La Toilette Will Explain.

Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette is
planning to take his case direct to
the people. Having failed to secure
a complete investigation of his al
legged seditious utterances and acti-
vities from the Senate sub-commit-
tee. he is today arranging to go
upon the stump and endeavor 70
secure popular vindication of his
position.
He has invitations to make speech
es in all the large cities and may
avail himself of this opportunity 20
make h;s position clear to the peo-
pie.
Meanwhile both Senator La Fol.
lette and his accusers are making
every preparation for a showdown
when the investigating committee
reconvenes on November 26. Al.
though the committees powers are
limited, it is determined to go to
every length within its authoriy tc
secure the facts about Senator La
Follette's ST. Paul speech, perticu'
larly those relating to the 1usitania
case.
Senator La Toilette, at the same
time, is preparing to combat the in
vestigation with all his energy ans
resources.
The committee plans to call Viii
liam Jennings Bryan, former Secre
tary of State, and many other nlgf
Government officials.
What will be the final outcome o!
the movement to expel Senator L.
Toilette from the Senate is mat
ter of pure conjecture. Much de
pends upon his conduct between nov
and the reconvening of Congress.

breaking bricks and filling the stove

partially demolished the wooden
platform in front Of the structure.

Liberty Loan Day, Oct. "a, to be
Properly Observed in Alexandria
Arrangements Under Way.

The Liberty Loan committee hav-
ing in charge the campaign for the
sale of the bonds in Alexandra, held
a meeting in the rooms of the Cnam-
ber of Commerce this morning at
half-past nine. During the session
the various phases of the work were
discussed in detail and pans made
for interesting the people and there
by increasing the sale of bonds 20
the largest possible extent. Chair
man Leo Harlow, presided.
The committee realizes the fact
that there are still great number
of those who are able to purchase
bonds who are not doing it for the
reason that they do not sufficiently
appreciate the vital Importance OF
the case.
Some are saying "Oh, the banks
will take care of the bonds" This is
an entirely erroneous idea. The banks
CANNOT take care of sucn an I'M
mense outlay unless the people come
to their assistance. Why? Because
they cannot spare as much money
from their regular business as will
be required.
Again, it is not up to the banks
to do so. any more than it is for the
people themselves. That fact must
be conceded. This was is FOR THE
!. CAUSE of LIBERTY, which is
THREATENED by the WORST IY-
RANT alive today, and 1t is up to
the individual man and woman TO
DO THEIR DUTY AND HELP
DEFEAT HIM.
Young men have gone from Alex
andria to give their lives, if need
be. Can we who remain at home DO
less than lend cur money? If you
have been asleep concerning tins
matter, it is time to wake up. You
are not asked to give your money
Tut simply to lend it and be pad
interest on it twice year.
In obedience to the expressed
wishes of the President of the
limited States as voiced in his proc
lamation, it was decided to observe
October oath as Liberty Loan Day
with public meeting, and to ask
all business houses in Alexandria TO
close at noon on that day in ORDER
that everyone in the city may take
mart in the monster parade anc pat
riotic demonstration which will be
held preceding the mass meeting al
8 o'clock.
The following named committee
will meet tomorrow afternoon at

church work in Washington. She was
the donor of Ryan Hall to George
town University. The convent and
chapel of the Perpetual Alteration Is
another gift of Mrs. Ryan. She es-
tablished this order in the United
States in 1900. In this convent there
are five nuns who devote themselves
to prayer. Every hour of the night
and day some one is kneellng IN
prayer before the altar. The chapel
cost 100000. Under the alter there
is a crypt, where her body may be
