Initial Payments
On Liberty Bonds
Top Required Total
Banks Literally Swamped
as First Instalment on
Loan Is Paid
Greeks Buy $4,000, 900
Jewelry Division Doubles the
Quota Set for Campaign
in New York

No estimate can be made as yet Of
the actual amount Of money turned
in to the Federal Reserve Bank on
Thursday to cover the initial 10 per
cent payment on. Fourth Liberty Loan
subscriptions. The only statement
made by representatives o. the bank
was that the various financial institu-
tons in the city had been literally
swamped with money and that much
more than the required 10 per cent
had been paid In.
It is impossible to estimate just
when the final tabulation Of the sub
scriptions will be made.
Four hundred and five members were
enrolled in the $4,000 Minimum Limit
Club yesterday. With the new names
the total Of those who have purchased
at least $4,000 worth of the Fourth
Liberty Bonds in the Second Federal
Reserve District has reached 1921.
Although returns are far from COM
plete, it seems likely that the public
schools Of the city will have accounted
for more than s45.00O.O0O worth of
bonds.
One of the features Of the Loan cam
paign was the work Of the various for
eign committees. Greeks of New York

"are ready to retire Whitman. because
he lacks the courage and ability to
bring the state into progressive step
with the nation"
Alfred Z. Smith, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, tonight told q
crowd which packed the city's largest
theatre that his Republican opponent,
Governor Whitman, lacked the courage
and ability to bring the state into pro-
gressive step with the nation.
During the reconstruction period,
when the boys that arc fighting for de-
mocracy abroad come home, they want
to find the state in line with the policy
Of President Wilson, and they expect
the gateway of opportunity. to be
opened to them" said Mr.. Smith. "This
cannot be accomplished by narrow,
selfish men who have in their mind
only their own advancement.
Claiming that never before in the
history of the state had public office
been used 80 much to promote the Do-
litical fortunes Of the Governor, the
Democratic candidate said that should
a list Of men appointed during the re-
cent primary fight in the Republican
party be published it would be shock
to the people. "The state finance law
provides that all bills and accounts
of the state shall be audited by the
Controller" said Mr.. Smith, but the
Governor has seen fit to take Sb,Ooo
of the money appropriated for war
purposes to pay an auditor for political
services rendered."

the war by use of American gas that

Through personal investigation, the
major said, he found hundreds and

effects of American gas shells and all
OF the victims wore gas masks Of the
latest German design.

Printers Vote to
Stay Out Until
War Board Acts
5000 Turn Down Sugges-
ton of Conferrees That
They Return

Chances Of the weekly magazines
published in New York City getting
out their issues next week grew small
err yesterday when five thousand print
ers and their assistants, at meeting
at Beethoven Hall, 210 Fifth Street, and
Arlington Hall, 23 st. Marks Place,
voted against returning 60 work, pend
ing the arbitration Of their demands
by the War Labor Board.
A conference committee, representing
the Franklin Union No % and the
Printers League Section of the Asso-
citation of Employing Printers. had met
on Thursday. 1t recommended that the
men return to work at the scale effec-
tive prior to their going out, but that
any increase recommended by the ar
btrator be retroactive. A. M. Bing,
chairman Of the Industrial Service Ord
nance Department for the New York
district, was selected arbitrator.
According to James G. Bagley,- presl-
dent of the Franklin Pressmen's Union,
ten commercial printing firms have
granted the demands Of tho men. lie
claims that 900 returned to their places
at weekly increase of $6.
Employers Are Answered
Louis Glaubenhcimer. of the joint
committee Of the Printing Pressmen
Union, No. 81, and the Franklin Press
man Union, yesterday answered the
charges made by the employing PRINT
ers that the pressmen and feeders broke
an agreement made at the time of the
granting Of their last salary increase.
"The employers originally broke the
agreements" Mr.. Glaubenheimer said:
"Whan the feeders and pressmen asked
for salary increases the empl)yers pre-
sented the matter to the War Labor
Board, contrary to the provisions OF
the contract" ~.
Labor union officials were of the
opinion last night that the printers
and feeders will not return to work
before final settlement is reached.
The publishers of the numerous
weekly and monthly magazines pub
lished in this city held meeting at
the Manhattan Club yesterday to take
action on the demands of the strikers.
The conclusions reached were not
made public, but no offer to the
strikers was forthcoming when the
meeting adjourned.

conspicuous in the crowd, and thew
stood upon their chairs and loudly ap-
plauded AIS declaration Of independ-
ence.
Patrick E. McCabe. the Democratic
leader Of Albany County, was also
demonstrative in allowing his satisfac-
tion. He apparently has buried the
axe which he has had out for Charles
F. Murphy for the last year or more.
All, however, is apparently harmony
again, for McCabe saw to it that the
Tammany gubernatorial candidate had
the best. there was in Albany, while
here, and highly extolled him in call
ing to order big Smith mass meet
ing, at Harmanus Blocker Hall to-
night.
During the day Mr.. Smith visited
Troy and Schenectady, where he met
the Democratic leaders. Joseph
Murphy. of Troy, told him he would

Albany, clear over into the Whitman
camp, temporarily at least. Mr..
Barnes told the Republican State
Committee yesterday that he would
speak at Whitman meeting in
Albany next Thursday. He said:
"The attempt made to-day from
