Died In Llbertys Cause.

On the wooded slope OF steep hill
that rises high over a great bend In

earth that is as much America as Is
the national cemetery at Arlington OF
the hnllowed ground of Gettysburg. II
IS a quiet and peaceful spot for al
though Paris is near-the slender pin
nacle of the Eiffel tower is in plRir
view over the trees-the city Is sepa
rated from the American cemetery at
Surnesnes by the green expanse of
the Bols de Boulogne. The heart of
the city that is the heart OF the world
IS not five miles away; you would
think II at least fifty. II Is n spot far
removed from war. and yet there are
enough of the accOutrements Of war
about II 10 remind the visitor that the
700 graves here nre the graves OF sol
dlers-mostly of soldiers who died of
their wounds on the journey in from
the front or at one of the hospitals in
or near the capital. Further up the
slope frown the ramparts Of the fort
Of Mount Valerien. one In the chain
OF defenses that surround Paris. Dur

field, the drone Of their motors never
So clear as In this quiet countryside.
And more warllke still. an occasional
cannon shot echoed from testing

will some day be rs green and fair a

SUCCESS OF LOAN
 HANGS IN BALANCE
Banks All Over Country Will Accept Subscriptions Up to Late Hour
 This Evening.

Washington, May 1G.-The success of the last popular American war loan was in the balance today. Up to late hour tonight banks will ac- cept subscriptions and then they will take ten days to report their sales. The degree of success will not be known definitely until some time after May 20. when each bank is required to render an accounting with the federal reserve bank of the district.
 The nation started it's final days drive with SS.S14,S7O,000 already pledged and clinched with initial payments of subscribers. At an early hour telegran1s began to reach na- tional loan headquarters in the treasury telling of new millions.
 All subscriptions of $10,000 or less will be taken in full, even if the loan total is absorbed. In this case, however subscriptions of more than that amount are liable to be pared down to keep the accepted sum to approximately S4,500, 0,000,000.
