GERMANY FACES BIG CRISIS
Gap Between Political Parties Be-
comes Chasm Too Wide
to Be Bridged.

Amsterdam.-The German throne
itself may be hanging in the balance.
The German government Is confronted
by one CT the greatest crises in it's
history as result of ths. conflict be-
tween the political government and
the high command of the army, and
the necessity of making a decision
that will solve the gigantic problem
rests with the kaiser himself
If the German papers correctly mir
ror the situation, the test which the
Bolsheviki have made of Germany's
attitude toward the principle of no
annexations has thrown Germany into
political turmoil
It is reported generally that Cen
eral Won Ludendorff, ais leader of the
former group, has gone so far as to
threaten the resignation of himself
and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg il
further countenance is given even 20
such views as those advanced by men
of the type of DR.. Won Kuehfmann and
Count Czernin, the German and Aus
. TRAN foreign ministers.
At the same time, the views of Won
Kuehlmann and Czernin rail to satisfy
the German Socialists, who regard
their middle-of-the-road policy as
trickery, and who are determined that
the spirit of the Reichstag resolution
must be followed sincerely and with.
out qualification CT reserve.

THE EYE OF THE NATION
is ON BARRY COUNTY
This County's Quota for the Third
Liberty Loan Bonds Is $184,600.

All is now set for the great Third
Liberty Loan drive for 3,000,000,000
with it's oversubscriptions.
Every county in every state in the
Union, and every town and city in
every county, is listed at headquar-
ters of the Liberty Loan Organiza-
tion at St. Louis, and at the Treasury
Department at Washington.
Each town, city and county has had
the quota of bonds it must take al
lotted to it, and each will be expected
and must take the bonds assigned.
The financiers everywhere expected
the issue to be much larger than the
SO ,OO0,OOO,000 required. Plans were
perfected for sale largely in excess
of this. Now, with the organizations
that have been effected, the quota
should be subscribed in very brief
campaign.
Many counties and towns have adj
vised headquarters that their quotas
are already pledged, and with little
work the oversubscriptions will reach
sums that will show the world that
the patriotism of the people has been
aroused to high pitch; will show our
Allies across the water that the
United States may be depended on to
do its part, and will demonstrate to
the kaiser and all Germany that
every man in this Nation and every
dollar of Americas wealth will be en-
listed in the war that is to sweep
Prussianism from the face of the
earth.
For the Third Liberty Loan Barry
county's quota has been fixed at
S1S4,6O0. The county in the second
Liberty Loan had $177,500 for its
minimum; the target was $295,50O;
the actual subscription totaled S2O2,-
100, and was taken by 407 subscrib-
ers.
