Jackson Latest Township to Exceed Quota and Others Are Adding Subscriptions to

Apportionment.

CLAY, OVER, WORKS OH 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 result of the strenuous work of last week, the total for the county outside of Wayne township was anonunced y today by loan officials as being $612,600 in subscriptions actually made. This total of over three-fourths the quota of $800,000 for the outside townships was made . without announcements from Dalton or Harrison townships, which are thought to have raised at least part of their quota. Dalton has been reported as having $4,100 of her $18,000 quota, but County 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 a report, so that Reynolds Is conldent the real total is more than that announced. Clay Still Subscribing. "Clay township folks just can't 6top subscribing," according to the Monday report, turning in a total of $50,150, although Clay was over her quota of $45,000 several days ago. Green, also over, added another $1,400 for good measure, and New Garden went $8,100 toward her goal of $50,000. Washing

ton added $9,000 to the last report published, in her effort to reach $90,500, and Webster added $1,250 to its subscription. Abington township has only $3,800 of her $32,500 quota, but County Chairman Reynolds calls attention to the fact that every dollar of that sum has been sent to the committee voluntarily. "There are doubtless many citizens who wish to subscribe in the same way," he said, "and I ask that anyone in Abington township wanting some of this loan to telephone or mail his application direct lo the county committee. Any ttaer citizen of the county who has not been approached Is asked to do the same thing. Will Keep Up Drive. "The campaign will go on until the last dollar is raised," said Reynolds Monday. : "Just as soon as Wayne has her $1,800,000 we can all go back to work, but until that time we are going to work and talk Victory Loan. "The money is coming in slowly, but It must come in faster. Anyone who has not yet bought bond? and who wishes to buy, is asked to come forward and communicate with the central committee, or with one of the banks." Karl K. Meyers, head of the city committee, said that he had no report to make until Tuesday. The total for the county with the township gains announced Monday, was $1,402,000, almost $400,000 short of the $1,800,000 quota. JAMES C. CARR QUITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COMMERCIAL CLUB James C.

Many Richmond railroad men will recall "Big" George Bootz who was for some time, several years ago, connected, with, the office of the- division engineer of the Richmond Division, Pennsylvania lineB, and made his home in this city. A former officer of the Marine Corps before he engaged In railroad work, Bootz returned to service with the Devil Dogs" after leaving Richmond and his many Richmond friends had lost trace of him In recent years until word reached them one day last week that "Big George" had returned to New York from active service in France as one of the real war heroes. Serving as a captain In the 165th Infantry, formerly the famous Irish Sixty-ninth regiment of New York National Guards, Bootz, who stands a modest six and a half feet in his socks. won the American Distinguished Serv ice Cross and the French War Cross for gallantry. ' Rescues French Officer. Officers and enlisted men of the "Fighting Irish" 165th regiment, which returned to New York last week and received the greatest ovation in the history of the metropolis, unite in declaring "Big George" to be one of the most popular men in the or? anization. Men who served under him told how on one occasion the gigantic Bootz strode from the American lines Into No-Man's Land under machinegun and shell fire, picked up a wounded French officer and returned with him to his own lines. For this deed he won the French war cross. On another occasion while leading a detail of his men on a raid into the German lines one of Bootz sergeants was wounded. Bootz gathered up the wounded man and started with him for a dressing station. It was heavy going, however, and to conserve his strength Bootz was compelled to remove all of his equipment, piling it into a heap between the American and German lines. After he had brought his wounded sergeant to the dressing station Bootz set forth again in the direction of the German lines. An astonished surgeon asked "Big George" where he was going. "I'm going back after my equipment," he replied. "You don't suppose I am going to let those damned Germans get it, do you?" And the men of the "Fighting Irish" say that "Big George" got what he went after. Red Demonstration In Argentina Falls Flat (By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES. May 6.
