Secretary McAdoo said:
This great result was achieved,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
country has been called upon to pay
since the Second Liberty Loan and
to and including the month of June
income and excess profits taxes to
the amount Of approximately 5000, 900, =
900. which will make a total turned
into the Treasury Of the United States
within few months. from such taxes
and the Third Liberty Loan, of over
S.OOO, 900, 900.
In the first campaign. which start
ed just one year ago. bonds were
sold to approximately 100000 people,
and the country was amazed at this
wonderful evidence of public inter-
est. In October about 9.5cO,OOO people
bought liberty bonds, and now, with
an even more effective organization
and an intense spirit of patriotism
throughout the country. approximately
100000 people purchased bonds of
the Third Liberty Loan. This equals

There Is not one Serbian who has
lost hope" DR.. l. Alcalay. chief rabbi

ages of fourteen and sixty deported

Austria and Germany, the people still
cling to their faith in the outcome of
the war"
DR.. Alcalay spoke of the many
sacrifices made by his countrymen
since the opening of the war-of their
successful resistance to the Austrian
troops. Had Bulgaria not entered
the war we would have resisted to
the end" he continued. But with
the troops of Austria, Germany and
Bulgaria within our borders we could
do nothing but surrender for the
time"

Baer Tells Congress Grain
Will Be Lost If Not
Garnered.

Opening debate on the administra-
ton food production" bill yesterday.
Representative Baer. Of North Da-
kota. Nonpartisan, predicted record
crop OF wheat. He said the nation
would have to aid the farmers mo-
biiize labor at harvest time the same
as help Is given shIpyards and muni-
tions factories in obtaining employees
Free Fares to Farms.
The bill, Baer pointed out, sets a
precedent In United States labor ar
rangements. by offering free railroad
fares TO farm laborers. The labor
and agricultural departments are to
cooperate in inducing city laborers
in non-essential industries to take
jobs in the country.
Five hundred thousand dollars 10
to pay their fares.
Other appropriations are given TO
study best methods of killing various
farm pests and food destroyers. TO
give expert instruction In Goa king ad-
ditional bushels OF crops from an
acre. for selling seed at cost to the
farmer, and for making general es-
Innate of the country's productive
capacity.
To Aid with Harvest.

Baer. VIRTUALLY adopts the principle
of the bill ! recently introduced. IL

in history. complete their harvest
without waste.
"a farmer. his wife and a child may
often seed 10 acres of wheat. but
when harvest comes. the seed, the
labor and all will have been lost II
the grain is not gaTnered. 1t 10 the
best of judgment TO aid the farmers
then. just as it is TO help the NUM-
ton makers and shipbuilders KEEP
their plants busy to capacity"
