of the people of the District to the fact

Rev. DR.. Abram Simon appealed for a
record-breaking subscription to the loan.
He pointed out that American soldiers in
the trenches are trudging through rain,
mud and blood, in order to protect their
country. and that the smallest thing
those left at home can do is to buy lib
erty bonds. which means merely lending
their money to the governmnt for their
own protection.
