still would have an enormous financial
problem to solve which would neees
citate the raising fmuch more money.
More expenditures are anticipated and
those expenses will hang over until
long after peace has come.
Reports that the loan is to be extend.
ed for another week were again dem
led by the secretary. He said he was
cons inced that the American people
would rise TO their full duty and sub
scribe the loan.
that the subscription of the navy to
the liberty loan totalled $2S,000,000,
which is 100000 above the quota set
for the navy.
Uncle Sam jaekies throughout the
world are enthusiastically subscribing
to the loan and some ships have sub
seribed en- masse. According to Ad-
miral Cowie, in charge of the navy lib
erty loan campaign, the showing by the
navy is Equivalent to the sinking of
Submarines. Subscriptions are still
coming in.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board today appealed today to ship
workers all over the country to "eome
across for the loan. Telegrams were
sent to all the shipyards reading:
''We must win the war. We can t do
it without the $6,000,000,0 600 the gov
ernmcnt asks you to lend to it. We
can t get along without this money. We
can t continue to build ships to carry
our boys to France Or to carry them
home again. when the German govern
mcnt finally admits the complete fail
ure Of its plan for world domination
unless this loan is a success.
"We will need large part of the
$4,000, 100000 loan if we are to finish
tho construction of the fleet under way
aud have a merchant marine that will
give us prosperity at the end of the
war. Only the failure of this liberty
loan can take the heart out of our boys
or halt their progress.
