Great Enthusiasm
Washington, April 6. One year
from the day the United States en
tered the world war the nation start
ed today collecting $3,000,000,000 from
its citizens as the third Liberty Loan
to finance the fighting.
It was a day of patriotic celebra
tions, of parades of soldiers, sailors
and civilians marching together to
symbolize the important part each
must play inwinning the war.
"Buy bonds" this was the plea ut
tered by hundreds of public speakers
to the multitudes of men and women
who must furnish the financial and
material sinews for the military and
naval forces. Subscriptions began to
roll in early and indications were
that many millions would be pledged
before night, despite the fact that in
many cities the day was given over to
the celebration rather than to bond
Bales.
Piesident Wilson was the principal
speaker on the day's program. He
is to go to Baltimore for an evening
address of unusual importance, con
sidering the big part American arm
ies aie ebout to play in France
other international phases pf the war
situation.

an hour after the campaign official
ly opened three towns reported by
telegrapbr to Liberty Loan headquar
ters here hat they had subscribed
their full quotas. The names of the
communities were withheld until the
precise time , the messages were filed
had been determined.
By 10 o'clock more than 20 towns
had wired headquarters claiming the
distinction . of being the first to sub
scribe their quotas and it began to
appear an impossible task to deter
mine which community actually was
entitled to the honor.
Since the campaign at 9 o'clock, lo
tal time, communities in the "JVest
still have from one to three hours to
ile their reports.
Before noon telegrams announcing
towns' over-subscriptions began to
pour in loan headquarters, faster than
they could be tabulated. Several were
from communities whose campaign
.committees apparently liad not un
derstood that claims for the honor
flag filed before 9 o'clock this morn
zing would" not be considered, since
Ihey had been started last night.
Among' the communities whose re
Torts of over-subscription were filed
before 9 cciock were Oldesmar, Fla.,

Big Subscriptions In New York.
New York, April 6. New York, the
financial center of the nation, launch
ed its Liberty Loan campaign with
impromptu patriotic demonstrations at
midnight, nine hours before the time
set for the official start, and a floo3
iOf early subscriptions encouraged the
belief that its ambition to raise at
least half of the entire loan in this
i'ederal Reserve District might be at
tained. The district's quota, as allot
ted by the Treasury Department is
$900,000,000, or 30 per cent, of the to
tal amount desired.
Amang the largest of the subscrip
tions reported today was $10,500,000
rom the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, of which $500,000 will be
Tedite to its San Francisco office.
The committee has been advised that
toany of the large corporations here,
"will announce their subscriptions dur
ing the day instead ot waiting until
the end of the drive as in previous
campaigns.
Numerous parades and patriotic
meetings in all five boroughs were
distinctive features. The largest pa
rade at noon was from the financial
district to the steps of the City Hall,
here Mayor Hylan received ther
army of workers.
Seven American airplanes from
Hineola, L. I., will circle over Manhat
tan today and drop 20,000 pieces of
literature.
A subscription of $15,000,000 was
announced by the New York Life In

"was allotted to banks in Federal Re

i and s FUTURE IS
AT THE CRUCIAL STAGE
Convention Finishes Its Work
and is Ready to Make
Report
London, April 6 The question of
Ireland's future has reached a crucial
stage with the announcement that
the Irish convention has finished its
work and decided upon a report to
be mae to the government.
, While it is not permitted to reveal
jthe convention's proceeding? for the
present, th nature of this report and
the general work of the convention 1
well known to public men in England
and Ireland. Premier Lloyd-George
declared when the convention was or
ganized that if it agreed upon any
plan for a government its plan would
be embodied in a bill and placed be
fore Parliament). Whether a mere
majority report in favor of some
home rule plan, if such a report is
presented by the convention, will be
an agreement warranting legislation'
based on It, remains to be seen.
Premier Lloyd-George also strongly
Intimated that the government might
proceed to a settlemen of the Irish
problem by legislation even if the
convention failed to find some ground
for settlement "by consent." There-
f ore, 'new Irish developments are ex
Pected in th nar future, although the
firsts business before the government
must be in dealing with urgent war
measures, chiefly that for increasing
the army.

AUSTRIA WANTED
Paris, April 6. Former Premier Paul
Painleve, after reading the official
government statement confirming
Premier Clemenceau's denial that
conversations concerning vpeace -had
been held betwen Austria and Franc,
made the following statement:
"During the year 1917, Austria
made several attempts to open semi
official negotiations with the Entente
Allies. Notably in June, 1917, I was
advised by the second bureau that
Austria, through the personage of
Count Revertata had several times
asked through a Swiss intermediary
for an interview with the officer at
tached to the second bureau, Major
Armand, a distant relative. Alexan
dre RIbot, then premier, having been
consulted, Major Armend and Count
Revertata met in August, 1917. Tha
matter stopped there and no Inter
view took place from August iV'X
November, when I left office. The
events which occurred afterward nat
urally are unknown to me, but I pre
sume that after the statements made
by Premier Clemenceau, that Count
ReveYtata returned to the charge."

er giving details to the committee.
"Our officers and men are equally
brave. They are endowed with the
best qualities of our race. They pos
sess material means of great power.
All this permits us to have confi
dence." The Premier's summary of the sit
uation made an excellent impression
upon the deputies. The Premier told

ery facility for observing the opera
tions at the front. Two Senators

ing the destruction recently of 10
German submarines by naval aircraft,

ports. The first case is described as
follows :
"While on patrol in the English

90 miles' an hour. The submarii at
tempted to escape by submerging but
was just awash as the seaplane reach
ed a bombing position and released
two bombs, one of which exploded on
the conning tower. The seaplane
dropped two more bombs into the
midst of the air bubbles from the co'
lapsed submarine, which was of the
largest type, carrying two guns.
"At dawn a seaplane sighted a large
submarine on the surface with a
member of the crew standing by the
gun. The seaplane dropped a bomb
on the tail of the U-boat and after
ward photographed the sinking sob
marine with a big hole in its deck.
A second bomb was dropped close tc
the submarine's bow and the U-boat
collapsed.
"Two seaplanes attacked a large
submarine traveling on the surface at
14 knots with two men in the con
ning tower. - A bomb was erTvlnderl
close- totheft1aattigtower and- th
submarine began to sink, 'stern'-first.
A bomb from a seaplane completed
the work.
"Three patrol planes sighted a large
submarine as it was submerging and
dropped two bombs close to the con
ning tower, causing the submarine to
turn turtle and disappear in a mass
of oil and wreckage.
"A seaplane sighted a submarine
close to the surface and dropped two
bombs. One bomb was ineffective,
but the other hit the deck fairly amid
ships. The submarine was hidden by
the smoke of the explosion and when
the smoke cleared the U-boat was
sinking with both ends in the air. '
"A seaplane sa-w the track of a tor
pedo fired at a merchantman. It
dived toward the surface and sighted
the black shadow of the submarine,
well below the surface. It dropped
two bombs and both exploded close
to the submarine, which resulted in
a large quantity of oil, bubbles and
wreckage.
"Two seaplanes sighted a U-boat
and dropped a bomb each. The first
bomb caused a heavy list to the U
boat which began to sink.
"The second bomb eloded in the
center of the swirl, demolishing the
U-boat.
"A seaplane dropped a bomb on a
submarine just emerging and the D
boat disappeared with a heavy list to
port. The pilot dropped a socond
bomb into the swirl and a few min
utes later a patch of oil 150 feet long
and 12 feet wide appeared on the sur
face. "A naval airship at midday sighted
v suspicious patch of oil and cleared
it io an effort to ascertain the cause.
Suddenly a periscope broke the sur
face in the midst of he oil. Tne air
ship dropped a bomb close to the peri
scope and a series of bubbles bsgan
appearing, indicating that the dam
aged submarine was moving slowly
under the water. Several more bombs
were dropped in the path indicated
until satisfactory evidence was ob
tained of the enemy's destruction.
"An airship dropped two bombs
over a submarine which was engaged
in attacking merchantmen. Great
patches of oil and bubbles indicated
severe damage and trawlers made
this complete by depth chaiges."

MARKET DULL
DURINGPAST WEEK
Transactions for the Full Five
Sessions Below 1 ,000,000
Shares
New York, April . 6. Dullness was
the striking feature of the week in
the stock market, transactions for the
five full sessions falling far below
one million shares.
This probabily constitutes a min
imum of operations for any similar
period since the, beginning of tha
war, and expresses in definite terms
the interest of the financial communi
ty in the progress of the world con
flict. In banking circles attention was
mainly directed toward the third Lib

with every prospect of 'a large over

Wilson today signed the bill creatine:
a government corporation with capi-
tal of $500,000,000 and antho
issue $3,000,000,000 in bonds for the
assistance of essential war industries.
The fighting in the southerly areas
has resolved itself into a violent bat
tle, following which the probabilities
are that the Germans will make an
other effort to advance from the posi
tions in whic hthye have been pinned
by the French.
The early advices on today's fight
ing, made it seem likely that the op
eration would be an important one.
Advancing from Vaire wood, close to
pie Somme, the Germans pushed .-in
dense waves toward Corbie lying in
the narrow strip between the Ancre
and the Somme, near the junction
of these rivers.
