LIBBTY CAMPAIGN

Ob Anniversary of Entering War1Nation Starts Third Drive for Fundi to Fight Hunt.

,5" i /.•

WASHINGTON, April 6—One year ftom the dav the United States enter®d the world war, the nation started ttday collecting $3,000,000,000 from its ^citizens as the third Liberty Loan to finance the figh ing.

It was a dav of patrtM^ vfehrat»ona, 0f parades of soldiers, sailors and civilians marching together to symbolize the important part each must play in V inning the

war,

"Buy bonds"—This was the plea uttfered by hundreds of public speakers to the multitudes of men and women who must furnish the financial and material assistance for the military and naval forces. Subscriptions began to roll in eailv and indications were that many Trillions would be pledged before night, despite the fact that in many cities the dav was aiven over to the celebration aatber than to bond sales.

President Wilren was the principal peaker on the day's program. TTe was to go to Baltimore for an evening address of unusual importance, considering the big part American armies are bout to play in France and other international phases of the war situation.

Secretary McAcloo went to Philadelphia to speak at the unveiling of Liberty statue and review a parade of seven thousand marines and soldiers and 1,S)0 voung women fingers. Vice President Marshall was to speak at St. Louis *.nd Secretary Daniels at Cleveland. The official opening hour of the cam*a ign was nine o'clock local time. Scores of small committees had promised to raise th-3ir full quotas of subscriptions within a few hours, and win the right to fly the third Liberty Loan lionor flag.

Earlv mails received at the treasury Contained a number of letters and checks, with the request to be sold the first Liberty bond. All could not be •atisfied, but each was given "one of the first."

GERMAN U-BOATS SUNK.

Ten Submarines Destroyed Recently By Naval Aircraft. LONJON, April Details concerning the destruction recently of ten German submarines by naval aircraft, eight by seaplanes and the others by dirigibles, has been obtained by the Associated Press from admiralty reports. The first case is described as follows: "While of* patrol in the English channel a seaplane sishted a submarine eight miles away, directly in the patli of an on-cominp convoy of merchant ships. The seaplane dived at 80 miles an hour. The submarine attempted to escape by submerging hut was just awash as the seaplane reached 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 of the submarine wh&h was of t&e largest type."

The second ca«e: "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 shell on the tail of the U-boat and afterward photographed the sinking submarine with a hig .hole in its deck. A second bomb was drop ped close to the submarine bow and the U-boat collapsed."

Third: "Two seaplanes attached a large submarine traveling on the sur face at 14 knots, with two men in the conning tower. A bomb was exploded close to the conning tower and the submarine began to sink stern first.

Sixth: "A seaplane saw the track of a torpedo 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 which exploded close to the submersible in a large quantity of oil bubbles and wreckage.-*

Seventh: "Two seapfftrtes slgTrtetf U-boat on the surface and dropped bomb each. The first bomb caused Heavy list to the U-boat which began to sink by the stern. The second bomb exploded in the center of the swirl, demolishing the U-boat."

Eighth: "A seaplane dropped a bomb on a submarine just emerging and the U-boat disappeared with heavy list to port. The pilot dropped a second bomb into a swirl and a few minutes later a patch of oil 150 feet long and 12 feet wide appeared on the surface."

Ninth: "A naval airplane at ffildrtay fcighted a suspicious patch of oil and circled It in an effort to ascertain the cause. Suddenly a periscope hroke the surface in the midst of the oil. The alrshop dropped bomb Into the periscope and a series of bubbles began appearing, indicating that the damaged submarine was moving slow lv away under the water. Several more bombs were dropped in 'the path indicated until satisfactory evidence was obtained Of the enemy's destruction."

Tenth: "An airship dropped two bombs over a submarine which "fc-as engaged in attacking merchantmen. Great patches of oil and bubbles indicated severe damage and trawlers made this complete by depth charges."

bomb from a second seaplane com pleted the work." Fourth Three patrol planes sighted a large submarine as it was submerging and dropped two combs close to the conning tower, causing the submarine to turn turtle and disappear in a mass of oil and wreckage.

Fifth: "A seaplane sighted a submarine close to the surface and dropped two bombs. One bomb was ineffective, but the other hit the deck fair Iv amidships. The submarine was hidden by the smoke of the explosion and when the smoke cleared, the U-boat was sinking with both Engines In the air."

Germans Strike Another' Blow Great Battle for Amiens. WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN FRANCE, April 6.—Another determined German blow In the great battle for Amiens is being struck today against the British in the Somme valley almost directly east of the city from which the Germans at this point are about ten miles distant The attack on the center of the line comeu after the check of the German left wing Thursday night in its powerful thrust at the French line between Montdidier and the Avre, and the failure of the German right yesterday and last night to make more than a feeble impression upon the British positions north of the Somme.

The flehtine in the southerly area has resolved Itself into a violent artillery battle, following which the probabilities are that the Germans will make another effort, to advance from the positions in which they have been pinned by tbe French. No infantry action occurred in this sector last night, except on the British front Just north of the Luce, at which river the French and British lines connect. The British took the initiative tiere and improved their positions near tiangard by a counter attack.

ceeded only to a alight degree along the Ancre near Dernancourt and struck a rock-ribbed British defense at Albert. It was continued late into evening, but despite the constant attacks by columns in considerable strength the enemy was unable to make any more important progress than he scored in his day-time effort.

The early advices on today's fighting make it seem likely the operation would be an important one. Advancing from Vaire wood, close to the 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 livers. The advance appeared to have as its objective the gaining of AlbertAmiens road, which runs in this sector just to the northwest of Corbie.
