 William H. Allen president of the Un- cas National bank, who read the fol- lowing paper the Liberty Loan: I am very glad to have the oppor- tunity of speaking tonight for the Lib cray Loan committee, of which I have
 the honor to be member.
 As you all know. this committee was formed to get subscriptions for the
 new Liberty Loan. and to make it success all over the United States. The present loan is to be for s2o00,- | 00O, ,0Oo-paying 3 1-2 per cent inter-
 est from June 15. 1917 due June IS, 1914 but may be redeered on or aft CT June 15, 1882.
 If bonds are later issued paying
 more than 3 1-2 per cent. these first bonds will be convertible into those bearing such higher rate. Of course. these bonds are the best investment in the world today, being an obligation of the richest country
 and the most prosperous one. So far. they have been we'll subscribed for by banks and the rich, but that is not

 than to have 2.000,0o0 persons take
 each $1.000.

 defense strong. for if we do not come across, Germany will"
 In Norwich, the plan Is to adver- tise in papers, with signs and also to send to the factories and shops slips bearing information regarding the bonds which can be placed in the pay
 envelopes. We are very fortunate in
 havink MT. Ellwell. of Read & Co.,, here to conduct the campaign. The
 banks are doing all they can to as- sist in every way.
 We appeal to the manufacturers and merchants, and in fact. to everyone to heIp arouse interest through this sec tion.
 Subscribe yourself and get someone else to subscribe.
 It is estimated that S25 each is about the proportion for Norwich: it should be possible to raise our shire. and it should be done at once, we have only until June IS.
 Charles C. EIwen, Jr., who is con- ducting the Liberty Loan campaign in this city spoke briefly concerning the loan He urged all to take out the bonds and also urged all to become bond salesmen in this matter.
