LOAN WIDELY DISTRIBUTED

The final official total of the third Liberty Loan
bond sales, which is expected to reach S4,50O,-
O00, 900, will not be announced until after May
Ii, but analysis of complete returns shows that
the loan just closed probably is the most sue
cessful ever f1oated by any nation This asser-
tion is based not so much upon the volume of
sales as upon the wide distribution of the loan.
A total of the returns provided by the Federal
reserve districts indicated that approximately
1900 900 individual purchasers participated in
the loan. This estimate includes fairly accurate
returns from the Atlanta, Minneapolis, Cleve-
land, San Francisco, ST. Louis, Chicago and
New York districts, and estimated totals from
the Dallas, Kansas City, Richmond, Philladel-
phia, and Boston districts.
This distribution of the third Liberty Loan
indicates that out of every six persons in the
United States may have participated in the loan.
1t is estimated that 20,O0O,000 subscribers
would have been required to have attained one
subscription to each family in the land.
The total of 1000, 900 purchasers exceeds the
number of buyers in the second loan by 7,000,-
600 and is 12500,OO0 more than in the first.

UNCLE SANS ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

The achievement of the United States in the
first thirteen months of the war are reviewed
in aestatement by the League of National Utility
which finds much in which is accomplished to
''hearten the relatives of the boys who are pour
ing@over to France weekly by the thousand, and
to- assure them that despite delays and mis-
government is today bending every energy to-
ward the successful production of all necessary
equipment, that every possible need of the army
and navy be anticipated
III The executive committee of the league, which
has issued the statement includes among it's
members persons who have been occasional
critics of the war policies of the Administra-
ton, and of some feature of the war program.
The statement says:
"All agree that recent changes have put at the
head of the United States the ablest industrial
leaders in the land-men like Schwab, Ryan,
Stettinius, McRoberts, Trip and others of like
ability md record in achieving success. Only
the end counts in big jobs, and this is the biggest
an American Government has ever faced. The
force of several thousand the fighting front
is but the beginning of what has been accom-
plished. Besides the fighting men, more than
this number of Americans had in France pre-
pared the way for the greater force yet to be
ssent--a force of 100000 this year, with other
years and other millions to follow until the Ger
man line is broken and this war decisively ended
wfthlthe complete defeat of Germany"

! BEEN built in France to equip, transport, and
feed 0tir troops in the firing line, including docks

FOR OUR OWN.

The Board of Managers of the Woman's
Home has inaugurated drive through which it
is hoped to raise a fund for the home, which will
put those who find haven there beyond need,
which faces them at this time.
Miss A B. Murphy, whose work with the Pen
sacola Library has been so successful, will be in
charge of the campaign, and already she has en-
listed the support of number of public-spirited
citizens. The Journal will publish the names of
those who contribute to this campaign from day
to day, and it is hoped to make it great success.
In spite of the fact that the great Liberty
Loan drive is just finished, and that the Red
Cross drive will start in few weeks, Miss
Murphy feels confident that there are enough
men and women in Pensacola who are interested
in the Woman's Home to raise such sum as
will put them beyond all possibility of want.
At this time when the highest sense of duty
urges all to patriotism, when each man and yo-
man faces duty to the country which must
not be overlooked, there still remains the need
of caring for our own, especially these old and
feeble ones who without our help, must be de-
fenseless.

AUSTRIAN CRISIS

AUSTRIAN CRISIS
There are at least dozen different crises
in Austria today" one of the best informed
English correspondents has written. All these
crises appear to concentrate the food problem
Even the racial animosities of the composite
empire which always have been the weak tim
bers of its structure, have been inflamed into
unusual bitterness by sectional jealousies over
food distribution.
These crises appear to have reached culmi-
nation in the governments decision to prorogue
parliament during the present phase of war,
for the reason that it could not help, but only
hinder, in the solving of economic problems on
which everything depends, in the words of semi
official explanation.
Before the announcement was made Premier
Won Seydler met party leaders, impressed upon
them the necessities of the situation, offered
vague promises of reforms for the disconnected
races demands and issued warning that any
agitation would be dealt with by all lawful means
Parliamentary government of rather parlia-
mentary debates to be suppressed indefinitely
and an autocratic government will try to hold
the helm.
What straits Austria has reached
vealed partly by the premier's speech and also
by the German official statement that all food
supplies from Ukrania this month will be given
to Austria on account of her greater need.
The Hague correspondent of the Times, dis
cussing the German food shortage has remarked
even the ordinary German public realizes
something worse than food scarcity threatens
Austria.
For two months evaporation between the
Slavic sections of the Austrian population and
the other races has been at the highest point of
tension.
The Germans have been bullying Premier Won
Seydler with insolence which reached its climax
in the request that the Austrian frontier popu-
lations of German should, for food supply
purposes be annexed to Germany.
This request appeared at first little short of
incredible, owing to the long-standing feuds in
volved.
Probably nothing more significant of the
depth of the present crisis has occurred than the
fact that the Austrian government felt COM
PEELED to yield completely this point.
A telegram via Amsterdam says several news
papers skeptcal regarding the question
whether in the interval it will be possible to Gre
ate basis giving better prospect for further
parliamentary labors.
The Berlin Tageblatt says the principal reason
for adjournment of parliament was the govern
ment's failure to create basis for the formation
of majority and the crowns desire to avoid
debates on the emperor's letter and on members
of the house of Parma concerned.
A section of the British liberal press contin-
ues to take critical attitude toward the manner
in which the British, French and Italian govern
ments dealt with Emperor Charles letter.
They hold that it offered a promising avenue
of peace and that the doors should not have been
closed. They also criticise the failure to con-
suit President in the matter.
