In a letter to Governor Harrington
of Maryland made public here Thurs
day night, the president Endorsed adop-

compulsory work law, under which the
work or fight" principle is made ap-
plicable to all men between the ages

The presidents letter to Governor

"Your letter of May q calls my at

wide movement based upon the prin-
ciples embodied in the Maryland COM

II can say without hesitation that

to full realization of his responsible
ties as a participant in this war.
upon our entrance into the war, |
called upon our citizens to mobilize
their energies for It's prosecution In
every way that was possible.
''The response has been exceedingly
gratifying. The slogan work or
fight has everywhere been taken up
as a satisfactory expression of the
spirit of the people.
"The instances of failure to appre-
ciate its force and significance have
been few
1T is only natural, however, that
those few cases should excite the feel
ing that the spirit OF the community
should in some way be enforced by
law upon those not willing to cooper

1.-THE memorandum which you have
prepared points out how wisely Mary
land has acted in this matter. par
ticularly admire the care the Maryland
legislature has taken to be just in the
provisions of the law, which protect
the honest workingman in his rights
and privileges.
II assume the safeguards Of this
legislation against the possibility OF
abuse include the maintenance OF
those standards and working condi-

McAdoo Says Certificates of In
debtedness Will Precede
Liberty Loan.
WILL BEAR a II PER CENT
Secretary of the Treasury Announces
Program for the Next Four
Months-Banks Asked to
Aid.

Washington. June 18.--The govern
ment's financial program for the next
four months was disclosed on Sunday
night by Secretary McAdoo's announce
ment that in preparation for the fourth
Liberty loan, to be fioated probably in
October, about $60O0,0O0OOO certiti-
Gates of indebtedness will be issued.
They will be offered in blocks of
$75O,00O,000 each every two weeks be-
ginning June 25.
Every national bank and trust COM
pany is asked to assist the government
by subscribing per cent Of its gross
resources monthly.
The certificates will bear AZ per
cent interest, like those preceding the
third Liberty loan, and will have vary
ing maturity periods, not exceeding
four months
The announcement Of this program
indicates that the fourth Liberty loan
will be for at least $6OO0,000,0O0, the
exact amount depending on govern
ment expenditures in the next four
months
The treasury already has estimated
these roughly at about $12,0O0000,OOO
between July and next January 1.
The sale of certificates under the
plan in effect during the last year
amounts virtually to borrowing in adj
vance from banks on projected popu-
lar war loans or tax collections, and
periodically refunding these short
term obligations in long-term Liberty
bonds.
Depository banks make 21a per cent
net, the difference between the Az per
cent interest paid by the government,
and the 2 per cent from the deposits.
