Washington.-The women of Wash
ington are hard at. the preliminary
work necessary to complete arrange
ments for the Victory loan drive and
for putting it through to a successful
end in the District of Columbia.
The wife Of the president Of the
United States has consented to serve
as honorary chairman of the Wash |
ington Woman's Liberty Loan commit.
tee. Mrs. Wesley NJ. Stoner will be
the active chairman, and under her |
direction dozens OF meetings Of the
women of the district already have
been held with view to arousing
warm enthusiasm and to the forming
of plans for that simplicity of ergan-
ization which will make for the most
| effective work.
| Mrs. Charles w. Hamln, wife of a
member of the federal reserve board,
and Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale, daugh-
ter of James G. Blaine, are honorary
chairmen Of two Of the greater district
committees charged with the work of
expediting preparations for the loan
and for making the campaign sue
cess.
1t was feared by some Of the women
In Washington that the enthusiasm In
connection with war loan drives might
be on the wane because so much en-
ergy was expended during previous
campaigns. Such fears have proved
to be without foundation. All the
women's clubs Of the District. Of CO.
iumba have responded splendidly to
the appeals of Mrs. Stoner.
Women's Clubs All Helping.
Every club of women in the District
Of Columbia has named chairman
who will conduct the loan activities
Of the club in connection with the
work Of the greater district commit
, tee. Every woman's club in the city
. Of Washington and every organization
I Of whatever kind with which women
are connected is hopeful that 1t will
} Guido all other clubs in effort and In
} results. Where there Is such rivalry
as this In a good cause, results of Q
high order always have been obtained
The women can be trusted to propose
e and to put into effect novel and attrac
tive means for arOusing the interest OF
:. their sisters and to find the readies
! patriotic place to put money is in thu
i strong boxes Of Uncle Sam who will
e pay interest thereon and give assur
I ance that the treasure Is safer thar
8 any other strong box Of the country.
I In the Liberty loan drives Of tn
+ past in Washington the women CAV
:. the citizens Of the city something t
II think about For a considerable tim
parts of the capital looked as If
u patriotic carnival were in progress
The strong point about this endeavo
- Of the women to raise funds for Uncl
Sam has been that they have neve
{. for one moment allowed any person
p think that he or she was being begge
B. for contribution. The fact that tn
purchase of Liberty loan bonds was
good investment always was impress
ed upon the people, but with 1t theI
was always the companion statemer
that a duty was involved, not only
Z duty in broader sense to the countr
\ but a duty to the fathers, sons an
j brothers who had gone across the sc
to bear the burden Of the fighting.
"a Novelties to Be Expected.
