That part of Illinois outside of Chi­ cago, included in the Seventh federal reserve district, rolled up subscriptions aggregating $71,529,900 to the second installment of the Liberty loan, oi $16,716,900 in excess of the minimum allotments made to the counties rep­ resented. The maximum quota of $yi«- 350,000, which, even when hopes ran highest, generally was considered too lofty a mark to hit. Most of the cam­ paigners, however, did not stop to take things easy wThen they were as­ sured that the minimum had been reached, but buckled down to the task of narrowing the dlstauce to the maxi­ mum. Some counties performed relatively better than others, and it is a matter of record that the counties which won places high on the "honor roll" had the most effective organizations in the field. There were several disappoint­ ments in the campaign, and the organ­ izers already are striving to learn the whys and wherefores of them, with a view to smoothing out the rough spots before another campaign is launched. The following table, prepared from official figures tabulated by the Fed­ eral Reserve bank of Chicago, tells the story by showing the actual sub­ scriptions and minimum quota by coun­ ties : HIS SERVICE-FLAGf^f^ County.

Farming Courses in High Schools. "This Is the opportunity of the high school boy to help win the war by learning how to raise food," said Dean Davenport of the Illinois College of Agriculture, addressing the agricultur­ al section of the state high school con­ ference, in behalf of the plan of the state council of defense to institute practical courses of agriculture In the high schools to prepare the boys for service on the farms nest spring and summer. Taking up the plan with enthusiasm as the most sane method yet devised to furnish labor to the farms, the high school conference named a committee to rearrange the high school curri­ culum so that a short practical agri­ cultural course can be established. If necessary ten months' work will be put in nine. J. E. Armstrong of Qiicago is chair­ man and John D. Shoop and E. J. To- bin, Chicago; W. L. Steele, Gales- burg; Ray Moore, Eureka, are mem­ bers of the committee. Dean Davenport was selected as chairman of a committee which will look after the welfare of the boys when they go to the farms for service. Representative Medill McCormick ot Chicago addressed the conference. fy>'V You, Mr. Citizen, who have not yet realized the magnitude of this war or its importance to you, give heed. / ] Take a look at the situation from a selfish viewpoint, if you have not yet . ^ a *' developed a patriotic one. Have you - ever thought of what will happen to /the lukewarm--not to say the "neu- .j?!*,..1. trals" and the pro-Germans--when the ' war is over? They are going to be segregated, shunned, ostracized. They won't be admitted even to the back v &V seats. ' . Ask your father--or grandfather-- Pi'; - w'hat happened to the "copperheads" • and to the lukewarm, here in Illinois a,K* throughout the North, after the Civil war. , H:-'4 More than a million young men are already under arms. By spring, the total will be several, maybe ten, mil­ lions more.' When these young men come, back-- and most of them will come back--they will run this country. There's no room in America for neu­ trals. Urges Use of Fish. Although Illinois has not accepted fish as a war food, reports which have been received by State Fish and Game Commissioner Ralph Bradford show that Eastern states are consuming mil­ lions of pounds of iish taken from the rivers of this state. Mr. Bradford and other officials have been endeavoring to induce residents of the state to use fish instead of meat, but tbwrfSr have not made great headway. The reports show that a large per­ centage of fish taken from Illinois streams are shipped to the Eastern markets. In the months of July, Au­ gust and September 2,578.572 pound* of fish were shipped from Illinois. Ha­ vana is first in the list with 417,41* pounds. Shipments from various sta­ tions are as follows: 2,55C 171,551 219,oat 239.3'»i 188,22* 417,417 315,179 314,668 186,832 108,13C 43,508 224.01S Entire Machinery of Nation Are Draft- ed In Pursuit of Evaders 4 of Duty. Washington, Dec. 1. -- Federal agents, the entire postal machinery of the nation and police of all cities are drafted into the pursuit of the men who attempt to evade the conscription law in regulations made public on Thursday by Provost Marshal General Crowder and approved by the presi­ dent. The regulations also set the penal­ ties which shall be imposed upon the men who attempt to escape military duty or who by their own indifference fail to comply with the letter of the law. "Under the plan of the war depart­ ment every police official, high or low, throughout the land, will become a part of the army-building machine," declared General Crowder. "This great agency will be put In operation from 5,000 separate points by th6 local boards. "The postal authorities under direc­ tion of the president and postmaster general also will work hand in- hand with the local boards in every direc­ tion and every possible clue will be run out to trace registrants who have disappeared from their home districts In order that they may have no pos­ sible excuse for their failure to return their questionnaire within the seven- day period pitescribed by law." It also was stated that the postal au­ thorities through their ability to trail persons through the addresses , on let­ ters will turn their whole machinery toward the apprehension of men who fail to report for service when or­ dered. ' The agents of the department of Jus­ tice throughout the country also will carry on this work. In addition to tak­ ing a large part in the prosecutions. ANARCHIST SUSPECTS TAKEN IN NORTHWESTERN CITIES.

W. White, federal Immi­ gration commissioner, who had charge of the roundup. According to federal agents, the Italians plotted to help Germany win the war by fomenting a rebellion in Italy to overthrow King Victor Em­ manuel. Federal officers 1n disguise, it was announced, attended one of the so* ciety's recent meetings, at which calls were Issued for volunteers to bring about disturbances in ^liis country. Of^cials planned to assemble all the prisoners in <jne camp, where they probably will be interned for the dura­ tion of the war. Pamphlets entitled • "Throw DoWn Your Arms" were among the papers and documents federal agents said they seized at the society's headquar­ ters here. The propaganda, It was said, urged Italians everywhere to rise against governments and resist ail military service.
