
of the. pending War Finance Bill,
carrying an appropriation of a half
billion dollars, and action on the Rail-
road Bill, with it's appropriation of
similar amount.
Although Mr.. McAdoo made no
specific announcement, it is now taken
for granted in official circles that
there will be but one more loan be-
fore June 80, the end Of the fiscal
year.
The statement concerning the date
OF the campaign was made at this
time, Secretary McAdoo explained, to
give every community time to pre-
pare for the big bond sale and he
strongly advocated popular demon
STATIONS of patriotism on the day of
the opening of the loan and the second
year of war;
After stating the date of the CAM
paign opening, the Secretary con-
tinued:
1.-THE amount, terms and conditions
OF the loan nave not yet been decided
because these features are dependent
upon further legislation. l expect to
ask the Congress at an early date to
grant the necessary additional au-
thority. OF course, the opening date
of the campaign is somewhat depend
ent upon the new legislation, but it is
hoped and believed that the matter
can be considered and demonstrated
in ample time to begin the campaign
on the date suggested. April 6 will
forever be consecrated day in Amer
lean history and it seems peculiarly
appropriate that the opening of the
second year of our participation in
this war for the honor and rights of
America and the freedom of the world
should be celebrated with a nation
wide drive for another Liberty Loan.

]. 5. TROOPS IN
ANOTHER RAID
Both Sides Suffer Casualties
After Sharp Fighting.
AMERICANS BLAZE AWAY
Four Prisoners Taken BY Americans
Captured German Declares Series
Of Attacks Will Be
Made.

American Army in France-Anoth.
er German raid on the American line
was made in the Chemin des Danes
sector. After sharp fighting the
enemy retired, leaving four prisoners,
two of whom were wounded.
The Americans lost some killed and
number slightly wounded or miss
ing. All were New Englanders.
Three companies of shock troops,
one of which had been brought from
Laon by motor cars for the attack,
came up behind heavy barrage
which had been put down along the
left flank of the American forces. Aft
er sharp fighting the enemy retired.
The American and French artillery
effectively counter-shelled the enemy
during the attack, which was localized
and during his retirement.
1t is not permitted to disclose the
number of American casualties. One
of the prisoners captured said that
this was the beginning of series of
similar raids on larger scale along
the western front.
The recent raids in the Toul sector
and Chemin des Danes, have demon
strated that the American soldier, not
withstanding his previous inexperi-
ence, now is perfectly at home in
gas mask and able to fight just as
we'll with it as without it. In so
quickly reaching this stage the Amer
leans have shown their usual adapta.
bility.
There were many instances of per-
sonal bravery. A lieutenant, a SER
geant and two privates were in dug
out, when some Germans looked in.
One cried in good English:
Come out, Americans!"
The four Americans blazed away
with their automatics, then rushed
the entrance to stumble over the
bodies of the men, whom they had
killed by their quick re-
sistance.
During the bombardment. which
hardly could have been more terrific,
two men who were concealed in a
shell hole were buried by dirt thrown
by another exploding projectile. They
shouted for help and it came quickly.
Their comrades left the shelters, from
which they were ready to leap into
action the moment the attacking in
fantry appeared, and exhumed the
buried soldiers with stones, mud,
earth, pieces of trees and shell splin-
ters spattered about them.
Notwithstanding the fierceness of |
the fight at close quarters, not more
than one bayonet was used, and this
one on a German. The Americans,
using their automatic pistols, sent
bullets into the German attackers with
good aim, in spite of the excitement.
Rifle bullets accounted for many
more.
