know what this cost was. In this
connection Mr.. Lasatcr read q letter

Washington, Feb. S.-The police
tonight are convinced that unless

CLEAR THE TRACKS FOR
| VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN

Now comes the call to all patriotic
citizens to clear the track for action
preparatory to the event Of the new
Victory loan, by removing from their
property all old posters OF other
patriotic "drives'' and campaigns"
which have, served their purpose. y
I -zAc y.x. y ~ -eEscyta,es-., s5sa,.,Aas :
ers Of past activities 80 there VIM
be nothing to interfere with the direct
ness OF the appeal to be made Tor
the new loan. Thousands OF old pos
tiers used in various campaigns In the
past three months are still visible. tat
windows and on fences throughout the
country. Now is tho time to get rid
OF the cid and make way for the new.
Many Of the old posters still up con-
tain appeals made by the United War
Work campaign, which represented
the Y. NJ. C. A., Y. w. G. A.. Knights
Of Columbus, Jewish Welfare league.
War Camp Community service,
Liberty association. and the
Salvation Army. There is no question
that these organizations will be glad
to have their old posters removed in
order that the appeal OF the next loan
may have a clear track. A few OF
these old posters were to be seen on
commercial billboards, though these
were removed as soon as the cam
paign was over and the space used
for other advertising. There are,
however, thousands of posters scat
tered in various places, and 1t Is the
desire of the war loan organization
that property owners cooperate In
removing these as quickly as possible.
Within a short time the posters for
the new loan will be issued and be
ready for distribution.
