ing momentum.
The entire state is about ~ 1000, 600
short OF It's quota Of tbs.2ls.Vuo,
I'VE are going TO raise our quota
said Chairman G. 4, Wills Thursday
but IL IL going TO take super
human effort Everybody must do
his part"
But the fact that Seattle has hit
a winning gait does not relieve loan
siackern Of their responsibility. The
state is tagging. and the nation, too.
Seattle. with all her war prosperity
must over-Hubseribe.
'The committee Is now waiting 20
hear from such men as Col Henry
fandes, who IN rated 20 buy 10000
TO iis. 900. ana who has bought but
1900, two purchases Of 5000 each,

ing 10 secure a subscription more IN

Gwinn has purchased but $3.50 worth
OF bonds, while his rating Is from
81. 900 20 $4,000 and he h reputed
TO have $50. 600 IN the bank. pc
cullar feature OF this ease II that Mr.
Gwinn has two sons In the army.
and that he takes the attitude that
he has done his share.
ArrnourS Stacking
among the difficulties which the
committee has encountered n that
of foreign corporations. like Armour
4 Co. for instance This company.
IL has been reported 10 the commit.
tee. took the subscriptions OF It's EN-
ployes. amounting TO sio,sso. and
them to Chicago and
then gave this committee a subserip-
ton Of but $4,000. In view 81 the
fact that foreign corporations who
do business here Increase by their
bank balances the quota % seattle,
the committee feels that u Is not
only unjus; that the subscriptions q
its employees. who are residents Of
seattle. should be credited to Chi.
cago. but that other Seattle citizens
should be called upon To make up
the quota Of corporations Of this
kind
This committee IL determined
that every one shall bear a fair pro.
portion Of the burden OF the cam
paign. II now has under conaidera-
ton the names 81 two more men
whom II regards aa bond slacksrn.

All Get Hearing
Wills states tina; a hearing h.
fore the rating committee r. given
20 any man who feels that he has
h.en over-rated A. an Indication
that tho ratings are not excessive.
he points 10 the fact that ~ per
cent OF the teams have reached
their quotas
a large number OF patriotic
women. including many idle school
teachers. worked on the streets all
day "Wednesday in spite of the
rain. and brought in over $4,000.
Fight Just Begun"
A ringing message was received
by the shipynrd workers In q tele-
gram from Chairman T. y. Hurley,
Of the Emergency fleet corpora
ton. II says:
NO Hhipworker will mako the
error Of thinking for a moment
that the war Is nearly over. Amer
lea has Just begun 10 fight In the
coming months our long prcpara-
ton on the battle line and In the
shlpyardx viii Yield results Ship
workers know the need for contin-
ued record breaking. Every ton Of
shipping delivered now IL needed TO
carry our boys 20 France. Every
ton launched now means force 10
the utmost TO really win tho war
next spring. Don't so by the war
map. That still needs a lot OF
changing. and the enemy stiil needs
a lot Of licking. Tonnage will win
the war and bring permanent
peace"

this evening Seattle Is sim short Of
