 WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Secretary McAdoo today issued the following statement on Liberty Day." This is Liberty Day in the United States. made so by the proclamation of the president and governors of the forty eight states Of the American union. Would that it were Liberty Day for all the peoples of the world. Let us make 1t an ominous day for the Ger man kaiser Let us make it the be- ginning of the end of military des- potism and inhuman warfare.
 A few days ago one Of the kaiser's undersea assassins destroyed the Amer ican transport Antilles, killing manN Of Americas gallant sons. The kaiser must answer for this crime. He must be made to feel the prick of America's : bayonets. Let us remember the An titles. Let US never stop nor falter until this infamous apostle of brutal iZed warfare, the kaiser. is brought to justice.
 To the families of the soldiers and sailors who were killed on the An tiles this war was made personal. Today let every American req lize that this is a personal war be- tween every American and the Ger man kaiser. The kaiser has brought 1t to every American home, whether it be a home of a German American citizen or any other American citizen. The kaiser does not spare German Americans, he fights all Americans and all Americans must fight him.
 Today the American public is or. trial. The eyes of the world are upos her.
 The eyes of the oppressed peoples o. the ealth with hope and expectancy the eyes of the military autoeracy of Germany, with outward contempt but inwards fear.
 Our first duty is rot only to sub scribe but to over subscribe the sec ond Liberty loan. If we fail. it win he victory for the kaiser. There is no reason why We should fail, because we are the richest people in the world.
 To accomplish this great task. all must pull together. If each does his part, If every one is animated by super latlVe love of country and resolute pur- pose, We can finance every requirement. Of the government and win this mighty war and save thousands of precious American lives and vast sum of American treasure.
 It is our soldiers. our sailors and our guns that are going to win the victory. vindicate Americas rights al home, and upon the high seas and make the world safe for democracy.
 The least service of patriotism that any man or woman who stays at home can perform is to lend their money 10 hls or her own government on inn pregnable security at four per cent interest
 They risl: nothing, while the soldier risks all
 1 have visited some of the great camps in the west where thousand Of splendid American young men are training for the army. They are get ting an example which the civilian population would do well to eA,uIate Our brave soldiers are not only giv- Ing up their families, all their ma teilat interests and putting their lives Ill the balance, but they are act1,AlIv subscribing from their mea2ar nav to the bonds ot their own government in larger amount per capita than tha civilian population.
 me failure Of one Liberty loan would deslGy the governments credit nm dermlne confidence imperi! prosneritv and disgrace Us in the eyes of tbe world The patriotic people of the 4S states of the union must make such disaster impossible.
 " hen the sun sets on the even;nc or Liberty Day, ten million American ns siould nave registered their subscrip- 'iohs 10 the second Liberty loan
