DR.. A. A. Kincannon, superinten-
dent of the Memphis city schools, was
elected president of the West Tennes-
see State Normal School at meet
ing Of the state board of education

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
PROBABLY IN OCTOBER

Washington, June 16.-The govern
ment's financial program for the next
four months was disclosed today by
Secretary McAdoo's announcement
that in preparation for the fourth
Liberty loan, to be floated probably
in October, about $6,000,000,000 GER
tificates of Indebtedness would be is
sued. They will be offered in blocks
Of S750,000,000 each, every two weeks
beginning June %.
Every national bank and trust com
pany is asked to assist the govern
ment by subscribing five per cent Of
its gross resources monthly. The
certificates will bear four and one
half per cent interest, like those pre-
ceding the third loan, and will have
varyin" maturity periods, none ex-
ceeding four months.
In addition, an undetermined guam
tity-perhaps $4,000, 900, 000--of tax
certificates will be issued during the
summer for use in paying taxes a
year from now.
The announcement of this program
indicated that the fourth Liberty loan
will be for at least $4,000, 100000, the
exact amount depending on govern
ment expenditures in the next four
months. The treasury already has
estimated these roughly at about
$12, 000, 100000 between July / and
next January l..
The sale Of certificates under the
plan in effect during the past year
amounts virtually to borrowing in
advance from banks on projected
popular war loans or tax collections,
and periodically refunding these short
term obligations in long term Liberty
bonds. Depository banks make two
and one-haf per cent net, the differ
ence between four and one-half per
cent interest paid by the government
and the two per cent collected for
deposits.
The future financial position was
announced at this time to enable
banks to prepare for the government
demands.

Rev. Father Farrelly returned re-
Gently from tour of inspection of
Camp Dodge, and he is very enthusi-

him. Soldier boys who were strang.
ers to him showed every courtesy pos
sible. Father Farrelly was surprised
and agreeably so, with what he found
at the camp. A city of more than
10000 souls, he found a system so
we'll organized as to do credit to a
large municipality such as our larger
cities. Every convenience has been
provided for the welfare of the boys
sanitary conditions were of the best,
comfort prevailed everywhere-the
K. c. buildings, the Y. M. c. A. build
ings, sleeping quarters and mess
rooms were so we'll regulated as to be
beyond criticism The morale of the
boys was splendid-no boisterous or
rowdyism prevailed. During Father
Farrelly's stay he saw no drunken
ness whatsoever and the boys were
gentlemen in every respect. On ev-
cry occasion Father Farre1ly takes
opportunity of telling of his trip and
treatment accorded.

EXCITEMENT AT SCHLESWIG

guage Signs Gets Chilly Re-

There seems to be much talk going
the rounds over the fact that Maurice
Nielsen, of Denison, acting for the
county council of defense, did not re-
ceive a cordial reception at Schleswig
when he went there to post signs
against the use of foreign languages.
There are so many conflicting stor-
les that it is no easy matter to pub
lish the real facts, so merely state
that Mr.. Nielsen went to Schleswin
did post some signs. was requested to
remove them, but did not. No violence
was done him, and he is circulating
around the city as usual.
No doubt the matter will be taken
up at a future meeting of the county
council of defense, and may reach
the attention of state authorities.

BOYS GET REAL
BAPTISM OF FIRE
American Soldiers Have First Rea
Fight This Week-As Expected,
Fight Like Veterans.
BATTLE FRONTAGE OF IS MILE
Boys Stopped the Germans at tn
Marine, Completely Upsettng
All the Hun Plans.

The American soldiers have had
their real baptism of fire this week
and, as we all expected, they were
adamant and met their first test like
veterans.
A battle with a frontage of some
sixty-fve miles was started by the
Germans and the allied forces were
eager for the fray. The Germans had
brought up large cannons, from their
war vessels and fired upon the towns
miles in the rear Of the battle lines
but all to no avail.
The Americans stopped the German
rush at bend along the Marine and
valor and fighting spirit of the Yanks.
The Americans succeeded in capturing
an entire brigade staff and major
and captain were among the prison
ers. All assaults were smashed by
the accurate fire of Pershing's gun
ners. Oh, if Lafayette could have
seen it!
The German prisoners captured in
the counter attack by the Americans
at the bend on the Marine during the
first days fighting number between
900 and $500 men.
1t now appears that the German at
tack has been a colossal failure. Great
numbers of German corpses are hang
ing on the tangle of barbed wire in
front of the French positions and all
reports state the losses of the Ger
mans must have been exceedingly
heavy Warning is given however,
that great pressure of reserves is still
to be looked for.
The Associate Press says: EAST and
west of Rheims the Germans are
fighting to bring success to their fifth
offensive. Almost everywhere the al
lied troops are holding tenaciously,
and the fighting zone between the
first line is intact along the entire
sixty-ive mile front. Superb resis.
lance by American, French and 1tal.
ian troops held the Germans to mini
mum gains. Between 100000 and 800,
900 German troops were thrown into
the battle. Despite these huge num-
bers and the use Of every facility Of
offensive, Berlin was able to report
officially Monday night only that Ito
the southwest and east of Rheims
was penetrated into parts Of the

DEATH RELIEVES
MUCH SUFFERING
Mrs. Margaret Anderson, a Resident
Of Crawford County and Denison
for Years, Called Home.
CAME TO CRAWFORD IN 1889
Confined to Bed but Few Weeks, and
Having the Best of Medical Skill
Proves of No Avail.

The hearts of many friends were
saddened on last Thursday when they
learned of the death of Mrs. Margaret
Anderson, who passed away at her
home on North Main street after a
short illness. Mrs Anderson had been
confined to her bed but few weeks
and although the best of medical aid
and the services of trained nurse
were procured, death came as a relief
from further suffering to this beloved
mother Mrs Anderson was one Of
Crawford county's early settlers, hav-
ing come to Otter Creek township
with her husband in the spring of
1888. She lived a worthy and helpful
life and those who knew and loved
her were made happy by her sweet
personality and friendly deeds.
Margaret Mulholland was born in
the county of Hutrim, Ireland, on
Jan. 8, 1910. Her girlhood years were
spent in Ireland and at the age of %
she removed to Canada where she
lived for three years, then making her
home in Philadelphia. On Dec. "a,
1869, she was united in marriage to
Samuel Anderson and they established
their home at Wenona, ILL.,, where they
lived until the spring of 1888, when
they came to Otter Creek township
in this county. To this union ten
children were born, one having died
in early childhood and one in infancy.
The eight children now living are
John, Samuel, Harry and Mrs. Arthur
Whey, all of whom reside near De-
lott; William, who lives at Jefferson.
and Robert, James and Emma, who
live in Denison. Besides the children
thirteen grandchildren mourn the
loss of this dear grandmother. Mr..
Anderson passed away on Jan. 4, 1892,
and Mrs Anderson continued to re-
side on the farm for nearly twenty
years. With hard toll and true moth
erly devotion she reared her children
to worthy manhood and womanhood
and she has been the recipient of their
loving care and devotion. Mrs. An
derson united with the Presbyterian
church when eighteen years of age,
but because there was no church Of
this denomination at Deloit she be.
came a Methodist and her member
ship was transferred to the church at
|Denison when she removed to this
lefty about seven years ago. Since
that time she has won many warm
friends who feel deeply the loss OF
