Planning to Speed Up Loan.

Determined that the fourth liberty
loan drive in Washington shall be a
success and that the citizens of this
city shall not be denied the honor and
distinction of flying a fourth loan
honor flag, denoting that their city
has raised it's quota, the District loan
committee is busily engaged in form
ing plans to speed up the local drive.
Drastic steps are to be taken to Off
set the interference of the influenza
epidemic with it's original we'll laid
plans. The committee is urging it's
army of volunteer man and woman
workers to double their activities.
With this object in view series of
conferences is being held at the ii
street headquarters between members
of the local committee and members
of the various subcommittee.
One important decision of the COM
mittee is that which will increase the
efforts of the volunteers engaged in
promoting the sales of bonds in the
various government departments and
bureaus. An important conference
was held last night between the local
committee and the heads of the vari-
Gus departmental loan committees.
Among other things it has been de-
cided 10 utilize the more than $50
volunteer loan speakers by assigning
them to visit the various rooms where
the government employees work and
make Drle1 loan speeches anu appear
to the workers not to delay in pledg-
ing their subscriptions. In this way
the committee contends that the big
handicap brought about by the ban
on mass meetings and rallies will be
largely overcome.
The slogan from now on will be
BUY now The chairman of the
local loan committee declared today
that no one can make him believe
that there is a man or woman any
where who is so busy as to neces-
state delay in buying his or her
bond. IF yoyu are going to buy,
don't put it off. Buy now" he de-
clared.
The committee is eager to impress
upon the people of Washington the
urgency of promptly entering their
subscriptions and not waiting until
the last week. Whereas the commit
tee does not fear that Washington
will fail to raise it's $21.6O0.0 quota,
it is especially anxious for those who
are going to buy to do SO early and to
put the District over the top" early
in the campaign as an example to the
rest of the country.
committee soliciting subscriptions
branches in Washington. has reported
that fifty-One concerns have thus far
placed subscriptions through WASH
ington banks for a total OF $S27.O00
He predicts that this amount will be
more than doubled before the middle
of next week.

death has been offered thousands. In
nearly all cases death has been the
accepted alternative.
British victories in the holy lands
and the detection Of Bulgaria from
the central powers, they believe. will
go far to effect the complete liberia
ton Of enslaved persons who refuse
to adopt the creed of the Koran. The
visitors say they regard America as
a modern redeemer.
Heading the delegation are Nicholas
Kyriakides, wealthy shipowner of
Marrnora Island. and Christie Vasila-
caki, a member of the Greek pariia-
ment. They bring with them docu-
mentary evidence that the sufferlngs
of the enslaved Greeks surpass even
the atrocities heaped upon the Ar
menianS.
1--WE speak for more than 100000
men. women and children. who are
enslaved by the Turk and Bulgar,
said Nj. kyriakides.
"They occupy a most fertile land
larger than France. This territory
and the Greeks therein have been un-
der the domination of the Turks
since the DAYS of Mahomet."

D. SLOAN QUOTA
|SNOT HALF RAISED
With Over Half of Period
Gone, Committee Ex-
presses Concern.
TO MAKE new APPEAL

With the three-week subscription
period more than half gone, the fourth
liberty loan has not been one-half sub
scribed in Washington.
Members of the local loan committee
openly admitted today that the rails
ing of Washington's quota is now a
matter of serious concern and the en-
tire citizenship of the city is called
upon to aid in making this achieve
ment possible.
According to figures furnished by
all but seven OF the forty three local
banks the total Of actual subscriptions
tabulated in Washington up to 10
o'clock today was s12.233,o5O, which
shows an increase of $1.71O.540 over
the city's standing at the same hou:
yesterday.
Although this was a pleasing in
crease, the local committee has no
hesitancy in saying that the pace
must be maintained every day from
now until the end of the drive if the
campaign in the National Capital is
to be Il success.

GERMAN ALLIANCE
DISBANDS AT ONCE
inaI Action Held Up Through Dis
putC AS to Ownership
Of $4,000.

Philadelphia, April 12.-Dissolu-
ton of the National Gorman-Ameri-
can Alliance was agreed upon at Il
meeting of its executive committee
held yesterday afternoon in Turnge-
meinde hall here.
Final action in the disbanding of
the organization, which from its ma
tional headquarters in Philadelphia
extended into almost every state in
the Union, was deferred until today,
owing to a dispute over the DISPOSE
tion Of about $26,0 900 in cash be-
longing TO the alliance. The general
opinion. expressed by the members
attending the meeting was that the
funds should be turned over to the
Red Cross society.
Max Heinrich, editor Of the sun
tav Gazette, q German publication,
said:
Il believe that mem bers of the al
lance throughout the country are in
favor Of disarmament. The mherS
Of tho executive committee seem to
feel that there is nothing left for
them to do. Public sentiment. they
feel, is now 50 strongly against the
organization that it would he little
use to attempt to build up the organ
station again to what it once was,
and every week the alliance continues
to exist as an active organization just
so much more prejudice is raised
against German-American citizens of
his natiOn.'
Mr.. Heinrich said he was con-
Minced that there was no German as
%rciatiOn in the nation more loyal
than the alliance.
The meeting was secret and the
German language, it was said, was
used throughout.
