OF LIBERTY PURCHASE
Bonds Just Like Money, But Earn
Interest, Says DrOOp.

"The easiest way to do your bit, IL
you can't enlist is % buy a Liberty
bond" declared Edward Droop, one
of the volunteer speakers for the
loan at the Federation Of Women's
Club meeting in the Ebbitt yesterday.
aT am certain" continued Mr.. Droop.
THAT the Liberty loan is going to be
oversubscrIbed because OF the patriot
ism Of the American people. And that
is lust what is needed.
at is no charity on the part OF any
one buying q Liberty bond II is
coid-bloodsd business proposition.
That bond IL earning 81 per cent an
nually."

take 81, 500, the total of the building

ton and invest It in bonds, was made
by Mrs. Court Wood, president. No
action was taken on the suggestion

WOMEN SELLING TAGS
FOR TWO INSTITUTIONS
Hope to Raise $l,5OO for Homes
for Women and Girls.

Hope that the sum of $500 would
be raised-by tagging" the public
today for the benefit OF The Martha
Home for Homeless Women and the
st. Gertrude's Home for Working
Girls, seemed fully justified early
this afternoon. When most of the
workers Imported a large number
OF sales.
Fully J25 women took their places
at busy street corners early today
to sell tags. The proceeds are TO
be divided equally between the two
institutions. Andrew l. Hickey is
chairman OF the committee having
the tag day campaign in charge.
No estimate OF the amount obtain
ed can be made with any degree OF
accuracy until the tag sellers meet
at st. Gertrude's home, e25 o street
northwest, tomorrow evening to mako
their returns. Half OF the money
will be given Miss Mamie Riggs for
the Martha Home and the rest to
Mrs. Mary Linthicum for the St.
Gertrude's Home.
Those most active In the tag day
include Mrs. c. w. Auginbaugh, Mrs
S. II. Tucker, Mrs. ]. F. Crown, Mr.
w. oliver. Mrs. NJ F. Tally. Mrs.
Frances Thuee, Mrs. NJ. A. Wolf. and

business.
This disposes OF a plan first sug-
Eested Of sending General PershinEs
dispatches through the British war
office, which was opposed on account
of the delays and annoyances OF CEN
sorshfp that might arise.
General Pershing, in efect, VIII
have q direct wire to the War Depart
ment, which will give him the oppor-
tunity Of communicating conndential
matters to the department just as dip
lomatic officials communicate to the
State Department. This direct com
munication will also permit the war
Department to keep In constant touch
with American troops at the front
To Operate With General Petaln.
The first American forces sent TO
France will be placed at the disposal
of General Petain, who will assign
TO the division its position at the
French front. Just what place in the
line will be given the American
troops probably will not be known
until the troops have been trained
back Of the lines.

SEES SHORTAGE HERE
IN MEDICAL SUPPLIES
Surgical Trades President Says
Japan Gives Some Aid.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Accordingt to
Ernest stratman. Of New York, and
president-elect Of the Wholesale Sur
EIcal Trades Association, that is in
convention at the Hotel Aston with
the American Medical Trades Associa-
zion, the United States is as UMPIRE
pared for war in surgical and medical
supplies as II Is in military equipment.
When a state OF war was declared. he
asserted, the Government had on hand
supplies for fewer than 100000 on a
peace footing.
After many conferences with Wash
ington officials, he continued, plans
are being perfected to coordinate the
output OF all manufacturers so that
there may be no waste OF time as q
result OF duplication.
Mr.. Stratman yesterday expressed
fear that after the new army and
greatly Increased navy was supplied
there would be a shortage OF equip
ment for base and private hospitals on
this side of the ocean. He explained
the shortage as due to the cutting on
Of German supplies, but added that
come relief was being given by Japan.
Rnally he voiced the belief that Amer
lean skill and inventive genius prob
ably would overcome the handicap.
