Two former ambassadors of the
United States to Turkey cheered 5000

that the Porte would soon captulate.

spoke from the steps Of the SubTreas-

Jerusalem, Damascus, Bagdad and Con-
stantinople. Three have been taken
away. She can no longer stand, any
more than chair OF table can
stand, on one leg. Turkey will fall in
a few weeks. Austria-Hungary will
go next. Only Germany will be left.
THE Germans recognize positively
stantinople the German Ambassador
told me the German government al
ready was figuring on the next war.
The Germans do not figure on being
relegated forever.
"There can be no peace unless the
German military machine is destroyed
by force or voluntarily scrapped. 1t
is your pocketbook that will do it, and
you ought to be willing even to bor-
row money to buy Liberty bonds. The
whole world is forcussing attention on
this loan drive. If pressure is re-
lexed great harm will result"
In his adress Mr.. Elkus remarked:
"Our peerless leader in Washington
has given his answer to Germany. Full
support of this loan will be our an
swer to all our enemies. Turkey wants
peace, but Turkey must be punished
for her atrocious crimes against the
Armenians and the Syrians."

Nippon's Representative
Makes Address at the
Altar of Liberty
Minister Helps Loan

The Rising Sun, the emblem of
Japan, was raised yesterday at the
Altar of Liberty. at the foot of the
Avenue Of the Allies. Viscount Ishii,
the Ambassador from Nippon, assured
the thousands who gathered to hear
him speak at noon that the Orient and
the Occident were one in their de-
termination to defeat the common
enemy of the civilized world.
1T is a matter of mutual satistac-
tion." the Viscount declared, ITO
realize that the American and Japan
ese troops are fighting to-day shoul-
der to shoulder in the Siberian field.
"They have swept away our foe
from the Maritime Provinces and
from the Za-Biakal regions. Several
thousand Austro-German prisoners
who, being rearmed, were leading the
Bolshevik troops in Siberia, have been
recaptured. In less than six weeks
opposing forces have been completely
defeated and scattered. Your Stars
and Stripes and our Rising Sun, to-
gether with the colors of the other
Allies, are being received by the Rus
sian inhabitants with open arms ev-
erywhere in Eastern Siberia"
Discussing the Liberty Loan, the
representative of the Japanese nation
said:
"You now are going to prove once
more to the entire world that the
Americans behind the bonds are Just
as efficient and powerful as the Ameri-
cans behind the guns. BY the pre-
vious war loans you have shown how
immense your monetary resources are;
now you have started the biggest of
loans in the annals of the world
finance. These mighty enterprises of
yours not only call forth the admlra-
tion and appreciation of all your al
llr, but are bound to create IN the
mind of our enemy an utter dismay
and discontinue"
The Japanese flag, was raised at the
altar by Captain Uyeda. naval attache
at Washington, and Miss Fumiko
Yada, daughter of the Japanese Con-
sui General, placed a bouquet of
white and yellow chrysanthemums-
the flower of her native country-on
the altar.
