Quota by Billions of
Dollars.

Washington, April o,-Secretary
McAdoo, in statement wired from
Raleigh, N. G., and given out by the
treasury here today, called on the
country to furnish 100000 subscrib-
ers to the new Liberty loan.
That number of purchasers, he said,
would mean loan of $4,000, 100000 or
$4,000, 100000 instead of the $3,000,-
000,C00 announced as goal.
Let us not stop when we have
reached our quota" said the secretary.
LET US go forward and make the
quota three or four times as great,
if it is possible to do it, and let US
at the same time make the number of
subscribers to these bonds three times
as great as it was before.
Bad News for Kaiser.
There is no answer that will carry
such Encouragement to the enemies
Of America and 6f civilization as that
20,000,000 American citizens have sub
scribcd this time for Liberty loans.

stay in the fight and make tip our
minds to it. If we do this it will
mean that = we shall have

noon hour. The early morning vote
was marked by its lightness.
Many voters are confused on ac-
count Of the change of voting places

not as a rule indicate the district or

Mayor Dahlman stated he had to
search for his voting place, which is
the Sixth district of the Eighth ward.
He was 2oth to vote at this location
and at IL o'clock 4S had voted in this
district.

Premier Lloyd George Says
Report of Recent Convention
Adopted; eIf-Government
in Sight for Erin.

London, April 9.-When an emer-
gency has arisen which makes ii
necessary to put men of 50 and boys
of 18 years into the fight for liberty,
Mr.. Lloyd George declared in his
speech, opening the British parlia-
ment, it is not possible to exclude
Ireland from conscription by parlia-
ment in which Ireland is represented
and which committed the country to
the war without a dissenting vote.
The premier said the fighting
strength of the Americans would be
brought to bear Immediately, al
though it was impossible to put in
to France at the moment the num-
Der of trained Americans as a sepa-
rate army that had been expected.
The Americans would be brigaded
with the allied troops.
Two Armies Destroyed.
Referring to the Turkish campaign,
Mr.. Lloyd George said two Turkish
armies had been destroyed, in Pales-
tine and Mesopotamia. German bat
talions had been sent to help the
Turks in Palestine, thereby relieving
the western front.
The premier said the fight might
continue for seven to eight months.
For the British army and navy, he
stated, almost 100000 men have
been raised already.
The character of the quarrel in
which the country is engaged, the
premier said, is as much Irish as Eng
lish.

When Mr.. Lloyd George referred
TO Ireland Alfred Byrne. nationalist
member from Dublin, shouted:

Ireland"

Railroad attorneys who have stud
led the failroad law passed at the
present session of congress are in
clined to the opinion that while the
government has taken over the rail-
road properties, the method of opera
ton is not likely to be seriously dis
turbed. The new law provides for
the pooling of business and equipment
and for an equitable distribution of
profits in order that roads may be
placed on a parity so far as net earn
ings are concerned.
AS a rule present officials will de-
eide all traffic matters and the Inter
state Commerce commission con-
tinues to exercise its former power
relative to rate-making as applied to
both freight and passenger business.
The new law permits railroads to
sue and be sued the same as former
ly. However, according to the pro-
visions Of the new law, as interpreted
by the attorneys, while an individual
firm or corporation may obtain judg-

AMERICANS FIGHT HARD.


With the American Army in France.
April 9.--The American railway en-
gineers who helped stem the tide OF
the onrushing 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 and only retired to previous
ly prepared positions when forced to
do so, and inflicted casualties by the
thousands upon the Germans, who
advanced in colse formation, in one
place in as many as seven waves, each
wave 10 men deep and 100 yards
apart. 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 streams OF
bullets into the enemy at several diff
ferent times until the weapons were
SO hot as to be useless.
A handful OF American soldiers
who were not hardened TO such ter
rife slaughter, was sickned by the
shambles it created, but fought fur
iously for several days, helping to
hold the enemy all the way from ST.
Quentin to the vicinity of Noyon.
These were the Americans mentioned
at the time in the official commsni-
ques, but these details of their ex-
rploits il has only now been possible
to secure.
Threw Down Tools.
When the German attack begar
the Americans were working in the
rear lines with the Canadians, under
Canadian command. They quickl,
threw down their tools and seized
the weapons with which they hat
been armed for some months, ano
formed themselves into a fighting
unit. The Germans came on ano
finally preached the positions where
the Americans were waiting. The
egact number of the engineers canno'
be given, but they were comparativel,
small.
As the first gray enemy advanced
the American forces let them CONF
until they were withing certain range
then opened fire, pouring in a storr
of bullets. Gaps appeared in the ad
vancing lines at many places, soms
of them large, where the machine
guns had chewed through. Still the
German waves came OH, without
firing single shot--just advancing.
Hold on by Teeth.
The Americans were unable to
understand these tactics, but never
theless were certain that it was a
question Of slaughtering the enemy or
be gnithemselves smothered under
the advance. By this time their
weapons were so hot they could not
be used effectively and the emmy was
close, so that the engineers retired,
fighting, and took up another position.
Then they turned and began opera
tions again. A British officer who
witnessed the engagement is reported
to have said:
"They held on by their teeth until
the last moment, inhicting terrific
causalties on the enemy. Then they
moved back and waited for the Ger
mans and repeated the performance"
By the time the engineers had
reached a place somewhere near
Noyon they. were nearly exhausted
There they were given a chance to
rest and re-equip. According to all
reports they gave the Germans
generous sample of what the enemy
is to expect from the American army.
