REMEMBER THE ANTILLES!
M'ADO0'S RALLY CALL FOR
LIBERTY LOAN CAMP Align

Washington, Oct. Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo has is
sued the following message to be
read at all Liberty Loan meetings
throughout the United States" to
day-Liberty Day. q.
This is Liberty Day. in the
United States, made SO by pro-
clamation Of the President and
the Governors of the 4S States
of the American Union. Would
that it were Liberty Day for all
the peoples of the world. Let us
make it an ominous day for the
German Kaiser. Let us make it
the beginning of the end OF mill
tary -despotism and inhuman war
fare.
A few days ago one Of the
Kaiser's undersea assassins des-
troyed the American transport
Antilles. killing ST of Americas
gallant sons. The Kaiser must
answer for this crime. He must
be made to feel the prick Of
American bayonets. Let US re-
member the Antilles. Let us
never stop nor falter until this
infamous apostle Of bruta]ized
warfare, the Kaiser, lis brought
to justice.
To the families of the soldiers
and sailors who were killed on
the Antilles this war was made
personal It's horror was brought
home to them with a terrible
shock. Those brace men had
no chance to defend themselves,
to, fight for their country and
their lives. But they died like
heroes. The people at home can
fight, however, both for them
selves and for their country with
out going to the front.
This war must become per-
sonal. thing to each man, woman
and child of the civilian popula-
ton, just as it a personal thing
to our soldiers and sailors and
their families; it must grip US by
the heartstrings, it must be our
first thought every hour. Today
let every American realize. that
this is a personal war between
every American and the German
Kaiser.
The Kaiser has brought it to
every American home, whether it
be the home Of a German-Amer-
fcan citizen or any other Ameri-
can citizen. The Kaiser does not
spare German-American citizens.
He fights all Americans and all
Americans must fight him.
Today the American public is
on trial. The eyes of the world
are upon her-the eyes of the
oppressed peoples of the earth
with hope and expectancy. the
eyes of the military autocracy of
Germany with outward contempt
but inward fear.
Our first duty is not only to
subscribe but to oversubscribe the
Second Liberty Loan If we fail,
1t will be a victory for the Kali
ser. 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
government with all the money
and resources required to win
this war.
To accomplish this great task
all must pull together. Bankers
alone cannot finance the govern

PRESS And PRESIDENT.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
The American press, with but a
neglibfe exception, is speaking
out in full endorsement of Presi-
dent Wilson's war address to
Congress-. There is in the edito-
rails which have come to our
knowledge the spirit OF full agree
ment with the program that he
presented to Congress on Mon
day, and the spirit Of the press
but emphasizes the spirit of the
vast bulk of the American peo-
pie. The declarations made are
such as to show that the coun-
try is backing up the President
in his call to Congress to declare
that a state of war exists with
Germany and to authorize that
all possible means to be under
taken to bring Germany to terms
and end the war.
The New York World declares
that "The case of the American
people can rest upon no higher
plane than tbatupon which Pres
ident Wilson has placed it, and
his statement as reasons is no
less admirable than his state.
ments of means and methods.
President Wilson has driven
straight to the heart of the issue
and Congress must respond"
The. New York Tribune says:
mo praise can be too high for
the words and purposes of the
President. Never in all the long
period in which he has directed
American policy has he seemed
tocome nearer the ideals of the
... the American people, the
ideals ola President who should
lead. All over The world there will
be Americans who will find in the
decision OF the President a cause
for new confidence and new hope.
The Chicago Herald: "In de,
manding a declaration OF a state
of war President Wilson was ask
ing Congress to recognize one
that already exists by the act OF
Germany itself. The demand for
q declaration gathers force from
the known character OF the man
who makes it. The nation knows
that President Wilson is not in
love with war and states of war
for their own sake And knowing
all this, the nation, and the peo-
pies representatives in Congress
will approve the demand"
The New York Sun: "And thus,
at the eloquent call of the Presi-
dent, we are at last face to face
through no misdeed or lack OF
patience on our part with the I'm
perial government that has dar.
ed to make a wicked war on all
mankind not subserviene to it's
will"

OF a state OF war be recognized,

PREPARING MIGHTY
EFFORT TO WIN WAR
GERMANY IS GATHERING TO THE
coLoRs EVERY AVAILABLE
MAN.
SUPREME TEST THIS YEAR
Field Marshall Won HIndenburg Con.
slders It BY No Means Impossible
to Attain Victory During 1917.

Copenhagen.-Germany, according
to Information reaching here from
Berlin, now is gathering to the colors
every available man for q supreme
military effort to bring the war to a
victorious conclusion in this years
campaign, goal which Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and his advisers con-
slider by no means impossible of at.
tainment.
Without altering formally the law
OF military service, the German auth.
critics have In practice extended the
period Of service beyond the forty.
fifth year.
The policy Of the German War De.
partment as stated in the Reichstag
this week by military representative,
Is to withdraw those men over As
from the front line after they have
done six months Of duty there, but
military exigencies compel the holding
OF these Over-age men for service in
the so.called etape, or region behind
the actual fighting front.
For some time the German authori.
ties. in grand coming out OF nten
earlier pronounced unfit for service,
have been mastering men on the very
verge of the age limit, but up to the
present they have announced that the
necessity has not yet arisen for legis.
latiOn raising the age limit to 65 as
has been done in Austria Hungary.
The operations of the labor service
law, now in full swing. are further
resleasing for service at the front
every available man behind the lines
capable OF carrying rifle, so that the
next two or three months should see
the German armies at maximum size
simultaneously with the draining
Of the dregs Of human reservoirs of
soldier material, Germanys industrial
mobilization also is approaching a
climax. A scheme for converting
every available factory and employing
every available machine on war work
and manning them with labor obtain
ed under the labor service law is con
templated. The work is to be done in
three stages, and the construction OF
a third group Of munition plants is to
begin Immediately. The output oi
cannon munitions therefore should
soon reach its maximum.

Germany.
In dispassionate but unmeasured
denuncation Of the course Of the I'm

and a warfare against all nations, the
President declared that neutrality no
longer was feasible or desirable where
the peace Of the world was involved;
that armed neutrality had become in
effectual enough at best, and was like
ly to produce what 1t was meant to
prevent, and urged that Congress ac-
cept the gauge Of battle with all the
resources of the nation.
"I advise that the Congress declare

less than war against the Government

the President had finished speaking,
resolutions to declare a state Of war
existing were introduced In both hous.
es Of Congress, referred to appropriate
committees and will be debated. There
Is no doubt Of their passage.
The objects Of the United States In
entering the war, the President said,
were to vindicate the principles Of
peace and justice against selfish and
autocratic power" Without selfish
ends, for conquest or dominion, seek.
