Washington, April 30-An appeal
to all Liberty loan committees to in
augurate an intensive finish for the
third Liberty loan and to see that no
possible subscription is overlooked,
was sent out today by the treasury
department. The appeal contains
the following twelve suggestions Of
things that may yet be done to make
the third loan a big success;
Inaugurate a "buy another bond
campaign with the idea of getting
those who have subscribed a little
to subscribe little more.
See that the employees of every in
dustrial plant have been canvassed,
creating, if possible, committees of
employees to complete the work.
Find out if any plants need re-can-
vassing.
See if all stores and office build
ings have been completely can
vassed.
Call attention to the fact that the
desired 20,000,000 subscribers means
one bond buyer to every five people
or practically one to a family. Has
your community responded to this
extent?
Many Wealthy Men Hold OFF.
Many wealthy men and large in
stitutions are holding off on account
of paying large income taxes, hop
ing that their subscriptions will not
be needed. Impress upon them that
every possible subscription is need
ed, and remind them again that the
schedule OF government payments
on Liberty bonds calls for no pay
ments in the month of June.
Follow up all pledges and see that
all of those pledges materialize into
actual subscriptions.
Check up to see that each indi-
yidual and community has done its
share.
Ascertain if those communities
where quotas have been reached are
alive to the necessity of continuing
the battle for large over-subscrip-
tions and wide distribution.
Take advantage of the fact that
May l is payday and good day for
thousands to make initial payments.
See that individuals and firms
which benefit from war business in
crease their subscriptions in adc-
quate proportions.
Many women whose husbands
have already subscribed can buy
bonds on their own account. Make
an appeal to them.
Appeal to your newspapers to
publish these suggestions in the
hope that they will serve as remind
ers of new opportunities for sub
scriptions.
Slow Districts Show Gains.
The Atlanta district, which has
stood lowest in the percentage col
umn, showed sudden increase of
S2O,OOO,OOO in subscriptions. Other
districts recorded unusual gains
yesterday. he Cleveland district re-
ported a gain of $26,000,000.
In the Dallas district, the lead
ing cities standing is reported as
follows: San Antonio, 100 per cent;
Galveston, l0l; Houston, 9; Fort
Worth, l07; Austin, rs; Shreve-
port, %.
Arizona is one per cent past its
goal and Louisiana stands a little
above 100 per cent. Texas has
subscribed 80 per cent of its quota.

U-Boat Crew of 80, Captives
OfU.S. Destroyers, Coming
Prisoners Taken by Tanning and Nicholson
from Conquered U5S On Way to
America for Detention.

Thirty-nine men, comprising the
crew of the German submarine us.
are on their way to this country after
being captured at sea in November by
the United States destroyers Tanning
and Nicholson.
They will be taken TO a detention
camp and kept until the war ends, but
whether or not other sea prisoners
will be brought to this country is be-
ing determined by the government.
Sighted Periscope.
The destroyers were escorting a con-
voy when the lookout OF the Tanning,
Coxswain David d. Loomis. sighted a
small periscope about a foot above
water. The destroyer headed for the
spot and three minutes afterward
dropped q depth bomb.
The Nicholson also sped toward the
spot as the submarine seemed to be
making for one OF the merchant ves-
sells. This destroyer dropped a depth
bomb also. At that moment the con-
ming tower of the submarine came to
the surface between the Nicholson
and the convoy. The Nicholson fired
three shots.
rapidly. She was down by the stern
but righted herself and seemed to in
crease her speed. AS the Nicholson
cleared, the Tanning headed for the
U-boat firing. After, the third shot the
crew of the submarine all came on
deck and held up their hands.
The submarine surrendered eighteen
minutes after being first sighted.
The Tanning approached the sub
marine and passed a line to her. but
she sank in a few minutes. The
men had to jump into the water. The
four officers and thirty-five men were
all taken prisoners.
Crews Commended by British.
They were given hot coffee and
warm clothing. The German officers
said the first depth charge had
wrecked the submarines machinery

SEN. Jones WANTS
DAILY COMMUNIQUE
Thinks People Should Know What
American Troops Are Doing.

Senator Wesley L. Jones. of Wis
consin, is highly enthusiastic over
the idea of daily communique
from Gen. Pershing telling the
news of American troops to Amer
lean people.
II certainly think such a system
should be instituted" he said to-
night" 1 think we ought to know
just where our troops are. It would
put US close in touch with them and
that Is what is needed for their bene-
fit and for the benefit Of the people
at home.
There seems no reason why we
shouldn't know. The Germans know,
and If they know already 1 can't see
why We should not The Germans
usually seem to inform US of our
troop movement before we hear from
any other source.
81 have thought all the-time that we
should have such a plan. We need
more information about our soldiers -

ALLIES READY
FOR GERMANY'S
NAYALATTACK
Uncle Sam Is There and
Threatened Battle Deem
ed Camouflage.

The German menace against the
Channel ports has long ago been
recognized and provided against by
the allied war lords. Naval DISPOSE
tions-in which United States ves-
sells of every class have a large
share-were taken weeks before
the opening of the German spring
offensive. These dispositions. IT is
confidently asserted in naval circles
here, will more than offset any pos
sible German capture of these
ports.
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
Franklin d. Roosevelt admitted that
reports Of preparations for sally
from KieI had reached the Navy De-
partment from many sources, pre-
vious to the publication OF the re-
port from Geneva Saturday morning.
-Of course we do not know" he
said, whether these reports are
genuine, or whether they have been
nut out deliberately for some GER
man purpose to deceive
Last nights reports, indicating that
the British are making their staho
and that the German advance has
been stopped. were not considered
to dispose of the possibility of
German naval sally. II Is oehe'ed
that the sally might be made as
part of the German enort 10 cap
ture the Channel ports.
The announcement by Secretary
DapIels recently that American sub
marines have crossed the Atlantic
makes it possible to say without
violation of censorship that the
United States is now powerfully rep
resented in the overseas naval area
by ships of every kind. from the
latest super-Drednoughts to the
most modern of submarines and sub
marine chasers.
With the TeutOn forces so close
TO the Channel ports, highly valua-
BILE TO the Germans in psychology
icaI il in no other sense, it is con-
fidentIy expected that the German
high seas fleet may be lured to sea
The advantage of a big German
naval demonstration in the rear OF
Haig's hard pressed men is not
neglected. It is recognized that the
thunder of German guns in the
Straits of Dover might well shat
ter even the splendid morale of the
hard fighting Scots and Lancashires
and West County troops that have
been sticking to their posts so gall
IantIy in Flanders. But naval oft1-
GERS here insist that that day will
never come.
They say that any laundering
German naval guns do will be done
for to the northeast Of the Straits
of Dover, and that 1t will be a fare
we'll for the iron throats that at
tempt to speak.
