Nationwide Appeal
To Aid Loan Made BY
Historical Society

A countrywide appeal for the sup
port Of the fourth Liberty Loan and q
demand for the unconditional surren-
der OF Germany were sent broadcast
throughout the country yesterday by
tho executive committee of the Ma
tional Historical Society, after meet
ing at 81 West Thirty ninth Street
"President Wilson Knows the soci-

people are fighting for unconditional
surrender OF organized criminality
to law and justice and he will keep
the taith as our boys are doing in
battle, if we give him q treasury
heaped with American eagles to show
that al we have and arc belong to
THIS tight Of sane humanity against the
crimes of perverts to pagarism.
"Ihe fourth Liberty Loan is largely
mortgaged to repay our banks funds
already advanced and spent to finance
the glorious blows for freedom our
army and navy have just delivered.
We must keep the war chest full.
'Moreovcr, should the war end TO-
day this fourth Liberty Loan and
other loans would be as necessary to
establish peace as to carry on the
war. We are bankers to the world.
Having loaned our wealth to save the
nations, we must continue to loan it
to put them on their feet, rebuild
wasted towns and reestablish desolat-
ed populations and industry"

the latest German peace note, saving:

present triumphant advance Of the AL
lied armies. From fortified hill
overlooking the battlefield I saw Gen
salient, while more than 1000 big guns
silenced the German artillery and
pointed the wedge which finally cut
off tho salient and rescued from Ger
man occupation French soil which for
four years had been in their possess
sion.
"The next day went into St. Mihicl
and saw the people at the end Of the
captivity singing the national songs Of
France and having a festival of thanks
! giving for their deliverance. The blow
was sudden and the victory complete.
"For few days there was iull.
Then by concerted movement the
French and Americans opened new
attack from the Meusc to the West,
covering the Argonne Forest, and later
the battle was taken upon the entire
front, stretching to the Channel.
II witnessed the start from one Of
the forts Of Vcrdun and again saw di-
visions of American troops pressing
forward with irresistible dash through
defences which had for three years
seemed imprcgnable. The stream of
German prisoners and the captured war
Of the enemy. The cheers Of our SOL
diers as they pressed on into the bat
tie and the brave happiness of our
wounded in the hospitals back Of the

| can army had shown it is irresistible
and this spirit is unconquerable."
In summarizing his views of the
military situation, Secretary Baker
said:
'Thc Allied armies are now in the
full tide Of victorious advance. Amer
lean divisions are lighting with the
British, with the French, and in theil
own sectors, and everywhere the enemy

The reason was pinned to his shir,
and also concealed in its innermost re-

adorned the outside of the garment.

Then something changed the mind
OF the old man. Perhaps it was the

Perhaps it was the sight Of the italian

secret gloating of miser and invest
his very heart and soul, his money, in
the cause which wrought the trans

Yesterday afternoon to dwellers in

quests for bonds from people Of the
neighborhcod. The Governor spoke at
Jefferson Park, 114th Street and First
Avenue, after parade of Liberty Loan
workers through the district.
"You have sent your sons and hus
bands and lovers to France to fight"
said Mr.. Whitman, "and the result is
that we are on the road to victory.
Every Liberty bond that you buy is a
bullet to help them reach that victory.
after which they will come back to
you. I have every confidence that you
will do SO, to bring MS that victory
which is so near and dear to u.s."

honor of the district.
"Cp to The present time" Nh Strong
Wrote~ the subscriptions have not been
coming in at Il rate which by any means
insuros the success Of the loan in this
district, and it is clear that the last
week OF the campaign must see much
| greater Increase in subscriptions than
three preceding loans"
Behind Last Loans Figures
In q statement of the local situation
issued last night at the Liberty Loan
Committee headquarters, l2O Broad
way, it was pointed out:
"Ihc subscriptions recorded to date
constitute only 31.2 per cent Of the
! New York districts quota. IN tho
quota had been subscribed in the cor
responding period. These figures show
the magnitude OF the task the Liberty
Loan workers face this week In each
of the six days there are only six
banking hours, so that S1,237, ,724 $50
must be raised in technically thirty-sx
hours, or at The rate of $3A,381 PAS. .03
! an hour. Even if peace came at once it
would still be vitality necessary to raise
this loan, as the funds it will provide
already have been spent to large eX-
tent. Moreover, peace or no peace. at
least one more loan will be necessary,
/ Treasury officials say"
Although the Reserve Bank will be
open only six hours day, many of the
booths and ether selling agencies will
be open from early morning until late
at night The sellers of the securities
of Liberty bonds have been instructed
to get the men and women and chill
iren who have already subscribed to
this loan to subscribe again in view of
the enormous deficit that needs must
be overcome.
