"Miss Liberty" Sells Bonds

Miss Liberty" leaned over the side
Of the machine when near the review
ing stand, and, addressing tall man
with a silk hat, called upon him to buy
a bond.
"I'n Just do that" he said, starting
after the automobile.
The Fox child wasn't quite certain
what to do, having provoked this out
burst of patriotism. But bond sales
man who had been canvassing near the
reviewing stand had no doubt as to the
procedure under such circumstances.
"This way, please" said he. "Will
you sign your name on this line?"
When last seen the wearer of the silk
hat was signing his name with one
hand and digging down into deep
trousers pocket with the other.
A fleet of Ford automobiles, all but
hidden behind appropriately worded
sentiments painted upon canvas ban
ners, was the subject of favorable criti-
cism. Among the signs were these:
Help those who are fighting for
YOU -,
"Come across with bonds or you'll
get bombs"
"If you can't 60 across come across"
The Cotton Exchange marchers bore
a stream of Allied banners that
stretched clear across Fifth Avenue.
The flags were the same that had been
accommodating upon the walls Of the
exchange since the beginning of the
war, one being added with each new
arrival in the circle Of the Allies. The
last arrival and the end of the line
in Yesterdays parade was that Of little
Siam.
Tank" Causes Sensation
But the real sensation of the day
was the bulky hulk Of the Britannia,
which bore two huge fags-the British
and American colors-to the site OF the
/ German submarine, where they were
transferred formally to the coming
tower OF the captured German craft.
The tank had stood in solemn grand
eur at Twenty-third Street until most
Of the parade had passed. Then, with
a burst Of smoke that would have
done credit TO an old-fashioned loco
motive, it numbered into the line OF

alone, not even the women in line, that
counted. They were but a symbol for
the millions Of women, who. have taken
their little boards from savings banks
to venture into the unknown. and to
them perplexing, world Of bonds, be-
cause their country asks them.

"The returns which make this total

Treasury Department statement, "out
the most diligent labor between now
and Saturday night, the close OF the
drive, is necessary and is being urgeo
upon all Liberty Loan committees
throughout the country that a great
over-subscription may be reported.
McAdoo Urges No Let-up
Secretary McAdoo, in a statement
summarizing the results of his trip.
uroed the nation to continue without
let.up the vigorous campaign in order
TO reach or exceed the s5,0OO,OOO de-
sired.
$50 far as America is concerned,
Secretary McAdoo said. "the second
great battle in our war with the Kaiser
Is represented by the second Liberty
Loan. This battle will end within two
DAYS. Will il be a victory for freedom
and democracy, or will it be victory
for the Kaiser and autocracy? 1t is for
the American people to answer.
"For twenty-five days the patriotic
army of Liberty Loan workers and loyal
citizens of this great Republic have
been vigorously bombarding the strong
holds of the American dollar. Every
willing dollar has come forward and
Joined the ranks Of the patriots. Let
every reluctant dollar come forward and
surrender before October 81.
"Now is the time to go over the top.
If there are any trenches in America
manned by the forces of indifference,
greed or treason they are backed by the
Kaiser and his hosts of autocracy and
miltarism. We must smash these
trenches in this Liberty Loan cam
paign and destroy all that is within
them, so that there may be no obstacle

succeeding Liberty Loan.

Loan is in sight, but it has not yet been
achieved.
Subscriptions can no>longer be put
off until tomorrow. In the remaining
two days every citizen of America
must join in smashing drive to
achieve the goal.'
Mr.. McAdoo said that there was no
stion that "the heart and soul Of
America are in the war;" and that the
soldiers were showing a wonderful
spirit.
"rhey are willing not only to give
their lives, if need be-" Mr.. McAdoo
said, "but they are lending their
money to the limit of their ability on
the bonds of their government. They
have subscribed out of their meagre
pay more per capita to the second Lib
erty Loan than the civil population.
"They now wait expectantly to see
whether the civilian population is
going TO back them up with the need
of equipment. arms and ammunition,
which, combined with their valor, VIII
make victory against kaiserism and
miltarism certain. The result OF the
next two days of the Liberty Loan
campaign will give them their answer.
ain the days TO come after this hor-
rible war is over and you are asked
by your children if you bought a Lib
erty bond, will you be able to answer,
or, if you answer, will you have to
confess that you did not do even that
much for the gallant American SOL
diers and sailors who fought and died
that your life, liberty and property
might be saved?
81 hope that when the children Of
America put that question to their
fathers in the future no man will be
unable to look them in the face and
say that he lent none of his money
to save America and make the world
safe for democracy"

Rainbow flag by the spectators yester-
dav. saying that the world, through the
uniting of the Allies for single cause,
was n&rer to the accomplishment OF Its
purposes than ever before.
The piper band of hlties, which led
the young men of the Wall Street dis
trict to the accompaniment OF their
Highland tunes, won applause from the
crowds generally and sympathy from
the women. The sympathy was due to
their seeming exposure to cold due to
the brevity of their skirts and economy
of stocking material.
The credit of bringing about the
most immediate and tangible returns of
the day belongs to one of the "Fox
kiddies" of moving picture fame. The
two children, who are about five years
old. occupied the rear seat of a big
automobile, in which they were all but
lost. One was attired as Miss Lib
erty,' the other as an American soldier.
Both exhorted those who came within
range of their thin voices TO invest in
Liberty bonds.

were to partly go toward making up
going-away packages for the volun-

they know that it is what is needed in

different climates do not suffice, but
what it does in North Dakota tells the
tale.
Careful observance of this policy is
enabling the company to overcome
obstacles that have seriously handi-
capped it. Year by year the business
grows. In 1916 they registered more
than Is per cent increase over 1915;
so far this year the increase over 1916
