Liberty Loan Drives Said
to Have Given New Field
to Promoters
u. S. to Open Crusade
Bankers Will Take Part in
Campaign to Protect
Investing Public

WASHINGTON, July "a. Propa-
ganda educating the public to the value
of Liberty bonds as investments has
served to aid the flotaton Of many
times more wildcat securities than in
peace times.
This was asserted to day by Louis
Is. Franklin, director of Liberty Loan
organization for the Treasury, at con-
terence of government agencies and
other organizations, called by the Capt.
tai Issues Committee to consider means
OF suppressing highly speculative pro
motion and development enterprises
during the war.
Other speakers declared the sale of
wildcat stocks and bonds had increased
many fold within the last year, owing
to high wages and the Willingness of
prom oters to take Liberty bonds in
payment for securities.
A nationwide system of minimizing G
this form Of fraud was arranged, with
the cooperation of the American Bank
ers' Association, Investment Bankers
Association, United States Chamber of
Commerce, Associated Advertising
Clubs and government departments.
Promoters Learn Quickly
Mr.. Franklin said the success of Lib
erty Loan campaigns had taught pro-
moters new lessons in the marketing
| of securities. These men had virtu-
ally thrown away their old Sucker
lists" he said, and solicited thousands
of wage earners with the plea that
! government requirements for oil, coal
and other products demanded that pa
trotc citizens loan money for devel-
opment of new wells, mines or fac
tories.
Between so and 90 per cent Of
the fraudulent securities now being
marketed are given in exchange for
Liberty bonds, which are sold later
| by the promoters, said Mr. Franklin
Between $3.50, 100000 and $500, ,000,-
600 of fraudulent securities, not passed
on by the Capital Issues Committee and
not recognized by organized invest
ment bankers, have been marketed in
/ the United States within the last year,
said Richard Morse, representing the
Investment Bankers Association. This
sum is lost both to the individual pur-
chasers and to the government, he ex-
planned.
Not Given u. S. Approval
These "wildcat" securities have
not been submitted to the Capital Is
sues Committee for approval, although
the committee is auth orized to pass
on all issues of stocks, bonds or notes
of more than 100000, dete rmining
whether they contribute directly to
war purposes. If approval is given, it
does not imply specific approval of the
value of the securities, and the COM
mttee has no power of compulsion.
To meet this situation the conference
agreed to cooperate with national Wig
lance committee of bankers and bust
ness men to be organized by the Cap
ital Issues Committee.
"Wildcat" issues will be investi-
gated and a systematic effort made
to direct public opinion against them,
and to educate small investors concern
ing the risks involved.

Liberty Loan Drive
Will Start Sept. 28

WASHINGTON. July 24.-Thc Treas
ury Department virtually has decided to
hold the fourth Liberty loan compaign
in the three weeks period between Sat
urday. September %, and Saturday, Oc-
tober 10.
An announcement is expected this
week in order to permit Liberty Loan
workers and business interests to ar
range for the campaign.
The length of the drive will be re-
Guccd from the usual four weeks, as
recommended by many Liberty Loan
workers, with the hope of averting the
usual slump Of interest in the middle
of the campaign.
Reasons promrtng officials to choose
these dates included the fact that
farmers. during October, probably can
make liberal subscriptions from har-
vest proceeds and that it was desirable
TO end the campaign week or two be-
fore the November elections.
Thousands Of candidates for office
are expected to enroll as Liberty loan
speakers, although discussion of politi-
cal issues will not be tolerated.

''Sir:
''In reply to the communication of the German
Government, dated the l9th instant, which you
handed to me to-day, have the honor to request
you to transmit the following
''The unqualified acceptance by the present Ger
Government and by large majority of the
Reichstag of the terms laid down by the President of
the United States of America in his address to the
Congress of the United States the 9Th of January
19l8 and in his subsequent addresses, justifes the
President in making frank and direct statement of
his decision with regard to the communication of the
German Government of the Sth and 18th of October,
1918.
1T must be clearly understood that the process
of evacuation and the conditions of armistice
matters which must be left to the judgment and ad-
vice of the military advisers of the Government of
the United States and the Allied Governments, and
the President feels it his duty to say that arrange
ment can be accepted by the Government of the
United States which does not provide absolutely sat
isfactory safeguards and guarantees of the mante-
nance of the present military supremacy of the armies
of the United States and the Allies in the field He
feels confident that he safely assume that nothing
but this will also be the judgment and decision of the
Allied Governments.
"The President feels that it is also his duty to
add that neither the Government of the United States
nor, he is quite sure, the Governments with which
the Government of the United States is associated
beigerent will consent to consider an armistice
long the armed forces of Germany continue the
illegal and nhumane practices which they still per-
sist in. '.s.'"

approaches the Government of the United States

of wanton destruction which has always been regarded
in direct violation of the rules and practices of
civilized warfare. Cities and villages, if not de-
stroyed, being stripped of all they contain not
only, but often of their very inhabitants. The
nations associated against Germany cannot be ex-
pected to agree to cessation of arms while acts of
nhumanity, spoliation and desolation are being
continued which they Justly look upon with horror
and with burning hearts.
It is necessary, also, in order that there may be
possibility of misunderstanding that the President
should very soemny call the attention of the Govern
ment of Germany to the language and plain intent
of of the terms of peace which the German Gov
ernment has accepted. 1t is contained in the
address of the President, delivered at Mount Vernon
on the 4th of July last
1T is as follows: The destruction of every arbi-
trary power anywhere that can separately, secretly
and of it's single choice disturb the peace of the world
if it cannot be presently destroyed, at least its
reduction to virtual impotency.' The power which
has hitherto controlled the German nation is of the
sort here described 1t is within the choice of the
German nation to alter it. The Presidents words
just quoted naturally constitute a condition pre-
cedent to peace, peace is to come by the action of
the German people themselves. The President feels
bound to say that the whole process of peace will,
in his judgment, depend upon the defnteness and
the satisfactory character of the guarantees which
can be given in this fundamental matter 1t is
indispensable that the Governments associated against
Germany should know beyond peradventure with
whom they dealing.
The President will make a separate reply to the
Royal and Imperial Government of Austria Hungary.
Accept, sir, the renewed assurances of my high
consideration
