Gets Big Impetus In Town Hall Meeting Saturday Evening Edwin F. Sweet Explains Why Bond Buying Is Neces- siy-F. S Stranehan Urges Doubling Previous Number of Subscriptions

Al zeal their perfdy by talk of peace patching, must no longer be tolerated.
 aTo the women of America | would say, remember your sisters of Belgium, northern France, Polanu anu .Afme- nia. Use your influence with your husbands, fathers and brothers to make generous subscriptions for the Liberty loan. Show them that the of this loan wilFI have a splendid moral effect upon our forces in France and the armies fight ing with them, and that it will prove to the Germans that their leaders are telling them falsehoods when they say we lack spirit and determination.
 "No one knows when the war will end. Everyone who is not blinded with passion knows how it will end. Teutonic successes in Russia, in Italy or even on the western front will pro- long the war; they will not win it. The idea of world domination by a single race, or nation, or group of na- tions must perish
 E. s. Stranahan, of Providence, chairman of the speakers bureau for Rhode Island, followed Mr. Sweet. lie told of the campaign being conducted his department of the work, and aroused much applause when he said: We must double the number of subscribers to the previous Liberty loan and flash the news to the kaiser that the country is united!"
