Fast Pace Is Set
By the East Side
In Buying Bonds
Radicals, Hating Autoc-
racy, Turn In Their
War Dollars
Hebrew Trades to Aid
100000 Members Start Drive
With Big Rally
Tonight

The East Side promises to set new
pace in the sale OF Liberty bonds this
month. Surprised out of the lethargy
of pacifism by the kaiscr's treachery
and The dangers menacng the new
born freedom Of Russia, the East Side
has girded it's loins and plunged right
into the support of the third Liberty
Loan with all its wonted ardor of i'm
petuous enthusiasm.
Gone is the Indifference which dis
tingulshed the East Broadway radicals
during the two previous loans. All
flock eagerly now to turn their hate of
German autocracy into avenging bonds.
Nearly $4,000 was collected in less
than three quarters of an hour yester-
day in the two booths outside of the
United States Bank, at II Delaney
Street.
Says East Side Is Loya!
Samuel c. Lamport, The vice-chair-
man of the East Side Liberty Loan
Committee. in sketching the reaction
IN the district toward Americas third
appeal for war dollars, said yesterday:
Nowhere is the fcrvor and feeling
Of sincere earnest interest in the
third Liberty Loan more genuinely in
tense than among the people of the
East Side,' said Mr. Lamport.
= East Siders are quick thinkers; they
have not been slow to realize that this
struggle is a death grapple between
autocratic military domination of the
civilized world on the one hand, and
the maintenance of the rights of op-
pressed peoples. The survival and the
very life OF free untrammelled democ-
racy on the other hand
The population of the East Side is
largely recruited from among peoples
who have experienced the heart break
ing, soul-destroying strain of living
under autocratic despotic govern
ments. and emigratcd to this land of
freedom in order 70 escape these hor-
rors of iniqutous government
They are grateful to the Stars and
Stripes for the greatest treasure that
can be counted human possession
liberty.
They deeply appreciate the great
boon OF equality of opportunity and
the law; they are jealous and enthu-
Siastic N the manifestation of their
gratitude for the proud privilege of
being an integral part OF our govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people
