THE PEOPLE ARE BACK OF THE
WAR

While the exact amount OF the sub
scriptions to the third Liberty loan is
not known at the present time, it is Ger.
tain that the sum asked for by the gov
eminent has been more than subscribed
in the months campaign; but more i'm
portant than the oversubscription is the
announcement that the number of par.
Elephants in the loan is far greater than
on either of the two previous loans the
total ranging between 100000 and 49,
100000 persons Counting men, women
and children, counting all nationalities
and all aliens, about one-eighth of the
population of the United States partici-
pated in this patriotic movement for the
success of American arms in the great
struggle now being waged across the
ocean. That in and of itself Is convinc.
ing testimony that the United States is
in this war for earnest and for keeps
When the final compilation of the amount
subscribed is given to the public later in
the week that will add cumulative evil
dence of the determination of the people
of the country to see this war through TO

The decision of the war department Il
dispense with the weekly bulletin on the
war situation is satisfactory to the gen
eral public, no doubt, for the time il
past when those bulletins will fill the
needs of the situation, At best, those
bulletins were chiefly rehash of the re-
ports submitted from European capitals
and did not convey much new informa
ton to the readers OF the newspapers.
Either there should be a succinct daily
announcement or there should be moth
ing, for the weekly bulletin is almost
always out of date by the time it reaches
the public. The practice Of the British
and French governments in issuing bull
letns twice a day probably cannot be
followed by the United States because
Washington is so far away from the
scene of the conflict, but it ought to be
possible to issue one bulletin a day.

value as compared with 1916.
The production of emery from the
Peekskill district, y. Y, amounted to
14,s42 short tons, very little less than
in 1916: the production of corundum in
North Carolina was $50 short tons,
large increase over 1915; and the pro-

to the buyer by the federal food admin
strator for the state certifying that the
total amount OF sugar TO be sold or de
livered will not give the buyer more
then his fair share of the sugar then
available for distribution in the United
States. Announcement to this effect
was made at the office of Acting State
Federal Food Administrators John Il,
Gushing.
This rule shall not apply to shipments
or deliveries on bona fide contracts en-
forceabe at law made prior to May
10, 1918, nor does the rule apply to

PROMISING ORE DEPOSITS.
In Custer County, Idaho, Described in
u. S. Bulletin.

Ore deposits in the northwestern part
of Custer county, Idaho, are described by
/ J. b. tJmpleby in bulletin $50 OF the

ment OF the interior, number of copies
studied, which comprises the Loon Greek,
Yankee Fork and Bay Horse mining dis
trcts includes several promising ore de-
posits and few mines where consider.
able tonnage has been blocked out for
number of years, awaiting more adyan-
tageous transportation facilities. 1t is
believed, however, that under recent
high prices for metals much of this orc
might be handled at good profit.
The ore deposits comprise gold plscers
and lodes carrying goldsilver, gold-cop-'
per, and lead-silver ores. In most of the
deposits the ore is Of excellent grade.
Northwestern Custer county, according
TO MIR. Umpieby, is certain to produce
large amounts of silver, lead. copper, and
gold in the future, il only from deposits
now developed. The deposits of the Bay
Horse district are by no means exhaust
ed, and in some considerable tonnage
is actually blocked out Many Others
are inadequately developed, and much of
the intermediate territory is compare
lively unprospected. In the Yankee Fork
district little ore-is in sight, and any
considerable future production from the
shoots now recognized is problematic,
but in a heavily timbered area where
such bonanza deposits have been found
there is ever the probability of new dis
coveries One noteworthy discovery is
known to have been made since the re-
port was written. The Loon Creek dis
trict contains gold placers that will prob.
ably be worked in the near future In
addition to these there are gold copper |
veins. one of which has been explored |
to depth of 1000 feet. and throughout |
this vein the ore has ranged in value |
from SIS TO 500 to the ton with no evil |
1ence of impoverishment with depth.

NOW THE WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

NOW THE WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.
Having passed successfully through
another Liberty loan drive the people of
the United States have strong duty at
hand to subscribe TO the war savings
stamp fund which the government is
raising for the purpose of aiding in the
prosecution of the war The war saw
ings stamp movement calls for subscrip,
tions of 2,000,000,000 during the present
calendar year, and that makes approx
mately $50 per capita. The state of Ne
brasks already has reached its quota and
several other states are making rapid
progress toward the goal; but at the
same time many states are not taking
hold of the matter in the way that they
should Vermont is doing fairly well
but is still below the per capita of the
nation at the present time. 1t is really
an essential part of the governments
war program that this $1,000, 100000
should be raised and the people of Yer
mont should turn to with a will and
meet the expectation Of the government.
As in the case of the Liberty loan, you
are not giving money to the government,
but you are investing in the best security
offered in the world to-day, at a fair
rate of interest and at a maturity date
considerably in advance of any of the
Liberty loans thus far issued. The gov
eminent promises TO pay you 4 per cent
interest and in 1923 to repay You in full
for the amount you invest II is fine
chance to invest your money and your
patriotism.

ORDERS ID MOBILIZE SECOND DRAFT MEN ID 60 OUT SOON
As First Announced S00,000 Will Be Called During the Year Gradually as
 Possible

Washington April 5-Orders for tue mobilization for the first large an1a Der of men of the second draft will go out to the governors of. the states very soon
 Fifteen thousand men of the sec ond draft are now mobilizing and the April call about to go out will rep resent probably more than the months proportion of the S00,oo0 mon. who it previously has been announced will be called Curing the remaining nine months of the year.
 To call the S00,000 in equal monthly increments would mobilize them Yt about rate of 90,000 month. How. ever, there is no assurance that this will be a fixed tigurs because tlte flow of the men will be determined by the needs of the army in France. As Gen. erai Pershing may call for specially qualified troops, an average of 93,0oa a month may be much exceeded or much decreased.
 It has been announced that the men will be drawn as gradually and in IS small numbers as possible, so as not tc cisio6ge industry and particularly agriculture. So fa- as possible this rian will be followed.
 The immediate neen of increasing the American forces ip France. how ever, to meet the German drive in the west is likely to result in calling the men faster than frs. supposed For that reason the April quota urdoubt- ed,y will exceed its normal average. Ir fact if the need is pressing the en-s tire S00,000 might ho called in muca less than the ninc months originally planned

 Birmingham feels very deep interest in this young fellow, as he spent most of his life in this city.
 He is a son of Mir. and Mrs. G. A. Lux of New Orleans, who until few years ago were residents of Birming- ham. Mr. Lux was prominently con- nectcd with the Alapama Great South ern railroad and is the father of four sons, of whom two are in the navy Turner Sanders Lux and William Paine Lux,

The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-04-06

Washington, April 5.-The first ami versary of the entrance of the United States into the war finds the great re sources of the country just coming into the struggle. but rapidly being prepared.
 The achievements of the first year are chiefly divided between the army, which has been supply and training fighting forces; the navy, which has been hunt ing the submarine and conveying troops and supplies to Europe; the shipping board, which has been building a mer- chant marine, and the treasury, which has been advancing credits to the allies.
 In all other departments of the gov ernment there has been a tremendous eff fort to bring all the force of the coun- try's resources and power to the aid of the actual fighting machine.
 For military reasons it is not permis- sible to state the exact number of American troops in France with General Pershing's expedition, but Secretary Ba- ker. in recent testimony before the Sem ate military committee, predicted 500, 900 men would be there early this year and that another 100000 would be ready to go during the year.
 American troops have taken up sev- eral positions on the fighting line in France, have occupied a sector of their own northwest of Toul, and have had numerous encounters with the Germans Official statements from British and German army headquarters have shown that certain American fighting forces were thrown into the battle brought on by the great German offensive this spring, the British war office first re- porting them as fighting shoulder to shoulder with the British and French troops in the vicinity of Rove.
 By referring to the combined forces of the regular army and national guard a year ago, and comparing the strength Of the regular army now, the national guard mustered into federal service, and the men of the first draft in cantonmAnts, it is apparent that the total number Of ready fighting men has been increased from a meagre 100000 to something like 1.50o,0O0, with about 1o.O00,0Oo men regis- tered under the draft still available for calls to the colors.
 CRITICISM EXPECTED
 Military experts have estimated that should the war be prolonged and it be- come necessary for the United States to assume the burden of carrying on the conflict, an army of 100000 men would not be improbable. The immense and sudden expansion of the army has not been without criticism but, it is declared, this was expected in the conversion into a fighting force of nation traditionally welded to the pursuits of peace.
 The expansion of the naval forces has been characterized in Congress by many as praiseworthy The exact details, here too, are shrouded in secrecy as military measure, but it is well known that an emergency war building programme has
