"cToRY LOAN GOES OVER The TOP,

The fifth and last popular war
loan Of the United States has been
| oversubscrfbed.
Although the approximate total
subscriptions will not be known for
nearly two weeks, figures available
SHOW that the American people have
responded generously to the appeal to
finish the job"
Like all Of its predecessors, the
Victory Liberty Loan suddenly Jump
ed on the last day Of the campaign
above the mark set as its limit. The
day brought an avalanche Of sub
scrlpttonS which banks could not at
tempt to count until the first of the
week. None of Saturdays harvest
was included in the total OF s3,S49,-
63S,OOO subscriptions officially tabu-
lated Saturday night by the Treas
ury, and officials would not be sur
prised to see the final figures go to
nearly $6,00O,O0O,OOO. Only s4.7
500,00O,0OO will be accepted
Late Saturday Secretary Glass is
sued this statement:
While the official reports to the
Treasury, Department show only So
S49, ,63S,OOO subscribed up to noon
is already largely oversubscribed,
Saturday, unofficial advices from the
several districts indicate that without
any doubt the Victory Liberty Loan
with every district making a deter
mined effort to gather in every pos
sible subscription before midnight.
Thus for the fifth time the coun-
try has met the call of the Treasury
Department for the funds required,
and the great Liberty Loan organiza-
tion has once again proved it's metal"
The only gauge by which officials
could attempt to estimate subscrip-
tions not tabulated was provided by
| the record Of the fourth Liberty Loan
when $2,392,000.0OO was reported
after the subscription drive had ceas-
ed. The last reports obtainable when
| the fourth campaign ended showed
S4,599 100000 already tabulated, or
76 per cent. of the $6,OOO,O0O,OOO
total, although final subscriptions
amounted to $6,991, 100000. Up to
Saturday, in the fifth loan campaign,
S5.54 per cent. of the total sought
had been pledged.
Official figures Saturday night
showed that the Minneapolis, St.
Louis and Cleveland districts had al
ready raised more than 100 per cent,
and the Chicago district reported
that it's quota had certainly reached
that mark, although tabulation Of
figures to support the claim could not
be completed.

GERMANY STUNNED BY PEACE TERMS.

Germany's reply to the terms OF
reace presented at Versailles on
Wednesday last will be a proposal
for peace of right on the basis OF
lasting peace of the nations" ac-
cording to a proclamation to the Ger
man people issued by President
Ebert
The proclamation says the treaty
would deliver German labor to for
eign capitalism for the indignity of
wage slavery and permanently fetter
the young German republic"
The proclamation closes with an
appeal to the German people to stand
together, knowing no parties and to
preserve with the Government :nu-
tual trust in the path of duty in the
belief of the triumph of reason and
right.
A week of mourning" has been
decreed by the Government to give
expression to the sorrow and depres-
sion" called rorth by the announce
ment of the peace terms. The week
will begin Sunday.
The decree provides that public
of eight days. Its provisions affect
the first-class theatres in the same
manner as the popular cabarets.
Dancing, horse-racing and gambling
will be suppressed for the week and
the occasion probably will be used to
put a definite end to the gambling
frenzy that is holding Greater Ber-
lin lit its tentacles. A season of soul
searching would seem to be the most
probable reaction to the frivolity and
gambling which has been in progress
On the day the peace terms were
published the Karlhorst race track
took in more than 10000 marks in
gate receipts, while the betting sheds
distributed 100000 marks.
During the week Of mourning the
Cabinet expects that the federated
states will give loyal support to it's
endeavor to have every city, town
and hamlet observe the occasion.
Germany is not mourning but
bluffing, at any rate showing a very
urbecoming spirit in a people who
have backed the Kaiser and his gov
crnment in all the devilment of the
last four years.

TO AID FRANCE,

In response to an inquiry from Sec
retary Tumulty, President Wilson
cabled he had promised France to
propose to the Senate in connection
with the peace treaty, "a supplement
in which we shall agree, subject to
the approval Of the council of the
league Of nations, to come immedi-
ately to the assistance of France in
case of unprovoked attack by Ger

TRAINED BOXERS IN U, S. ARMY,

Three million and more men were
trained in boxing in the nineteen
months the United States was in the
var. This total was disclosed when
the Commission on Training Camp
Activities compiled the figures sub
mitted by their physical directors in
the different camps. The compilation
was made at the request of the his
torical arm Of the war department.
With many Of the men in the camps
the instruction in the simplest moves
in boxing had to be started at the be-
ginning. Many Of the regiments had
only one or two men, proficient in the
sport and one regiment at Camp
Jackson was able to demonstrate that
not one man in the entire organiza-
tion had worr a glove before coming
to the camp. Men close to the box
ing game are responsible for the
guess that not more than three thous-
and men before the war received as
much training in the arts Of self de-
Tense and offense as the three mil

BERGER CLAIMS HIS SEAT IN CONGRESS-

Victor Berger of Milwaukee. who
was elected to the House of Repre-

a letter to members-elect in which he
presents his claims to be seated in
the new House. The letter is accom-

case and other documents bearing
upon the charge OF which he was
convicted.
Berger is now out of jail waiting
the outcome of his appeal to the Su-
preme Court. Under the rules of the
House, the Sergeant-at-Arms has sent
checks 10 Mr.. Berger for his salary
for March. April and May as a men,
ber-elect, while the Clerk of the
House has refused to send him the
usual check for his secretary.
Indications are that the House,
acting upon the lead of Speaker Gill
lett. will refuse to seat Mr.. Berger
Mr.. Gillet, in his campaign for Speak
er, announced that he woud oppose
the seating of Berger, asserting at
the time that there were many pre-
cedents for the House declining to
seat a member-elect who had been
convicted.
There seems to be a strong senti-
ment among the members Of both
parties to act Immediately upon Ber-
gers case by rejecting him when he
appears to take the oath of Office
Such action requires only majority
vote, but if he is permitted to be
seated and move is made to un-
seat him two-thirds vote OF the
House must then be obtained.
