CALLS UPON THE NAVY
TO JUMP INTO THE LOAN
Admiral Sims Fighting Message to
the Boys Being Flashed to Every
q. S. Ship and Station.

With the American Nays subscrip-
ton to the fourth loan at considerably
more than s10.00o.0oo. Secretary Dan
iels and Vice Admiral Sims, command
ing the overseas fleet. are urging an
even greater response to the nations
call.
In a message which is being flashed
by Secretary Daniels to every Amer
lean ship and naval station, Vice Ad'
miral Sims called upon the Navy te
Jump into the fourth loan.
The message follows:
sThe liberty loan campaign is the
military offensive Of our people. ThelI
material support and will to victory
are the very lfe-blood of the armed
forces. Their contribution is the ex-
preston of this will. The Nays cont
dence in this support sustains its fight
ing edge.
The peoples confidence in the Navy
inspires us to offer the highest devo-
tion-even the supreme sacrifice.
Let US also show, as service. thai
our resources will be as freely offered
In putting this loan over the top L
of democracy to rid the world OF law
lessness and piracy"
The Secretary'S message was:
This fighting message from Admira
Sims will inspire reply from the
Navy-a response in terms of subscrip'
tons to liberty bonds which will show
how much the Navy as a whole sup
ports the men and the ships now ven.
turing everything to make the seas
safe.
''The call of the man who leads our
forces into the danger zones is a clear
call which will stir every Navy man."
The epidemic of influenza has put
big handicap on efforts of navy yards
and camps to repeat their successes OF
the last loan. In such places as Bos.
ton. where it is impossible to gel
groups of men together. shedding has
been particularly hard. Despite the
necessary delay and slowness. sub.
scriptions are already mounting up and
valiant efforts are being made to over.
coma the obstacles.

That every measure known to medi-

when DR.. Mustard said that soda

their glasses or use paper ones.
II have sent notices to the soda dis
penserS and all public places directing
them to put in operation at once some
approved sterilizer to properly cleanse
their drinking glasses or else put in

places. I shall absolutely close them.
In this I will have the backing of the
public health service and DR.. Fowler,
the District health officer. Similar ac-
ton will be taken in connection with
the restaurants and public eating
places"
Failure Of the general public pa
tronizing Washington street car lines
to comply with the efforts Of the
arrangements to keep the windows of
their cars open in compliance with
the request of the District Commits
sioners is expected to result in the
health authorities requesting the lines
to take out of service all closed cars
and operate in their stead all the open
or summer cars. DR.. Mustard said this
, matter was under consideration and
would probably be put up to the street
railway arrangements today.
W. F. Ham, president Of the W.
R & E. Co. yesterday during the
rush hour Of the morning went to
the Union station to see to what ex-
tent the order to keep the car win
dows open was being observed. He
found that while all the cars leaving
the barns had every window raised
when they reached the Union station
every window in the cars had been
closed. The conductors explained
that the windows had been closed by
passengOfD and the conductor had NO
authority to stop them.
