only 22,500 individuals and corpora
tiens bought bonds in excess of $40, 900.
This shows that the third liberty loan
was subscribed more largely by people
Of small than of moderate and large
means.
: This time the well-to-do and rich
people and corporations must improve
their record. They can do more than
they did in the third liberty loan, and
the country expects them to do more.
They are just as patriotic as any other
class of our people. but they must give
practical demonstration of it in the
fourth liberty loan. Why should the
well-to-d do and rich men and corpora
tions hesitate to buy bonds on the in
stallment plan if they have not the
ready cash. when people of small
means are doing SO?

|SAyS TEUTON WAR
! PARTY. IFS |MPOTENT:
German Centrist Leaders
Statement Believed Intend
ed to Influence Opinion.

LONDON, Friday, October 11.-Ger-
man military power has already been
placed under civil control in COM
plete and permanent fashion, SO far
as politics is concerned. according to
an interview with Matthias Erzberger,
the centrist leader of the reichstag.
sent out by the German government
wireless service. This interview is be-
ing published with the evident in
te9tion of influencing public opinion
abroad.
Thus Gen. Won Stein, the Prussian
war minister, had to be eliminated
because he had always worked
against peace by understanding, the
interview says. Gen. Schedch, his
successor is said to be man of lib
eral views and the first non-Prussian
ever to occupy the position. TWO
commanding generals. Won Vietlng-
hoff and Won Haehmiset. have been
removed because they were consider
ed the embodiment of militariSm.
Military Decisions Subordinated.
All decisions of commanding gen.
erals in the interior of Germany con-
corning administrative functions are
made dependent upon the approval of
the presidents of provinces. with an
appeal to Gen. Scheuch and finally to
the chancellor. who is legally re-
sponsible, according to Erzberger.
Herr Won Berg. chief of Emperor
Williams civilian cabinet. had to re-
sign because he had interfered dur
ing the formation of the new cabinet
in a manner which aroused the in
dignation of the majority parties of
the richstag. Eraberger says that this
makes it evident that militarism has
been forever removed from Germany.
Favors League OF Nations.
Asked whether he would promote
the pIinciples of a league of nations,
| Ehzberger replied:
THAT is just what I mean to do.
States must altogether desist from
| the application of force in the settle
ment of international disputes: This
renounce part of their sovereignty.
! but they may obtain, through the
league, mutual protection. against
| arbitrary force"
Arguing that all states must unre-
servedly admit their disputes to arbi-
| tration, Erzberger says that the
| league of nations must establish or
ganization of imperial courts and
| guarantee the execution of verdicts
| by those tribunals Members of these
courts.- however, must always be ap-
| pointed with the consent of the peo-
pies concerned. SO that all nations will

berger admits, but he adds. 1T is
question of law and must be settled
ir a legal manner by means of a court

ErZberger concludes by saying that
he has always held these views and
would not have Joined the govern
ment if he had not been convinced that
the government shares them.

Conclusive Victory the Goal.

All America recognizes the patri-
otto duty of supporting our soldiers
in the field and of helping them fight
until q conclusive victory is won; but
professed only with the lips and is
not backed up by actual deeds. We
must do the necessary things at home
just as our soldiers must do the nee
essary things on the battlefield. They
cannot fight. they cannot win. unless
the great home army provides the
means for victory. The question be-
fore US is intensely practical. We
must be performers as well as pa
triots. The $4,000. 100000 the govern
ment now requires must be sub
scribed by the people. 1t is the prac-
tical evidence of our patriotism to do
it, and it is notice to the kaiser of
our mistaken determination to do the
job thoroughly and conclusively."
Mr.. McAdoo closed his address with
a strong appeal for the substitution
of liberty bonds and thrift stamps
this year for the usual Christmas
gifts. He departed for Washington

President Sets Example.

"A few days ago 1 took the sub
scriptton of the President of the
United States for $4,000 of liberty
bonds on the installment plan. The
President, the Communicated chief of
the Army and Navy, does not feel de-
meaned by buying liberty bonds on
the instaliment plan. He knows the
importance of doing it. and he knows
that this war cannot be financed I'M
less people use their credit as we'll as
their savings.
The Pre-. dent is going to pay for
his liberty bonds out of his salary as
it comes to him monthly, and every
other man and woman and every cor
poration in the United States should
buy all the liberty bonds they can
just as the President has done and
pay for them out of their salaries or
their incomes on the installment plan.
Duty of Local Communities.
Counties, cities and school districts
throughout the country must realize
that it is in the highest degree a duty
OF patriotism as well as a matter of in
funds in liberty bonds. Great sums
OF money are accumulated in this
country for sinking fund purposes.
All such sinking funds should be in
vested in liberty bonds. AS long as
tney are idle or invested in other
classes of securities than government
bonds they have no vital fighting pow
er. The minute they are invested in
liberty bonds they are a contribution
to the strength of our armies at the
front.
The same thing may be said of
estates and trust funds generally. Let
every trustee of such funds awaken
to his duty and promptly invest the
funds under his control in the bonds

Mr.. M'AD00 ASKS
GOVERNORS TO AID
Urges Them to Appeal to Cit
liens to Buy Liberty
Bonds.

CHICAGO, October 12-William G..
McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury,
who arrived in Chicago late this
afternoon to deliver a liberty loan
speech, telegraphed the following ap-
peal to the governor of every state in
the Union tonight:
Appeal to Governors.
"One week of the fourth liberty loan
campaign remains and three and a
half billion dollars have yet to be
raised The American people can pro-
vide this money if they are fully
aroused to the imperative necessity
of doing so.
Without the six bif1ion dollars re-
auired for the fourth liberty loan, the
great victories of our soldiers in
France will be negatived. The home
army must not turn the victories of
the field Army into defeats. The home
army must not render valueless the
bloody sacrifices of our heroes. The
home army must, on the other hand,
transform the victories of the field
Army into the final and mighty blow
which will forever destroy military
despotism and it's menace to the
liberties of the world.
Calls for Proclamation.
will you not issue a proclamation
to the people OF your state appealing
to them to subscribe Immediately to
the limit of their ability to the fourth
liberty loan? Ask the rich and poor
alike to buy liberty bonds on the
installment plan where they cannot
pay cash for them and urge the banks
and bankers of your state to carry
purchasers of bonds on the INSTALL
ment plan at the same rate of interest
that the bonds bear, namely, four
,and one-quarter per cent.
1.-The banks must help the people by
lending them money to buy liberty
bonds and the people must help the
banks by subscribing for them and
paying for them as promptly as pos
sible. We must all help each other
if our Army is to make certain the
great victory now in sight.
