want of clothes. Of this number
scarcely a man had pair of shoes. Al
though the total of the army exceeded
1900 men, the effective rank and file
amounted to SOP. Their clothes were
in tatters. The Quaker Isaac Potts
tells us of Washington's prayer at VAL

preaching nearer, whom should he be-
hold, in a kind of bower, but the COM
mander in chief on his knees praying
to the Ruler of the Universe. At the
moment when Friend Potts, concealed
by the trees, came up, Washington was
interceding for his beloved country.
When he reached home his wife asked
the reason for his agitation.
"T have this day SEEM replied he,

appointed if God, through him, does

the Crash.
Philadelphia, FEB 22.-Four men
wereskilled and three seriously injur-
"a when a 2O0-foot section of : tres
tie on the new Hog Island extension
q the Pennsylvania railroad, near
S1xtieth and Eastwick avenue, collaps-
cd under the weight of an engine and
ten loaded dirt cars.
Three of the four dead have leen
identified. They are: Lewis .,e wea,
Angelo Ceranonico, and Nicho as Fed

The scene of the accident was in
IN isolated spot about six squares be-
low Woodland avenue. The trestle
crosses the tracks of the Chester
branch Of the Reading railway and
was built to convey earth for the
roadbed of the new short line to Hog
island.
The bridge Is being built under the
supervision of Thomas Riley, a con-
tractor. The section of the trestle
which gave way, hurting men to their
death, was a tall. fragile-looking struc.
ture.
When the train of narrowguage
cars began to cross the wooden frame
work, the span bean to creak and,
- the structure toppled, the cars
parted from the engine and fell, some
Z distance of forty feet, others est
ing on a new-made clay b~nE. The
workmen on the train were buried
under huge piles of dirt and splintered
lumber.
Fellow-workmen quickly rushed to
the rescue and began the task of dig
ging for the buried men. About an
hour after the accident, the deHd md
the injured had all been removed from
4he debris.

Much enthusiasm is felt over the
telegram received from A. R. Rogers
chairman Of the Ninth Federal Re,
serve district regarding the cam:
paign to start this week for the
fourth Liberty loan. ..s.
Mr.. Rogers telegraphed A. M. An:
derson, county chairman of the Lib
erty loan drive, giving briefly the
plan the government has to induce a
large sale Of bonds, giving chance
for the live counties of the north
ern part of the state to get in the
limelight by having a ship or tank
named for the county. Cook county
has always gone over the top in any
project mapped out for it in war
work and will make a determined ef-
fort to win in this one.
The following telegram was given
out last evening by A. M. Anderson:
/ 1--WE have just received telegram
from Washington granting to the
Ninth Federal Reserve district the
privilege of naming four warships
and 10 tanks, and we have decided
that the four ships shall be named
after the four counties having the
four largest percentage of distribu-
tion Of the fourth Liberty loan
bonds, and that the 10 tanks shall
be named after the 10 counties hav-
ing the next largest percentage of
distribution Of fourth Liberty loan
bonds. The above awards to be bas-
ed on the estimate of population fig,
ures now on file in this office
"This award is independent and
apart from the opportunity just Of,
fered your state to have ship nam.
ed after her, the details of which
plan the chairman will inform you
Immediately. Here is chance for
the people Of your county to see
their ship possibly sinking a. submar,
inc, or their tank going thrus Hun
line. Get busy and secure a prize
Must move quickly the time is short
Notify newspapers and every chair
man."
Cook county has a very : good
chance to win in this contest owing
to our small population and the high
percentage Of purchases we have al
ways had in Liberty bond sales.

THE FOURTH LOAN is
THE. FIGHTING LOAN

AS the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan approaches the Ameri-
can Army in France moves on to-
ward Berlin. Under our own leaders
the great American Army has won a
notable victory.
The Fourth Loan must be a great
success. The Fourth Liberty Loan is
a fighting loan.
,.s When our soldiers on the battle
front are Drawing death, each one Of
fering to make the supreme sacrifice
for his country and the great cause,
we who remain safely at home surely
should give them every support,
should make evey sacrifice to
strengthen them. If we cannot fight
ourselves we can make our dollars
fight.
1t is a great cause for which Amer
lea is engaged in this war; it is a
great: struggle in which the very
hope of the world is bound up that
is being waged in Europe and ON the
high seas. 1t is an honor to have a
part in it and all Americans, all of
their lives will be proud of the part
they had in it or ashamed of their
failure to do their part.
The Fourth Loan is a fighting loan.
Every subscriber to the Loan strikes
blow for Liberty, for Victory.
