Telegraphic reports to the treasury from every section indicate tremendous enthusiasm on the part of tens of thou sands of workers and a fair first day volume of subscriptions toward the $3. O0C,0O0,000 minimum which has been set as the goal of the four weeks' campaign. Flags were flown, whistles blown, acres of bill boards blossomed into red, white and blue posters and thousands at workers started the campaign with enthusiasm from New England to Cali fornia. Every where from postoffices, bank and store windows, railway sta tions, street cars and scores of other public places, liberty posters with varied slogans were pasted up and workers began the task of finding buyers. Towns and cities from coast to coast welcomed the beginning of the cam paign with distinctive demonstrations. Here in the capital street cars were stopped for two minutes at noon and automobile horns and sirens let loose a bedlam of noise as the field force began jta work. Boston reported a chorus of steam whistles greeting the opening of the lampaign. Mayor Mitchel of New York, started it there with an address Philadelphia let loose her factory whistles at 10 o'clock and two hours .'iter gazed skyward at a squadron of six airplanes that circled the tower of .ne city hall, dropping loan literature while five thousand Boy Scouts started collecting contributions.

San Francisco began with a luncheon attended by 500 men and women and Dallas and Kansas City re ported a similar spirit of enthusiasm. The spectacular features of the first day succeeded everywhere, reports to the treasury department indicate, in m our.ing widespread enthusiasm. To keep alive this enthusiasm and swell its volume till every person who can buy a liberty bond does buy one is the work which the volunteer army is now de voting its serious attention.

Mc Adoo declared that the failure of a single issue of government bonds would be worse for America than a disaster upon the field of battle. Asserting that "we must make the second liberty loan a success," he said: "A few days ago I read the following manifesto issued in Berlin by the league of German Municipalities: " 'If money talks, the president of the United States may learn by October J 8, when the subscription lists close, that the echo of the new war fund given by the German people will have drowned out completely the clamor of unending protests which his reply to the pope has given stimulus.' "Let us meet that challenge by a subscription to our second liberty loan on the twenty-seventh of October, nine days after the close of the German loan, which will make clear to the German military despotism that American mar shals not alone her brave soldiers upon the field, her invlnciblet navy on the high seas, her industries throughout the length and breadth of this land, but as well her financial resources and that she is determined to use them all with out stint and regardless of sacrifice to vindicate American rights, outraged too frequently by German infamies. "Let us answer this challenge by making clear to the world that the American people, with transfcendent love of justice and of country stand solidly behind their great president and Hijpport unequivocally the purpose of tins war." DDI 1 SHERIFF HAS CLIFTON SITUATION IN HAND (Special to The Republican) CLIFTON, Ariz., Oct. 1. Sheriff A. H. Slaughter and a force of four dep uties made short shrift of an armed body of 250 Mexicans and Spaniards who early this morning started afoot from Morenci determined to march into Clifton and "clean up the Amer icans." Tonight 80 of those halted by the sheriff and his little handful of men were lodged in the county jail, while 300 citizens were in readiness to respond to a call in case the remainder of the band who fled into the hills when confronted by the officers, at tempted to reorganize and march into Clifton. But six shots were fired when the Mexicans were halted by the sheriff and his deputies. None of these, so far as known, took effect, but they were sufficient to bring about the surrender of four score of those who are believed to have planned to wreak vengeance upon the mine managers ana to at- tack the company property.

From the men arrested and from those who dropped their arms in fright and ran, upwards of 75 guns of vari ous descriptions and many knives anil pieces of iron pipe loaded with lead were recovered. Word was sent to Governor Campbell at Phoenix yesterday morning of the attempted visitation and word was re ceived that he had called the attention of the commander of the border troops to the situation.

More than 100 Mexicans have been illegally drafted for service in the national army by boards in this city and many subjects of Mexico are being secreted here to prevent their arrest by military authorities, according to Juan T.

I A terrific barrage was sent up from- the defense guns and the roar of bat- j tie lasted intermittently for two and ! a half hours. The Germans bombed coast towns as they passed over and proceeded toward London. Two of the groups succeeded j in getting a number or machines through the sky barrage. Numerous bombs were dropped on the south western district which is thickly popu lated with the homes of the upper and middle classes. The fire from the de fending guns was longer and louder than ever before. A rain or shrapnel fell in all sections of the town and the streets were virtually deserted. The weather was perfect for air op erations as there was a bright full moon with no clouds or wind. The people of London expected a raid and were waiting for signals. Soon after 7 o'clock motors of the volunteer corps sied through the streets blowing their sirens and displaying an ' illuminated notice "take cover," and other meas ures were put into execution to inform the populace. Many of the theaters are continuing their performances notwithstanding the raids. At the conclusion of the performance in one of the leading Lon don theaters tonight the manager came to the stage and invited the audience and stage hands to vote on the question of continuing the night performances. All voted in favor of carrying them on as usual. Field Marshal Lord French, commander-in-chief of the home forces, issued the following report dealing with tonight's raid: "A group of hostile airplanes crossed the Essex coaot at avven o'clock this evening and proceeded across Essex to ward London. "This group of machines was fol lowed at about a quarter of an hour's interval by a second group which pur sued the same course. "The first attack on London was de livered from the northeast about 7:45 p. m. Most of the raiders were turned back, but one or more of the machines penetrated the defenses and dropped bombs in the southwestern district. About 8:15 p. m. the second group of raiders attempted to cross the defenses at various points in northeast and north London but without success un til shortly after 9 o'clock when a few of the machines passed across London and bombs were again dropped in the southwestern district.

Along both sides of the Meuse river in the Verdun sector the French and the Germans are engaged in another terrific duel. Twice the Germans launched infantry attacks in an effort tq capture positions but on both occa sions they were stopped short by the French fire.

He requested that his words tonight be "transmitted to the iteople of this country.

"There is thia fundamental differ ence between the Monroe Doctrine of the United States as to Central and South America and the enunciation of Japan's attitude toward China.

Representative Cooper of Wisconsin, roundly criticized the increase in sec ond class mail rates; Representative Green of Iowa, insisted that the bill should have been at least $300,000,000 higher, a dozen others spoke and the report was adopted. Opinions still differ as to the amount that the bill will raise. Mr. Kitchin estimated it at $2,575,000,000, while treasury experts believe it will be $2, 536,000,000 during the coming year and possibly $2,588,000,000 a year when in full operation. pfficial estimates as prepared by treasury experts differ materially from unofficial estimates previously pub JAPAN S PLEDGE TO CIA IS GIVEN N!

The great harvest of indictments returned at Chi ctgo, it was authoritatively stated tonight, is but a fraction of what the government will reap as the result of its nation-wide raid on Industrial Workers of the World offices Septem ber 5. Only those regarded by the govern ment as the chief figures in the al leged conspiracy to thwart the govern ment In its war plans have been in dicted. Tons of documents seized In the raid have yet to be studied, their disclosures catalouged and arranged for use in further proceedings. This work is now going on in approximately fifty towns and cities from coast to coast. . In obtaining indictments against 166 alleged ringleaders of the conspiracy, the department of justice has simply skimmed the cream of the investiga tion. Documents in its possession are understood to show extensive and far reaching minor plans, confined to par ticular localities and designed to af fect local situations, through which those named in the indictments and many others are believed by the au thorities to have sought to hamper the government by methods, some of which have not yet been disclosed to the public. Contrary to the general belief no di rect connection has been shown thus far between the alleged leaders of the conspiracy and the huge German cor ruption fund said to have been oper ating in this country since America's entry into the war. Many indications point strongly to the connection which officials hope to establish but none, it is reported, is absolutely confirmatory. This development has led officials to believe that the full scope of the conspiracy's operations has not yet been revealed.

During today's debate President Wil son was quoted by Representative Cooper of Wisconsin as an authority against the zone system prescribed for second class mail matter. Mr. Cooper also asked why members placed a greater burden on the newspapers and magazines and still held on to their rural free delivery system.

The man sentenced in federal court here Sat urday to six months imprisonment for impersonating a United States army officer today was identified by John L.

The physician, Chief Butter de clared is wanted in connection with the theft of jewelry valued at $30,CC0 at Pasadena. Swett was arrested at Mobile, Ala., on rauest of local representatives of the department of justice. He wore the uniform of a major of the United States army and traveled under the alias "Major A. D.

Butler said he would arrange for Swett's return to California after he serves his sentence here. . ' SCORES MEN "I pledge to you, and I want you to pledge to me in the raising of these billions that our country calls for in her hour of need, such sacrifices as you probably never have dreamed of; that we who cannot go to the front shall make it so that there will be no ques tion who shall win this war with Ger many." One hundred and fifty men seated in the banquet hall of the Women's club sprang to their feet and gave President R. B. von KleinSmid of the University of Arizona such an ovation last night as has not been witnessed in Phoenix in many a day. It came at the con clusion of the address of that eloquent speaker at the dinner that ushered in the compaign in Arizona to raise the state's allottment in the second Liberty bond issue. It was an evening of eloquence, of earnest appeals of strong men of h y&l rallying to the call of country by many of the ablest and truest sons of Ari zona that their state shall again provo worthy of the latest star in the blue field of he nation's banner. Nor was it all eloquence, for a real start was made in the work of securing the state's allottment in Liberty Bond subscrip tions. No more eloquent talk, ringing with true Americanism, has been heard in Phoenix than that delivered last night at the Woman's club by Dr. von Klein Smid. The walls of the auditorium echoed back his denunciation of tho man who at this time, when his country needed himself or his money, failed to give until he could give no more. He talked on the subject "The In dividual Responsibility of the Liberty Loan." "T don't want anyone else to do my job," said Dr. von KleinSmid, "nor d you, if by any ways or means we can contribute to the wiiuimg of this war. The slowness of the American people to realize that we are at war with Germany may be explained in that it is said to take six months for the people of a republic to realize that -they have an individual responsibility in the pres ervation of that republic. Nor are the people of a republic accustomed to being told what to do. Ordinarily, all they need to be told is what is needed and they rise to the occasion and see that it is performed. "We of the Southwest nave been slow to realize the part we must play in tiiis great war, but during the last few weeks we are beginning to realize the claims for our individual service. It has been generally understood by the nations abroad that the United States is slow to respond. It must have been a surprise to the uermans on june a to hear that we had marched ten mil lion strong and registered for military sen-ice. It was said that it couldn't be done. But it was done. Germany said that the United States would not re spond to the first loan. But when the news went abroad that it had been sub scribed and half as much again, it must have been a severe mental jolt. The time has come to do it again. It seems that we glory in shocking the German sensibilities." Dr. von KleinSmid drew a picture of the marching of the sturdy sons of America to war and compared it with those who stay at home and who can only subscribe to Liberty Bonds. "Those who refuse to buy Liberty bonds," declared the speaker, "are in position to have their Americanism questioned." That the people of Arizona have more money on deposit now in the banks than they had before the first Liberty bonds were sold, was the statement of Governor Campbell who spoke at short length. "The amount of money asked for in the subscription of this second issue of Liberty bonds," said the governor, "is only 10 per cent of what we have on deposit in the banks. I do not look at this buying of Liberty bonds as a sac rifice, but as the best investment we can make." The big copper companies that make their money in Arizona have promised to subscribe in large amounts to the sec ond loan and to credit them to this state, the governor declared. On behalf of the state he promised all the aid that could be given. . "Seven hundred thousand young men at the call of their country have gath ered at the training camps preparing to take their places in the ranks of the national army, " perfaced Hon. Robert Morrison of Prescott who made one of the strongest addresses at the dinner. His subject was "Americanism." "Ten thousand have volunteered for the naval service," continued Mr. Mor rison. "Thousands of young men have given up their careers to enter the avi ation corps. Thousands in the federal army are already across .the seas pre paring to enter the line of battle. The women have for days and weeks and months been giving their time and their energies to the work of the Red Cross, preparing the things of comfort and necessity for the men of the nation who with that grand Americanism have said 'My country has called and I come.
