WORK FOR The LOAN.
MUST Be REDOUBLED
Present Loan Most Important That
Has Been offered to The American
People-Sacrifices Must be Made
To Insure Its Success.

| Washington, Oct 9.-The Treas
ury Department announced tonight
that. with approximately half OF the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign over,
only 81, 791, 463,200, or about one
third of the Sc, 000,000,000 asked for
| by Secretary McAdoo had been sub
scribed. and direct appeal was made
TO all citizens to go deeper into their
resources in a final drive.
Officials joined in saying that the
peace offensive launched by Germany
should not be permitted to slow up
the loan drive for moment, and Act
ing Secretary of War Benedict Gro
well, in the course of an interview,
said that this would be the worst
time to pause or even consider the
possibility Of peace. Il say this,
he declared, particularly in refer
ence to Liberty Bond buying"
There was no effort on the part OF
the Treasury Department to conceal
the concern felt by officials because
of the slow progress which is being
made. An official statement said:
Doubtless there are many sub
scriptions that have not been report
ed. but it is certain that even if ali
of these were included in the official
returns the loan would not be one
half subscribed as it should be.
The very latest returns received
at the Treasury Department up to the
close of business today show total
subscriptions of 1871, 463,200. This
is an increase OF only about $780,
100000 over yesterdays report.
There is no use in denying or at
tempting to camoufiage the fact, that
Liberty Loan committees throughout
the country are confronted with a
serious situation.
If the loan is to be subscribed, a
daily average of $467, 100000 must
be raised between now and Oct. 10.
The total amount of subscriptions to
date is equal only approximately to
the New York district quota.
"Cognizant of the fact that the
loan never can succeed at its present
|speed, canvassers throughout the
Ecountry are stating plainly to all citi
|zens that they must buy bonds in lar
ger amounts than they have hereto
fore Wealthy persons must go deep
er into their capital, or extend their
credit and not depend upon current
incomes alone to pay their bonds.
People of moderate means and small
means must pledge their future earn
ings in greater degree. Persons who
heretofore have not bought bonds
must periodically get behind their
country. Wherever possible persons
of moderate means must increase
their subscriptions"

Whitman Praises Work
Done by Industry Since

As betting the serious times, there
was more formality to the opening o1
the automobile show yesterday in The
Grand Central Palace than has beer
the case in earlier. days. Governor
Whitman's talk was preceded by g

Governor Whitman spoke in prais

important work it is doing directly ane
indirectly in war time. In speaking
great displays draw public attention
very forcibly to the magnitude OF the
business and at the same time offer an
opportunity of comparing various ad-
justments and rival forms of ingenuity
Governor Whitman was introduced
on the floor Of tic Palace by Alexander
J. Hcmphill. president of the Automo-

The show itself is one Of the most
interesting of all the motor car ex-

KANSAS WHEAT CROP MAY
REACH 1920. 900 BUSHEL

Kansas should produce wheat
crop of 1920, 900 bushels this year
as result of the copious rains that
have fallen during the past three
weeks. The condition of the growing
wheat crop has jumped from IT'S
per cent on April 1, to So per cent,
according to j. G. Mohler, secretary
of the state board of agriculture, who
bases his estimates on reports re-
ceived from over the state within
the last few days.
The normal yield per acre, based
on an estimate of 100 per cent, is
given by the United States author
tiles as seventeen bushels, but many
civilian experts place it at twenty.
According to Dickinson farmers the
wheat here never was in better
condition.
