FOR
A THIRD ISSUE
LIBERTY LOAN
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 22.-
While nothing definite has been given
out as yet concerning the particulars
of the third Liberty loan, which is ex-
pected to be launched in the near fu-
ture, officials of the federal reserve
bank here already are organizing their
forces and making ready for the drive.
According to these officials the first
loan required educating the people,
not only to the governments need of
money but as the meaning of a govern
ment bond. The United States was
not a bond buying country-that is
bonds were not bought by the general
public. The second loan found a quick
er response in selling almost double
the amount of bonds to twice as many
buyers, and those in charge of the
campaign in the Twelfth Federal re-
serve district believe that the public
pulse has now SO quickened that the
third Liberty loan viii be greeted with
real enthusiasm.
There are two general classes upon
whom special efforts will be centered
in the third loan They are, first those
who have not bought any government
bonds; and second, those who have
not invested enough. The others who
have bought according to their ability,
can be relied upon to do their part in
the third loan.
Governor James K Lynch of the
federal reserve bank has not received
any definite information concerning
the third 1oan as to amount, interest
it will bear, or time 1t will be offered
to the public. He feels certain, how
yer, that the third loan will not be Of
fered before March I, and possibly as
late as April I.
'1f the citizens of the United States
fully realized the crisis that we are
now facing, could understand what it
means if we lose the war and how i'm
pOrtant it is that every energy be bent
not only to winning the war but win
ming it quickly, thousands would form
in line in front of our banks the first
day the third Liberty loan is offered"
said a prominent banker in a recent
Liberty loan conference.

SACCHAHINE NOT LIKED
BY ITALIAN PEOPLE
(By Associated Press)

ROME, Jan 25. (By MaiD-Italg7 IS
supply of sugar mixed with sacchar-
inc has finally been consumed, not be
cause anybody liked the mixture but
because Food Controller Crespi forced
the demand by withdrawing ordinary
white or granulated sugar from the
market Under directions of the con-
troI4er large quantity of sugar was
mixed with saccarine in order To ef-
feet a sugar saving.
Notices were issued explaining this
fact and also Ghat saccharine was not
harmful, as had been supposed After
a trial the public pronounced the new
war S@gar 'uneatable and refused to
buy it So it was kept in storage until
after Christmas when Crespi with
drew all other sugar from the market.
In desperation the public bought sac
charine sugar. But it is not expected
that the BacchariBe bitter-sweet sugar
experiment will be repeated.

enactment of the reciprocal draft
measure to Join the British forces vol
UNFAIRLY 1t is during this period that
the mission plans to launch a nation
wide campaign.
To aid in this work an effort is being
made to obtain the services OF the
American "Feur-Minute Men," who are
expected to join in a British Broth
ers' week. giving the mission the
services of $4,000 speakers. N addi
ton patriotic moving pictures will be
flashed before 13,0GG 600 persons dai1s
and members of the mission, aided III
many cases by friendly action by state
councils of defense, will increase their
efforts.
In urging the speeding up of British
and Canadian enlistments General
White said;
What we need at present is man
power. If the Britisher enlists with
US ne can get 10 Europe quickly and
be made effective much sooner than
if he waits a few weeks longer for the
draft
Branch depots of the mission have
been established in every principal
center of the United States, each
depot being in charge of an officer
who has seen active service. Most of
these officers, according to a state
ment given out at the Chicago office,
wear on their sleeves that badge of
suffering, the wounded stri2e and
many of them are doing recruiting
duty while on sick leave from the
battle lines.

MINING CASE ON TRIAL
BEFORE JUDGE JENNINGS

The case of T. J. Donohue and Ed
mund Smith, attorneys of Valdez, VS..
c. Tjosevig, on trial before the district
court at Juneau, is of particular inter-
est to Cordovans.
The case in question is the tying up
by injunction of $4,000 claimed by
.Tjosevig as due him from the sale or
a mine in the Copper River region
which netted $4,000. Donohue and
Smith at one time held a percentage
interest in the mine, but during the
past five years. it is claimed. they have
had no connection whatever with
Tjosevig, who kept up the assessments
on the property and eventually adyer-
tised all claimants on the property
who failed to keep up their interest in
the mines. The plaintiffs did not re-
spond when advertised out by the de-
fendant, but now claim, since the sale
of the property, that they had an oral
agreement for certain percentage of
the property if sold
M. J Lund, a Seattle attorney, rep
resents Tiosevig.

HISTORIC CITY

SURRENDERED

LONDON, Feb. 22.-An official
bulletin issued today states that the
British forces in the East have cap
tured the city of Jericho. The Aus
tralians entered the city yesterday,
continues the statement, encountering
but little opposition. Later the Aus
tralians established themselves along
the River Jordan and at Wadiaujo
The capture of Jericho has little sig
nificance, aside from the historical iIa.
portance of the place, and it's connec-
tion with the British plans to free the
Holy Land from Turkish domination.

BRITISH AIDED
,RY NE " TREATY
(By Associated Press)


CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-More than 10,
900 British subjects resident in the
Omitted States have enlisted in the
lighting forces of Great Britain and
Canada, with the probability that the
reciprocal draft agreement which has
just been reached between the United
States, England and Canada will canse
these figures to leap upward rapidly,
according to statement made here by
the British-Canadian recruiting mis-
sion. These figures, however, are con-
sidered low by members of the Chi
cago division headquarters of the mis-
sion, which announces that there are
no less than 10000 citizens of the
British empire in the United States
eligible for service.
British and Canadian subjects in this
country cannot possibly escape liza
bility for service, according to General
w, A. White, head of the British
Canadian recruiting mission. Congress
having acted favorably on the recipro-
cal draft agreement, he stated in dis
patch to the Chicago division, the Brit
ish subject has become much more
liable for service than the American.
With the announcement that agree
ment on the reciprocal draft treaties
had been reached, the energies of the
recruiting mission were doubled in an
effort to get as many men as possible
to enlist without awaiting the draft.
The commission hopes to double the
number Of British enlistments in this
country before the draft becomes eff
fective
Under the new reciprocal arrange
ment, the Chicago officials of the COM
mission point out, British subjects,
for the first time, are placed on an
equal footing the world over" The
same age limits and other conditions
British and Canadian sub
jects in their home countries will be
applied to those in the United States,
making all natives of the United King
dom who are between the ages OF 20
and 40 years eligible, but subject to
the same exemption rights as men liv-
ing in England or Canada
This is a perfectly fair arrange :
ment," said General White in his tele-
graphic instructions, 'for it compels
every man who claims British citizen {
ship to place himself on practically the
same footing as his fellow-countrymen {
at home" t
According to General White, British {
subjects will be given sity days after {
