TAKES7OO,OO0OF
THIRD WAR LOAN
AS He WAS AT 81.

CAMP MEADE, Nd, May with
out eNerting any pressure upon men
who have financial burdens already
to bear out OF their army pay. about
100000 has been subscribed here for
the third Liberty loan. Letters from
soldiers have had much effect upon
subscribers back home. One soldier
received a reply from his former en-
ployer in which he said that his letter
helped the firms employees to sub
scribe 100000. The cash sales OF
bonds In camp amounted to S31s.30O.
and S154.05O was subscribed out OF
allotments OF pay.
One Of the features OF the program
this week Is a forced march by every
unit. One company today made six
miles before an hour was up and add
ed 200 yards TO the distance. Prac-
ticslly every unit in camp is expected
to cover six miles In a single hour.

SHEEP GRAZING
AT WHITE HOUSE
ALLARE EWES

President Wilson's sheep began
grazing on the white House lawn to-
day.
The sheep. all ewes, were brought
to Washington late yesterday from
the Woodward stock farm near
Bowie, Nd. by motor truck. They
were turned lose in the Presidents
backyard" which for a century. be-
fore and after 1t was fenced, has been
known in Washington as the White
Lot The sheep will be confined to
the rear lawn.
In the lot are four tiny. WooIly lambs
but a few weeks old. Just what the
President is to do with the flock Is a
mystery. There is not a ram in the
lot. so the Chief Executive cannot
qualify as a sheep raiser. and his tiny
flock has not been sheared for wool.
The sheep are restless and a bit
frightened In their new surroundings.
Motorcycles passing along the drive
send them scampeTing. but II was said
at the White House that they are be-
having very well.
Just what measures are 70 be taken
by the gardeners to protect flowers
