LOAN TO BLOCK BIG HUN PLOT
 OF BLACKMAIL
Teutons Intend to Leave Detruction in Wake of
 Retreat.

"The Huns are attempting titanic blackmail against France" writes William Philip Simms, war corres- pondent, in a despatch from the bat tlefeld in northern France to the Liberty Loan Committee of the Sec ond Federal Reserve District, emphasizing, the vital necessity of the American people oversubscribing the Fourth Liberty Loan.
 "Oficers recently taken prisoner de- clare it is the Germans intention to rage northern France as completely as they did the section over which they retreated from the Somme," MT. Simms continues. They intimate that General Ludendorff plans to make the country such complete desert that the advancing Allies will be unable to live in it.
 "But the most sinister purpose be- lieNed to be behind the threat is the hope to create in France a sentiment favoring stoppage of the war, as a means of saving the historic cities and towns of France and Belgium from sacking, burning and dynamiting.
 'The slow mines now wrecking Cambrai have sent wave Of rage, instead of fear, throughout France. The Germans have made another bIunder in the psychology of the French people. Had the French or their Allies ever entertained the slightest idea of holding out to Ger many any peace proposition, not the slightest vestige of any such idea re- mains.
 ''The Temps asks what will be the fate of Lille and Valenciennes. It says the public is beginning to won der why it is necessary that retalia- tory chastisement of the enemy shall l be withheld.
 "'We have to thank God for the fact the necessary weapons are now in our hands to make the Germans feel our anger the newspaper says. Let them be employed at the earliest | possible moment"
