personal war between every Amer

has brought it to every American
home, whether it be the home of :
German American citizen or any
other American citizen. The kaiser
does not spare German Americans,
he fights all Americans and all
Americans fight him.

lie is on trial. The eyes of the world

duty is not only to subscribe. but to
oversubscribe the second Liberty
Loan. If we fail, it will be victory
for the kaiser. There is no reason
why we should fail, because we are
the richest people in the world. Our
prosperity has been unexampled and
we are able to provide our govern
ment with all the money and resources
required to win this war. To ac-
complish this great task, all must
pull together. Bankers alone cannot
finance this government; men alone
cannot do it; women alone cannot do

periodically and enthusiastically, can
do it. In a democracy no one class
should be permitted to save or to
own the nation. All the people should
save and own the nation. If each
does his part, if everyone is ami
mated by superlative love of country
and resolute purpose, we can finance
every requirement of the government
and win this mighty war quickly and
save thousands of precious Ameri-
can lives. A vast amount of Amerf-
can treasure. The war can only be
won quickly if every Liberty Loan is
promptly subscribed The least we
can do for our gallant sons, the only
chance we can give them to return
with their lives, is to provide them
with the best gun that American in

THIS DISTRICT SHORT
OF IT'S MINIMUM QUOTA.

Unless greater results are obtained
in the Liberty Loan Campaign in
Pensacola and other points in the
district it is feared that the Sixth
Federal Reserve District will fall far
short of its minimum quota, accord
ing to a telegram received yesterday
by r. F. Mitchell, from Chairman
Wardlaw, of the district committee.
Following is the telegram:
With information in hand it looks
as if we have only about thirty mil
lions subscribed in this dictrict. Uu-
less we get at least ten millions each
day we will not reach the minimum
quota. Kindly redouble your efforts
and push your chairmen.'
Similar fears that the district will
fall short are expressed in a letter
from st. Elmo Massengale, chairman
of the Publicity Committee. Mr.. Mas
sangale outlines a number of addi-
tional methods of publicity. and
urges the necessity for greater effort
so that this district may raise its
quota.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
RESUMES SESSIONS

The first meeting of the Escambia
County Medical Society to be called
since adjournment last spring was
held in the state archaeological lab
oratory last night.
Owing to the fact that nearly 60
per cent of the local physicians have
answered the call of the colors. the
ranks of the society are greatly de-
pleted, and few were present. It is
hoped, however, that the enthusiasm
which has marked the past work of
the society will not suffer because of
loss of numbers, and good seasons
work is expected.

 The Seward team will leave tonight on the Alameda, accompanied by a small number of fans.
