The Germans claim to have cap
tured 1873 Americans and to have
killed and wounded many more. and
so far there has been no official
American answer to the claim. This
situation will result in a revival Of
consideration at the war depart
ment Of the proposal that daily
statement be issued from the head
quarters Of the American expedi-
tionary forces. The explanation
heretofore given for the refusal to
accede to the proposal has been
that American troops are part Of
and are cooperating with the larger
French and British units and that
an independent American commu-
nique would necessarily duplicate
British or French statements.
It is realized. however. that Ger
man claims, unless specifically de-
MED from authoritative sources will
be regarded as statements Of fact,
with Inevitable resulting anxiety to
the people In this country. For that
reason. Secretary Baker is disposed
to reopen the whole question with
General Pershing. However it is
possible that instead Of daily state
ments on operations arrangements
will be made whereby enemy claims
Of similar nature may be dealt with
by the American commander.
It has been definitely decided
that as soon as American forces
in any. considerable number are
again acting as an independent unit,
a daily statement as to its activities
viii! be issued.

Reached $3,67S,65O,
and Coming Fast.

With the progress Of yesterday the
amount taken in Whcclings big drive
for the Third Liberty Loan is given as
S3,67S.65n. with tho committees Of the
ladies still doing more than their share.
That the total TO br reported after to-
days activities will 80 over the $1,000
0o0 mark was the coniidrnt belief at
Liberty Loan headquarters Monday
nighr.
The totals for the ladies for two
weeks was s1.GOO.SnO and their total for
yesterday ran to sG27O0 which makes
their grand total Sl.6T4.2O0. The small
est day of their work WAS recorded last
Tuesday with s5S.50n. and the amount
yesterday is not So small after all.
In the totals Of yesterday. $500 by
the local Italians was recorded and that
OF the Syrians $3.50. The figure for
the entire local campaign was given rs
Sl01.950 for yesterday. including all
committees
The appeal Of the officials for every
one u take more bonds is meeting with
success. and while many arc taking
bonds. yet others who have not taken
them are expected TO make out their
slips. Do not think because you are
late In getting your subscription in
that it will not be appreciated The
cause for which these bonds are being
sold is the thing to be considered, and

to do their share by taking bond
whether II be large or small. Every

one more shell for III" kaiser and will
tend to bring rh" war closer tn an end.

BOY MAKES AIRPLANE.

Monday evening the people of Roy
alton witnessed the, trial fight of a
new aeroplane constructed by Ed
ward Stobolka of that place. The
young man has been at work on the
machine during his spare moments
during the past few months and Mon
day night took it before the public
for the first time. The machine is of
the monoplane type and has high
powered motor in nit.
1t was taken to pasture near the
city and the maker was highly elated
to find that it flew on the first attempt.
He attained height of only about
eight feet from the ground but it was
mont because the machine was not
capable that kept the aviator from GO
ing higher. Stobolka expects to make
several flights in the near future and
it will not be wondered at if he makes
his appearance in this city in his ma
chine.
