ton between the Latn-American re-
publics and the United States.

tries: Samuel Gompers, president of

tance of the city of Paris. Never were
the liberties of the world in such peril
as at that time. But as soon as we
transformed those Liberty bonds into
aghting Americans on the front and
INTO munitions and supplies those fight
ing men needed, We began to make
cents IN the German circle, and now
we are pushing it eastward toward
neriln, instead of the Germans pushing
~ eastward toward Paris. I said in
the Third Liberty Loan campaign that
VIC would push that circle eastward as
soon as America could get her strength
upon the battlefront until its peri
metre included Berlin. eW are doing
1t. Americas soldiers have answered
the Kaiser. With American bayonets
they have already written upon the
SOIL OF Germany this notice to the
Kaiser: The jig's up If our home
army fails to put the fourth Liberty
Loan over it will be notice to the
Kaiser that the jig is not up.
All America recognizes the patriotic
duty of supporting our soldiers in the
field and of helping them fight until a
conclusive victory is won: but patriot
ism is Of little value if it is possessed
only with the lips and is not backed up
by actual deeds. We must do the neces-
sary things at home just as our SOL
diers must do the necessary things or
the battlefield"
Appeals to Governors
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Mr. McAdoo
telegraphed the following appeal to the
Governor of every state in the Union
tonight:
Zone week of the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign remains. and three
and half billion dollars have yet
to be raised. The American people
can provide this money if they are
fully aroused to the imperative ne
cessity of doing so. Without the
Fourth Liberty Loan the great vic
tories of our soldiers in france will
be negatived. The home army must
not turn the victories of the field
army into defeats. The home army
must not render valueless the bloody
sacrifices of our heroes. The home
army must, on the other hand, trans
form the victories of the field army
into the final and mighty blow which
will forever destroy military des-
potism and its menace to the liber-
ties of the world.
"Will you not issue proclama-
ton to the people of your state ap-
peallng to them to subscribe imme-
dately to the limit of their ability
to the Fourth Liberty Loan? Ask
the rich and poor alike to buy Lib
erty bonds on the installment plan
where they cannot pay cash for them
and urge the banks and bankers Of
your state to carry purchasers of
bonds on the instalment plan at the
same rate of interest that the bonds
bear. namely, Az per cent.
"The banks must help the people
by lending them money to buy Lib
erty bonds and the people must help
the banks by subscribing for them
and paying for them as promptly as
possible. We must all help each
other if our army is to make certain
that the great victory now in sight is
clinched."
