GERMANS LIBERAL;

embarking simultaneously on an aD
peal to their people for more Of the
wherewithal to carry on the war.
1t is the second undertaking OF tia

creased our supply OF gold since 1914
By the sum Of $l,20O,0O0. 900. while
Germany is in such plight for a0e-
quate gold supplies she has been com
PEELED to ask her people 10 turn in
their rings. gold watches, triDkets and
other gold ornaments, that the dimin-
ishing gold supply might be replen-
ished, and yet the supply has fallen
to a point where the Imperial Banks
holdings are lower now than at any
time since the summer of 1915
che contrast between the positions
OF the two nations is striking and yet
Germany has started off in her ap-
peal with no rebuffs The people,
pinched ana suffering from all man
neF OF privations and burdened with
sorrows for loved Gnes lost at sea or
in Cattle on land, are coming forth
for the seventh time and laying their
savings on the altar Of their country
for sacrifice.
With US there will not and cannot
be any Communicating Of savings as
in Germany, but our people must heed
only the promptings Of patriotism and
devoted allegiance to the flag and the
Government to inspire them to buy
Liberty Bonds. The capital Is here
il abundance.
