M'ADOO APPEALS TO ALL
AMERICAN PATRIOTS TO
BOOST FOURTH LOAN OVER
Special to the Express.

Special to the Express.
Washington, D. c., October 7-Subscrip-
tions reported and estimated up to noon Thurs
day amount to four billion dollars, leaving at
least two billion dollars to complete the Fourth
Liberty Loan Only two days are left within
which to raise this vast sum. No country on
earth but America could raise so vast a sum in
SO short time. America can do it and must do
it. The destinies of the world and the hopes of
civilization are centered upon America. We
shall fail in everything we have fought for and
hope to gain in this war if the Fourth Liberty
Loan is defeated
Let every true American citizen examine
himself under the white light of patriotism and
say whether or not he has done his utmost in
this emergency The highest obligation of du-
ty and patriotism command every true Amer-
can to go Immediately to his bank or to his loan
committee and subscribe to the limit of his abi-
lty to the Fourth Liberty bonds. Don't delay,
don't wait to be urged. Be as quick to do your
part in this Fourth Liberty Loan battle as our
soldiers in France are quick to obey the orders
to charge the enemy.
Buy Liberty bonds on the installment plan
If you cannot buy them for cash. Every patri-
otic bank will help you. If every patriotic citi-
zen will do his duty today victory for theI
Fourth Liberty Loan is certain. The continued
victories Of our armies in Europe, the certain
defeat of our enemies and the glorious triumph
for the cause of liberty depend upon what the
American people do in the remaining two days
Of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.

EXPERTS SPEED UP
MAIL OF YANK ARMY

With the American troops in
France, Sept. 16.-(By mail New
kinds of sorting stations are being
organized by the American Expedi-
tionary Forces to direct letters. tele-
grams. and mail of all kinds to the
boys in a hurry.
The army is making every effort
possible to speed mail service. Re
Gently experts, so called because
they used to work in post offices
back in the states, were detailed to
improve mail service The latest de-
vices are being installed everywhere
to facilitate service.
The greatest trouble comes from
mis-addressed letters, according to
the "P. o." boys. People back home
are not careful of the addresses they
use. and men are not always careful
TO notify their families and friends
when they are changed from one or
ganizatiOn to another. But the post
office looks men up any way, though
it's lots OF work.

Meantime we are proceeding on the
theory that the war will go on and
that a spring campaign on big lines

This summary of the war and
peace situation came today to the
United Press from a general officer
holding one of the-most important
places in the army establishment,
but who is prevented by army rules
from talking for publication if his
name is used.
ut is just question now with
Germany as to what price she is
willing to pay for keeping the Amer

declared that it would be fatal to

that all our fighting branches are
going ahead with their plans on a
scale greater than ever before and
