when m4nv large subscriptions were
made The largest subscribers at

mrrou~ \ special appeal was made
o the people in the ordinary walks
0t life not to shrink from taking
bonds because they could not lend
heir country thousands of dollars
3ut to do what they were able, and
immediately there came q ready re
sronse from many women and chill
8ren. laborers. and men working for
small salaries.
The crowd was hred with ethusi-
ssm and everyone seemed anxious 10
AXE ut least one bond. no matter
what the sacrifice would be to pay
Tor it. One noticeable feature of the
occasion was the disposition shown

trom men whose parents were born
III the F'atherland. While the sailor
1oys and the members OF the Liberty
Loan Committee passed through the
audience to receive the subscriptions,
Albert G. Tow ers stood on the stage
making earnest appeals for as much
money as il was possible for the peo-
nle TO give. and his words were con
stantly interrupted by the calling out

The call from the Treasury De
partment for $4,000, 100000 as the
Second Liberty Loan, to help finance
The war in which the United States
IS now engaged was oVersubscribed.
The first cali to the American people,
fOr money with which to clothe and
Ieed the soldiers and sailors, build
boats. manufacture munitions and
purchase a thousand other things
which are necessary in this crisis,
was made in June, and The amount
received far exceeded that which had
been asked tor. The same thing
was true OF the Second Liberty Loan,
and when the third call comes 1t is
likely that America will be as will
ing and as anxious TO lend her gold
% the cause Of liberty as she has in
the past.
