LIBERTY BOND MEETING FOR The SOLDIERS
Mass Meeting at Opera House To-
night to be Addressed by Hon. Carl
Vrooman of Washington.

In conformity with the program te
BE- followed in towns apd cite:
throughout the country to push tn
sale of the Liberty Bonds, it was de-
cided this morning to have the bells
on I'll the churches in Alexandra
rung tonight at nine o'clock After
further consideration OF ths matter
by the city authorities, however, 1t
was thought best to postpone the
ringing of the bells until tomorrow
night, in order not to cause undue
alarm, and to give the people longer
notice. Accordingly the bells will
not be rung tonight, but will be to-
morrow night at nine o'clock.
Mass Meeting Tonight.
The mass meeting will be held
this evening at the Opera House as
announced on Saturday, and will be
addressed by Carl Vrooman, AS
sistant Secretary of Agriculture, at

Representative Heflin, of Alabama,
will also be present and speak. Com
monwealth's Attorney Samuel G.
Brent will preside as the representa-
tive of the Virginia Council of De-
fense.
The following appeal has been
made by the Liberty Loan Commit
tee, of this city:
An Appeal To The Citizens of Alex
andria
No call was ever more hsistent
than the call to subscribe for the
Liberty bonds. The investment lea
ture of these bonds in itself, aside
from patriotic motives should lead
to large and immediate subscrip-
tions. The bonds are convertible in
to bonds bearing higher rate of in
terest, if such bonds should be IS
sued. The history of our Govern
ment bonds has been that after
troublous periods they have sold at
premium, and those who subscrib-
ed largely were abundantly reward
ed.
We appeal to every organization
churches, clubs, patriotic bodies,
business mems associations, profess
sional organizations, women's asso-
ciations-to exert themselves to the
utmost. We further request that
every organization with surplus
funds in its treasury invest all of
such funds that can be spared in
the Liberty Loan.
A number of fire and life insur-
ance agents and travelling statesmen
of the Wholesale houses and jobbers
of Alexandria are cooperating with
the .ommittee at much PERSONAL sac
rifice. These men have enlisted IN
this campaign in the same spirit as
they would serve their country with
muskets.
The subscriptions given them are
turned in to the banks of Alexandria
or to any particular bank that may
be indicated by you.
We plead earnestly that all our
citizens be in a receptive spirit and
make their subscriptions at once.
Do not wait for a salesman to
call on YOU. Go TODAY to your
bank or to any bank in the city, or
to your employer or to any merchant
in Alexandria. They will. give YOU
all the information and all the help
needed to buy your bond.
YOUR COUNTRY CALLS!
VIE know you Will answer
"HERE."
