With commendabfe patriotism, the
Dramatic Club of the Mississippi In.

mediate additions to the library Dr.

EFFORTS OF AMERICAN
WAR DEPARTMENT Sc
VERELY CRITICIZED.
PUBLICITY Is URGED
This Is Only Remedy For Ex-
isting Conditions, Says Sem
ator johnson.

Washington, March 27.-Another
storm of criticism of Amercia's waf

Democrats and Republicans, con-
cerned over the German drive
against France and spured by the
statements of Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood before the military commit
tee Monday on ineffcicncies of
American preparation. joined in de-
ploring the shortage of ships, air
planes and estillery.
Senator Thomas of Colorado,
Democrat, opened the debate with
an attack on the fuel administra-
tion, which, he said, was curtailing
production. Senator Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts, Republican, referred to
what he called q wasted year, and
declared that the truth should be
told the American people about
'ha war situation After spending
$4,000, 900 on the aviation pro-
gramme, he declared, we have not
a fighting plane IN France" Gen.
Pershing's men are without Ameri-

but was told by Senator King Of
Utah, Democrat, who recently con-
ferred with President Wilson, that
when military exigency demands

proval of the allies and this govern
ment.
The entire discussion was deplor-
ed by Senator Overman of North

THRUST OF SHARP KNIFE
CAUSES A COPIOUS SAN
CULINARY FLOW.
ARGUE OVER WAR
George Schaultz and August
Schuler Give limitation of
Foreign Fighting.

While German and English
forces were fighting fiercely on the
sanguinary fields Of battle-scarred
France, Columbus experienced the
novelty Of staging rencounter be-
tween George Schaultz and August
Schuler, two beligerent Huns, and
while both escaped with their lives
there was copious flow of blood
from a knife wound received by
Schaultz, while Schuler, who WELD
ed the keen-edged weapon, was TAX
en- as a prisoner, having been cap
tured by the police while making a
strenuous effort to escape arrest by
taking to the woods.
The fight took place on South
Market street, near the Mobile and
Ohio depot, Sunday afternoon, and
is said to have followed a heated
discussion of news which had re-
Gently arrived from the French
battle field. Schaultz is about 65
years of age, while Schuler is ap-
parently five years his junior. Both
are tinkers and both are said to be
alien enemies. A combination rifle
pistol said to belong to Schuler was
found in a house near the scene of
the difficulty, and as the federal
law provides that no aliens can have
arns in their possesson this weapon
'vas .:onfiscated by the police.
Schaultz is at local hospital,
while Schuler is being held in jail
to await the outcome of his injury.

ON THE ISSUE is
FIXED AT 41-4
PER CENT.
LONG TERM BONDS
Date Of Maturity May Be FIX
ed Thirty Or Forty Years
Hence.

Washington, March 27.-The
third Liberty loan to open April 6,
will be for three billion and over
subscription at A IA per cent in,
terest. Bonds Of the first loan,
bearing 3 1-2 per cent interest and
of the second loan at A per cent,
may be converted into the new
bonds, but those Of the third loan
will not be convertible into any flu
ture issue.
This announcement was made re-
cent by Secretary McAdoo with the
comment: THAT great events now
happening in France must fire
the soul of every American with a
new determination to furnish all
the dollars and all the material re-
sources of America that are needed
to put an end to the excable afro
cites OF German militarism,
In connection with the loan, the
secretary plans to establish sink
ing fund with which to purchase
back any bonds Of the third loan
thrown upon the market, in order
to aid in keeping the price up to
par. The maturity of the bonds is
yet to be determined but it was of
fcially stated that they will be long
term, probably between twenty and
thirty years. Other features which
viii be settled as ,saon rs Congress
passes the necessary authorizing
legislation are the length of the
campaign and the terms of pay
ment on the bonds.
Most financial observers were sur
prised at the comparatively small
size of the loan, and at the interest
rate, both of which they had expect
ed to be higher. Reduction Of gov
ernment expenditures and allied
loans below the former estimate is
for the loans size, Sec
retary McAdoo explained He said
the bonds were made non-conver-
tible to put an end to expectations
of higher interest rates in the fu-
ture, indicating his purpose to
the A IA rate for future
loans.
