of Its Quota.

Washington, May 20-The total
of the Third Liberty loan is $4,170,-
019,650, an oversubscription of % per
cent above the three-billion minimum
sought. The number of subscribers
was about 100000 Every federal
reserve district oversubscribed, the
Minneapolis district 172 per cent, the
highest, and the New York district
124 per cent, the lowest.
In announcing these figures on
Thursday the treasury explained the
total may be changed slightly by later
reports from federal reserve banks of
subscriptions during the last days of
the campaign.
"This is the most successful loan
the United States has offered, both
in number of subscribers and in the
amount realized" said Secretary Nc
AdoO in a statement. every SUBJ
scription was made with knowledge
that allotment in full was to be ex-
pected, unlike the first and second
loan, when rllotments were limited.

IRISH PLOTTERS
ARE DEPORTED
Vessel Carrying Prisoners Leaves
kingstown for Holy Head,
Wales.
SITUATION WELL IN HAND
Desperate ELEVENTH. Hour Attempt to
Turn Tables on Government Made
by Crowd of Masked Men
Little Bloodshed Reported.

London, May PA vessel carry
ing 70 Sim Fein prisoners left Kings
town, Ireland, says Dublin dispatch
to, the Central News Agency. 1t is
understood the ship is proceeding to
Holy Head, Wales. A large crowd
cheered as the ship departed, but the
demonstrators were dispersed quickly.
The government at last accounts
had the Irish situation well in hand.
A desperate eleventh-hour attempt
to turn the tables on the government
forces was made by Sim Feiners in
County Tyrone while Viscount
French's dragnet was gathering in 600
men and women conspirators in the
German-Irish revolt plot.
A crowd of masked men stormed
Barncourt castle, the seat of the duke
of Albercourt, and made an unsuccess-
full search for arms.
There has been scarcely any blood
shed in the island-wide roundup OF
plotters. Except for the abortive raid
of Barncourt castle, the only disturb
anceS reported so far took place az
Skibbereen. where seven Sim Fem
ers resisted constabulary forces.
One of the protestants is reported
to have been shot in the arm.
The Observer, commenting on the
Irish situation, says:
"a grave step has been taken in
Ireland for grave reasons. Friday
morning Professor De Valera, prcsi-
dent of the Sim Fein party, and many
other extremists were arrested.
"The reason is that these avowed
| separatists and pro-Germans have
once more been in reasonable touch
with the enemy, despite the leniency
with which they were treated after the
last Dublin outbreak.
SIN view of Admiral Won Capelle's
assertion that Germany is assured for
| years to come of a steady supply of
| U-bOats which never cease their eff
| forts to get in touch with the Sim
Feiners and separatists, this repeated
| treason must be put down with an
untlinching hand.
AN organized nationalist attempt
is being made to mislead and preju-
| dice American opinion with regard to
! the Irish situation. This attempt will
undoubtedly be continued unless it
is met with stern and cool discrimina-
ton across the Atlantic.
"John Dillon, the Irish nationalist
! leader, and his friends have made
themselves responsible for a malevO-
| lent manifesto. 1t asserts that the
British government is not sincere in
it's Intentions with regard to the home
rule bill and that the British policy
| is falling in it's promise to Ireland.
1--WE hope that President Wilson and
the people of the United States will
/ not be mislead by the Dillon manifesto
We hope they will set themselves fully
to understand what the British policy
in Ireland really is.
at is plain thing and an honest
| thing and is the only thing compatible,
on the one side, with the war inter
ests of the allies, while, on the other
side, tending steadily to reconcile two
breeds and creeds.
without that, Ireland, in wasting
and barren agitation, will plunge from
one unsettlement to another and there
| will be no health in her"

.LUFBERY is SHOT
DOWN BY GERMANS
Huns Kill the U. S. Air "Ace"
Over the American
Lines.
BULLET PIERCES GAS TANK
Airman's Only Wound Was a Hole
through the Thumb-Yanks Take
Revenge by Destroying
Hun Planes.

Paris, May 22.-Maj. Raoul Lufbery.
the nrst American ace to be killed as
the result of an aerial fight, was bur-
led on Monday with full military hon.
ors by French and American detach-
ments.
With the American Army in France.
May 22.-Maj. Raoul Lufbery, who has
Deen regarded as the best aviator in
the American service, was shot down
In flames and killed Sunday morning
by big German triplane which he
was attacking. Lufbery jumped from
his flaming machine when 800 yards
ABOVE the ground. He had IL victories
to his credit. Lufbery's home was in
Wallingford, Conn.
The German machine which brought
Lufhery down was armed with two
machine guns, with an operator for
each piece.
Lufbery's only wound, aside from
those he received when he crashed to
earth, was a bullet hole through the
thumb. Apparently the same bullet
punctured one of the gasoline tanks
of his machine.
The German machine was under
heavy antiaircraft fire several times
both before and after the air fight,
and one explosion of shell upset the
enemy plane, but it managed to
straighten out again.
1t was about ten o'clock inthe morn
ing when a German triplane suddenly
descended from the clouds, apparently
because of engine trouble, until it was
only some 1900 meters over the city
of Toul. The American flyers were on
the alert and some of them headed for
the fighting line to await the enemy on
his return.
Lufbery and the pilot of another ma
chine made after the Germans, who
quickly ran away from the direction
OF the line, the two American ma
chimes following him. Eight miles
away from the enemy's line Lufbery
was seen to attack from under the
tail, but then he drew off, as if his ma
chine gun had damned. Two minutes
later he attacked again from the same
position, and almost Immediately his
machine burst into flames.
With the American Army in France,
May pa French aviator shot down
a German plane back of the Luneville
sector. Two men from the plane were
captured by the Americans. The Ger
mans came from somewhere in the
rear. 1t is reported, although not con-
firmed, that this is the machine which
brought down Major Lufbery. There
has been extraordinary aerial activity
all day in this sector.
Two hostile airplanes have been
brought down by American aviators.
says an official announcement issued
at American headquarters. One of
the airplanes shot down carried two
officers Both had been riddled with
bullets,
