tary subscription the sum of $2.00c, 0O0,00o only about 1 per cent of the annual increment of wealth in this country These are liberty bonds that we are trying to float that we are asking the American people to sub scribe to. We engage in this under taking with feeling of patriotic pride because we know that We shall be sue cessful in it. and we know for what meritorious ends the proceeds will be expended. We are not giving the gov ernment anything; we are making it loan, the very best loan that iny of us could possibly make We are purchasing a bond which ranks today as the worlds premier security, q bond which is just as good as ana just as salable in Portland, Ore, as it is in Boston. just as good in Minneapolis or New Orleans as it is in Birmingham; something that can be converted into cash anywhere; something that can be exchanged for property anywhere. We know that every dollar of the money raised will remain in this country But, gentlemen, looking on the other side of the picture a moment how should we feel If we were engaged i'll raising an indemnity bond, if we were raising money for the Kaiser and his cohorts at the price of our own lib- erty if we were prostrate with the conquerOrS root upon our Eeck5, ana we had to raise $100, 000,000,000 of in demnity bonds? That money would not remain in America; that money would be ground out of the people and trans ferred to Teutonic shores. What would be the effect upon the business of this country? Where would our boasted lib- critics be for which our forefathers fought in 1776? What will become of our glorious heritage then? I am sure, gentlemen, that it is unnecessary for me to say anything else. I know how thoroughly you have organized this district. and I believe that you real ize the importance of having everyone that can possibly do so become a sub scriber to this issue. Let not the amount be limited to past earnings, but let us freely anticipate the future. Let ev- eryone go to his bank, make a note for the bona or security and make his payments on the installment plan. Let the people realize furthermore that the
 issue before us today is whether we shall pay a moderate amount of taxes to our own government that is going to protect us, or whether we shall pay tribute to foreign conqueror. Shall we buy bonds for liberty, to make safe the democracies of the world, or shall we have bonds to buy off a conqueror? In a nutshell, gentlemen, the issue be- fore us is this: Shall we pay tribute or taxes; shall be have bonds or bond age?

WILD AND, FALSE REPORTS CONTINUE
 ID BE CIRCULATED
Daniels Says There Is Or ganized Conspiracy to Alarm American People
 by This Method

Washington, June 9.-Persistent and widely circulated false reports of naval battles and disaster to American and entente forces have reached the point where Secretary Daniels has concluded that they are the result of an organ ized conspiracy to alarm and distress the American people Today the secre- tary issued the following statement:
 "The country is being poisoned by rumors of battle and disaster that are absolutely without the slightest foun- sistent of these false reports is one that naval engagement has taken place between the German fleets and the combined fleets of England and the United States and that in this battle of Englishgand American ships were sunk, or disabled, two of the number being the Pennsylvania and the Texas.
 "In elaboration of this falsehood there is the added rumor that the hos pitals at the Atlantic coast naval wards are filled with crippled sailors and marines and that the various hos pitfalls of New York city are equally crowded with wounded men.
 By way of circumstantiality it is be- ing rumored widely that passenger arriving on one of the Holland-Ameri : can line steamers has stated that his vessel passed through the battle area after the engag cement and that the sea was thick with floating bodies.
 ''All of these outrageous falsties are accompanied by the explanation that the Washington authorities are in a conspiracy with the press to keep the truth from the people.
 No such engagement has taken place. The American fleet has not been in action. No ship has been lost. There are no wounded sailors, or marines in any hospital.
 "The declared policy of the navy de partment is one of absolute openness. If disaster comes no effort will be made to minimize it. The people of the United States are asked to trust in this pledge and to aid in stamping out this campaign of rumor that is so plainly the product of disloyalty."

PROSPERITY GREATEST YET

Some people profess apprehension about the future of business. Why, gentlemen, prosperity in the next F months will be greater than it ever has been in our history. You cannot prevent it if you try. The allied governments and our own government have got to buy here s10,0OO,- 0oo 900 worth of materials and supplies products of your farms. your factories and your mines-within the next F months if this war continues that long. The expenditure of that vast sum of money will force prosperity upon us whether we want it or not. The only thing that could stop prosperity would be the refusal of the people to support the reasonable measures of taxation that are needed, and to buy the bonds of the government. Through these two sources your government will receive the money to pay for the required supplies. If the government could not raise the money by taxation and by the sale of bonds to en- able it to buy your products, then you

expended large sums in advertising, in having the people understand that they are ready to aid them in becoming bondholders. Almost any bank will all low a man, whether he is customer or not to enter his subscription for $50 bond or $10O bond or larger amount if desired, and will take pay ments in weekly or monthly install ments. In this way we can diffuse this issue very widely, and we will pave the way for the easier Notation or the other issues that must come later on.
 I was struck with another fact in New Haven. 1 had the honor of ac- companying the Secretary of the Treas- ury on his recent trip through the west. I was impressed with the earn estness of the people whom We met, and l entertain no doubts whatever of their patriotism. They have responded in a most magnificent manner. But naturally in New Haven, on the Long Island sound, they have a Eeener ap- preciation of the possibilities of this war than you can possibly have down here. They remembered that last sum- mer a German merchant submarine entered one of their ports, New Lon lon, and they remembered that a few months later an armed submarine sunk a number of British vessels in Long Island sound. off the shores of Mas sachusetts. They know that the At lantic is no longer 8 barrier They recognize the fact that it is merely a ferry. They appreciate fully the warning that you heard the Secretary of the Treasury give you, that the is sue is still in doubt, that should Ger many be able to overwhelm England and gallant France and capture their navies, should she seize Canada, should she land a force upon. our Atlantic shores that the seat of war will be transferred from France to our own American continent. They realize the fact in the east that we are really in serious danger, and they are stand ing as one man in their solemn de- termination that they will resist for eign invasion. They realize that the best way to insure this country against a foreign invasion is to equlp our men speedily in order that they may take their places behind the trenches Ill France and repel the enemy over there before he has chance to devastate our own country You remember that Germany overwhelmed France 46 years ago. A statement has been made that the money cost of that war to Prus- sia was about $500.000,G GOO. War in those days was comparatively cheap. She exacted of France al indemnity of $1,000 000 000 and took from her two of her fairest provinces Already Ger. many has expended perhaps S2500o,- 100000 in this war, mayae more; there is no way of telling. Bat even if her ideas are today what they were 46 years ago, that she must have two for one in the way of indemnity, we can see that minimum she would re- quire of us $50,000, ,000 000

BANKER SHOULD UNDERNEATH

t1OnS
 BANKER SHOULD UNDERNEATH There is one very important factor that we should consider While this
 problem is peculiarly bankers prob demand I want to say here that the bankers of America have risen most nobly to the situation that they have responded in manner which shows that no class of American people has a higher conception of patriotism than they--I want to say that while this problem Is peculiarly a bankers prob lem, it is the province of the banker more to underwrite these issues with view of distributing them as widely as possible among the public. Our financial safety lies in that course, and in order to make this issue most ef- fective from it's moral aspect, that Is the course that would be followed out. Lord Gunliffe. the governor of the Bank
 of England, told me that the first bond issue that England f1oated back in the fall of 1914 was the most difficult of all. The banks had to subscribe for a very large proportion of that issue. Only 100000 individuals subscribed to that first bond issue. But as interest became aroused as the people under stood the situation, the number of subscribers increased. so that the last bond issue which was foated a few
 months ago went to more than S,00000o subscribers.
 Ladies and gentlemen, on Tuesday
 last 10,00o,000 young Americans regis tered their names at their various poll ing places throughout this country, 10,- 000000 young Americans between the ages of 21 and 31. Surely my friends,
 there will be 10.000,000 patriotic
 men and women of America who will be willing not to do-
 nate--they are not asked to donate
 a thing-but they are asked to sub-
 scribe to what is the best investment
 in the world today Surely there must
 be 10,0O0000 patriotic men and wom-
 en in America who will be willing to
 to enter their names. as voluntary sub
 scribers to this great bond issue. It is
 necessary that they should do so, be-
 cause when the word goes across the
 water that 10 per cent of the Ameri-
 can people have participated in this
 loan, the military autocracy that we
 are fighting will know that America means business. They will know that | this is no dilettante war. They will know that they have to contend with l the manhood of America. When that l idea gets back into the hearts and minds of the German people, it will do
 more than anything we can do to get them in frame of mind where they will be willing to listen to reason. NEW HAVEN SLOGAN I heard in New Haven the other day this slogan: New Haven. IS you know is a literary city, the seat of great university, Yale. Perhaps you may be able to detect the literary flavor in this slogan, although I confess I have been unable to do so. It is this:

 accumlations.
