RUSSIANS INVADE
 PEACEFUL HOLLAND

Rotterdam. Netherlands, Aug. 30.-- A Russian invasion of Rotterdam is causing the city fathers some concern, and the burgomaster has just had an interview with the Premier Cort van der Linden. on the subect. As many as-6 900 Russians have been added to Rotterdam's population since the out break of the war, most of them re- fugees from Germany and others es- capped prisoners ofNwar. The former s stay in Germany dates from before the war. They were employed in the mines there, and were not permitted to leave when hostilities broke out. Ultimately food scarcity drove them to seek refuge in Hs4lands but they are in many cases even pro-German in their sympathies. In Rotterdam their wants are supplied by the Russian Consul.
 The authorities now complain of the habits of the newcomers and the trouble they give the police with their street fights and the like, while a large number are said. to be sufferers from diseases and thereby constitute a dan ger to the public health. Moreover. the invasion still continues. and in the absence of further accommodation in Rotterdam some 5000 have been re- gently sent on to the small neighbor- ing town of Schniedem, where they are even more unwelcome.

 Members of the Food Administra- ton and Price Fixing Committee were of the opinion last night that the price would be accepted with little complaint, although words of protest form some of the districts such as North Dakota, may not be unexpected. It was the North Dakota branch of the industry which made the fight for a price of $3, hoping that a figure would be named, at least, somewhere in the reighborhood of $2.50.

CHICAGO POLICE.
 ARREST 50 IN BANDIT ROUNDUP
Counterfeiter Battles 800 Police Until Ammuni-
 tion Gives Out

Chicago, Aug. 31-With three men under arrest who are said to be inn plicated in the payroll robbery at the Winslow Bros. plant here Tuesday, when two express messengers were killed, police said today that they. knew the names of the remaining two men, and expect to have them in cus-, tody by night.
 The arrest late yesterday of Ed ward Wheed, ex- convict and counter feiter, clears up the matter mater ially, they said. Wheed was arrested after a spectacular battle, in which he opposed, single handed, nearly 500 policemen for two hours, finally sur rendering when he ran out of ammu milton. Three policemen were wound ed in the exchange of hundreds of shots.
 After the arrest of Wheed $1,085 in gold was found in the house where he made his stand. Several hundred dollars also was found wrapped around his legs. Wheed said the money had been handed to him by an ex-convict who asked him to keep it for him for a few days.
 Wheed was arrested after the po- lice had received information that . man knoWH III the underWOrlO as Ammunition" was exchanging gold coin for currency. The prisoner ad- mitted that the name applies for him.
 In the search for the bandits the police have arrested more than 50 men, many of whom, they say, have criminal records. Three of these, Wheed, Charles Carrao and Anthony Cosetino, are charged with murder in connection with the death of the two messengers.

will respond, but must be reached
through personal appeal. No one can
reach them as can the banker He
knows the people Of his community;
Knows their habits, circumstances and
debt paying ability. 1t is, therefore,
necessary that every banker double and
redouble his efforts.
"To win this war the bonds must be
sold, production must be stimulated
savings must be increased, and waste
must De eliminated These things can
be accomplished only through whole,
hearted cooperation and determined
effort on the part OF every banker.
"The success Of the second Liberty
Loan will cast an everlasting shadow
of gloom across the German Empire
Failure to promptly sell the bond;

call of the nation. and they won't fail

Each Subscription
To Loan Shortens
War, Says Burton

Theodore E. Burton, former SEN
ator from Ohio and president Of the
Merchants National Bank Of Nero
York, made this statement ges-
terday for The Tribune on the duty
Of subscribing for Liberty bonds:
We are engaged in a terrible war; a
war which, by It's magnitude and BY
reason Of the issues at stake, makes all
ether contests among the nations seem
insignificant The future Of every peo-
Pile and of every individual is hanging
in the balance. The whole course OF
events must be changed. We must win
or else be forever dishonored. or, what
may be worse, subjected TO burdens
which will rob us Of the splendid op-
portunities which we have enjoyed. In
this war our country calls upon every
one to do his part. Many are in the
army or the navy, meeting the supreme
test OF self-sacrihce and devotion
Others give all their time and efforts TO
furnishing MD to those who fight.
Battles are won not so much by num-
bers as by staying power, by sufficient
supplies of food, of arms and OF NUM-
tions. All Of these cost money. Every
enc who has money or credit can buy
Liberty bonds. A subscription is not q
donation; il is not the making Of an
investment which involves q serious
risk. II America loses, all investments
are lost.
We have been enjoying privileges
which belong 70 citizens of the best
country on earth. Are we TO do moth
irg in return? Is the rule Of the peo-
pie which we so much prize privilege
which imposes no duties upon US? We
have been singing The Star-Spangled
Banner" and patriotic airs with a
great deal OF fervor. Has this been
mere sound without quickening Of the
heart? Are we to 90 on in this hour of
the nations peril with no apparent de-
sire except to make money and engage
in a round Of enjoyment and amuse-
ment? A failure TO meet the call for
subscriptions would be as serious as a
failure TO obtain soldiers-as disas-
trous, indeed, as defeat upon the

Popular Loan Sought

Unless the loan is popularized the
committee feels the moral effect Of
even big oversubscTip would
lose much of it's force. Large subscrip-
lions from wealthy individuals and
corporations are being solicited with
as much eagerness as ever, but the
word has gone out 20 al! workers IN
this district 20 increase their efforts 70
bring in the small subscriptions.
"Sen Liberty bonds 70 the man in
the street" the committee urges. "lf
he has subscribed Tor bonds already
sell him some more, if possible. II he
hasn't money enough 10 buy them out
right tell him TO ask for credit at the
bank. The bank-any bank-will trust
him until he earns enough TO pay on
the loan
A Stable Investment
The advantages which the holders OF
Liberty bonds will derive from their in
vestments. according to Harvey d. Glib.
son. president of the Liberty National
Bank. are that they will have "the
broadcast market Of any security in the
world They will be readily convertible
into cash at any time, both by large
holders or by those who hold as small
an amount as $50 They will be the
best known security and can be bought
or sold in any town or city in the
United States and all the large cities
Of foreign countries.
"The s6undness Of their value as an
investment is recognized TO be the
greatest Of any security, for the reason
that they are the first obligation Of the
United States, backed up both fnan-
cially and morally by the people and
the wealth Of the United States"
Bankers Urged to Help
The banks Of the nation are urged
By the War Loan Committee Of the
American Bankers Association 20 put
forth every effort 10 assure the sue
cess of the loan.
"The business Of the banker" the
statements says, will not be as usual.
Loans and discounts will need be ex-
banded. The safety of the nation de
ponds upon a proper handling of the
problems Of financing Every dollar
must be made TO do its maximum ser
vice.
"The cause is just. America has gone
in for victory. Much depends upon the
second Liberty Loan. II cannot be al
lowed to fail. Four million subscrib-
ers were marshalled in the first cam
psign. Ten million more must be

Loan Committee Busy

While activities in behalf Of the war
bonds were retarded by the holiday,
there was much energy manifested
around the headquarters Of the Liberty
Loan Committee, chiefly in connection
with the formation Of plans for the
"big drive" TO carry the loan to sue
cess.
Members Of the committee refused, in
spite OF the Disappointing returns for
the entire country, to be downhearted.
The campaign is now only fairly
under way, they said. and will gain
momentum each day until the subscrip-
tion books close. on October p.
No doubt is entertained of the ability
and willingness Of the American people
TO buy the 5000, oOO,OOO of Liberty
bonds. The only thing necessary, it
is argued, is TO make the people see
that it would be big victory in every
way if they responded more promptly
