BIG MEETING ON WEDNESDAY
Leaders in Movement Will Not Be Sat
isfied Until Every Man and Woman
in City Has Been Approached and
Given Chance to Back up Govt.

With subscriptions totalling more than
six hundred thousand dollars the cam
paign managers for the Liberty loan
in Kenosha got away to the second
week Of The campaign this morning
hopeful that before the end OF
the week the subscriptions for the
bonds would have reached more than
the million dollar mark.
Every member of the committee
working under Chairman Charles G.
Brown and Acting Chairman Richard
f. Kaiser, is now getting his stride
and the personal solicitation of every
man and woman in Kenosha is the goal
of the committee. Every person in
Kenosha is going to have the chance
to either buy Liberty Loan Bond
or turn the government down.
"We do not believe that many Re
nosha people will turn the government
down. declared Chairman Brown, IF
the matter is put right straight up to
them. We are not going to stop with
the quota that has been assigned to Ke-
nosha. Not unless when we reach
that quota every man and woman IN
Kenosha who can raise money to lpy
bonds has bought. There should be no
less than fifteen thousand subscribers to
this loan in Kenosha and we are not 60
ing to be satisfied with any Less
A great meeting of the committees in
charge of the sale and interested citi-
zens is to be held at the Chamber of
Commerce assembly room on Wednes-
day evening and at this time the entire
plans for the campaign will be whipped
into shape. The leaders of life in
Kenosha are showing a great interest
in the bond sale. They are sharpening
their pencils and are figuring down to
the last cent what they can take by
paying their cash and p1edging their
credit and when the books are closed
at noon on October 28th it is expected
that they will represent pretty close
to the amount that Kenosha people are
willing to pay to back up the govern
ment. The managers of the big fac
tories in the city are not only sub.
scribing literally for the bonds but
they are offering their services in
seeking subscriptions from employed
men. Every one of them is ready to
make it easy for the employees to loan
some of their wages to the government
and in many of the big plants the
Liberty Loan pledgers have already
been opened with men paying percent
age of their salaries every week to Sc
cure the new four per cent bonds.
Kenosha people are not scared a BIZ

General Woods Coming.

Z Abilene High school merits the APP
probation of the citizens of Abilene
for being the means of securing so
distinguished a guest as Major Gen
efaI Leonard Wood, head of the can
Torment at Camp Funston, who will
address the high school students and
people of Abilene Tuesday afternoon
The city may well feel honored in
having General Wood here as he is
among the foremost military men In
the country at the present time. Cen
eral Wood is a self made man. He
never went thru West Point but not
withstanding, he now shares with a
few others the highest rank in the
United States army Colonel Roose-
welt gives General Wood the credit
for the officers training camp be-
cause he gave the Plattsburg camp
his unqualified approval despite the
opposition of the war department at
the time
We are sure that General Wood s.
address will greatly stimulate the
growing interest in the cadet corps
of the high school. 1t was largely in
behalf of this new organization that
he was asked to speak in Abilene
General Wood is very busy at the
present time and for this reason will
honor us doubly by his presence. Wei
thank him in advance.

that we cannot arrange for the arma-
ment Of neutral vessels which carry
British cargoes. The Germans have
made it quite plain to us that a neu-
trail flag Is no protection against their
submarines. Now. if the arming of
our merchant vessels is to keep Ger
man submarines from attacking them
those submarines will take the hsnt
and redouble their efforts against the
neutral vessels which are not armed
but nevertheless are laden with Brit
ish cargoes which, even If they are
not British, are much needed in the
United Kingdom.
"If we carry out a vigorous policy
as true principles Of naval strategy
require-of hunting down hostile sub
marines, of perhaps covering the
ocean with our anti-submarine craft
and using our fleets properly in sup
port of them, we shall defend not only
our own merchant vessels, but also
those under neutral flags carrying
cargoes often owned by British sub
jects and always needed by the peo-
pie of the United Kingdom
Commenting on the large number
Of men and guns which would be re-
quired il Great Britain were to arm
all of her merchant ships. Admiral
Bridge said:
1.-The question is: would not that
great number Of men, who had at
least some training, and that greater
number of guns be more effectually
employed In hunting and attacking
the enemys submarines. no matter
how greatly they may be Increased
in size. in speed, and in radius ac-
ton? If it is suggested that we may
do things, namely, put the thousands
of guns and men into the classes OF
men-of-war suitable for hunting and
destroying hostile submarines and al
so arm the merchant vessels, the re-
ply would be that the other protec-
ton may be better. That plan would
he to utilize the guns and men who
might be put on board merchantmen
or still further increasing the regu-
lar men-of-war occupied as subma-
rine destroyers."
