MUST BE SUCCESS
Lansing Appeals for Fourth
Liberty Loan Goal.
Germany VIII Break and Every
Dollar Counts.

Washington, Oct. 17.-"Germany Is
pending; more pressure and she will
break" say5 Secretary Lansing in a
statement today, warning the nation
that the war is not over and that the
fourth liberty loan must be a success
at time when every dollar. as well
as every man and every gun, counts
more than ever before.
Reports on liberty loan subscriptions
gathered shortly before noon today by
the treasury indicated that today's re-
ceiptS probably would bring the total
up to $500, 100000, leaving s2,4OO.-
100000 to be raised in the remaining
two days of the campaign.
Washington. Oct. 17.-One billion
dollars day is the approximate meas
ure of subscriptions required to in
sure the success of the fourth liberty
loan. The nation had subscribed only
$3.50, 081,5 500 by official tabulation
early today and three days remain in
which to reach the six billion dollar
goal
In the coming three days the
American people must decide whether
the fourth liberty loan shall be a sue
cess or a failure" said a statement by
Secretary McAdoo. 'It would be fatal
to minimize the gravity of the nations
problem

day at the close of the campaign must

dollars, officials said today, if the
loan is to be fully subscribed. Belated
subscriptions and final tabulations on
the basis of previous loans may be
counted upon to add a billion dollars
to the total. but it was emphasized
that today and tomorrow are the crit
ical days in the campaign.
No Extension of Time.
There will be no extension of the
liberty loan subscription period past
Saturday night. Secretary McAdoo

secretary, it will be necessary to have
fifth and perhaps a sixth loan re-
gardless of the outcome of Germany's s
present negotiations.

predicting that the number of indi-
/ vidual subscribers to the fourth loan

tee of the Austrian delegation at its
meeting on Wednesday, says a Vienna
dispatch.

connection, for if the contents Of
President Wilson's reply are studied
there is nothing to be found to frus-
trate such a hope or even to delay its
realization considerably.

Wilson's reply is settled" Baron Bur-

He Was in Serious Condition
This Afternoon.

James Barkdull. alias James Narue,
a government prisoner from Mays

tally injured this morning by Deputy
Sheriff Holman from whom she at
tempted TO escape in the alley behind
the. county Jail
BarkduH was sent to Jail on a
Stacker" charge He was shot in the
back, the bullet penetrating the
stomach.
The county Jail prisoners were taken
out by the county authorities for an
airing this morning following the
death of Bandit Lewis from influenza
and pneumonia last evening. Each
prisoner promised the officers that he
would 'be good"
The 5ailer was rather doubtful about
Barkdull because government officers
claim that he has tried to escape be-
fore and he was handcuffed to anoth-
er prisoner
Going down the street just behind
the Jail Barkdull made lunge and
slipped his hand thru the iron. He
ran north in the alley just behind the
Jail. Deputy Sheriff Holman yelled
to him to stop. He kept going, Off

his head. Still the prisoner ran. A
third shot by Holman entered the
mans back and he fell in a heap.

He was picked up and taken imme-

he was operated on this afternoon.
His condition is serious, Sheriff Hugh
Larimer said late this afternoon.
The prisoners were given exercise
while the jail was being fumigated
The sheriff has placed no blame on
Holman for the accident. 1t is con-
sdered that he was doing his duty in

Kansas May Keep Lid On To
Check Influenza.
Better To Pay for Shows and
Schools Than Funerals.
300 DEATHS A WEEK IN STATE
Two Per Cent of Number OF
Reported Cases In Kansas.
Two Thousand New Cases q
Day Are Developing.

Kansas may remain closed during
all of next week. Officials of the state
board of health will meet tomorrow
and determine what action should be
taken. DR.. ]. ]. Sippy,, epidemiologist
for the state board of health. said to-
day that he would recommend that
the closing order be kept in force an
other week at least.
I'VE are getting reports of about
the same number of new cases every
day." he said. Wichita, Kansas City,
Kan, and Topeka show increases and
there are large increases in southeast
Kansas In the sections where the
counties were closed two weeks ago
there is a marked abatement.
II expect to see the number of cases
run along about the same for the next
week and then will come the gradual
decrease. The matter of closing is a
serious proposition. 1t is serious from
an economic standpoint and then
comes the question of whether it is
better to pay for amusements and
schools than to pay for funerals. Some
county health officials have been told
that public sales outdoors might be
permitted next week if no lunches
were served and only grown folks per-
mitted to attend. Tt is urged that
the women keep away from these sales
too.
1--WE figure that the state is having
around three hundred deaths a week
from influenza and pneumonia caused
by influenza. This is approximately
two per cent and that is the history
of the disease in other states. The ac-
curate reports cannot be tabula ted un-
til the monthly reports of the vital
statistics registrars are available. Only
a few deaths are reported to us now.
During the first week the disease
was in the state, the new cases ran
100 day. During the second week
they ran 1900 a day, an increase of
seven hundred per cent. During the
third week, the present week, they
are averaging slightly less than two
thousand day, which indicates the
effectiveness of the closing order. With
out it Kansas would be reporting now
between six and seven thousand cases
a day and the death rate would be
higher than it is estimated"
Outdoor meetings may be permitted
in the state next week where neces-
sary to hold them. The question of
closing down entirely is going to be
largely determined by the local health
oflclals as the governors proclama-
ton left the matter of continuing the
closing to the local officials.
Doctors Are Busy.
The state board of health has been
authorized to order volunteer medical
reserve doctors to any localities where
they are peeded, but indications to-
day were that no aid from other states
could be expected. Also, reports from
show that all doctors and nurses are
working night and day and that they
cannot be spared for emergency calls.

AMERICAN KNOCKED
U-BOAT OUT
Sent Shot After Shot and Probably
Sunk TeutOn Submarine
CAssociated Press)

An Atlantic Port, March 1S.-At
the end of an hours battle between a
German submarine and an American
tank steamship, the Paulsboro of the
Vacuum Oil Co., which arrived here
yesterday, the U-boat was apparently
sunk, according to officers of the Am
erican vessel.
One of the crew of the tanker was
wounded by shell fired by the sub
marine. Two other shots struck the
American ship, which was not SER
iously damaged.
The fight took place in the Bristol
channel on February "A. The tanker
tried to escape and was pursued.
After the American vessel had been
within torpedo range for some time
without any attempt being made to
sink her in this way, the U-boat be-
gan shelling her.
The tanker halted and gave battle.
The officers said the shrapnel shells
fired by the American gun crew either
fell short or passed over the U-boat
for time, but finally one struck the
submarine fairly in the center and
she disappeared Immediately.

character. 1t was a farewell service

zens of the city for these two estima-
BILE brethren was shown by a congre-

gregations and asked them to attend

Mrs. Van Hood spoke on behalf oi

warm and tender message of love and
interest in DR.. Stephens and his wife
and also Mr.. Gary. In conclusion OF
