 OF TROOPS AND SAILORS Rear Admiral Wood Advises Against Celebrating Sailing Of Transports.

Boston, July 24-Rear Admiral. Spencer S. Wood. commandant of the First Naval District. in a statement tonight called the attention of all ship masters and factory managers to the danger to which troops and sailors are subjected as the result of tine blowing of whistles, ringing of bells or of any other demonstration in cele-. bration of the sailing of troop trans ports from American ports"
 Tt is well known by all" the state ment continued, that an enemy sub marine is lurking in the waters ad- jacent to this coast. that the sinking of coal barges and fishing vessels is merely incidental to the real mission. To sink our transports, to mercilessly train machine gun fire on our men who may be struggling to save them selves from drowning is the real pur- pose for which this submarine was sent 5000 miles from her base"

THE FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN

~ HE campaign for the
VI Fourth Liberty Loan be-
gins September % and
closes October 10. While the
amount has not yet been an
lnounced, it is generally con-
ceded it will be for a larger
amount than any of the pre-
ceding loans. The American
people, therefore are called up
on to raise a larger sum of
money in a shorter length of
time than ever before. There
is need, therefore, for prompt
action-prompt and efficient
work and prompt and liberal
subscriptions.
We have a great inspiration
for a great effort. The news
from the battle front inspires
every American heart, not only
with pride and patriotism but
with a great incentive to do his
ing, no shifting of the individu-
or her part. There is no shirk-
al burden, no selfishness by
American soldiers in France !;
there should be none here. We

early for an intelligent predic-
ton on the subject. There is
evidence, however, that some
thing new in the way of allied
warfare is to happen soon.
What it will be is not disclosed
but there are many who believe
that the stroke, whatever it may
be, will include the American
forces. General Pershing has
an army of a million men or
more ready for the foe. It is
only natural to anticipate that
this force will be made use of
before the winter weather
puts an end to fighting on big
scale.
The biggest and most hilari-
Gus war news of the summer
may soon be forthcoming. After
we have had it people will be
better able to judge how long
the war may continue.
