Second Liberty Loan
Quota by $50, ,453,500

The I'd Federal Reserve District, in
cluding the City of New York, exceeded
its second Liberty Loan quota o. Sl,-
500 o,OOO, 900 by ;5O,45S,5OO. The exact
figures were made public last night by
the New York Liberty Loan Committee.
The share allotted to Manhattan Bor-
ough was s1,012,S1S,5O0. Manhattan
subscribed $1,095, 800. Part OF the
Manhattan subscriptions, however, be-
long in other boroughs, as they were
taken through banks which are branches
of the great financial institutions OK
Manhattan.
This accounts for the fact that on
paper Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens
boroughs appear to have fallen short IN
subscribing for their quota.

The Guaranty Trust Company, is the
largest individual subscriber, leading
the list with s111, 100000. The National

By Arthur s. Draper

LONDON, Nov. Unity OF command
is now realized as an absolute neces-
sity for the Allies. OHcial and semi
official statements and articles in the
leading newspapers show not only that
the idea Is daily gaining weight, but
that plans for such coordination are
actually being worked out.
One plan under consideration IN
Paris and London embodies the idea OF
an inter-Allied war council sitting
daily to decide the plans of next years
campaign, with all national schemes
subordinated.
The recent article Of Frank II.
Simonds in The Tribune appealing to
the Entente TO adopt the principle Of
unity Of command is receiving much at
tention here. "The Evening Globe,
which comes out to-day in unexpected
opposition 70 the idea, has the follow
ing editorial:
"Mr. Frank Simonds, an admirable
writer, who has special claims upon the
Allies through his long sustained and
brilliant championship Of their cause,
makes an appeal TO Europe with much
force, pointing out that the defeat Of
the Central Powers will be much de-
layed unless the higher commands Of
the French, British, Italian and Ameri'
can armies follow the example Of Ger
many and establish unity of command
in all directions and concentrate their
resources on a single front.
Good Strategy
Unity Of command IS more than a
fascinating idea; it is good strategy
and a principle which must be adopted
before we deserve victory. II the Al
lies could be persuaded TO unity their
commands it would ipimessurably add
to their power. and correspondingy i'm
prove their prospects. But there are
two considerable ifs OF which account
must be taken.
"0f campaigns by committees we
have had more than enough; that way
lies disaster. II Transformation means
anything il means that some one indi-
vidual must be vested with supreme
military power, not only in our own
country. but in several foreign coun
tries, and be put in the position Of risk
ing the existence OF any one of them
without their governments being so
much az consulted. That is the Ger
man system.
as il practicable, possible, TO Napo-
ieonize, Prussianize or Hohenzollernize
the various democracies confronting the
Kaiser? A-e any Of them prepared to
efface themselves as subordinate part
ners, as Germans meekly effaced them
selves to take orders from some COM
mander IN chief OF another nationality? {?
would Americans, for instance,
though advocating the change, assent
TO all it involves? Would France fol-
low suit? Is Italy agreeable? Could
the British Empire, embracing half q
dozen democracies, agree TO some out
side authority and do as seemed good
10 him? For single front means a
single commander in chief"
Unacceptable Commanders
"The Globe" then goes on TO point
out the ineompeteney or Unacceptable
ity of each Of the various commanders
now holding sway--Haig, Pershing,
Petain, Joffre, Csdorns. Each one of
these, the writer says, would be unac-
ceptable TO the Allies.

"But even if they were greater
they should all be used TO the high
est advantage in attaining the su-

full and frank discussion OF the

1T IS the earnest wish Of this

greatest return in advancing the
common cause. The exchange OF
views which will take place at the

which will be reached, will be OF the

Statement
Secretary Lansing made this state
ment;
"The government Of the United

flict, and the more comprehensive
understanding OF their respective
needs, In order that the joint efforts
Of the co-belligerents may attain
the highest war efficiency.
"While a definite programme has
not been adopted, it may be assumed
that the subjects TO be discussed will
embrace not only those pertaining

also the financial, commercial, eco
nomic and other phases OF the present
situation, which are Of vital i'm
portance to the successful prosecu-
tion of the war.
New-York tribune., 1917-11-08
Higher Efficiency
IL Expected

There will undoubtedly be an ef-
fort to avoid any conflict Of interest
among the participants, and there IS
every reason TO anticipate that the
result will be fuller cooperation. and
consequently a much higher efficiency
and O more vigorous prosecution of
the war.
"The United States in the employ
ment Of its man power and material
resources desires TO use them TO the
greatest advantage against Ger
many II has been no easy problem
TO determine how they can be used
most effectively since the indepen-
dent presentations OF requirements
By the Allied governments have been
more or less conflicting on account
of each governments appreciation
OF its own wants. which are natu-
rally given greater Importance than
the wants Of other governments.
by O general survey OF the whole
situation and q free discussion OF
the needs Of al the approaching con-
ference will undoubtedly be able TO
give the demands of the several gov
ernments their true perspective and
proper place IN the general plans ior
the conduct Of the war.
Though the resources OF this
country are vast and though there
is every purpose TO devote them all,
If need be. 70 winning the war, they
are not without limit.

probably as many as 10 from one

"If you dealers want your cars,
and if the public expects you to make
