SAN FRANCISCO. oct William
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury.
sounded new note in his campaign
for the liberty loan here tonight when
he warned the nation that should the
present or any subsequent issue of
bonds fail during the war with Ger
many, the credit of this government
would be impaired with disastrous re-
suits to the country.
If the credit of the nation is under

is property worth to the rich man?
What is life worth to the free man?''
Insisting that government bonds were
the safest investment in the world for
the citizens of the United States, he
said that their investment promoted
national safety and made property Sc
cure He told the immense crowd gath
cred to hear him that if the present
Liberty bond issue was not greatly
over subscribed the fact would be
spread broadcast through Germany
where it would be accepted as plain
indication that the American people
were not back of their government in
waging war on autocracy
Such an outcome" the speaker com
mented, would unquestionably have
the effect of greatly prolonging the
war"
McAdoo will leave for San Diego for
two days rest tomorrow and then.
after speaking at Les Angeles. he will
begin his homeward journey. stopping
at Salt Lake City, Denver and other
points.
Mr. McAdco said that the western
states were iust as much concerned III
the war as the eastern. If America. he
continued. should Be kept from ship
ping her commerce to Europe by Ger
man submarines. the farming and min
ing sections of the west would be
brought face to face with disaster be-
cause there would be no outlet for their

II should like YOU to realize. he said
that every dollar that is paid to sol

States treasury. And So unless you

a ready response, then the light of lib

In brief address at dinner pre-

and certified to the accuracy of the
record regarding his statement that
Former Secretary Bryan knew of am

other stenOgraphic versions of the

Tomorrow the committee will meet

reepublican APP. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.-Existence
of a general coal shortage was admitted
tonight by the geological survey, which
attributes the situation not to the fall
ure of producers to do their best, but
to the unprecedented demand.
",rhe tremendous increase in manu-
featuring and transportation activity
this year. said statement issued to-
day. has created a demand for soft
coal in excess of any in the past an
increase in demand that is difficult to
measure in terms of tons, but that is
certainly more than the ten per cent
by which production has increased. To
meet this demand the operators have
been mining coal at a rate never before
equalled.
THE shortage is not due to the fail
ure of the soft coal mines to produce
more coal than in the past, for the
country on September first was about
a month ahead of last year in output
and is expected to finish the year with
an increase of ten per cent over 1916,
the banner year, and 25 per cent over
1915.
