ARE LOYAL
 BUY LIBERTY BONDS

There are about 350,000 Greeks i'll the United States. Although most of them are small shop-keep- CTS. confectioners, and fruit dealers. they have made generous contrihu- tiCns to the Government war funds. Tteir subscriptions to the Fourt Lib erty Loan already mount into the n,ilrions and will probably exceed what they have invested in previous loans. For the Third loan they have record of $6,S3S,7O0. and their to- tal contribution in the first three campaigns is estimated at $16,O00.- 000
 The notable fact about these Greek subscriptions is that they have come in small amountsa Of the 22,oCo Greeks who have bought Liberty Bonds, only 15 subscribed for bonds of $1O,0O0 or over. The payments which they made came out of their small savings and represented sacrl- flee.
 Serving in our army now are more tran 60,O00 soldiers of Greek birth oc parentage. When the treaty with Greece goes into effect, 10000 more will be added to the potential sup ply of troops. Although most oi these men have been in America only a short time, they understand thai her cause is the same as that o1 Greece and are satisfied to takt their place in the ranks of the Uni ted States Army.

Liberty Loan
 Is Half Way
 Over the Top
However, Reports From Liberty Day Subscrip-
 tions Not Received.

Washington, Oct. 12.-Liberty Day celebrations today brought uncounted millions to the credit of the nations six billion dollar war loan, altho mea- gre official reports available tonight added only $77 100000, making the known total to date $2,346,0 100000.
 Two thirds of the campaign is gone and less than half the task is per- formed.
 In the remaining week the seven days ending next Saturday night $3,- 7O0,000,000 must be pledged by per- sons who have not yet bought or who can buy more.
 More than half billion dollars a day is the rate that must be main- tained.
 Official figures came tonight only from the New York and Chicago fed eral reserve districts, showing about $5O,OOO,0O and $27, ,000,0 ,0O0 respective ly additional subscriptions, not includ- ing today's business.
 These brought the New York dis trict's total to $562 .275, ,150 and the Chicago district to $404, ,454,O0O.
 Reports from all districts told of intense interest in the Liberty Day celebration.
 Exercises were held by virtually ev- cry school and patriotic organization in the country.
 In addition to the parades and oth- CT displays unusually active sales campaigning was done.
 Almost every bank in the country remained open until late tonight to take subscriptions.
 At the close of business Oct. 10, railroad employees of the Southwest ern ergion had purchased $13,957 ,92O worth of fourth Liberty loan bonds.

of the bill would assume direction of the railroads and would use the staffs and material over all the country in- discriminatory as one system.
 The measure would be only tenn porary one and would not bind the fu- ture payment of interest to share holders. The payments would contin- ue under the same conditions as here tofore and the stockholders would receive remuneration equivalent to the average dividends paid in the years 1915, 1916 and 1917.

 tThe American people can provide the money if they are fully aroused to the imperative necessity ot dolng so.
 .Without the six billion dollars re- quired for the Fourth Liberty loan: the great victories of our soldiers in France will be negativated.
 The home army must not turn the victories of the field army into de- feats.

 sWill you not issue a proclamation to the people of your state appealing to them to subscribe immediately to the limit of their ability to the fourth Liberty loan.

were only two dugouts, and these were
used by Lewis and Vickers machine
gunners, so it was the fire step for
ours. Pretty soon it started to rain.
We put on our "macks," but they were
not much protection. The rain trickled
down our backs, and it was not long
before we were wet and cold. How l
passed that night I will never know,
but without any unusual occurrence,
dawn arrived.
The word "stand down" was passed
along the line, and the sentries got
down off the fire step. Pretty soon the
rum issue came along, and it was
Godsend. 1t warmed our chilled bodies
and put new life into US. Then from
the communication trenches came
dixies or iron pots, filed with steam
ing tea, which had two wooden stakes
through their handles, and were car
ried by two men. I filed my canteen
and drank the hot tea without taking
it from my lips. 1t was not long be-
fore I was asleep in the mud on the
fire step.

Once, out in front Of our wire, I

and was taking aim to fire, when my
mate grasped my arm, and whispered,
''Don't fire." He challenged in low
voice. The reply came back instantly
from the dark forms:
"Shut your blinkin' mouth, you
bloomin' idiot; do you want US to click
it from the Boches"
Later we learned that the word, mo
