II will echo throughout the empire
of our enemy as an index of what
America intends to do TO bring the

The presidents proclamation fol
lows:
by the president of the United
States of America; a proclamation.
The second Liberty loan gives the
people of the United States another
opportunity to lend their funds to
their government to sustain their
country at war. The might Of the
United States is being modified and
organized to strike mortal blow at
autocracy in defense of outraged
American rights and of the cause Of
liberty. Billions of dollars are reduir
ed to arm, feed and clothe the brav"
men who are going forth to fight our
country's battles and TO assist the ma
tions with whom we are making com
mon cause against a common foe To
subscribe to the Liberty loan l. tn
perform a service of patriotism.
Now, therefore. l, Woodrow vii
son, president of the United States
OF America, do appoint Wednesday
the tweHty-fOurth OF October as Lib
crty day and urge and advise the PEG
pie to assemble in their respective
communities and pledge to one an
other and to the government that rep
resents them the fullest measure oI
financial support. On the afternoon
of that day | request that patriotic
meetings be held in every city, town
and hamlet throughout the land, under
the general direction of the secretary
OF the treasury and the immediate di
r6ction OF the Liberty loan committees
which have been organized by the fed
eral reserve banks. The people rr
sponded nobly TO the call OF the frs
Liberty loan with an oyersubscrIptiOi
of more than fifty per cent. Let the
response to the second loan be sveT
greater and let the amount be so larg,
that 1t will serve as an assurance o
unqualified support to hearten thu
men who are to face the fire OF haiti,
for us. Let the result be so imprcs
sive and emphatic that It will echt
throughout the empire OF our cncm.
as an index to what America intend
to do to bring this war to viCtOriou

q HURT I'm EXPLOSION
One viii Lose Sight of His Left Eye
Followed a Fire at Mount Airy.

Three persons were injured Sunday
evening by glass fragments when the
windows of the Smith Brothers store
Nt. Airy, were shattered by an eX-
plosion as the result Of a fire in the
adjoining building, owned by Mrs.
John Wilson. They were Frank l.
Lewis, Jr., Chester Hood and Rev.
Charles E. Ely, all of Mt. Airy.
Lewis is now at the Frederick City
Hospital and will lose the sight OF
his left eye. A glass fragment pene-
trated the eyeball. Rev. Mr.. Ely and
Hood are cut about the face.
At least 1000 persons were at the
scene of the fire when the explosion
occurred. 1t is said that several
other persons were slightly injured
The fire started in the Wilson
building, the first floor OF which Is
occupied by Albert Brengle, mer-
chant. The second floor is used as a
lookup. An overheated stove was the
cause.
A bucket brigade was formed and
prevented the fire from sweeping the
entire block. The volunteer hremen
being unable to save the burning
structure, turned their attention TO
the adjoining buildings, thoroughly
saturating them with water.
The combined damage to the two
buildings is estimated at about 3d.
600. About so telephone lines were
put out of commission.
