AHEAD McAdoo Pronounces It Most Successful in Subscrib ers and Cash Wintblngton, May 18.—The total of the Third Liberty Loan is 14,170,019.- 650, an oversubscription of thirty nine per oent. above the three bil lion minimum sought. The number of subscribers was about 17,000,000. Every Federal Reserve district over subscribed, the Minneapolis district going to 172 per cent., the highest, and the New York district to 124 per cent., the lowest. In announcing these figures, near ly two weeks after the campaign closed, the Treasury explained that the total may be changed slightly by later reports from Federal Reserve banks, which have been at work for a week tabulating the great number of subscriptions which came in dur ing the last days of the campaign. "This is the most successful loan the United States has offered, both in number of subscribers and in the amount realized," said Secretary Mc- Adoo in a statement. Far Exceeda Former I.oitnn Total subscriptions to the Second Loan were $4,616,000,000, and the amount accepted was $3,806,000,000. Pledges to the First Loan ran above $3,000,000,000, but the loan was lim ited to $2,000,000,000. Subscribers to the Second Loan numbered about 9,500,000, and to the First Loan about 4.500,000. of their abilities—it presents not a few difficulties to the movie maker. Intertwined with the jungle story is a domestic narrative which grows tedious at times, and the expedient of the cut-back is resorted to a trifle too much. All of this is more than compensated for, however, by the stirring scenes of the jungle. A ma jority of these were photographed in Brazil, and several hundred na tives appear before the camera. The picture as a whole, in addition to be ing interesting, also has a touch of educational value. An actor named Elmo Lincoln meets the difficult re. quirements of the hero satisfactorily. "The Smarter Set" Company, an organization Of colored talent, will be the attraction "The Smarter Set"- at the Orpheum on next Saturday, matinee and night. Each year these players present a new play, and the offering this season is a new musical creation called "My People," in the music and comedy of the race. Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt are the co-stars of the company, and are ably supported by Daisy Martin and Lena Sanford Roberts. Some of the musical numbers were especially written for this production. There are dancing numbers, in which it is said that the performers are seen in their element, and there is a bronze chorus which is heard to advantage." The of the plot is said to be kept well in the foreground. The new Mary Pickford vehicle, 'M'Liss," shown at the Regent Thea- ter for the last at Regent times to-day, is Mary I'ickford said to contain most of the ele ments of the western plays, and the charm "Our Mary" brings to the screen, as well as good support and directing. A real circus, with adjuncts, Is shown in "The Biggest Show On Earth," the new Thomas H. Ince- Paramount photoplay, starring Enid Bennett, which will be shown next Monday and Tuesday. In this photo play Miss Bennett will be seen as .a lion tamer.

The engagement of "Leave It to Jane," at the LaSalle. Theater, Chi cago. has again been.extended. Origi nally hooked for six weeks, this musi cal show scored such a tremendous success that it has been staying on and on and attracting the largest and best pleased audiences in Chicago. It opened in the Windy City in Janu ary. and judging from present at tendance it bids fair to celebrate the Fourth of July in* that vicinity. Long Range Gun Causes New Rules Pari*. lt's a far cry from the gay "Paree" of the ante-bellum days to the Paris that amuses itself to-day. In consequence of the events of the past weeks, what with day light-bombard ments and nocturnal air raids, a de cision of the Prefect of Police forbade matinee performances in the cinemas and theaters. Evening performances were curtailed altogether a short time before, but were resumed with slight modifications in the hours for raising the curtain. Recently a meeting of a group of theater and cinema hall directors was called to discuss the steps to be taken in the interests of the public. M. Pams, Minister of the Interior, in formed them that he had decided to authorize matinees under the follow ing conditions: If there is no bombardment by the gun between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m., the matinee will take place. If there is a bombardment there will he no matinees. If there is a bombardment during the performances the buildings will be evacuated in the same way as on the occasion of Ootha raids.

The only action necessary to bring about the out door market is Coun cil's approval. As an ordinance would be needed providing the sus pension of traffic on Second street between Adams and Pine streets on certain days of each week. The plan has been discussed In meetings of the Municipal League and Civic Club and members are heartily in favor of it. Although no definite action has been taken by these two bodies, it is probable that In the near future resolutions will be passed asking council to endorse the move nod pass an ordinance permitting the market. Burgess McEntee. who is also president of the Municipal League favors a move of this kind, believ ing that it will eliminate to some ex tent, the practice of hucksters and produce merchants driving through town stopping at each door to sell their products, and will also tend to keep the prices of produce lower. Couneilmen on several occasions have discussed the project in council meetings but no action has been taken. Few Loafers In Borough Chief Grove Declares With the exception of a few cases Steelton has a clean slate when it comes to loafers, accord ing to Chief of Police Grove. The police official declares that he has found only few persons in the bor ough who are not employed at the present time. Unprecedented high was-es and good working conditions In the steel plant, the police official says, is largely responsible. In some sections of the borough the popula tion is made up of foreigners and negroes who are sometimes Inclined to become tired and refuse to work. All these men the Chief says are now working and there are no loaf ers about. If by chance a man in' good health Is found to be out of work lie is told by the police to se cure a position at once. By this method the local department keeps at work the few residents in the town who are inclined to loaf. Finance Committee Fails to Make Wage Adjustment Failure of the finance committee of Council to provide a new scale of wages for workmen in the borough highway department is said to have caused considerable dissatisfaction among the men. When laborers' wages at the steel plant were In creased. In order to keep the few men the highway department al ready had, E. C. Henderson told them they would be given a similar scale of wages. Council at its last meet ing. on the recommendation of Chair man Henderson, authorized the finance committee to up a new scale. Up to this time no action has been taken by the committee. It is understood. A member of the committee said to-day that the rea son the adjustment was not made was on account of being out of town at different times. This member said that the new scale will be made up and in all probability some announcement in regards to the adjustment will be made on Monday. Safety First Meeting to Be Held on Thursday The "Get-togetlrer" meeting of superintendents, foremen and safety first committeemen of the local steel plant which was to have been held last Thursday will be held on Thurs day evening in the High school au ditorium, according to an announce ment made by plant officials this morning.

The demonstration last evening was one that will not be soon for gotten.

Haeckel Expecting Death, ays Farewell Amsterdam. Professor Ernest Haeckel, the great German exponent of the Darwinian theory, is reported by the German newspapers to be in failing health. On his 84th birthday he sent out to his friends an en graved birthday card, bidding them all farewell, and declaring that he expected to die before next winter. His valedictory expresses the hope that "soon after the end of this mad, culture-destroying war. our longed-for "German peace will be firmly established on a scientific basis. AMERICAN~ARMY GROWS IN POWER [Continued front First Pago.] usually marks the coming of a blow against the allied lines. The enemy, it is believed in Lon don, is preparing for a mighty at tack greater in force if possible, than the smash on March 21 along the 50-mile front southward from Arras. The Germans, however, are having difficulty in tilling up their greatly depleted ranks, some divi sion's having lost more than fifty per cent —one seventy per cent —of their affecthes in the recent fighting. In addition, the allied artiljery Is caus ing with German preparations near the front lines while their rail way stations and billets behind the lines are under an almost continuous rain of bombs dropped by allied air men. Both Sides Gain Strength Enemy artillery and man power concentrations probably become stronger as Field Marshal Von Hin denburg leiays a new advance, but the allied defenses gain strength in the same ratio and a new source of fighting power, the American army grows in power. General Pershing's men are nov.' on both the important battle fronts—Flanders and Picardy, but in what numbers it is not dis closed. Their coming, however, is having a great moral effect on the British p.nd French and the longer the Germans delay the greater will the American aid become. Aerial activity is the most promi nent. feature of the news from the fightinp zones. French and British airmen have dropped many more tons of explosives on enemy military targets while the Germans are be coming more active in attempts to get behind the allied lines. In aerial fighting the British have brought down 35 German machines, while British guns accounted for ten more. Eerlin claims the destruc tion of 18 allied airplanes. Another attempt to raid Paris Friday night failed. Yankee Front Is Busy On the American sectors west of Montdidier, northwest of Toul and in.Lorraine the fighting also has in creased The American position in Picardy and in Lorraine are being bombarded heavily by the Germans. The artillery fire has fallen off In the Toul sectpr, but American patrols are active there. A plot in the Interest of Germany has been discovered in Ireland. An nouncement of this latest develop ment in Irish affairs was made in a proclamation issued by the Lord Lieutenant calling on all loyal Irish men to aid the government in put ting down the conspiracy. Four prominent Sinn Fein leaders, includ ing Prof De Valera, the president, have been arrested, as has Dr. Dil lon. Three of the Sinn Feiners were active in the Dublin revolt in Easter wetk of 1916. The proclamation calls upon the Irish to enlist voluntarily to aid in maintenance of the government and says measures will be taken to facilitate such recruiting. This may be an Indication that the government has decided not to enforce conscrip tion at once. AMERICANS ASKED TO HONOR ITALY Governor Proclaims Anniver sary of That Country's Entry Into War people of Penn sylvania to honor . the Italians on j next Friday, May 24, tho fourth an niversary of the entry of the Ital fcafeKJ ian kingdom into the world war.

Dorsett hard a stormy time with the place as the Commission of Agriculture refused to confirm him in November and only at the express direction of Governor Martin G.

Since that time Dorsett has been serving as a member of the farm ad visory corps and has been at the bu reau a number of times, having vir tually been the director for a time Lately J. Wallace llallowell, Jr., of Philadelphia, was acting as director, but he resigned. Dorsett was here this week, looking over matters con nected with the bureau. It Is said that some of the state officials want him to take charge again and that if the commission declines to confirm him that it may be an excuse for the long delayed reorganization of the commission toy the Governor. 11111 Deserted.—There have been few times in recent years that Cap itol Hill has been deserted on the eve of a primary as at present. Sat urday is generally a holiday, but there were hardly any people there even for the week end business. Most of the departments have been closed until after the primary, the men hav ing gone to their homes to look after the election. The state administration has gone to unusual lengths to line up men for the highway commis sioner. Taber Retires.—Albert L. Taber, Philadelphia, one of the oldest bank examiners in the state service, has been succeeded by Thomas Dixon, of Philadelphia, according to an an nouncement made to-day by Com missioner of Banking Daniel F.

His account follows: "I left our station In a British sea plane as pilot, with Sublieutenant Eric Moore, of the Royal Naval Air Service, as observer, at 9 a. m. Qur duty was to convoy patrols. When two hours out, having met our ships coming from the westward, we thought we sighted a periscope ahead and turned off in pursuit. We lost our course. Our engine dropped dead and at 11.30 o'clock forced us to land on the surface of a rough sea. Release .Carrier Pigeons We had no kite nor radla to call for assistance, so we released our two carrier pigeons. We tied a mes sage with our positions and the work 'Sinking' on each. The tlrst, the blue-barred one, flew straight off and reached home. But the other, which was white checked, lit on our ma chine. and would not budge until Moore threw our navigation clock at him, which probably upset him, so that he failed us. "Heavy seas smashed our tall planes, which kept settling. I saw that they were pulling the machine down by the rear, turning her over. We tore the tail fabric to lessen the Impact of the waves. It wasn't any use to stop. The tail flat was smashed and its box filled with wa ter. This increased the downward leverage and rose her perpendicular ly in the air. At 2.30 p. m. tire cap sized, climbing up the nose and 'over the top' to the under side of the pontoons. Soaked and Lashed by Sen "Our emergency ration had been in the observer's seat at the back, but we had been so busy trying to repair the motor and save ourselves from turning over that we didn't re member this until too late. When I crawled aft for food Moore uw that I was only helping the machine to capsize. He yelled to me to come back and I did just in time to save myself from being carried down with the tail and drowned. From then on for nearly four days, until picked up by a trawler, were were contin ually soaked and lashed -by seas and with nothing to eat or drink. We had nothing to cling to and so tb keep from being washed overboard we got upon the same pontoon and hugged our arms about one another's bodies for the whole time. We suf fered from thirst. I had a craving for canned peaches. Twice a drizzle came on. wetting the pontoon. Wa turned on our stomachs and lapped up the moisture, but the paint came off with salt and nauseated us. "Our limbs grew numb. From time to time the wreckage from torpedoed ships-would pass. Once two full bis cuit tins came close enough to swim for, but by then in our weakened state we knew that we would drown if we tried to get them. We did haul in a third tin and broke it open, it was filled with tobacco. Vainly Waved For Help "Every day we saw convoys in the distance and vainly waved our hand kerchiefs. We had no signal lights to use at night. Our watches stopped and we lost all track of time. We realized how easy it was for a submarine out there to escape being spotted. On Sunday night we spied a masthead light and shouted. The ship heard and began to circle us. We saw her port light. She headed straight towards us until within 100 yards. Then, when the crew were visible on the deck of the vessel, she suddenly put out her lights and turned away. 'She thinks we are Huns,' said Moore. 'I hope she does,' said I. 'Then they'll send patrol boats out to get us. We couldn't be worse off if we were Ger mamV But no rescue came. On Monda yafternoon a seaplane came from the seas. It was flying only 800 feet overhead, aiming down the channel. It seemed impossible that she could not sight us. for the air was perfectly clear. But she passed straight above without making any signal, flew two miles beyond and came back on her course. 'Her ob server must be sending wireless about us,' I said. 'Yes, that is why we get no recognition,' said Moore. 'And now she's decided to go back and report.' But that plane hadn't even seen us. "Our spirits fell. We had been afraid of two things, being picked up by neutral ships' and interned, or captured by an enemy submarine. Now we even hoped that the enemy —that anything—would get us to end it all. "'A ship would have to run us down before seeing us,' I said. SlKhtH Trmvler After U>Boat "We sighted a trawler about 6 p. m. on Tuesday. She had just been chasing a submarine aijd so did not seem to take us ver yseriously at first. We waved at her for half an hour before she changed her course. We were both too weak to stand up and signal. We could only rise on our knees. Moore's hands were too swollen to hold a handkerchief, but I had kept my gloves on and was ab>e to do so. The.trawler moved warily around us, but Anally threw life preservers at the end of a line. I yelled that we were too weak to grasp It. She finally hove to, low ered a boat and lifted us aboard. Then we collapsed. "Every machine from the seaplane base and those from a station on the French coast Had searched continual ly for the. aviators after the blue pigeon had homed, as did the pa trols and destroyers in the area."

"The momentum of the Germans in the opening spring offensive has been expended, but it is clear that they are now boil'ng up for an other big effort. "The longer the Germans wait the more men they can put in from divi sions which have been resting nnd reforming, and if they wait only a little while longer they will be able to resume the offensive on the same scale as before, when they opened on a front of fifty miles. "But they cannot wait too long. The steady stream of American re inforcements is coining faster and faster.

If the German staff had not takan the American Army seriously, it Is doubtful whether they would hazard their whole future on the dangerous expedient of a spring offensive this year. "The Americans will have to buy their experience, but Americans are good businessmen, and can be de pended on to buy in the cheapest m'urket and sell at the dearest price. "The British staff is confident that the American Army will make good and that the American nation will never let go until the end." FARMING, NOT INDIANS.
