GERMANY HOPES NEW BOND ISSUE
 MAY NOT FLOAT
Patriotic Sense of Ameri- cans Will Oversubscribe
 Second Lot
New loan an appeal to patriotism,
 Says Allen B, Forbes


 Patriotism will be the keynote of the campaign to sell the new Liberty Loan. No effort will be spared to arouse the patriotism of the American people to the point of supporting their Government with their money. Besides this, no effort will be spared to educate them to the wisdom of saving and buying the. new bonds which will be the best investment any American can make. This was made plain by statement issued by Allen B. Forbes, Chairman of the Distribu- tion Committee of the Liberty Loan Committee of the Second Federal Dis trict.g
 CT feel sanguine of the complete success of the campaign just opening to sell the second United States Gov ernment Liberty Loans said MT. Forbes 'I am sanguine notwithstanding the magnitude of the task. and the nee- essity of painstakirg, industrious ef- fort to bring the buty of subscription home to each and every individual in the country The appeal for the loan will first of all be an appeal to the patriotism of the American of. the American people. It is essential to the successful prosecution of the war with Germany, on which depends the safe ty of the country, that the Govern ment have the financial support of all the people, Nothing could give more heart to the rulers of Germany than to have this Liberty Loan fail But lit will not fail--I am confident of that.
 'sThe higher rate of interest which these bonds will bear Is a, recognition of the fact that the United States ~ d. sr- l sue shall make the widest possible appeal. Entirely aside from patriotic consid deratiohs these bonds will be an attractive investment from every pos sible viewpoint. They meet all the theatrical requirements of tn ideal fn- ready marketability and a good re- turn. Our young men have cheer fully responded to iselective conscrip. tion. Many of our men are actually at the Front. Preparations for pro- scouting the war to a victorious con- clusion are being pushed with vigor. The mobilization of our. resources is being accomplished and it is incon- oeiyahse that. meney--the vital nec- essity. for the support of all these ef- iforts--wilf not be forthcoming. se "The Committee with it's .eomprehen- sive organization of all the sections In this Reserve District and the various trades, industries and business activ- ities. feels confident that the quota of this District, which has been vol untary assumed to be half the amount raised in the entire country, will, as in the last loan, be fully subscribed Our organization has been throughly prepared and we purpose to conduct an intensive campaign throughout the entire district. When the subserip- tions scfose.f ldo not believe that there will be many people fin the district who have not heard of a Liberty Bond and has been made to understand wh, lthey should buy one. We are mucf better prepared far this work thar we were when the first Loan was off, lered. Than we had not the time wi Ineeded. But the work of educatins
 done in selling the first loan, will bea, fruit in the second The appeal, too will be stronger, for we are, actuall, engaged in war now, with our men a . the front, with many thousands O
 them in camps training for battle. Tn,
 war is more of a reality than in tn, spring. The danger to our countr,
 from the menace of &Termany ha.
 been more clearly Idefined. The peopl
 know that this war must be tough to a finish, finish which means , Victory for America and her Allies
