Appeals Sent by Wire.
Mrs. William G.. McAdoo and William
Allen White were among those who sent
appeals, by wire to the loan organ zation
here urging the Importance of making
the issue an overwhelming success. From
California Mrs. McAdoo telegraphed
Mrs. John T. Pratt, Chairman of the
Womens Committee Of the Second Re
serve District:
THE women Of the United States felt
year ago that no money price was too
high for the winning of a victorious
peace. The Government Of the United
States is now asking us to help raise
the four and a half billion dollar sub
scription that totals the Victory Loan.
Can we do less than our best to pay the
price Of peace?
William Allen White cabled from
Paris where he is acting as correspon-
dent for a newspaper syndicate after
having served during 1917 as observer
at the front for the American Red Cross,
in which capacity he had ample oppor-
tunity for observing the economic con-
dition of Europe. Mr.. Whites cable
reads in part as follows
Here In Europe starving people, Idle
workmen and broken cities are watch
ing the loan. For it means life or death
to them. They know this II we do not.
with our help Europe will rise. The
money we have lent and shall lend Is
protected by perfectly good security.
Europe is a going concern which needs
only temporary relief. Given three good
crops her todd situation will be normal.
Given machinery for her wrecked indus
| tries and credits to start the wheels
Europe will be functioning again as the
worlds best financial risk There can be
no doubt as TO the soundness of our In
| vestment-if we make 1t sound But
II we fall TO make this last investment
in civilization all that we have given In
blood and treasure is lost
