France Breaks Law
To Aid u. S. Loan
Suspends Strict Ban So
Soldiers May Buy Lib
erty Bonds
By Joseph Person

PARIS, Oct 1.-THE French govern
ment did another magnanimous act to-
day when it took cognizance of meet
ing Of American bankers arranging for
the sale Of Liberty Loan bonds to
United States soldiers in France.
Il believe we shall receive subscrip-
tions amounting to more than $780,
100000 as the result Of this act OF
the French government said leading
banker OF Paris, after the conference.
Up 10 now stringent laws have for
hidden the sale in France Of bonds OF
all foreign governments and corpora
tions-laws aimed 10 conserve the gold
supplies The French government never
before countenanced the breaking OF
these laws. So complicated were they
that leaders in the Chamber OF Depu-
ties reported that they could not be
changed in time to permit the United
States soldiers TO subscribe to the loan
which Washington is now floating.
About three weeks ago campaign
Of discussion and information was
opened. To-day in the Offices of Nor
gan. Haries & Co, the European
branch of J. P. Morgan & Co., Of New
York. the following banks were repre-
sented at a meeting: Morgan, Harjes g.
Co.. the Guaranty Trust Company, the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company and
the Equitable Trust Company.
Finance Minister to Aid
The meeting was held after consulta-
ton with the French Minister OF
Finance. whose advice will guide the
banks in shaping their subscription
, campaign. Ambassador Sharp con-
stantly lent his counsel and energy to
the conference, reports Of which he
/ forwarded to Washington.
The French Minister Of Finance,
after learning the facts of the Amer
lean stand, gave full cooperation TO
the American bankers. The American
/ soldier-bond buyers are taking no gold
/ from France, because they receive all
/ their money from the United States
/ The French government does not de-
/ sire to deprive them in France of any
rights which they enjoy in America
and can enjoy reasonably in France.
Governments Attitude
The French government wishes te
holm the United States raise as quickly
and completely as possible all The
money it requires to send our armies
across the ocean into the war against
the invader Of France.
In three days the American banks Of
Paris Will distribute among the Amer
lean army in France circular ap
proved by the French government ane
which will open to every member Of
our armies an avenue to purchase a.
many United States Liberty Loan bonds
as each soldier can.

that those at home may be saved from
any sacrifice. This is a war which the
United States AS A NATION must fight.
We are ALL in it. We must ALL
win IT,"
Bond dealers on the floor Of the
New York Stock Exchange have agreed
TO execute orders in Liberty Bonds IN
$50 units for the same commission as
for units of 500 or more.
This action was taken, member OF
the governing committee said, TO
facilitate transactions in $50 bonds
and give the small investor as good a
market for his holdings as is enjoyed
by those of larger means
Postmaster General Burleson has or
dered postmasters 10 pay interest on
the Liberty Bond coupons or Treasury
warrants issued in payment Of inter
est on registered bonds. This Is eX-
pected TO prove a great convenience
to the small bolders.
The method Of obtaining interest on
Liberty Bonds, il is explained, Wi! be
as simple as calling for mail. The
coupons or warrants Will be cashed
Immediately upon presentation. Inc
United States sub-treasuries and banks
will continue to pay interest when
due, as heretofore.
Thirty Of the safe deposit companies
and banks in New York City have
agreed to help the Liberty Loan cam
paign by caring for bonds Of small
denomination without charge. Some OF
the companies made the offer Of free
storage for two years and for bonds
up to $500, but the majority have a.d-
hered to the plan proposed by the
Liberty Loan Committee to take bonds
of $50 and 500 for one year.

Buying Liberty
Bonds a Duty,
Says A. B. Forbes

Allen B. Forbes, head OF Harris
Forbes & Co., and chairman Of tn
Liberty Loan Distribution Commit
tee, made this statement yesterday
for The Tribune on the duty Of SUB
sc,1bing for the Liberty bonds:
II is no exaggration to say that
the eyes Of the world are to-day
turned toward America. do not
believe any nation ever entered
war actuated with less selfshncss
than marked our entrance into this
bloody struggle. When we finally
decided, after exercising almost un-
believable patience. to take our stand
alongside of our allies in the fight to
make the world safe to live in, this
decision was made In a spirit OF So
lemnity worthy of the seriousness Of
the decision made.
Having once reached this decision
there is now no turning back. Our
entire man power and our entire re-
sources are behind the cause we are
unfolding. It is not only the duty
OF each and every one of US, but II
also Is a privilege which we should
feel honored in observing, to do
everything within our power to aid
our country in the serious crisis
which It now confronts. Many will
be called upon TO give up their lives;
many others will be called upon TO
make serious sacrifices of some other
nature.
There is one duty. however, that
every one Of us, without exception,
is called upon 10 perform, and that Is
70 loan~our money 10 our country TO
the extent Of our ability, TO aid in
carrying on this war TO a victorious
conclusion. Fortunately, this is one
duty that can be performed without
entailing any sacrifice. Tie Liberty
bonds are beyond question the best
investment there is in the world to-
day. They meet the theoretical re-
quirements of the ideal investment
in that they combine absolute Sc
curity, ready marketability and an at
tractive interest return. There Is
hardly a man or woman in the coun-
try who cannot subscribe to at least
one of the bonds of the smaller de-
nominations, and if the duty Of
subscribing is sufficiently realized
the loan will be an overwhelming sue
cess.

u. Liberty Truck
Pleases Army Men
Manufacturers Ready to
Turn Out 5000 Monthly
if Needed

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Details Of
the development Of the governments
new war motor truck, announced TO-
night by the Council Of National De
fence. reveal an accomplishment that
officials declare is second only to the
production Of the Liberty aviation
motor.
Two Of the trucks have just been
completed one at Lima. Ohio. and the
other at Rochester, y. Y.-and now
are on their way to Washington for
inspection at the War Department
They are of three tons capacity, al
though engineers who helped in their
development say they can carry, il nee
essary, five tons. .,
The governments first order calls
for 10000 of the new trucks. Within
few months, if they are needed, the
country can turn out, II was sand TO-
day. 5000 a month. After January
I, the truck will be the Only ore OF
three tons capacity used by the army,
although smaller ones Will be uSed
until they, too. are standardized.
The two trucks that have been as
sembled have exceeded the expectations
not only Of Erlgadier General Cnaun-
cey B. Baker, Of the Quarterma5ter's
Department, but also OF the forty en-
gineers who worked on the design IN
Warrington. Early tests Of the engine
showed 53-horsepower at 1850 revolu-
tons a minute
ha+ ~
the production of the Liberty aviation
engine has been equalled in the case
Of the war truck.
The speed with which the differen.
makers attacked their respective tasks
and completed them is shown by the
following:
The Continental Motor Manufacture
ing Company, one Of the several engine
producers, received blueprints Septem-
Der 9, and had an engine running nine
teen days and eighteen hours there
after.
The Waukesha Motor Company had
its first engine running in eleven days
and seven and cne-half hours from the
time the Dlucprints reached its factory.
The Park Drop Forge Company sank
the dies for the crankshaft IN seven
days, an operation usually requiring
three weeks. The Werra Aluminium
Castings Company produced the pat
tern for the main crank case and tho
first casting in five days. The CONT
mental pattern shop completed the
pattern for the cylinder pairs in slight
~ more than five days.
In summarizing the cooperative tall
ent embodied in the engine, it might
be said that the crank case is Con-
tinental, the cylinders Waukesha. the
oiling system a combination of Wis
consin and Buda, the pistons Hercules,
and the timing gear system combina-
ton of Buds, Wisconsin and CONT
mental The governor is combination
of Kelly-Springtield and Wau kesha.
The camshaft is composite design.
The engine has been designed with
the thought of using the heavier fuels,
the combustion chamber and other
parts having been designed to meet
these requirements.

Feminalls New Garments
They Are Worn by Women
Doing Mems Work

CHICAGO, Oct. lin the stock
yards, where each week witnesses the
employment Of more women for work
hitherto believed 70 be masculine, the
woman in woman's overalls or feml-
nails has made her debut. Over the
meat slicer, meat chopper, soldering
machine, meat trimmer and canning
table she stands, looking to the un-
practised eye no different from her
lord and master-man. A trip through
one big packing plant revealed thirty
seven women, varying in age from
eighteen TO thirty-five, attired in the
new garments.
1--WE employ throughout our plants,
said an official, "about 1000 women,
which is three times the number we
employed year ago. Here in Chicago
we have been giving them work usually
performed by men. A great deal OF
this work is done In the vicinity OF
belts and machinery. There was dan
ger OF womens dresses catching on
things. and for safety and efficiency
we devised the feminalls. At first the
women SHE'D az them. But after sew

Drive Starts Next Week
As to-day is a legal holiday and the

under way in earnest before next

the selling ability Of the great army
Of Liberty Loan workers now in the
field
Frank a. Vanderlip, president of the
National City Bank, declared yester-
day that there must be no question OF
the success of the loan. There Is
enough wealth in America, he said
nor only 20 take up the present offer
ing Of war bonds, but TO take up all
succeeding loans in q way which will
enable the United States 10 do its part
ln the present great struggle for hui
man liberty.
a. the present time" said Mr. Van
Gcr'p. subscriptions are not coming IN
a., rate which will bring in the vast
sum required. II has always been true
in great campaigns of this sort that
the bulk Of the money comes in during
The asst week. The fact should be en-
phaszed, however. that it would be
much better if the subscriptions were
more evenly distributed over the entire
period Of the campaign, in order TO
avoid the tremendous strain which fell
on the workers and the public during
the last few days Of the first Liberty
Loan campaign.
IN my opinion, the American public
has not yet come 10 the full realization
Of the sacrifices which must be made
20 order TO win this war. In France II
IS common tNlHE 70 IAu n 4dlllHE
which has sacrificed three-quarters OF
-ts income; the same is true in Eng
land. Up 20 this time, in the United
States, however, there has been little
rea. sacrifice. We have been fighting
The war on our surplus stored up pre-.
v0us 20 the war. We can only WIN
The war on savings.
we have cot 70 realize that our ex-
istence is az stake. II We lose this war
our lives. our property, our happiness
are ya.ueless and nonresident. There
can be no sacrifice too great If II
brings us through the next few years
60 an ultimate victory.
From The point of view OF the great
est good Of the United States at the
present time. ! believe there is nothing
which can bring US TO our desired goa
with less bitterness and less strain
than the discipline involved in univer-
sal thrift and economy. Every dollar
saved for the use of the government is
