PRISONERS CONFIRM
 BELIEFS 0F FRENCH
IRepublican 4. p. Leased Wirs]

WASHINGTON, April S-Statements of German prisoners have convinced French military critics that the real objective of the great German offen- sive was Paris and that so far from expecting checks which would make Ami6ns the goal of bloody and unde- cisive battles. the Teutonic high com mand sent it's forces forward prepared for rapid advances in open warfare.
 Tn order to alleviate the march of the troops says an official dispatch received today from France, the order was given to prepare for their depar ture and to organize the conveys in such a way as only to carry with them what was indispensable. The remain ing was to be stored at a depot de- signed by the divisions. The loading carriages, the munitions to be carried, the equipment and arming of the men all had been carefully planned as well ass the distribution of maps of the country to be invaded. The men were to carry reserves of food, enough to last two days and two flasks, the usual food for day following the main rolling kitchens and provisions for three days in compan conveys.
 Tn short, ever arrangement shows that the German command had decided to resort to open warfare. It is certain that the military situation after more than fifteen days of operations is one of extreme disappointment to the Ger
 man command"

reported today they had subscribed their quota and won the flag, making more than 200 names on the honor roll in the two days of the campaign. Among those reporting today were:
 Colorado-Lincoln county.
 Texas-Cameron county. Liberty county, Brooks county, Smith county; Carson county. Kleburg county, Will barger county, Stephens county; Rusk county; Jim Hogg county, Commal county.
 Secretary McAdoo today named April 21 as Liberty Loan Sunday and in letter to 114,0o0 preachers asked that special sermons be preached on that. day.
 SAN FRANCISCO. April s.-Third Liberty loan subscriptions announced today at the headquarters of the Twelfth Federal district were headed by the million dollars allotment taken by the First National Bank and the First Federal Trust company of this city. Eight other subscriptions totalled s9O2, 900.
 George K. Weeks. campaign manager for the district predicted in a state ment tonight that a considerable pro portion of the communities in the district would be eligible to the honor for the districts denoting a full quota by the end of this week. and that the total subscribers would number a mil lion and a half.
 Local banks reported ten times the number of subscriptions as in the first two days of the first and second loans. it was announced at loan headquarters

Danger of Duplication

Officials explained that the danger of duplication, or watering" in estimates, even if carefully made, arises from the fact that campaign workers report sub scriptions which may be made payable through a bank. This bank in turn subscribes lump sum to cover all the subscriptions it handles. Thus a pledge might be counted twice, and the aggregate of these Implications might result in a misleading showing. For the nation to believe that it's loan sub scriptions were far above what they actually totalled would have elements of positive danger to the loans success, according to Secretary McAdoo and other officials who advocated the new 1 procedure.
 By the latter part of the week, the | treasury expects to give it's first of ficial report on subscriptions.
 From several cities today came word that an attempt was being made to commercialize the honor flag idea, and that flag manufacturers were solicit | ing orders for large quantities of the specially designed banners. This was met by warning from the treasury that the flag has been copyrighted and can be obtained legally only from the Liberty loan organization.
 | Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement today urged workers to sub- scribe generously to the loan even if il meant great economies, and to do all that you can for the common cause of democracy and freedom the world over"

Call it a "DiIuted Lier

PARIS, April S.-The office of Prem- fer Clemenceau has issued the follow ing statement:
 "A diluted lie is still a lie. Count Czernin told a lie when he said that some time before the German offen- sive began Premier Clemenceau caused him to be asked if he was ready to open negotiations and upon what basis.
 As to the passage in the manu- script note of Count Revertata where he says he acted for Austria to obtain from France peace proposals, the so- licitant's text is authentic and Count Czernin has not decided to dispute it.
 "To hide his confusion he tried. to maintain that the conversation was re- sumed at the request of NJ. Clemen- ceau. Unfortunately for him, there is fact which reduces his allegation to nothing, namely, that Clemenceau was appraised of the matter on November IS, 1917, (that is to say the day after he took over the ministry of war) by communication from the intermediary dated November 10 and intended for his predecessors. For Count Czernin S contention to be true, M. Clemenceau would have had to take the initiative in question before he was premier Thus, Count CZernin is categoricaIly contradicted by facts"

 The new arrangement renders value less the system developed by the Lib erty loan organization after weeks of work to gather from each city, town and county at the close of the days soliciting, an estimate of subscriptions gathered that day. These estimates were to have been collected by the publicity organizations in eacn federal reserve district and telegraphed to Washington to be. made public here the following day.
 During the second loan campaign these unofficial estimates were made public daily together with official re- ports of federal reserve banks, and the aggregate official figures ordinarily were about two- thirds of the estimates This ratio continued to the last day of the campaign, but a week after the period closed, final official figures as announced were approximately the same as the earlier estimates.
 If official reports are made at the same rate this time the treasurys an- nouncements will be from five to ter days later than the days work they represent.
