New York anwered the nations third

another Marne.
The simultaneous advent of the third
Liberty Loan with Americas entrance
into her second year of the great wa,
found the city at such patriotic pitch
as 1t had never reached before. 1t was
fervor that did not stop with lift
OF the heart or catch at the throat
but that extended clear down into the
r1ght-hand trousers pocket, put re-
slstless Itch into the pen-fngers and
communicated itself violently to the
check book.
Seventy-four millions for Uncle Sam

that much, or legal and binding con.
tracts to represent it, was under lock
and key when the Liberay Loan Com

other millions had been floating about
as freely as the airplanes from Min.
cola, which during the afternoon
played hide-and along tue skyline
bombing the street crowds with tons
of patriotism in print.
But it wasn't necessary to count
those paper millions in. Without them
the day already had broken enough
records. Seventy-four millions made a
happy enough contrast with the first

trate Enemy Attempt
to Gain North
of Albert

Intense local attacks at several
points Of the Picardy front cost
the Germans heavily in dead
and wounded yesterday without
changing the battle line materi-
ally.
The most striking development was
an attack on the extreme south
eastern hinge of the great salient,
hitherto comparatively quiet.
Here the French held a sharp
wedge protected by the Disc River
on the north and resting against
the St. Gobain Forest on the east.
The assault was delivered on a
front of about ten miles, from
Abbecourt to Barisis. After in

French retired from their ad-
vanced posts at Amigny, in the
centre Of the front assailed, to
prepared pOSlClOnS.
In spirited engagement, Paris re-
ports, the French held their
trenches on Mount Renaud, near
Noyon. Heavy attacks between

southwest of Montdidier, only re-
suited in leaving numerous Ger
man dead on the field.
There. was local fighting at several
points on the British front, espe-
cially at Aveluy, north of Albert.
They were all repulsed, with
heavy casualties to the enemy.
What seemed to be an imminent
major attack on Corbie failed to
develop under the British barrage.
IN the attack northwest Of Mont
dldler on Friday, says Paris Off
cial statement, many German COM
panies were reduced to below fifty
men. Maps on prisoners indicat-
ing the places to be reached on
certain days showed Paris as an
objective.
The enemy has given up, at least
temporarily, his costly attacks on
a wide front in an effort to reach
Amiens, or the railroad leading
thence to Paris by way of Cler-
mont.

"The decision of the American peo-
pie that it was their duty to join in
the great struggle of free people

Especial Correspondence

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April c.
Emperor Wilhelm is to come across
and help make the third issue of the
Liberty Loan big success. A thou
sand dollar bond is to be taken out
soon by Harvard, the funds for
which have already been provided by
the Kaiser himself.
In 1906, when German kultur was
batting round 1893 in the high
brow league, check for $25 900 from
the Berlin palace found it's way into
Harvard's Golfers. The income from
this propaganda is $1,000 annually
and has heretofore been spent in
keeping things tidy around the Ger
manic Museum. This year one thou
sand dollars of it will be put into
Liberty bonds. Some kindly soul has
volunteered to mail Wilhelm his
button.
