he feels that he can no longer be what
he has from the first day of his ac-
cessiOn believed himself to be, namely.
an instrument from God, and above
all the head of the most brilliant and
best organized army in the world.
What is Wilhelm l if he can no longer

the loss OF AlsaCe- Lorraine. We know
that Alsace- Lorraine will be no longer

in Full.

Germany's reply 20 the Presidents
note of inquiry has in no way di-
minishcd the vital Importance of
the liberty loan. President Wilson
warned the people of America, in
q statement issued at the White
House last night, urging the ma
ton to subscribe to the utmost of
its ability during the next five days.
President Wilson declared that the
threatened undersubscription of the
loan gravely endangered the vic
tory that now seemed in sight. He
asked the people of the nation to
carry the loan through, pointing
out that it was the duty of every
patriotic American to strengthen
the government in the most eff
cient way now presented.
Five Days Only Left.
Washington still has nearly half
her quota to raise. with five days
left until the drive closes. This
means that every effort must be
put forward by patriotic citizens
of the District to enable the city
to answer the Presidents call.
The District Loan Committee is
confident that the local quota will
be subscribed-that the District OF
Columbia will go over the top fol
