OSBORN WILL MAKE
WHITMAN THE ISSUE
Says Governor Has No Con-
sfrucfiVe War Programme.

Speaking to a committee Of Democrats
from The Bronx who called on him at
hls headquarters in the Hotel Manhattan
yesterday. William Church Osborn ex-
planned why he was opposing Alfred e.
Smith tor the Democratic nomination for
Governor. He. also attacked Gov. Whit
man. saying that the issue now was how
to beat Whitman. Mr.. Osborn said he
intended to outline q constructive war
programme for the State, something Gov.
Whitman with his political ambitions
had been too busy to formulate.
II am not making fight on the or
sanixation," declared Mr. Osborn. 81 do
say that It Is only fair that the Demo-
cratic organization OF the State. Of which
am State committeeman, should rec
ognize that two candidates. Alfred z.
Smith and myself. be placed before the
public on primary day and that the
voters Of the State be allowed to choose
which shall be the Democratic standard
bearer. The only chance to open things
up In the Democratic party lies in the
primary law
II want the Democrats Of New York
otato " VIII at ZIG NstNenDST pouo, TOT
believe the people Ut New. York State
want Democratic Governor who will
attend to the democratic work Of this
State rather than to an ambition to oc-
cupy the White House.
The issue at the conference was how
to beat Hearst the issue now Is how to
beat Whitman. Mr.. whitman can be
beaten and the people Of the Democratic
party should have a full opportunity to
do 20. The people know the real situa-
ton better than the bosses and they
therefore can choose better the candidate
they want to lead them.
In my campaign l am not going to
stop at merely organization and primary
issues, hut will present "A constructive
programme of war EFFORT for the State.
Gov Whitman has been so busy with
politics that he has not been able to give
his mind and time to marshalling tho re-
sources of the State for maximum and
efficient war service. II he thought more
of the State and less Of Whitman the
State would have made some progress in
reducing the cost Of food to the people of
the city Of New York. and he would have
handled the harbor problem 30 a. to give
people coal when they needed It. Food
and fuel grow scarcer and higher all the
time: to reduce their cost Is q direct
problem Of the war"

3 LOAN DRIVES
FOR is BILLIONS
Treasury Officials Tentatively
Decide on Programme
for One Year.
WANT FEW CAMPAIGNS
Number May Be Limited to
Only. Two-Allies Ask
for Less Money.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Tentative
plans Of the Treasury provide for three
big Liberty Loan campaigns within the
next year, each to raise $4,000. 900, 900
o. more, II was learned to-day. The
f,rst will be from September 2s to c.
tober 10, as has been announced. the
second is planned for January or Feb
ruary and tho third in May or June.
This programme will be necessary, II
Is explained, ,to provide the $4,000 .0oo,-
600 which officials estimate will be re-
qlured to hnance war operations during
the year, in addition to the $s,000.Ooo.-
000 which may be provided by the new
revenue bill now being drafted.
II Government expenses and loans TO
Allies fall much below the $4,000. 000.-
900 estimate, the Government is ex-
pected to try TO combine two loans into
one big campaign fo- the largest credit
ever sought by any nation. Such a cam
paisn would be set for some time In the
late winter.
Money needs between loan periods will
be financed by the sale of short term
certificates of indebtedness as in the
past. In addition. the Treasury looks
for. "a steady inflow Of money from the
certificates which banks and corporations
probably will buy in billion dollar guam
titles as a means OF virtually paying
their taxes in advance.
Every effort will be made by the
Treasury to make, the number of loans
as few and the time OF financial rest
between the campaigns as long as posi-
BILE Officials would much rather have
only one more big solicitation in addi-
ton to the fourth campaign. to start
late next month. than two before the
end OF the fiscal year next June 80.
Ono particular season in which the
Treasury wishes to avoid floating popu-
lar loans is the Christmas holidays and
the following weeks Of comparative COM
merce activity on account OF bad
weather Another bad time for loans
Is in the spring planting season, when
farmers are busy and business men hIv,
less time than usual to devote to cam
paigning. The third period to be avoided
is June, when huge war taxes will have
to be paid.
No plans for future Liberty loans car
be formulated definitely many weeks In
advance owing to the uncertainty of the
volume Of Government expenditures
Consequently the programme now in the
minds Of Treasury officials is highly
tentative. An example of the fuctua-
lions of expenditures is the fact tina,
with August more than half gone the
Allies have called for only $1,000, 0o(
loan payments. a little more than one
third the usual rate Of borrowings.

FRENCH SPIRIT HIGH,
ARRIVALS REPORT

GRATEFUL FOR SMOKES
American Officers and Red

GRATEFUL FOR SMOKES

A large French steamship arrived at
an Atlantic port last night after an un-
eventful voyage In the course Of which
only one other ship was sighted with
the exception of allied war vessels. She
carried a number OF French officers, who
have come to this country on military
missions and several returning Ameri-
can officers and Red Cross workers.
f. C. S. Bigelow of Boston. who went
to France with the first American Red
Cross contingent. returned for a brief
vacation. He wore the French Croix De
Guerre and said he received 1t for relief

godsend to them. have delivered more
than eleven tons OF THE SUN fund to-
bacco and cigarettes to our boys and
nothing was ever received with greater
thanks.
There's one thing I think ought to
he mentioned and that Is that the Ameri-
can boys don't care much for tobacco
or pipes. They ask for cigarettes almost
altogether.
Then, too. there are a lot Of people
over here who made up comfort kits last
Christmas and sent them to the boys
over there. Many Of them have not re-
ceived any thanks for those gifts and I
think it Is only fair to our boys to let
those who. sent them gifts know that
many of the Christmas comfort kits
have not been delivered as yet. The rush
Of war materials has been SO great that
some of those packages remain to be
delivered.
THE morale Of our boys Is wonderful.
They are piling into the fight in great
shape. and they go into 1t singing and
with the idea that 1t Is their Job to clean
up and get back home again. Many Of
them are homesick. but they realise that
there is work to be done FIRST and 60
about that work cheerfully."
Capt. Holt said that the corcensus
among army officers and civilians in
France Is that the last drive was the
final effort OF the Boche and that Ger
man peace terms will be offered before
Christmas. in many quarters he said
that the war is expected to be over
within another eight months.
