HENRY FORD, PATRIOT

When asked for the terms on which
he would turn over his big eastern
assembling factory to the government
for use during the war, Henry Ford
replied, mo terms at all; take it." Of
course there are those who will be-
little the act with the remark that he
can we'll afford it, but it was none
the less princely act of loyalty. And
it stands out in such vivid contrast to
the actions and words of many pro-
fessedly loyal people that it is espec-
tally noticeable. Mr.. Ford did all in
his power to prevent this country go-
ing to war, even going so far as to
subject himself to ridicule in his eff
forts for peace. Now, however, that
his country is into it, his brains, his
energy, his resources and, we doubt
not his life as we'll if X were required,
are at his country's order OF such
stuff are patriots made.

OFFICIALS CONCERNED
OVER LOAN CAMPAIGN

Washington, D.. c, October IS
the hardness OF the country in re-
spending to the second Liberty Loan
is causing deep concern to officials
here. President Wilson and his cabi-
net are watching the campaign with
great interest.
With half OF the campaign gone.
Treasury officials tonight estimated
that more than $600,000000 had been
subscribed and they considered this
estimate liberal. 1t has become ap-
parent to officials that a new and ire
mendous impetus must be given to
the campaign il the subscription is to
approximate the $5,000,00O hoped for
The whole weight of the admins
tratlon is to be thrown into the bal
ance for the rest of the campaign and
"a drive of dimensions unapproached
heretofore is to be made during the
two weeks that remain before the
closing of the subscription books.
A new factor calculated to hearten
the host of workers and to galvanize
the country into realization that the
most strenuous efforts must be made
II the big drive is to be consummated
successfully, will be introduced into
the campaign, probably within TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Notwithstanding the splendid re-
ceptions given Secretary McAdoo in
the West, the efforts Of thousands of
workers and the most highly organ
ized publicity campaign ever known
IN the country, the daily average sub
Scriptions have fallen far below what
officials had hoped for: The time has
come, officials feel, when the people
OF the country must be made to re-
allze, in a manner that leaves no
doubt, that they must subscribe with
out more delay to the full limit Of
their means.
The Treasury departments state
ment shows $4,400000,OOO must be
raised within the next twelve work
ing days if the amount desired is OBJ
tanned. This would call for an aver
age of 1867 100000 day and an av-
erage of $200,0O0,000 day if only the
