tee, according to its announcement. will
consider its work we'll done when it has
induced the 100000 employees on the
city payroll to purchase government
securities.
Mayor Hylan has prepared the fol-
lowing loan circular, which has been
sent to the heads of the various de-
partments for distribution:
You are an employe of the City of
New York. You are a part. therefore,
OF that great democratic government
which th- united governments of Ger
many and Austria Hungary seek to
overthrow in order that they may i'm
pose their despotic and imperial sys-
TEN upon the free people of this ma
tion.
THE government is now collecting a
tax upon the individual incomes of all
its citizens above the level at which
such incomes meet the current cost of
sustaining life. The income tax is not
substitute for subscription to Lib
erty bonds, but the government asks
its people to pay such tax, and, in ad-
dition, to subscribe to the third Lib
erty Loan.
you, as an employc Of the CITY of
New York, under the standing inter
pretation of the Law are exempt from
the imposition of this tax. Therefore
apart from the pressure Of the mighty
events that stir the heart Of the world
there is special reason why Won. as
an employe Of the City of New York.

this appeal"

NEW ORLEANS. April 14-Therc's
line Of Fitzgeralds that it is hard to
avoid when you are in New Orleans.
"Thc lion and the lizard keep the
courts where Jamshyd gloricd and
drank deep
New Orleans is a Latin island in an
Anglo Saxon sea, and over it blows a
slow wind out of the past; a languorous
wind laden with memories Of another
day. They are great and significant
memories, for they have to do with the
rich, early hours of the lower Mssiss-
ippi Valley, and besides them the mod
crn she'll which houses the spirit of
New Orleans seems to be without a
great deal of meaning or power.
1t is true that now only the sunshine
deals kindly with the dusty old court
yards in the French quarter, and soli
tude is of the very essence of the at
mosphere; but the vapor that blows
out of these old buildings drifts across
Canal Street to the modern town and
hangs there low in the sky, so that all
Of New Orleans seems enveloped in it,
caught in the mesh of memories, NOV
ing in the present as if the present
were only dream continuation Of the
past. The forms of to-day have not
been disdained, all tne machineries and
orders and confusions of modern life
have found here their uses, but the
punctilos of yesterday surround them
until it is clear they are present only
on sufferance.
Debt to an Old World
1t is strange and fascinating town,
and rot the least strange and fascinat-
ing thing about it is the story of how
it girded itself for war. You will not
find this story on the surface, and, in
looking deeper, I may have been led
through excessive regard for the pow
er of memory to error. Yet so far as
it can be discovered New Orleans has
not decided to front the enemy out OF

The Protestant Episcopal Church
placed itself yesterday behind the sale
of Liberty bonds. Bishop William
Lawrence, chairman of the war fund
commission of the Church, appealed to
all members of the body to purchase
literally. Bonds were placed on sale
In the unconsecrated part of the Ca

said Bishop Tuttle. "While our boys
are in battle, we c~rse..:es, must help
in the conservation of food and in
subscriptions to Liberty bonds A
strong military nation has proclaimed
that might is and should be right The
Allies say: NO, right is and should be
right Can We hesitate to do our part
In the team work necessary to win the
war;"
DR.. George R. Van de Water, rector
of st. Andrews, IN his annual sermon
before the Loyal Legion of New York
at the Church Of the Incarnation, said
that the time had now arrived when
I'VE shall put our hands in our pockets
only to turn them inside out and give
all we have. whether we can afford it
or not.
"a wake-up America is better than
washed-out America" he said. at
is time for ministers to stop talking
soft things and preaching pussyfoot
peace when there is no peace of any
kind that ought to be tolerated. The
world will not have peace until it
prays and pays and pushes"
"The Liberty Loan" said Bishop
Lawrence. in his appeal to the mem
bers of his church, "makes it's demand
on on every member of Christ's Church.
The strength. the lives and the victo-
ries of our boys and men depend di
rectly upon their munitions, barracks.
hospitals, ships and supplies, and these
depend directly upon your economies
and sacrifices in subscribing to the
Liberty Loan
The "win the war" spirit was also
evident in the sermon that the Rev. S.
Parkes Cadman, of Brooklyn preached
estcrday in St. Paul's Methodist Epis-
copal Church, West End Avenue and
Eighty Street.
