The option clause thus gives the gov

Under the option clause, the govern

PRESIDENT WILSON
PLEADS FOR BONDS
Wants One Million Americans
To Purchase On Install

Washington, May President Will,
son today called upon 100000 Am
orleans to match him with a $50 liberty
bonds down and S5 a month.
Inaugurating 'buy ana her bond "
campaign starting today, the president
after purchasing all the bonds he felt
he could, got another $50 one on the
installment plan, providing a million
people in the country will so with him
on the proposition.
With about a half billion dollars yet
to so, the president believes that at
least $50,000,000 can be raised through
the cooperation of a million Americans
willing to get "another bono" with him
To date 100000 Americans have
purchased bonds-three million more
subscribers than in the second loan. But
I Ile per capita subscription, owing to
the failure of the wealthy TO respond,
has failed to put the loan cover" to
date.
The field has been combed for all
except the banks who so largely floated
the first and second loans. Only extra
effort and further sacrifice by individ
uals viii prevent turning 10 banks for
most of the balance now.
This loan, with its vast subscription
list, is leaving the country in splendid
financial condition, according to off
GERS of the federal reserve board.
