There is widespread adverse COM
ment regarding Piedmont cigaret

ly expressed that men might better
be employed in essential work when
war industries in all parts of the
country because of labor shortage are
seriously handicapped in producing
munitions and supplies so urgently

1t is also felt that space might better
be utilized at this time for advertising

sign is extremely offensive to the eye.

The sign covers the whole front

was sent after many complaints had
been received by the Chamber.

BILLION ADAY
NEEDED TO GET
QUOTA IN LOAN
McAdoo Points to Grave Sit
uation in Problem of Rails
ing War Fund
BY Associated Press


Washington, Oct. 17.-One billion
dollars a day is the approximate
measure of subscriptions required to
insure the success of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. The nation had subscrib-
ed only s3,269, 500 by official
tabulation to-day and three days re-
main in which to reach the six bill
l1ion-dollar goal.
In the coming three days the
American people must decide wheth-
er the Fourth Liberty Loan shall be
a success or a failure" said a astte-
ment by Secretary McAdoo. II would
be fatal to minimize the gravity of
the nations problem"
Total subscriptions tabulated Sat
urday at the close of the campaign
must total at least $4,5O0,000,000,
officials said to-day, if the loan is to
be fully subscribed. Belated subscrip-
itions and final tabulations on the
basis of previous loans may be
counted upon to add one billion dol
lars to the total, but it was en-
iphasized that to-day and tomorrow
are the critical days in the cam
paign.
Regardless of peace talk and even
should Germany completely agree
to the Allied peace terms, it was
pointed out to-day the loan must
be subscribed. Part of the six bill
lion dollars already have been eX-
pended, and even should the war end
at once, nearly two million troops in
France must be cared for and re-
turned home at government expense.
Coincident with the receipt of a
report that German prisoners in
this country are buying Liberty
Bonds, news came from France that
when American soldiers capture
Germans and find money upon them
they advise Immediately that the
Germans invest it in Liberty Bonds.
