E Epidemic of Influenza Serves
as Bar to Further Direct
Solicitation.
UP TO EACH INDIVIDUAL
TO HELP AVERT SHAME
Goal Cannot Be Reached Unless
Subscriptions Are Sent In
Voluntarily.

As it stands today Washington is
in danger of failing on its quota for
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
With all its resources already
overtaxed by the great army of war
workers, the plans for a three
week campaign have had to be
abandoned because of the epidemic
of influenza.
With two-thirds of the time gone
and only one-half of its quota made,
the District seems to be facing de-
feat.
But the fighting capital of this
fighting nation wants it understood
that it has only begun to fight.
1t does not intend to let disease,
the bad effect of good war news,
German peace tricks, nor anything
else prevent it from having its right
full place at the head of the honor
roll of these United States.
Washington is game!
1t is the beating heart of militant
America, and its citizens are lining
up to fight untowrd circumstance
just as our boys are breaking through
the gas and barbed wire of the
German trenches.
In the interest of the common
good there can be no more meet
ings nor 'parades nor canvassing.
It's up to individual initiative and
personal loyalty.
Let's show what we can do!

Seventy three deaths from influenza,
the highest number recorded in any
twenty-four-hour period since the

new cases reported yesterday and
1.722 the preceding day. The total

latlon requiring the heating of apart
ment houses and other living abodes
the Commissioners today continued to
use every drastic means recommended

Federal and local authorities will
not hazard a prediction as to how long
it will take the epidemic to wear it,

sidered a violation of this order.
