New YORK, sept. 24.-Wtlltam G..
McAdoo spoke tonight on the forth
coming Liberty Loan, which will
bear four and one-quarter per cent
interest and. run for twenty years,
unless the government should re-
deem the bonds before October Is,
1888. Secretary McAdoo declared
that without this vast sum 1--WE can
not lick the kaiser" The secretary
made special appeal for the sub
scriptions Of CORPORATIONS and OF
wealthy. individuals as the re-
returns from the third Liberty Loan
indicated that wealthy corporations
and persons of large means had not
responded "commensurately with
their abilities to help
He pointed out that of the s,0O0,-
600 Americans. who subscribed for
the last loan. only 22,5OO, including
corporations, bought bonds in ex-
cess Of $4,000.
Mr.. McAdoo said further: "The
treasury of the United States asks the
American people to subscribe to the
fourth Liberty Loan $4,000, ,oo0. 900.
This money is needed to carry on the
war. We cannot lick the kaiser with
out it. We cannot restore peace to
the world and re.established liberty
and democracy without it.
''The huge, amounts expended by
America in this war are not wholly

wharves and terminal facilities we
are constructing In America for the
accommodation of this merchant ma
rine are an esssattal part of 1t. The
loans to the oYeraments are
|rerresented by obligations Of great
nations who will in time repay them.
Out Of the $4,000, 900, 900 Of appro-
priations made by the congress for
the fiscal year 1919, it is probable
that $8,00O,O00,O00 to- $4,000, ,000,-
900 will represent loans to allied
governments and expenditures for
ships, shipyards, docks, wharves and
other facilities which will be salvaged
Ito the American people.
Wages and salaries are higher in
America today than ever before in its
history. Those who spend every
thing they earn are not only living in
a FOOLS paradise, but they are doing
la grievous injury to their country.
They are living in a FOOLS paradise
because the same degree of prosper
ity cannot be expected to continue on
the return of peace, when the inevi-
table Eeadjustments of all industries
must take place; and they are doing
their country grievous injury be-
cause it is only by saving that-we can
provide our government with the
money which it must have to buy the
essential supplies for our military
forces. Every dollar saved now and
invested in Liberty Bonds will be
worth much more when peace comes
again.

PLAZA
shown.

Something new in the way of emo tion, a human sentiment which has never been quite fully realized and which has never comprised the theme of a screen play has just been in troduced to the inarticulate drama in the Paralta play, Within the Cup" which features Bessie Barriscale and which will be one of the big attrac- tions on the Plaza's bill for the latter half of the week.
 Hills Society Circus with its train ed dogs, ponies and that ''pesky," ill- tempered but screamingly funny kick ing mule will headline the vaude- vile bill the latter half of the week and in support will be lined the Great CT City Four, one of variety's repre- sentative quartets; Frank Franc with his Baby Grand cello and White and West, a. talented young team in songs and dances that should please immensely.
 Gas Logic is the title of the Drew comedy for the latter half of the week.
 Today's bill has been so widely ad- vertised by word of mouth as the best program the Plaza has offered in months that little might be added in the way of commendation.
 It consists of the Patticoat Min strels with it's dazzling array of fem mine charm; Bennington and Scott Miller and Masters and the Helene Trio with Alma Ruebens in the sever act play, "The Answer" and "Salmor Fishing in New Brunswick" as the "rnoYie' features.

EMPIRE

The snows of the far North be- meath the arch of the Arctic circle, form many of the hanGsom4 natural settings of ''Tyrant Fear" the new Thomas UT. Thee picture in which Dorothy Dalton is the star. The story of the photoplay, written by k. Cecil Smith, is one of primitive pas sion unloosed and a woman's fierce struggle against fate, with her ulti- mate triumph after she has once thrown off the shackles of fear.
 This is @ typical Thomas IT. Ince production for Paramount, and per feet in every detail as it is, ''Tyrant Fear" Is a picture of unusual power. Miss Dalton portrays the role of a young woman, who is sold by her inhuman father to a brutal Canadian trapper, a primitive savage of the basest instincts. After subjecting his child-wife to miserable i'll treatment, he gambles her away to the keeper of a notorious dive in a goId settle ment, where she lives uncomplain- ingly the victim of an inborn fear of men and things.
 One day, however. in struggling WAIH Iu0 "ISICl "llO CWHS uGT, SHe summons up enough courage to shcot and wound him, and instantly, her repressed courage drives forth the fear that has Obsessed her since child hood, land she Is transformed into a full-gTown woman, strong and fear less. She has been befriended by 6 dissipatdh pianist of the dance hall who is regenerated through love fol her, while she in turn has placed hel heart in his keeping. The two escape and after finding the body of the brutal husband living in the snow, { new and happier existence for botl dawns for them.
 Miss Dalton is adequately supported in "Tyrant Fear" which is to be pre- sented at the Empire theatre toda! and tomorrow. Chief among the play CTS are Melbourne MadDowell. Thurs ton Hall, William Con4klin, Lou Salte and Carmen Phillips

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Never before in the history of stock production in this city has Bridgeport been given a treat such as is con- tained in that dramatic sensation, Romance" with which the Poli Players are scoring twice daily at the new Lyric theatre. Not in many years has a play been shown here that contains a stronger element of romance and with more tense situa- tions than those found in this most excellent production. Already it's theme has aroused considerable dis ouss1on, and while some are of the opinion that it borders on the inn probable there is an element of fact about it that will not down.
 Miss Warda Howard is seen at her very best in Romance" which calls for a woman in the lead of the type for which Miss Howard is particularly suited. Throughout the play she is called upon for some of her very best dramatic talents which are employed in a manner that entities her to a large amount of credit This is es- pecially true in the last act which is the most powerful that has ever been written into any one story.
 Dudley Ayers is also at his best as the infatuated clergyman who not only porgets his calling but his self respect as we'll until recalled to his senses by the woman who has re- formed because of her strong love for him. Mr. Ayers is seen in two sep arate and distinct parts, the first as an elderly bishop during the prologue and also in the epilogue, but during the three acts which comprise the story of the bishops life, he takes the part of the clergyman.
 Carrie Lowe. Edith Spencer Gladys Knorr, Harold Kennedy, Dan Davis and Ainsworth Arnold are all good and prove able assistants to Miss Howard and MT. Ayers. So strong is this production that seats should be reserved in advance as already there has been a large demand for reserva- tions.

NEW REGULATIONS
 FOR BAKING BREAD

Amendments and additions to the baking rules of the Food Admins tration which will be instrumental in saving greater quantities of wheat flour, became effective April IA.
 Upon that date the required substi- tute content of all bread and rolls was increased from its former 20 per cent. to 25 per cent.
 Under the baking rules issued Feb. 1, bread and rolls were the oa41y bakery products that required wheat flour substitutes, unless those other products were called Victory cakes, Victory pies and so on. Under the new amendments and additions, all bakery products must contain a definite percentage of wheat flour substitutes. The substitute content hereafter required in the various products follow,
 Sweet yeast dough goods, ss 1-s per cent; crackers. 15 per cent :. cookies and ice cream cones, 93 1-s per cent; cakes, B 1-3 per cent; pies, S3 Ia per cent; fried cakes, 33 1-3 per cent; pastry, B Is per cent; batter cakes, Waffles, quick breads s-such as mullins, and Boston brown bread-66 2-s per cent, Under the new rules no public eating place may serve more than ounces of bread and rolls or more than ounces of quick bread to any one person at any one meal. 1 With customers who buy loaf bread, bakers are urged to promote the use of the ree-quarter-peund !! loaf, following the Food Administra- tion's request that the Bounce loaf be used where the 16-ounce loaf was l used before.
 Bakers are urged to introduce "quick breads" as a Wheat-saFing measure. These quick breads, in- cluding mullins, baking-powder bis 1 cults, corn+bread, Boston brown bread, gridd1e cakes, and waff1es must contain two-thirds wheat-four sub- stitutes
