MAKE ANNIVERSARY
! A MEMORABLE AFFAIR
BY Starting Third Liberty Loan
Campaign On April g..

The following statement was Civ.
en- to press by Secretary McAdoo:
"The campaign for the third Lib
crty Loan will be opened on tho 9Th
Of April. 1918, the first anniversary
Of the declaration Of state Of war
between the United States and Ger.
many.
THE amount, terms and condi.
tons OF the loan have not yet been
decided because these features are
dependent upon further Legislation
q expect to ask the congress at
any early date to grant the neces,
sary additional authority
"Of course the opening date OK the
campaign is somewhat dependent
upon the new legislation, but 1t Is
hoped and believed that the matter
can be considered and determined in
ample time to begin the campaign
en- the date suggested.
@April 9Th, will forever be con-
secrated day In American history,
and It seems peculiarly appropriate
that the opening of the second year
of our participation in this war for
honor and rights of America and the
freedom Of the world should be eel
cbrated with nation wide drive for
another Liberty Loan
The campaign should begin with
1 great demonstrations of patriotism
in every city and hamlet in the coun.
try that will truly express the spirit
Of aroused America. On this date ev-
cry American should pledge anew TO
his government the full measure of
his resources and resolve TO make
every required sacrifice in the same
feryent spirit that impels our gallant
sons in the trenches OF France and
oil. the waters Of the Atlantic to shed
4 their blood in Americas sacred cause
TO carry forward Americas essen
tial part in this war for righteous.
ness and justice every man and wo-
man in the country must lend their
available means to the government
and ] know of no more fitting time
for such patriotic response to the
call Of duty than the beginning Of
the second year of the war
THE, campaign in all probability
( will last three or four weeks and an
nouncement of the opening date is
made at this time In accordance
with my promise to make public all
matters connected with the loan as
soon as determined and ii order that
ample time may be given every com
munity to prepare for the event.
X Il earnestly hope that parades and
patriotic meetings will be held In all
parts Of the country.
THE Treasury department will
endeayor to make the observance OF
the anniversary Of che declaration
OF war as memorable as was the pat.
rietic observance during the second
Liberty Loan campaign of Liberty

FINE OPPORTUNITY
FOR ALL TO ASSIST
Not Necessary to Leave Brunt
of Task 10 Men lover There

Recent developments in connec-
ton with the war, especially the
Russian collapse. have brought the
American people to more serious
view Of the war than they had hith-
erto entertained. The nation Is grad
TALLY becoming sobered. The deter
mination not TO regard the war as a
paramount matter. to which many
have been holding. Is being dispell.
ed; carelessness OF the situation on
the one hand aud carping criticism
on the other Is giving way to a foel-
ing OF sadness, bordering sometimes
on encouragement. Men and women
are shaking their heads and saying.
Il tell you this war situation IL
getting serious"
They are anxious for the boys al
ready "Over There and for those
who yet must 90, but ais yet only
comparative few have come TO the
point where they realize that they
are individually responsible for the
saving OF the lives OF those boys.
responsible each to the extent Of
tile largest service he or she Is cap
able Of rendering OF the utmost
sacrifice which any can make for
the benefit Of the men OF the army
or navy. responsible too for tho
the smallest service to which any
may DO called.
Almost every one is anxious to rem
DER great and distinguishing service.
Men who are too old to carry arms
regret the fact that they cannot call
hack youth and strength and embark
upon the great adventure of fightinE
the Germans. And the women many
OF them repine because they are not
men and cannot go forth to battle.
Yet In many cases old men and
weak men and strong women arc
scorning or falling to do the little
things. The surest way to serve In
any cause is to do with your might
what your hand finds TO do.
Doubtless there Is no man or wo-
man in West Virginia who would
refuse to throw a lifeline to drown
ing soldier or sailor. Doubtless there
are many who dream OF even heroic
and spectacular rescues. Yet he or
she who refuses or fails to do every
thing possible here at home TO make
the victory and safe return OF the
American boys more certain and
more swift Is morally in the same
class with one who would refuse to
throw lifeline.
1T Is hard lesson which we are
learning. but we will at least take
IL TO heart. We cannot but doubt that
as the struggle goes forward and
our casualty lists grow longer--as
the grief OF the thing comes home
to every neighborhood, all will BIO
stirred to sacrifice. But In the hour
OF dark realization Will come the II.
resistable regret which comes too
late to all those who in good season
have come short OF doing what they
could.
There is some activity for every
Understanding every responsible
person can do. No such person can
do less than refrain from the pur-
chase of non-essentials and purchase
war-savings Stamps with the saw
ing. 1t is not idle talk to say that
because you fail in some smail duty,
some soldier or sailor may die as
surely as if you should fail to throw
him lifeline as he struggled to
keep afloat on the sea, The Lesson
will come home 10 YOU Why not
learn II now?

More Hands Needed
In Cotton Fields
Labor Shortage Is Only Seri-
Gus Drawback to Crop
Situation

WASHINGTON. July z. - In the
South there is some talk of the need
of more field hands for cotton picking,
and the usual predictions of boil weevil
damage later and other causes of de-
terioration, but the belief is general
that the harvesting will sustain the
governments estimate, which indicates
the third largest crop on record.
Many men who would otherwise pick
cotton have been drafted, and the labor
situation is considered the me st serious
factor. But more women than ever
will be used in the fields and work will
cover longer hours daily. Work will
be continued on Saturday afternoon
in almost every section, it is expected
The elimination of this half-holiday
has begun already. There Is also more
disposition to use machinery wherever
possible. Cotton production still con-
tinues to be hand industry.
The government report Of Tuesday
last gave the crop condition as 85%
per cent of normal. A more favorable
July forecast has not been known since
1911, when it was 1914
New-York tribune., 1918-07-08

tlon, In lines of work where they have
never been employed before, seemed to
be to put them in charge of some re-
liable, steadfast woman, whom they
cannot work nor fool, since she knows
them as only one woman knows an
other. 1t is her province to teach as
we'll as to admonish and inspire in
them liking for their job and de-
sire to increase their efficiency that
they may thus get advancement and
better wages.
Boys Quicker Than Women
They are not so quick as boys and, at
first, it takes more of them to do the
same work, but where we'll handled
they develop more reliability and more
accuracy than the class of boys now
available. 1t seems more difficult at
first to get teamwork out of them,
since, after the fashion of women, they
are apt to make personal matter of
their business differences; yet those
employers with whom l talked felt that
this would be eradicated by patient
teaching and the gradual lapse of time.
One OF the noticeable features of the
business life with which l came in
3'@"' eon'acI WAS Ine prompt ana
ready acquiescence in every plan made
necessary by the emergencies of war.
One case, that of the cutting out of
non-essentials, was much in evidence.
In business there is fast spreading a
desire to anticipate government wishes
and pronouncements by a reduction Of
assortments in all lines to the lowest
possible limits of utility and to carry
only essential and staple goods in
stock and. for the time being, to refuse
to cater to whims and notions, as has
been only too elaborately done in the
past.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-08

Quiet conditions have prevailed
in the general investment market
during the past week. There was a
falling off in volume of corporate
financing compared with the preced-
ing week, although a number of
small issues were made on behalf
of public utility concerns and munic-
ipalities. Corporate borrowers who
have to seek the open market for
fresh funds are now paying between
e and z per cent, and more in some
cases, for their money, a high rate,
but one which is considered war
ranted in view of the general financ-
ing situation. June was the most
active month in long time in the
way of new security issues, the total
Of corporation financing during the
month aggregating more than $780,
600, 900, of which about SIS, ,0OO,O 900
was for refunding purposes. Ac-
cording to present indications, cor
poration borrowing will continue on
an active scale most of the summer,
at least just so long as the market
is able to absorb new issues. The
surprising factor of late, according
TO the investment bankers, has been
the Willingness Of investors to take

new securities in the face Of the
tremendous demands which have
been made upon them since the
United States entered the war.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-08

Government operations on large
scale have been responsible in recent
days for temporary Tightening OF
the local money market situation.
Heavy Withdrawals Of government
depo sits were made last week and
more are impending this week, so
that the banks have found it neces-
sary for the time being to restrict
the extension of credit for stock
market purposes. Last week call
money rates at the Stock Exchange
rose to 6 per cent, and the sudden
dearth of call funds brought the
bankers money committee into &C
tion for the first time in several
weeks. 1t was significant of bank
ing opinion as regards the future
course of money rates that In
creased activity developed in the
markets for commercial paper and
bank acceptances, number of in
stitutions making heavy purchases
Of such bills for investment. Sub
scriptions closed during the week
to the first of the new issues Of Az
per cent certificates of indebtedness,
of which the Treasury plans to sell
$6,000,O00,000 before next Octo-
Der in anticipation Of the fourth
United States war loan. Banks in
this district took $312,000,O00 of
the $750,000,o00 certificates just
sold by the Treasury. Another Of
fering of the same amount is about
to be made, of which the local banks
are expected to take as a minimum
quota at least $254,000,OO0. These
transactions cannot help but exert
an influence on day to day rates for
money, but government borrowing
on such a huge scale has come now
to be regular thing, and the finan-
cial machinery for handling these
operations has been so perfected
that they are accomplished with a
minimum of disturbance.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-08

The security markets have en-
tered upon Che new half year under
auspicious circumstances. Optimism
+, continues the dominating note, re-
flecting confidence on all sides in
the favorable outcome of the war.
Business in stocks and bonds has
contracted sharply in recent days
owing largely to the conditions
which usually obtain. during the
early weeks of the summer holiday
period, yet prices have been we'll
maintained despite the decreased vol
ume of activity. Developments dur
ing the past week were of char
acter to inspire fresh confidence
among the holders of corporate Sc
curities, even though new buying on
large scale was not stimulated
The influence of Allied successes
of local nature in France, the
launching of almost hundred new
American ships, the announcement
that the United States has more
than 100000 men in France un-
der arms, were all important con-
tributory factors in generating in
creasing optimism. Another favor
able factor that was not lost sight
of was the action Of the War In
dustries Board in unexpectedly in
creasing the price of copper from
/ % II to 26 cents a pound, thereby
helping the copper producing inter
ests to meet the steadily rising costs
of operation.
Some nervousness was aroused as
result of the Federal Trade Com
missions report on profiteering, and
early in the week stocks were offered
for sale on the argument that Con-
gress would probably add heavily to
the tax burden as a result. This
remains to be seen, and it will prob
ably be many weeks before the new
tax schedule covering the current
year is in such form that it's effects
on industrial earnings can be de-
termined with any degree of Ger
tainty. Production conditions in
the country are extremely favorable.
Surprise was occasioned last week
at the brilliant prospect of the new
cotton crop, which the government
estimates in excess of 100000
bales on the basis of its present con-
dition and acreage. Output of pig
iron in June was on slightly small
er scale than in May, although the
decrease was not important. The
war news leaves little to be desired,
although the markets are plainly
waiting for the next phase of the
German offensive, which it is ex-
pected will be launched soon. There
is, however, no apprehension in
financial circles over the outcome, as
is indicated by the stolidity Of the
markets.
