Coast to Coast Aerial Raid in Orderto Raise the Needed

Cash

(Special to the Star)Atlanta, Oct. 13. On receipt of a

telegram from Washington today an-nouncing a coast-tocoa- st aerial raidon hundreds of cities throughout theUnited States In behalf of the secondLiberty Loan, it was noted that nocity or community in the sixth feder-al reserve district has been includedin the program of the flyers.

Chairman St. Elmo Massengale - ofthe publicity committee for this dis-trict, immediately wired the publicitydepartment in Washington calling at-tention to this oversight and insist-ing that the sixth district should beincluded in these aerial visits whichwill begin on October 20.

According to schedule, forty-fiv- e

aviators and eight balloonists armedwith paper bombs, will ascend forflights hanging from fifteen to 150miles and covering the entire coun-try from the Atlantic to the Pacific,excepting, it seems, the southeasternsection. This oversight may be rem-edied as the result of the efforts ofthe sixth district committee. ' Each ofthe aeroplanes will carry about 175pounds of paper bombs containing lit-erature on the second Liberty Loan,which will be dropped in variouscities over which they pass. Therewill also be a special bomb dropped ineach city containing a message to themayor. It is anticipated that ar.rangements will be made for a similar fly over the sixth district.

At a- - special meeting of the Georgia State Council of Defense, presid-ed over by Governor Dorsey, it wasresolved to work in harmony with theLiberty Loan committee and make ev-

ery effort to increase the sale ofbonds in Georgia. Governor Dorseyannounced he would issue a specialproclamation on the subject at once,pointing out the urgency of the caseand appealing to all Georgians to subscribe. - . ' '

Encouraging reports are comingfrom some few cities of 'the district,although the aggregate sales ofbonds has been unusually small.While subscriptions of several mill-ions in the aggregate have been announced, the actual purchases to dateas recorded at the Federal Reservebank here . are ' scarcely $1,000,000.Only sixteen more days of the cam-paign remain, including Sundays, andwithin that time the sixth districtmust take not less than $90,000,000to $100,000,000 worth.

In some few cities of the districtmas meetings are being held at whichsubscriptions are being taken. Therewas a mass meeting iiT Athens, Ga.,this week and the subscritpions ag-gregated more than $100,000. . Thecity of Cordele, has invested its entire sinking fund of $32,000 in LibertyBonds.

The following statement from Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, waswired to the executive committee ofthe sixth federal reserve district today:

"Subscriptions should be made tothe second Liberty Loan even thoughpersonal " sacrifices are . involved,"Cardinal Gibbons declared. "In orderto be of some help to the governmentand encourage others by example, Iam subscribing to the extent of mylimited means. I hope this andother manifestations of my endorse-ment of the loan will be of service toyou in bringing to the minds of allour citizens the vital importance oftheir most earnest insubscribing to the loan, even thoughit requires personal sacrifice."

News comes from Washington tothe executive committee that it willbe as simple and as convenient amatter to collect interest on Libertybonds as is calling for mail at thepostoffice. Postmasters all over theUnited States have been instructedby ostmaster General Burleson tocash coupons or treasury warrants issued in payment of interest upon Liberty Bonds upon presentation. Xhepostmasters will be reimbursed forthese payments direct from Washing-ton. Practically every bank will alsopay these-coupo- ns and treasury war-rants, btu in order that there may beno difficulty in making the collectionat any point, the government has alsoauthorized the postmasters to paythem.

II THE EAST

Begun by Teutons in Hopes to OffsetWestern Success of French

and British

(Associated Press)While the British offensive came to

a temporary pause with the gains ef-fected yesterday everywhere held, asituation holding big possibilities hasdeveloped on the Russian front. Thelanding of German troops on theislands of Oesel and Dago, at the en-

trance to the Riga gulf, is reportedfrom Petrograd. From the shore'sedge at Haphal, opposite. Dago island,a railroad runs direct to Reval, theRussian naval base and thence toPetrograd. The island has been of im-

portance to the Russian bases partic-ularly for airplane activities. Thenseizure would undoubtedly hamperRussian naval scout work, close theGulf of Riga to the Russians and ap-parently offer an excellent startingpoint for a land expedition againstPetrograd. It is believed the lateness,of the season ' woul dnot permit thatnow, however.

Heavy rain continues in Flanders.The Germans failed to counter-attac- k

last night. The Teutons attacked sev-ea- rl

times on the Aisne front butwere repulsed.GERMANS LAND ON BALTIC ISL-
