BUENOS AIRES, May b. Today's
anarchistic demonstration was a fiat
failure as result of the activities of
the vigilance committees which, in
spite of the announced suspension of
the anarchist plans for a manifesto
tion, took up positions shortly after
noon in all the plazas to prevent the
informal gatherings. Members of the
committees wore white handkerchiefs
around their sleeves and 10 other
civilians were permitted to cross the
plazas or stand on the sidewalks.
DR.. Manuel Carries, president of the
Argentine Patriotic League, which or
ganized the vigilance committees, Wis.
tied each committee during the day
and made short address on Argentin-
ian traditions. Plazos which we're
known to be selected as centers for the
demonstrations were guarded by eigh,
mounted men armed with rifles.

BERLIN, Saturday, May 3.-News-
papermen, with the German peace del
egation at Versailles are sending gen.
orally conservative accounts Of their
experiences, but Schuermann, the
correspondent of the German Gazette.
who welded trenchant, bitter pen
during the war, does not disguise his
disgust at the treatment given the
Germans by the French. He deyotes
the most of his report today to "the
freedom of movement" accorded the
German delegation, which, he says, is
restricted to limits.
He tells OF a stenographer who
sought to purchase tooth powder at a
drugstore, and nearly caused diplo-
matte breach the incident ending
with her expulsion from the store.
The writer says that American cor
respondents, believing they could
move about as freely as they do in
Berlin" tried to interview member
of the German delegation on its arriv-
al, but were sharply denied the priv.
ilege.
Schuermann complains of the high
prices, especially since the German
mark must be transformed into francs
and says the charge for making the
exchange is exorbitant. He closes
by saving: Trench men are neither
too petty nor proud to do cheap busi-
ness with enemy delegates.n

The matter will not be determined

The ground will be bought for both
schools and plans and specifications

WAYNE LOAN
DRIVE LACKS
100000 OF
TOTAL ASKED
Jackson Latest Township to
Exceed Quota and Others
Are Adding Subscriptions to
Apportionment.
CLAY, over, WORKS ON

With the announcement Monday
that Jackson township had gone over
her Victory loan quota of $150,000,
and that increases had been turned in
by several other townships as a re-
suit of the strenuous work of last
week, the total for the county outside
OF Wayne township was announced
today by loan officials as being $612,-
500 in subscriptions actually made.
This total of over three-fourths the
quota of 100000 for the outside town
ships was made without announce
ments from Dalton or Harrison town
ships, which are thought to have
raised at least part of their quota.
Dalton has been reported as having
$4.100 of her $18, 900 quota, but Coun-
ty Chairman Lewis G. Reynolds did
not add this sum for fear of repetition.
In Harrison workers were busy the
last days of last week, but had not
yet made report, so that Reynolds
is confident the real total is more than
that announced.
Clay Still Subscribing.
Clay township folks just can't stop
subscribing" according to the Monday
report, turning in total of $50, $50, al
though Clay was over her quota of
$4,000 several days ago. Green, also
over, added another $1,400 for good
measure, and New Garden went $500
toward her goal of 0,000. Washing
ton added $4,000 to the last report
published, in her effort to reach $780,
500, and Webster added $3.50 to its
subscription.
Arlington township has only $4,000
of her $32, 500 quota, but County Chair
man Reynolds calls attention to the
fact that every dollar of that sum has
been sent to the committee volun-
tari1y.
There are doubtless many citizens
who wish to subscribe In the same
way" he said, "and / ask that anyone
In Arlington township wanting some oil

plication direct to the county commit.
tee Any other citizen of the county
who has not been approached is asked

VIII Keep Up Drive.
The campaign will go on until the
last dollar is raised" said Reynolds
Monday
Just as soon as Wayne has her 81,
100000 we can all go back to work
but until that time we are going te
work and talk Victory Loan.
'"The money is coming in slowly, but
it must come in faster. Anyone who
has not yet bought bonds and who
wishes to buy, is asked to come for
ward and communicate with the cen
trail committee, or with one of the
banks"
Karl K. Meyers, head of the city
committee, said that he had no re
port to make until Tuesday. The tota
for the county with the township gains
announced Monday, was $1,402 900, al
most 100000 short Of the $500, 00(
quota.
