twenty women and three men pushed
forward through the crowd to buy
bonds.
1t was the biggest day in the history
OF the bond selling campaign at the
Liberty Theatre. From III o'clock until
$3.50 there was big crowd, attracted
by the most elaborate programme vet
given by the Stage Women.
Briggs drew his famous picture of
BLOW Yourself to Bond" on a great
easel. Victor Harris made himself the
$500 bond. Rube Goldberg and Hv
Mayer also drew cartoons for the bond
buyers.
James Montgomery Flagg offered 70

a 900 bond, and six people kent him

$3,1O9,OOO of Bonds
Sold i'm IL Minutes

Subscriptions for s3,10S,O0O worth of
Liberty bonds were received yesterday
IN seventeen minutes at Il luncheon
of the Fifth Avenue Association in Del
monico's, at which David Lawrence
Washington correspondent of "The
Evening Post" called President Wilson
the most belligerent person in the
world, who was in the war to the
finish.
In five minutes $2,O0O,O0O worth of
bonds were sold. Amelia Bingham,
Charles L. Mitchell, j. M. Giddings and
j. HoWes Burton, with Mr.. Lawrence,
eNhorted the members to buy bonds
Mr.. Lawrence, who was the guest of
honor, declared he had come TO intro
duce Mr.. Wilson, the fighter, to the as
soclation. He added that official Wash
ington had completely banished all
thought of peace by negotiations at the
present time.
"The bonds that YOU subscribe for"
Mr.. Lawrence said, "wll help this
country to make the maximum prepara-
tions for war. The people of the
United States must insist on the maxi
mum preparations. Prepare for the
worst, and the worst will not happen.
THE present big German drive has
had healthful effect on Washington.
1t has meant much for America because
it has made us realize what it would
mean to have that line broken.

now is that, no matter what may hap

Women Asked to March
In Loan Parade Friday

call to women with relatives in
the service to march in the Liberty
Loan Parade on Friday, April 26, was
issued yesterday by Mrs. John T.
Pratt, chairman of the Women's Lib
erty Loan Committee, and Mrs.

the Metropolitan Division. The ap-
peal says:
"If you have a relative in the
army or navy of the United States
you will wish to march with your
service flag in the Liberty Day
Liberty Loan Parade on Friday,
April 26. Each household which
has given a soldier or a sailor or
marine to the nation is entitled to
be represented in the parade by one
woman member. Go to your church
and communicate with the minister
or the committee he has appointed
to arrange for marchers. Rebuke
the Hun and help sell Liberty bonds

tertain you," he said. "This programme
you are going to hear would be worth
$40 seat. if you had to pay for it.
"The boys in France are dying for
you. The question is, are you worth
dying for? If you don't buy Liberty
Bonds to supply your own soldiers
with food and ammunition. then you
are not worth their sacrifice"
Lima Cavalieri, Lucian Muratore and
Helen Adler, of the Chicago Opera
company, sang patriotic songs. Nine.
Yvette Guilbert made little speech
before she sang.
For all their cheering, however, the
crowd came across with their $4,000
slowly. Henry Michaelis. of 22O Fifth
Avenue, purchased a $4,000 bond. and
the rest came in small amounts

Bonds to Replace Banquet

Helping America finance the war BY
doing without something that you nor
mally have will be a cardinal element
IN the success of the loan, according
to the campaign workers. The Nation
al Association of Manufacturers,
through its executive committee, has
decided to apply this doctrine and to
buy Liberty bonds with the money that
it usually spends for its annual ban
quet. n
On the third day of the associations
convention. which will be held at the
Waldorf Astoria on May 20, 81 and 30,
the members deprived Of the custom

of knowing that patriotic substitu-

To Date, This District Has
Subscribed 38 Per Cent
Of Its Quota

To help raise the Second Federal
Reserve District out of the rut will
be the prime purpose of the state
soldiers to-day. who will hold parades
throughout the state. The day will
be known as New York Guard Day. The
LIST Brigade. in command of Brigadier
General George r. Dyer. will march up
Fifth Avenue from Washington Square
at A:30 in the afternoon. Governor
Whitman and Adjutant General Sher-
rll will review the marchers from
the steps of the New York Public Ii
b-ary. The Governor will make
short Liberty Bond address after the
parade.
An analysis of the statistics for the
first eleven days OF the loan In this
district shows that New York City is
equally responsible with the rest of
the cities and towns for the slump. The
only consolation of a statistical nature
that the loan workers could find was
the record that in the first eleven days
of the second loan drive only $261 ,002,-
100 had been pledged.

ating expenses os more than S475,
100000 per annum. In order to meet
this increase, the public has been
called upon to pay largely increased
passenger and freight rates. The
people have accepted this new bur
den cheerfully and patriotically. The
least that every employee can do in
return is to serve the pubic eourte-
ously, faithfully and efficiently.
A great responsibility and duty
rest upon the railroad employees of
the United States. Upon their 10y
atty, efficiency and patriotism de-
pends in large part Americas sue
cess and the overthrow Of the Kaiser
and all he represents. Let US not
fail to measure up to our duty, and
to the Just demand Of the public that
railroad service shall not oily be eff
ficient, but that it shall always be
courteously administered.

Director General of Railroads.

tired to quiet corners to write letters
home Still others had paired off at
checkers or chess And as the days
passed the service to the men was ex-
tended and increased.
These boys, who had been more
than busy, were nightly hungry to
read, now that hours of leisure and
confinement were upon them. The
''Y" had had three cases of books,
some FIVE hundred, with which to full
fill this demand. The commanding of
ficer detailed two enlisted men who
had had some experience in library
work to asst the Red Triangle work
er. They took full charge of the
books, keeping the records and see-
ing to it that the copies came back on
time.
Adventure stores, boys books, and
solid fact books, outdrew in popu-
larity the sugary novels of love that
are rated among the best sellers by
American bookmen. These books
had been gathered by the American
Library Association and others, and
if the people at home who have given
books from their ibrares could have
seen these boys in khaki eagerly
leaning over their books, could have
seen them passed from hand to hand,
serving scores of men, they would
have felt well repaid for their sacri-
flee. And they would have been in
spired to sacrifice more books.
Besides the books, the Red Tri-
angle had supplied French lesson
sheets for free distribution. These
were passed and all with studious
inclinations set to pick up few
words Of French. Besides paper and
envelopes there were return cards for
each boy to fill out and announce his
safe arrival in France.
The "Y" man was an athletic di-
rector and at every possible oppor-
tunity would start simple games
among the soldiers. Hand wrestling,
three-legged potato and human wheel
barrow races, combined with the
many stunts which an experienced
worker can contrive went far to
maintain the health the happiness
and the morale of tne soldiers. Dull
nome nts simply vanished.

Merchants To Meet

Considerable interest is being
shown in the forthcoming meeting of
the retail merchants of the state al
Alexandria on Tuesday, Aug. 27.
It is generally conceded that the
need of organization among the retail
merchants is greater today than it
has ever been. This was demon
started by the recent legislative act

This measure wouldn't have been i'm.
posed on the merchants had a state
wide organization, such as is pro
posed, been in existance to look after
their interest, especially in matters
of this kind, where legislative acts
for and against their welfare, can be
looked after by central body.
The first meeting Of the retail mer
chants held in Alexandria was fos
tered by the New Orleans Retail Gro
GERS Association and was intended
to interest the grocers only-but the
interest manifested by merchants of
all classes who attended was so great
and the possibilitie Of the proposed
organization of such vast Importance
to every dealer that it was decided
TO form a temporary organization
and issue a call for another meeting
for August 27, at which 1t is expect
ed to perfect permanent organiza-
ton.
The objects OF the proposed organ
ization in brief are threefold: To
organize for protective legislation
to adopt by conference uniform rules
and regulations looking towards a
betterment of trade conditions; to
consolidate all retail forces and act
co-ordinately on vital questions.
An organization committee consist
ing of some of the prominent mer-
chants in attendance at the first meet
ing, as well as the secretaries Of the
various associations of commerce of
the state, have been actively at work
circularizing the retail dealers and
already sufficient replies have been
received, which indicates a large and
meeting at Alexandria
on the 9th.

"What do we do now, Dick?"
"Darned if l know, Harry"
eve got to do something, but how
and where, and with what, Tom?" :
Tom, Dick and Harry were typical
Americans, typical soldiers, aboard a
typical troop ship, bound for cover
There" Leaving the rush of civilian
life they had entered the even more
active life Of the army. Days had
been full of new sensations, new ex-
periences, Of work and drill, study
and wholesome play in the training
camps in America. Then, with the
Hun battering the Allied line on the
Western Front, they, with many
others, bad been hurriedly placed
aboard ship.
Space aboard ship is necessarily
limited. There is no room for drill,
no facilities for the ordinary activ-
tiles Of camp life which keep the
bodies and minds of men occupied,
and mould them into better men and
soldiers. Mess calls, boat drills and
guard duty fill some time; but not an
entire day.
Then there appeared among Tom,
Dick and Harry and the others chap
with pair of boxing gloves under
one arm, and bundle of stationery
and checker boards under the other.
He wore the khaki Of the army, with
the Red Triangle of the Overseas Y.
M. C. A. on his right arm.
'Find Hickey" came from the
artillerymen. "He's fighter. l bet
he can lick anything that machine
gun bunch can show. Oh, you ma
chine gunners, bring out the best
you've got!"
A boxing bout was soon under way
in a cleared space on the deck, with
the others packed thickly about,
hanging from every point of vantage.
Homesickness and ennui had been
banished, dissatisfaction and restless
ness had fed. Merry gibes and hap
py cheers rang out as the two-round
bout came to happy and harmless
conclusion. This bout over, another
pair donned the gloves, and another
and another. So the time passed
from the early dinner until dark,
hours that otherwise would have been
very long.
Other men had taken the station
ery offered by the "Y" man and re-
