SET GOAL AT b BlLLIUN
LIBERTY LOAN WORKERS ANx-
IoUs TO GO OVER TOP.
Encouraging Reports Received From
All Sections of Country-OVersub-
scripiions Will Be Accepted

Washington, April 10.-Five billion
dollars is the goal toward which the
Liberty loan organizations all over
the country are working, regardless of
the S3,O00,O00,000 minimum set by the
treasury.
Ehls became evident from reports
from campaign committees in many cit
les which are anxious to reach their
quotas of subscriptions within the first
half of the four weeks period and to
devote the last half to doubling the APP
portionment.
The treasury would welcome such a
big oversubscription, of course. 1t
would be striking demonstration to
the enemy of American resolution. In
announcing the terms of the loan. Sec
rotary McAdoo provided that all over
subscriptions might be accepted.
When subscriptions TO the third Lib
erty loan was called for at a local the
alter President Wilson, who occupied
box, took $1,000 worth amid prolong-
ed cheering.
Several big cities have sent word
that they hope to "gO over the top"
within two weeks. and eventually to
double their quotas, and thereby win
the loan honor flag with one star, des-
ignating a doubling.
SO far reports have been genuinely
encouraged. Although definite reports
have not been available, estimates
have been barred by Secretary Nc
Adoo, every indication is that small
communities are working Strenuously.
and that farmers are subscribing
freely.

DRAFT FOR IRELAND
LLOYD CAUSES UPROAE
IN HOUSE OF COMMONS.
British Premier in Man-Power Speech
Tells of Plan to Extend
CONSUMPTION.

London, April 10.-Uproar was
caused by the nationalists in the house

George announced in his man-power
bill speech that it was proposed to ex-
tend CONSUMPTION to Ireland
Members of the Irish party chal-
lenged the prime minister to carry
out the government plans. one call
ing:
Come across and get u.s."
Lloyd-George also paid tribute to
America, declaring that its interven-
ton might be the decisive factor in
the struggle, which he expected TO
go six or eight months more. now that
the most critical moment of the war
had been entered, although United
States troops had not gone into the
clash as early as was expected.
1t was his statement as to Ireland.
however, which attracted the main
attention. He promised that the
man-pOwer act would be extended to
the Emerald isle, under the same con-
ditiOns as to Great Britain, and that
measure of self-gOvernment for Ire
land would be introduced. admitting
that the military age would be ex-
tended.

necessary to put, men of fifty and boys

is not possible to exclude Ireland from
conscription by a parliament in which
Ireland is represented. and which
committed the country to the war
without a dissenting voice"
The premier announced he hoped
to get the bill through all it's stages
this week, as it was a matter of
urgency. He was interrupted by an
Irish member. who shouted:
You will have TO get us out of the
house first"
Resuming, Mr.. lOyd-George said:
"While We have one ship afioat we
should not accept German peace.
The men being taken now may be the
means of a decisive issue"
While the premier was speaking
Joseph DevlI,l, nationalist member for
West Belfast interrupted to move
that the house report progress until
the report of the Irish convention was
presented.
This interruption caused a storm of
protest. and Mr.. Devlin shouted:
you cannot howl me down won't
sit down. You may try Prussian
methods in Ireland, but you won't Try
them on me-"
When the premier was referring to
Ireland John Dillon, the successor of
the late John Redmond as leader of
the Irish natiOnaliSts in parliam mt
said:

policy. I never challenged the justice

j. 6. SUBMARINES
FIGHTING U-BOATS
American Vessels Cross the At
Iantic in Winter.
BATTLE WAY THROUGH GALES
Small Undersea Craft Make Iona
Journey Without Accident and Are
Now Aiding Allies in the
War Zone

Washington, April 10-In the face
of bitter winter gales American sub
marines, primarily designed for Oper-
atiOns off the home coasts. have
crossed the Atlantic to engage in the
common fight against German U-boats
They are now aiding allied naval
forces, as are American deStrOyers and
American naval airmen, and they have
been in the war zone for some months
Secretary Daniels revealed the fact
that the submarines had gone "Over
there" in his address at Cleveland last
Saturday at Liberty loan celebration
but gave no details.
1t is now possible, however, to tell
for the first time Of the midwinter pas
sage of the boats across the seas in
the face of the most severe weather
known in years. In the periIOus pas
sages the best traditions of the serv-
Nee were maintained.
Arrangements Kept Secret.
The first submarines to leave got
under way in early winter. Arrange
ments for the trip were made without
a hint appearing in the papers.
The steps taken to get them across
cannot be disclosed, but the fact that
the department has no disaster to re-
cord is pointed to as proof of their
sufficiency.
Officers and men of the submarines
faced hard days as they put out.
Cramped in narrow quarters and with
storms in prospect they steered to
sea with complete confidence in them
selves and their boats.
A laconie report of uneventful voy-
ages bore out that confidence.
In mid-December others got started
While it was fair on sailing day ahead
of the submarines a 100-mile gale was
brewing. Into ii they plOwed, rolling
and tumbling.
Submarines Hunt U-Boats.
Little has been said of the work of
the British and French submarines in
the U-boat hunt. They art playing a
definite part, however, and lurking
close to enemy bases. There have been
encounters between submarines re-
ports of which read like fiction.
The service has been described as a
trying one, for which men of courage
and daring are needed. 1t is in that
work, presumably, that the American
submarines are engaged.

U. S. FORCES ARE
RUSHED TO FRANCE
Transportation of American
Troops Speeded Up Since Big
Battle Started.
YANKEES HURRY TO FRONT
American, French and British Re-
sCrVes Are Pouring in Daily to
Help Check Teuton Drive-AI-
lies Position Improving.

Washington, April 10.-Transporta-
ton Of American troops to France al
ready is proceeding at the accelerated
rate contemplated by the speeding up
measures taken after the battle OF
Picardy began. Acting Secretary
Crowell made this statement on Mon
day, but would give no details.
Every day finds the allies in bet
ter position to resist with definite sue
cess the great German offensive, ac-
cording to an official review by the
British military attache here. Amerl-
pouring in daily to help cheek the
German drive, the review declares.
The opening of the third week of
fighting east of Amiens," says the re-
view, finds the position of the allies
steadily improving.
"A very strong effort by the enemy
to drive down the SOmme to Amiens,
during which he used about twenty
five divisions on a front of few miles,
was stopped last week with complete
success only in one place was the Ger
man lines advanced and then only TO
depth of less than a mile on narrow
front
North of Albert the British ad-
vance beat off repeated and vicious at
tacks without bending.
"Near MOntdIdier, the French with
drew a short distance to strong posi-
tons. The enemy is nowhere within
nine miles of Amiens; he is still three
miles distant at his farthest point Of
advance from the main Amiens-Paris
railway, the cutting of which would
bring him no real victory. The best
proof of his discontinue is the use
that he is making of minor incidents
for windOW-dressing purposes.
"The Germans are glOating over the
capture of Pierremande and <FOlem-
bray, In the neighbOrhoOd of Chauny
and the forest of COurey. AS mat
ter of fact these Successes are value
less.
"A short time ago In the course of
the steady advance of the British army
in Palestine a small force was thrown
across the Jordan to cut the Hedjaz
railway. It's work done, it retired from
the waterless waste through which the
railway runs and rejOined the army.
This retirement was advertised by the
Germans as a triumph for the Turks,
who are alleged to have thrown the
British force back over the Jordan.
Doubtless the Germans will make
further great efforts before they ac-
knowledge the failure of their great
spring drive, but it Is safe to say that
each day that passes finds the allies in
a better position to resist with definite
success. Each day their reserves,
which are already considerable, are
being swollen by fresh cOntingents
from their own armies and that of the
United States"

JAPS LAND AT VLADIVOSTOK
Washington Told Troops VIII Be Used
to Protect Life and Property
Russ XIII Japanese.

Washington, April Standing Of
Japanese naval forces at VladivOstok
to protect life and property was re-
ported to the state department by the
American consul there. There action
followed an attack on Japanese Of
ficer by five armed Russians, who,
upon being refused money, killed one
Japanese and wounded two others.
The force landed was said to be small
and, only sufficient to prevent further
disorders.
1t was learned officially that the
American government attaches no pO-
litical significance to this incident. In
other words, it is not regarded as be-
ing connected in any way with the
much-discussed possibility of Japanese
intervention in Siberia.

April 10.-The American railway en-
gineers who helped stem the tide of
the ourushing Germans during the
opening days of the battle now in
progress fought shoulder to shoulder
with Canadian engineers in carrying
out their task. They held their ground
stubbornly and only retired to previ-
ously prepared positions when forced
to do so and inflicted casualties by the
thousands upon the Germans as they
advanced in close formation, in one
place in as many as seven waves, each
wave ten men deep and 100 yards
apart.
Guns Too Hot to Hold.
The Americans with the Canadians
had all the ammunition they needed
and. although they were unsupported
by the artillery and armed only with
rifles and with few machine guns,
they poured scytheIike streams of bull
lets into the enemy at several different
times until the weapons were SO hot
as TO he useless.
This handful of American soldiers,
who were not hardened to such terrific
slaughter. was sickened ny the sham
