GIBBONS URGES
SACRIFICES TO
FIB RTY LOAN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Cardinal Gibbons has is
sued a statement in which he urges subscriptions-to the
new Liberty Loan, even if made in the face of person*1
sacrifices. He says he has personally subscribed to the
limit of his means and hopes for an over-subscription ol
the loan. Treasury and other officials point out that a
quick over-subscription of the loan would prove to the
enemies of the United States that the heart of the people
i< in the war for the cause of justice and human rights
and democracy.

GREAT FOOD DRIVE
STARTS; CALIFORNIA
IS AFT \ PLEDGES
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.—The final drive for food
conservation pledges began here yesterday and will be
made during this present week ending next Sunday. Ralph
P. Merritt, federal food commissioner for the State of Cal
ifornia, is in personal charge of the drive to be made in
this State this week. The campaign was fully organized
during the past two weeks and a house to house canvass
of every family is on. This city announced the pledge
drive from the pulpits cf the various churches yesterday.
Today word has been received that the drive began in
earnest throughout the State yesterday.
Herbert C. Hoover, United States Food administra
tor, Saturday formally announced this final campaign that
will enlist every citizen in the world war for democracy.
In a personal statement and appeal he put forth the prob
lem and its solution.
“On the success of this unprecedented adventure in
democracy," says the food administrator in his appeal,
“will largely stake the issue of the war." “Food will win
the war” is the battle cry. Nearly two million women have
taken the pledge to furnish the food our allies and over
sea armies require, and already they are visibly increas
ing the available supplies. The small amounts which each
individual is asked to save through substitution and avoid
ance of waste when multiplied by millions, becomes an ef
fective total. The whole problem will be solved if the
American people will eat less of the foods which because
of their concentrated nutritive, must be sent abroad, and
more of other foods of which there is an abundance.
The foods that must be saved are wheat, beef, pork,
dairy products and sugar.
Those that should be used generosly are fish, poultry,
vegetables and all cereals except wheat.
ENGLAND IS
DENYING
THINGS
LONDON, Oct. 1, (Correspondence
of The Associated Press). — Keports
said to be prevalent in America and
elsewhere that troops from the Brit
ish dominions are used more freely
on the Western front than are those
from the United Kingdom, are denied
in “authoritative statement,” publish
ed by Keuters.
“The proportion of casualties on the
Western front is actually higher
among the troops from the United
Kingdom than among those of the do
minions," says the statement. Fig
ures showing the property of divi
sions from the dominions and from
the United Kingdom employed in the
battles on the Somme, around Arras,
and Ypres and at Messines, are given
to show that troops from the “Moth
erland" exceeded those from the colo-j
nies in the ration of from two to one
to five to one.
“The casualties also are compared
showing, according to the statement,
that those of the United Kingdom
troops have been higher than those of
the troops from the dominions*
“Clearly, there can be no question
that the ‘motherland’ troops have
been spared at the expense of the co
lonials," adds the statement. “On the
contrary, the evidence points to the
fighting having been shared very
equally between the available troops
irrespective of the part of the Kritish
empire from which they came."
Assertions that large numbers of
trained soldiers fit for service are re
tained in idleness in the United King
dom also are denied.
In all the actual theatres of war,
the proportion of troops from the
‘Motherland* as compared with those
of the dominions, is between five and
six to one, that is, “of every six Brit
ish soldiers serving at the front, at
least five have been recruited in the
United Kingdom.**

THREATSBY
GERMANY
WIN
LONDON, Oct. 22. — As evidence j
that the Germans have taught the»
Bulgarians tliat their lives will be for
feited if they are taken prisoner by i
the British, the following extract
from a letter by a British officer on
the Saloniki front is published by the
Daily Telegraph:
“When we rounded up sixty Bulga-j
rians in an attack recently the poor!
wretches were utterly terrified. Two
or three tried *to drown themselves in
a pool, while others knelt on the
ground making the sign of the cross
and waiting an assassin’s bayonet
thrust or worse.
“One who was a real sportsman
kept his head and made a desperate
effort to escape, very nearly getting,
shot, until he saw it was ‘useless,’ and j
flinging down his rifle, surrendered
to an officer. Beside the officer a Tom
my stood watchfully in case the Bul
gar was up to any nasty tricks, and.
yie latter seeing this attitude and
taking him for his appointed murder
er, with a dramatic gesture threw
back his head and bared his chest. He
opened his shirt with both hands, then j
faced the soldier with the bayonet!
whom he supposed to be waiting for
the officers’ word to run him thru.
“Tommy’s method of easing the ten- j
sion was rapid. He brought out his |
packet of cigarettes and offered one
to the Bulgar.
“Up to this moment the Bulgar had |
been as brave as a lion, but the offer
of the cigarette in place of the end of j
the bayonet was too sudden a change
in his outlook. He gave a gasp and j
sat down trembling, unable to light,
the cigarette at the match which the I
soldier was holding ready fcr him.”
