Waking Up the
Man-in-t -the-Street

But at last the man in the street
woke up, He saw the first of the
drafted men go away; he heard that
the boy next door had joined the
colors; his own son announced his IN
tenticn of trying for a commission.
He read the newspapers more care
fully. He began to take new interest
in international events. His curiosity
was aroused by the many feverlsh
incidents that suggest the nations
war activity He began to dis
tinguish between the gold cord on
the cayalryman's service hat and the
red braid on the artilleryman'
chapeau.
The psychological effect of all this
was reflected in the second Liberty
Loan. From 100000 men and women
the numter who bought bonds of the
first loan-the figures jumped to 10,-
100000. 1t had taken the man in the
street just seven months to wake up
and be convinced that this is not a
rich mans war-that it is every Amer
leans war, and that it must be won by
American men and American dollars.
There will be a further awakening
during the coming campaign. The me-
dium through which this will be
accomplished in New York City is the
Rainbow Division Of the Liberty Loan.
composed O. between eighty and ninety
divisions, representing every branch
of professional, business and indus
trial activity in the greater city.
The function of this important or
ganization will be to bring home the
message of the loan to every man and
woman who earns livelihood in trade
here The campaign for subscriptions
will be assisted by the Advisory Trades
Committee.

street took only casual interest in

saw that the French had taken or lost
such and such an objective, or that
the British casualties for the week

he stopped there. He never asked
who was paying the war bills, and he
never offered to contribute his time,
his money, or his brains to help the
government 1t was not his war, he
said. and he did not intend to mix up
in it.

Your Money FIRST
Aid to Fighters

Not two weeks after the second
Liberty Loan there began to be spread
broadcast over the country stories to
the effect that to realize on the bonds
one had to suffer a loss. The stories
were backed by specific instances
Every man who related this tale could
point directly to friend in Chicago
who had lost money by buying Liberty
bonds.
Now, there two things to remember
about the Liberty loans.
First: Your investment in Liberty
Loan bonds is an act Of patriotism
You do not invest one day to realize
the Next. 1t IS not q momcntary opera
t.oN. Iou DO not hard Your money to
The government to get it back to-mor-
row. You lend your money to the gov
ernment to help win the war. And a
certain definite time limit is stated on
each bond as the period for which the
money is loaned. You cannot reason
ably expect to lend to-day and receive
again tomorrow. There is no patriot
ism about that This is war. 1t is not
bluff. 1t is the long pull, the strong
pull and the pull ali together No man
has right to turn over his money for
one day merely to help swell the total.
That is not q help. It is hindrance
1t makes the government think it has
resources, when, in fact, it cannot
count on them. You must lend your
money for the life Of the bond, and if
untoward circumstances force you to
realize, go to the properly designated
agents and not to the little huckster
who is an agent in disguise for the
Kaiser.
Second: Investing in Liberty Loan
bonds is laying aside money for the
future. 1t may be the beginning of the
fund against those days of white hair
and creaking joints that not the best of
US can keep from coming
John d. Rockefeller has said the first
$1,000 is the hardest to get. John d.
is the wcalthiest man in America:
probably the wealthiest in the world
His words arc pure gold for the man
who would lay by fund for the future.
United States Liberty Loan bonds

in one Of the Allied countries
it is found there is as much
work done to prevent people from in
scsting in the loan as there is to show
them the advantage Of subscription
Why is this? Is it because the failure
OF national war loan would be .
victory for the Kaiser? The Kaiser's
agents arc the men--and women-who
try to make the Allied war loans fail
Are you listening to the Kaiser's
voice?
In her last loan, that ended Decem-
Der 16, France found her only opponent
was the Kaiser's voice. For month.
the story had been industriously
spread that the French people were
tired Of the war, that they were ready
to give in and stop fighting, regardless
Of who overran their land, if they
could only have the peace Of which
they were 80 much in need. The whole
idea Of that story originated in Ger
many.
France and Italy are the two easiest
countries for Germany to reach. She
can go right through Switzerland to
either one Of them, and she does it
constantly. There is a steady stream
Of German propaganda through Switz-
erland into France. The French gov
ernment understands this thoroughly.
but there are no more persistent
workers in the world than the Ger
mans, and before one leak through
Switzerland into France is stopped an
other is in process Of formation
Loan Subscriptions
Show Spirit of Nation
So the French government and the
French people are fighting constantly
against this insidious German propa-
ganda that reaches them through
Switzerland. The French government
would be powerless in this fight if it
did not have the people behind it. But
with the aid of the people it wins. And
how we'll the French people stand be-
mind their government in this great
war was we'll shown in the last French
war loan, when they oversubscribed the
demands of the government.
For the last French loan the gov
ernment asked ten billion francs. They
expected to get something like eight
billion francs from continental France
and make up the balance from the
colonies and foreign subscriptions
But they got more than ten and a
quarter billions from continental
France alone. In other words, France
oversubscribed nearly 80 per cent.
After nearly forty months of war
France oversubscribed her third war
loan 30 per cent in the face of the
greatest "defeatist" propaganda the
world has ever seen.
Can America equal that record?
Yes, but We have got to prove it.
In the sixth month Of our part in the
war we oversubscribed our second Lib
erty Loan 56 per cent.
A great record. But think Of the
difference between six months and
forty months OF war.
We have not proved ourselves yet.
1t is still to be done.
A fine opportunity will offer in the
next Liberty Loan campaign, when we
will have to combat once more the
kaiser's voice.
There are many tones in which |
this voice makes itself heard, but it
is the low spoken, insidious argu-
ment that is hardest to combat, the
argument that appeals to ones ac-
quisitiveness.

Canvassers. Of Over
A Million Workers

This committee will direc. the active
canvassing of 100000 trade workers.
Each of the divisions will be headed
by committee composed of profess
sional or bu,iness men. all leaders in
their own particular fields. The chair
men of these committees have already
been appointed by Governor Benjamin
Strong of the Second Federal Reserve
District Bank. They will select 1000
coworkers to be associated with them
IN the campaign. During the four
weeks drive each committeeman will
obtain leave CT absence from his firm
his entire time to the service Of the
Liberty Loan.
A picked corps of 140 bond statesmen
known as bond advisers, will act as
storm troops in the campaign. They
will make series of whirlwnd tours
of the city, accompanied by delegates
from the speakers bureau. After the
speakers have outlined the genera,
purpose of the loan, the bond men as
specialists will explain knotty prob
lens that may arise. They will also

PARIS, March 4.--The arrest Of the
actress, Sumey Depsy, who has played
a minor role at Sarah Bernhardt's 8
theatre, on charges Of maintaining re-
lations with the enemy, has caused q
sensation, because Of the important
connections Of her alleged accomplices.
enberg, who was prominent on the
Paris Bourse and whose Paris bank is
under sequestration, fled to Switzer-
land at the opening OF hostilities. He
organized bank and information bu-
reau at Zurich in association with an
other Austrian named Bettelheim, &C.
cording to the Matin.
The newspaper says Matthias Err
berger. e member of the German
Feichstag, had a large account with
the firm and drew heavily on 1t to
carry on a propaganda in Switzerland.
Another Of the accused, Louis Bor-
der OF Paris. formerly director Of the
Casino at Lugano, was followed into
Switzerland by French detectives to
the doors OF Rosenberg's establish
ment in Zurich, the Matin declares.

ROOSEVELT DEAF
IN HIS LEFT EAR,
QUITS HOSPITAL
The Colonel Is Determined to
Fill Speaking Engagements,
However.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The condt'
ton Of Col Theodore Roosevelt who
for some time has been a patient at
Roosevelt hospital. has progressed 90
favorably that the former president
today left the hospital to take up quar-
ters in a local hotel. Here, it is OK,
pected, he will remain for several
days under the observation OF his
physician, and If his convalescenca
continues as 1t has for the last week
he will 60 to his home in Oyster Bay
In the announcement made at the
hospital today concerning Col. Roose
yelt's condition the fear was expressed
that he may be permanently deaf II,
his left ear as a result OF the opera
tion he has undergone. His physicians
added that It will be necessary for Col.
Roosevelt to rest as much as possible
for a fortnight In order that he may
recover fully. &C.
viii Speak in Maine
Col. Roosevelt has expressed his
determination to I'LL speaking engage
ments In Maine on March %, and his
physicians say they believe he will be
able to do 80. providing he exercises
due caution.
The physicians bulletin issueH to-
day says:
"For the last four years Col Roose-
welt has Internationally suffered from
tho after effects OF his Brazilian ex.
ploration. ;. This acute attack
has given US the opportunity to re-
move the cause, probably completely,
and we believe from the rapidity with
which the incision has healed that ne
is In an unusually vigorous condition
and that he will speedily be In even
better shape than before.
Riaht Ear to ee o. K.
While he was being treated, but
not IN connection with this condition,
he developed an acute infection OF
both middle ears. which necessitated
an incision Of both drum membranes.
The right ear recovered, and in few
weeks the hearing In this ear will be
as good as ever
Subsequently the infection
spread to the internal ear on the left
side, temporarily and probably perma.
nently destroying all hearing func-
tions It also has destroyed the static
functions in this ear. and some months
will pass before the compensation for
the loss of this function completely
takes place.
TN other words, It will be some
months before he will recover com.
plete control Of equilibrium. or before
he will cease to find himself dizzy at
a quick or unexpected motion. In
consequence, during these months he
must be cautious about his activities" ;"

FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS

All the world knows by this time
that all the Allies, and France and
Italy in particular, have, besides all
the great, tragic problems pertaining
to the war, directly or indirectly,
many other horrible cares.
One fthese is the great number
consumptives that come back from
Austria as exchanged prisoners
AT first, nothing much was done, as
each case was considered as individ-
ual and rather exceptional, especially
as the percentage of tuberculosis in
Italy had hitherto been, low Now the
problem is being dealt with in a thor
ough fashion, and a recent Govern
ment decree orders:
l. That during the war and for
three years afterwards, the State will
contribute to the support and care of
INDECENT tuberculosis soldiers.
q That all sanatoria be called upon
to receive tuberculosis soldiers.
g. That where no sanatoria or spe-
cial hospital sections are available,
all institutions for the care of the
sick and invalids be ordered to or
ganize special sections for tubercul-
Gus soldiers.
