GIRLS LIBERTY
Loan SLACKERS
Throng Cheers John Barrett
in Stirring Speech at
For, Myer.

With nearly four thousand enthusi-
astic officers and men of Fort Myer
packing the. riding hall Of the camp
to the doors last night. John Bar
rett, director general of the Pan
American Union, In an urgent appeal
for the support of the Second Liberty
Loan. brought forth round after
round of thunderous applause In his
denunciatory regarding loan slack
ers'' of the United States.
Following the address of Mr.. Bar
rett. came the announcement Of the
up-to-date subscriptions of the LIB
erty Loan in the camp. The total
figure, as read by Capt. A. L. James,
who Is handling the details of the
loan In the camps. ran up to nearly
$4,000. 1t Is expected that 100000 will
be raised before the close of the week.
II wish that a fleet of mighty aero
planes could be equipped which would
carry to France every 'loan Stacker"
in our country. and let him behold the
awful devastation which the enemy
has wrought in that fair land" de-
clared Mr.. Barrett. Then he might
realize that the same fate might be-
fall the United States II the enemy
were victorious. II they could see
this, every loan Stacker" in the coun-
try would dig down and subscribe his
last dollar to the loan, although that
act might send him and his whole
family to the poor house"
Il wish that I could impress upon
you the way the suffering French
| people subscribed to their loans.
What they have done Is simply mag
| nificent. It Is beautifully inspiring.
Travel up and down and across
France, and you can not find a man
or woman. rich or poor. proprietor
or peasant, who has not done his
| or her bit towards the loans of that
stricken nation. Every French "Poilu''
along the firing line from Switzer-
land to the Somme. and every Brit
ish 'Tommie" from the Somme to
the English Channel. devotes part
of his meagsr pay to the loans OF
France and England. Shall our
"Sammies." our soldier boys their
fathers and mothers, their brothers
and their sisters, who are able. to
do less than these? Not IL 1 under
stand the character of the Ameri-

The applause which shook the house
at the dramatic utterance of the last
sentence was testimony that the will

SUGGESTS DRAFT"
FOR SON.IN-LAW
Alexandria County Woman Says 1t

Alexandria, Va, October u.-There
Is living out in Alexandria county a
mother-in-law who is anxious that
her son-in-law be sent to the trenches
In France to do a little fighting for
Uncle Samuel. She has written a
letter to that effect to the local draft
board received today postmarked
Ballston, Alexandria county. The let
ter Is not signed but the writer ex-
plains she is the mother-in-law of the
man in question and in concluding her
missi7e to the board says: TT would
be a blessing before God II he were
sent where he could fight men"
That mother-in-law is anxious to
see her son-in-law at the front Is evil
dent from the following expressions
contained in the letter: Would be a
Gods blessing IL he were drafted;
don't exempt him: ought to be
sent to war: should be drafted;
can't plead exemption"
The letter caused much amusement
among the members of the board and
they at once got together and looked
up the party whose name was given
as a son-in-law OF the writer and
they found his name near the bottom
of the list Of men called by serial
numbers. Now, the mother-in-law
may never have a chance of seeing
her precious" son-in-law at the front
for members of the board stated II
they ever reached his name he would
be among the last increment.
Her hopes along this line are, there
fore blasted, and something else will
have to be done by the mother-in-law
IL she desires TO expedite the draft
ing of her son-in-law.
The committee in charge of the sale
of the second issue of Liberty bonds

U. S. ADOPTS Three
TON MOTOR TRUCK
Believed to Be One of Most Impor.
tant Transportation Factors.

A three-ton motor truck, which, in
the eyes of the Council of National
Defense, is capable Of accomplishing
wonders in the line Of transportation
on the battle front, and destined to
play an important part in all our
future war maneuvers, has just been
adopted by the Quartermaster's De-
partment Of the army. and soon will
come into general use for the pur-
poses intended
Announcement OF this fact was
made yesterday afternoon to an as
semblage Of more than a dozen news
paper men by the automotive section
of the War Industries Board, one OF
the principal units Of the Council
of National Defense. In its rooms at
the Munsey Building. The informa-
ton was in the form of a long print
ed statement descriptive Of the new
contrivance, which entered into full
details respecting its varied interest
ing features.
According to Brig. Gen. Chauncey M.
Baker, who returned last July from
two months tour of the European
battle front, and who entered into
a lucid explanation Of the truck in
response to questions from the news
paper men present. 1t was the gaso-
line motor service of the French
which was responsible for saving the
day at the battle of the Marne, as
the possession Of these machines in
liberal quantities enabled the French
to rush $1,000 troops to a threatened
point at critical moment, hating
the Germans in their mad rush for
Paris.
: 1t is confidently believed that the
war truck adopted will prove to be
one of the most valuable transporta-
ton factors yet developed for mod
ern war. In its creation the govern
ment has utilized the mechanical
brains of the country best qualified
for the job, with the result that the
machine was developed in little more
than a months time,
