ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 28.-Yast
oyersubscription of the three billion
dollar second Liberty Loan was con-
fidently predicted by Secretary Nc
Adoo in an address here today before
the American Bankers association,
calling upon the bankers to give the
same patriotic support to the new bond
issue that they gave to the first.
''It has been urged upon me-" said
the secretary, that many men Of
wealth will refuse to buy the four per-
cent bond with liability to super in
come taxation. I should be loath to
believe this; but if it is true, the posi-
ton of the government must always be
to offer bond upon terms fair and
equitable to all alike and which will
make the widest possible appeal to all
the people without regard to the fact
that man may be rich or poor.
1T has been suggested to me that
patriotism should play no part in the
sale OF government bonds. do not
concede this, although l believe the
American people will buy these four

Great Britain's attitude toward peace

Efforts to break into the new ground

the Flanders offensive on Wednesday
are being continued by the Germans.
Failing to shape the British lines
elsewhere they tried 1t out last night
at Zonnebeke, where the British have
pushed far along the road towards
Roulers. The British artillery machine
gun and rifle fire was too much for
them and the attack was broken up.
Zonnebeke is an important point for
the British and their previous efforts
to reach and maintain a hold in 1t
have been desperately resisted by the
Germans.
Near important Lines.
Their present position in the village
places them within half dozen miles
of the important north and south rail-
way lines connecting Lille with Ostend

handicap the Germans in their Flan-

Patriotism 10 First"
Patriotism is first, love Of country
above verything-above life itself;
second, love of country combined with
that vital interest in the nations vel
fare and safety which will make secure
the material interests Of each indi-
vidual and promote his happiness and
prosperity.
If this be true, the man Of wealth,
with patriotism or modified patriotism
or without patriotism, has a greater
stake in the security of the govern
ment than any other class, because If
he governments credit is destroyed
and disaster comes up on the country,
as 1t inevitably will If the govern
ment's credit fails, what is property
worth to the rich man, what is life
worth to the free man."
