Washington.-Answering an inquiry
Of the state department through the

reports that American prisoners Of war
have been mistreated in Germany, the
German government on May 4 declared
American prisoners are accorded the

0ermany's reply is unsatisfactory to
state department officials, who are con-
vinced that all prisoners in German
camps have been treated badly. Re-
taliatory measures will not be con-
sidered, however, until absolute evil
dence of mistreatment of American
prisoners in specific cases can be OBJ
tanned.
Every report Of mistreatment is care

Third Liberty Loan oversubscribed,
It Being Believed That When Sub
scriptions Are All In the Four
Billion Mark Will Be Passed.

WashingtOn.-The American people,
for the third time in year, nave
heavily oversubscribed war credit.
AS the third Liberty loan campaign
was closing Saturday night, the treas
ury department announced the cam
paign had been ian overwhelming sue
cess" Although $3,OOO,OOO was the
formal goal of the campaign, official
reports, including only small proper
ton of saturdays avalanche of
pledges, showed the total as $3,2O3,-
$50, 400, and there were indications
that the aggregate would be increased
to nearly $4,OOO,OOO,OOO, when banks
have time to tabulate the multitude OF
last minute applications.
The exact result Of the campaign
probably will not be known for several
days.
Official estimates placed the mum.
Der Of subscribers at between 12,OOO,-
JvO and 15,OOOOOO, far above the 49,
600, 1000 of the second loan, or $500, 900

pressed the belief that the roll Of
bond buyers would be even greater.
To them this was one Of the most en-
couraging features Of the loan.
All twelve federal reserve districts.
whi>l were the largest campaign
units, oversubscribed, anu majority
of the states made the same record.
Delaware doubled it's quota.
Bond selling continued actively in
many cities up to late hour Satur-
day night, and banks stayed open in
a final effort to roll up more subscrip-
tons than the $4,6l6,OOO,OOO of the
second Liberty loan last October.

FIFTEEN BILLIONS
ASKED FOR ARMY
PRESIDENT ASKS CONGRESS TO
APPROPRIATE VAST SUM TO
INCREASE FIGHTING FORCE.
Alec Requests blanket Authority for
Increasing Numerical Strength OF
Army, Being Proposed to Raise
an Army Of 100000 Men.

Washington. - President Wilson,
through Secretary Of War Baker, on
May 2 requested congress to appropri-
ate $4,000, 100000 for expenses and
blanket authority for increasing the
numerical strength Of the United
States army.
1t was officially proposed to limit
the size of the fighting force only to
the facilities of the war department
for assembling the soldiers and trans
porting them to the battle fronts Of
Europe.
This is the administration program
adopted by the president and the cabi-
net at a meeting on Tuesday. 1t came
as a surprise to the house military
affairs committee when presented
by Secretary Baker, although the
estimates were expected to be large.
Army Of 100000 Men.
The appropriation is intended to
cover the initial cost Of minimum
army of 100000 men. 1t is proposed
to raise the additional forces neces-
sary to get this total Immediately.
That means, according to the experts,
not less than another 100000 must
We obtained through the draft during
the next few months.
The outstanding feature of this
schedule is that it will give the United
States a greater army available for
foreign service than is represented by
the total military strength of the CEN
trail empires on the western front.
Secretary Baker told the committee
he did not desire to estimate the num-
Der of men it might become necessary
to raise, 'for the reason that any
number implies limit and the only
possible limit is our ability to equip
and transport men, which is constant
~ on the increase"

One Hundred and Forty Divisions
Thrown Into battle Fall to Reach
Goal Of Hun Leaders.-Youths
Being Called Into Service.

Paris.-Under the German blows the
allied armies seem to be welded to-
gether as never before. There now is
no point of junction at which the Ger
mans can thrust. The process of weld
ing together the two armies is COM
plete, but it. will not stop there.
Franco-British divisions will be moved
about on solidly knitted front at the
wish Of the allied high command as
freely as German divisions.
Against the enemy's territorial gains
must be set the fact that he had to
throw 40 divisions into battle in five
weeks. A considerable number Of these
have been twice engaged and some
thrice. Adding these Temperatures to-
gether there is a total Of 1856 engage
'ments Of divisions, equivalent to a
mass Of two and one-half million men
whom the enemy has already put into
battle. AS German division is never
withdrawn until it has sustained Sc
we're losses, on an average of $500, it
is reasonable to reckon the enemy's
iOSS SAACC ZIG UcSAAAAA6 Va ZIG O"SIAS
ut not less than $4,000.
The Germans began the offensive
with reserve Of 65O,OOO in depots in
France and at home. Behind these
there is only the 1919-192O class, con.
sisting Of youths, half Of whom are
under 10. The enemy's genuine fight
ing reserve is thus half exhausted be-
fore he has covered anything like half
the distance to his goal. His reckless
employment of divisions has left him
with total of 66 out of 206 in France
which have not yet been engaged. OF
these twelve are landstrum divisions
which cannot be used for the purpose
of an offensive. The Germans thus
can have little hope that the remain
ing sixty divisions can accomplish
what the first 40 failed to achieve.
Already the German staff is most
anxiously realizing that their reserves
Of fresh troops are not greater than
those under Geenral FOch.
