and loyal followers than he from
the beginning to the end of this
campaign. | desire to thank all
Of those who have helped and to
congratulate them upon the tri-
umph that has followed their ia
ithful efforts, namely the central
committee of officials, bankers and
business men who managed the
campaign with skill and untiring
energy; the local committees who
almost without exception worked
with unfagging zeal in their res
pective localities; the newspapers
throughout the island, especially
the larger dailies who gave their
valuable space without stint to
promote publicity; the women
workers who in this campoign as
always and everywhere in this
great war have shown the keenest
appreciation of the great issues
at stake; and the banks and the
sugar centrals who have all put
their great financial resources at
the service Of their country to
secure this great triumph.
But after all this splendid vic
tory was due to the people of Por-
to Rico and to them belongs the
honor and the glory of it. 1t was
they that subscribed for the bonds
and it is their money that will
pay for them. The great corpor-
aticns outside the island under
the leadership of the New York
and Porto Rico line came to our
help as never before, and all the
residents of the island whether eli
tizens or not especially the Span
ish colony throughout the island
have aided in the great work. Z
The people Of small means have
made sacrifices to show their faith
in their government and their
desire to help win the war.
God helps the brave, and the
people of this island have surely
been brave in this crisis and l am
perfectly confident they will rece-
i've the reward which is due 10
their splendid courage and patr-
ietism.'

Porto Rico has gone over the
top. While all of the subscriptions
have not yet been completely
tabulated and added up, enough is
known toannounce positively that
the quota Of four million dollars
has been covered with an excess
of more than half a million dol
lars. This is a magnificent victo-
ry for the people of Porto Rico.
Nothing could have happened
which would so completely demon
strate their pluck and courage as
well as their loyalty and devotion
to the noble cause for which We
are fighting. ~,
Right in the midst Of this 8 D.
paing for the Fourth Libery Lean,
came the great earthquake with its
loss of life and enormous destruc-
ton of property. Yet not even
this exciting and tragic event
could check for more than a few
days the determination of the peo-
pie of this islands to do their full
duty in this great matter. And
they have performed their duty
with such overfowing, measure
that there can be no dispute about
it whatever.
The tabulation of all the subs
criptions has not yet reached the
point where we can determine
with accuracy just how many mu-
inequalities subscribed or oversub-
scribed their quotas or just how
many different persons are incl
uded in the list Of those who
bought sthese bonds. We know
however that a large proportion Of
the municipalities did subscribe
their full quotas and that not a
few of them oversubscribed. We
know also that a much larger
number of persons participated
in the purchase Of these bonds
than in any previous campaign,
and hope that the number will
exceed fifteen thousand.
Naturally and from the exigen-
cies of the situation the Govern
or has had to assume the post Of
Leadership in this great enterpri-
Sc, but no leader has ever had a
greater army Of willing workers

in every camp in the United Sta
tes and France. This is the work
of preserving and strengthening
the character, morale and the spi-
rit of the soldiers. / remember
when every army camp in the
United States was a training
school for vice, where the men
learned to drink, and gamble and
acquired even worse vices. When
the war was over many returned
home ruined speciments of man
hood.
"The cost of that to the gov
ernment was more than it was
willing to bear. The government
was willing to accept the sacrifice
of the loss of lives on the field OF
honor but the President of the
United States and the War Depart
ment promised to prevent any
re-ocurance of the old conditions.
"In this campaign whatever is
contributed in money, and effort
is intended to prepare our soldiers
before they meet the enemy on the
field of battle and to make them
feel the influences Of the home and
national life.
'tWhen these men return to
their homes, they will be clean and
upright, worthy Of the flag they
hace served and the homes they
represent. They will returno to
their homes destined to a future
life of honor and dignity. This

young men who go to the war and
escape its perils."

sum ever asked from philanthro-

which Porto Rico proposes to raise
is approximately l 10 of 10 of

fixed on the quotas for the Fourth

In making the opening speach
Governor Yager said that it had
been decided to go ahead, with the
campaign in Porto Rico despite
the recent earthquake, for he said,
Providence did not intend by the
earthquake to intimidate any righ-

"Porto Rico has responded no

the war;, said the Governor "The
island has contributed literally
