Nothing Would Please Kaiser More
Than Failure of Liberty Loan

Than Failure of Liberty Loan
Washington, Oct. pa state
ment issued by the United States
treasury department says;
"One of the strongest arguments
to be used in the closing days OF
the liberty loan campaign will be the
figure for the seventh German war
loan just made public.
After more than three years of
war, and with a casualty list estimat.
ed at 8, 500, 900 persons, the German
people, exclusive of soldiers, have
subscribed SO ,1O7 500, 900 to a loan
Nothing would give the kaiser and
all other enemies of this country more
pleasure, it will be pointed out, than
for the people of the United States
to fail to subscribe a greater amount
than this to the second liberty loan
when they have had only one previous
loan and virtually no casualties"

If you want to bring down the high
price of the necessaries of life. curtail the
use of them. 1t is surprising how little
of any single article you will have to cut
off in order to effect the price. A single
shovelful of coal day saved by every
family in the land would mean $4,000
tons. This would mean ten big ship
loads day to send to our allies. Is
there any family in the land that could
not save this much if they tried Not

German newspapers that are crying
out against the cruelty and uselessness
of aerial warfare, now that England and
France have started series of reprisals,
are too late. They should have protest.
ed through the long months that those
countries have suffered their aerial raids
and made no effort at reprisal. Such
brutal methods of warfare are to be dep
recated, yet retaliation is the only way
in which to bring the brutal Prussians to

after he had stated that he was a true
