Council of War on Tuesday Confirms
Appointments Of New Recruits and
Lays Extensive Plans for Prosecu-
ton of the New Campaign.

Mobilizing all of their mental and
moral energies for supreme effort, the
Four Minute-Men Of Kencsha will de-
vote the next three weeks to tre-
mendous drive in the interests of the
Second Liberty Loan. Speaking from
every theatre in the city at least twice
each week they will present the cause
of government bonds with all the con-
ciseness and force demanded by the ex-
igencies of four-minute speech. That
they will be effective is foregone con-
clusion. Their success in the past in
sures victory for the future and prom
Uses no little aid for the local committee
ir charge of the Liberty Loan.
That William M. Blair, national d.
rector of the "Four- Minute-Men of
America" appreciates the important
task now placed upon his proteges is
evident from his instructions to the To-
cal orators. "After six months of
building an organization, he writes,
!" the Four Minute-Men are facing a
three-week period during which that or
ganization must count.
"Recent bulletins have been leading
up to this second Liberty Loan cam
paign.
HFrom most Of our speakers-now
grown into an army of II, 00O-we have
had loyal support. The hour has come
for supreme effort, as, indeed, it is an
hour of test for Americas loyalty.
May the touchstone find America true!
"Soldiers win battles; wealth wins
wars. We Four-Minute- Men, drafted
for a special duty, face q grave respon-
sibility. During these three weeks at
least we must sacrifice our thought and
our time, sacrificing freely for our share
Of the fight. May the tombstone find
every one of us trrn'
"Europe's attention this minute is
focused upon us. The battles as yet
are hers, but today crisis in the war
is ours.
sWe depend, Of course, upon the
faithful effort of every Four Minute
Man. The secretary of the treasury
and the Liberty Loan committees count
greatly upon you, too; they are watch
ing with keen interest for every word
