The Washington herald., 1917-10-28

Secretary was interrupted by loud
cheers.
The Secretary described the trials
the men on the battle lines are under
going. and said it was impossible for
the people back home to realize even
In part the great sacrifices that must
be made.
NO soldiers in the world" he said.
ARE more valorous than Americas,
but, my friends, valor alone cannot
by what you of the civil population
do for them back home. What IL the
first essential? Money. always
money to buy the best guns-and
money with which to put on every gun
a bayonet which will reach to Berlin"
Mr.. McAdoo emphasized the neces-
sity for sacrifice by the people back
home. Don't think" said he. that
you can go on leading comfortable
and peaceful lives. You must make
up your minds that, short of sacri-
ficing life itself, you will make sac
rifices equally great for the gallant
men who shed their blood for you.''
Time and again the secretary was
interrupted by applause from the
great crowd. When he had conclud-
ed, Mr.. Poole stepped to the front
Of the stand. and turning called the
four Cabinet members present. Sec
retaries McAdoo. Baker, Daniels and
Houston, to the front, presenting
them to the crowd. These are the
men," Mr.. Poole said, who are SO
nobly aiding the patient. able and
great. man who sits in the White
House directing the destinies Of this
great republic"
Cabinet Members Cheered.
Round after round Of applause
greeted the Cabinet members who
smiled and bowling acknowledgment
returned to their seats. Mrs. McAdoo
and Mrs. Antionette Funk, Of the
Woman's Loan Committee, were call
ed upon by MIR. Poole and were greet
ed with cheers and hand clapplng.
Solicitor General Davis followed
with an inspiring address.
Kaiser's War Record.
The outrages perpetrated by Ger
many against the nations of Europe
and the answer made to the Teu-
tonic allies by the allies were told
by Solicitor Gen. Davis. Shall we
do less?" he asked. Shall we not
send to Germany the declaration
that when we authorized our Presi-
dent to use against the enemy all
the resources Of the United States.
We meant in solemn earnestness
every word we said"
'Ah. my friends" Mr.. Davis con-
tinued. when Germany comes to
answer. as answer she surely must,
at the bar of history. what a record
will appear for review. Belgium
will tell OF her burning cities, her
outraged women, her starving chill
dren. Poland will point to the thou
sands who starve upon her high
ways. Serbia, from the ashes, will
rise in judgment against her and
the very sea itself will give up its
dead to speak in her condemnation.
She cannot escape that verdict, and
ours will be the glory of the great
peoples of the earth to hale her to
that solemn judgment"

to buy a bond for every bond bought

granted by Mr.. Peyser and then a
three-minute addition ended the
time, and Mr.. Peyser turned and
bought s3,25o worth of bonds from
the stand to equal a like amount
bought by others.
Just before the occupants of the
stand started to leave, Mr.. Poole
stepped to the front and asked every
one in the great crowd that had
bought bond to raise their hands.
and the hands that were raised could
not be counted. Now 1 want those
who have not bought a bond to
raise their hands," Mr.. Poole called
Here and there a single solitary
hand went up among the great mass
OF people and the crowd cheered.
MIR. Poole then demanded that the
bond buyers in the stand raise their
hands and all stood with hands
raised.
