this patriotic movement may meet
with unqualified success.
1t is announced that the big drive
will start on Saturday, April 6, but the
committee, taking time by the forelock,
will commence operations on March
80.
In order to arouse general interest
and enthusiasm, it has been arranged
to present certain features of the war
very graphically to everyone who visits
Baltimore during the first weeks Of the
campaign. AS the result of some
months of careful planning and with
the cooperation of the Government OF
the Dominion of Canada, and of vari-
GUS Allied War Agencies in the United
States, arrangements have been made
for Liberty Loan Cantonment which
will open in the Fifth Regiment Ar
mory in Baltimore on Saturday,
March 80.
CANADIAN WAR TROPHIES.
The Canadian exhibit has been col
lected as a nucleus for permanent
war museum for the Dominion. It in
cludes many trophies which Canadian
valor captured at Ypres, Courcellette
and Vimp Ridge. Among these are
German cannon, machine guns, bomb
throwers, small arms, grenades sig
nal rockets, aeroplanes, parachutes,
body armor, intrenching tools, peri
scopes and countless other appliances
for attack and defense.
ARMY AND NAVY.
Our own Army and Navy will be
well represented by interesting exhib-
its. There will be demonstrations Of
the war work OF the American Red
Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, Y. W. C A, Knights
of Columbus. Food and Fuel Admins
trations, ETC., and other instructive dis
plays.
FAMOUS BANDS.
There will be daily concerts by some
OF the most noted bands in the Union,
including the Marine Band of Wash
ing, and Lieut.. Sousa's famous organi-
cation, the band Of the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station.
REMARKABLE NEW MOVING PIC
TURES.
There will also be exhibitions Of
thrilling moving pictures. It win be
the aim of the Committee to make
every day one of the special features.
NOTED SPEAKERS.
For example, there will be Canadian
Day, on which occasion the DominiOns
most prominent statesmen Will be
present and discuss Canada's activities
in this war.
On other days, DISTINGUISHED mem
bers Of the Diplomatic Corps repre-
senting our Allies in this country and
on still other occasions leading Amer
lean statesmen, both those who are
in office and those who already have
served their country, will be heard.
25c. LIBERTY LOAN COUPON WITH
EACH TICKET.
Admission TO the Armory car only
be had by ticket. These tickets Will
be sold at 40c. each, but Csc. Of this
will be represented by coupon which
is to be retained by the purchaser and
can be applied as a payment for that
amount on Liberty Loan. This
makes the actual price of admission
Is cents
Of course the majority of people will
buy more than one ticket, but no mat
ter what the amount of their purchase,
each coupon will stand for 25 cents
toward securing a bond; that is to say,
one hundred tickets would represent
$500 and they may be cashed in for
that amount as against the total pur-
chase money on Liberty Bond. Lesser
amounts will be computed in the same
way. For instance, a man holding two
coupons and wishing to purchase a $50
bond would bring to his bank $3.50
and his coupons, which would be taken
at their face value, or two coupons and
so cents would be taken as first pay
ment on a partial payment plan
The Committee appreciates the fact
that as a usual thing most Maryland
ers visit Baltimore in the spring; and
It feels that those in the more distant
portion Of the state should time their
spring shopping or business so that the
date Of their visit would occur during
the progress of the Exhibition. It viii
well repay the journey from every con-
ceivable standpoint.
