 NEW YORK, April 5.-Widespread distribution of the fifth and final Lib rety loan-the $4,500, 100000 "Victory" loan-as an antidote to bolshevism, was urged by Carter Glass, secretary of the treasury, in an address tonight before 4O00 loan campaigners of the New York federal reserve district.
 You want to give it widespread dis tribution," he said, because, in my be- lief, the surest way to shoot down bol- shevism is to let the people of this country have a material interest in the government. You want to do it in or der to inculcate the lesson of saving and of thrift"
 An additional reason for absorption of the loan by the people, rather than by banks, Secretary Glass said, was that the greater amount of the loan the banks were called upon to finance, the more would their ability be impaired to meet the demands for capital for com merce and industry. We call this a Victory loan," he said, and it is that But I think it might as well have been called a thanksgiv- ing loan. I am appealing to my fellow countrymen to give thanks to God that the war was, through the valor and spirit of our American nation, kept 5000 miles away"
 Secretary Glass then took up the frequently heard statement that it would be impossible to float another loan.
 Loan Is Possible
 'They said that it was impossible for this country to organize an army that would be a deciding or even helpful factor in the great Hun struggle" he said. And yet you know and William HohenZollern knows, that the United States did organize an army that helped drive the mad monarch into exile and 1 restore the peace of the world
 When we had organized the army, they said it was impossible to trans port it across the seas in time to be of service, and 1 sat in the halls of con gress and heard a discerning and dis tinguished statesman bittertly deride l the secretary of war for suggesting | that within given period, we could transport 500,O00 men to France; and yet, my friends, within the appointed time we had transported not only 500,- 900 men, but 750,000 men. ! Then it was said, after they had | been transported, that this untrained. untested army could not be made fit in time to be of service at the front.
 We know that it was at Chateau Thierry that the American troops met the brave, heroic French, shaken and almost shattered by four years of des- perate struggling, retreating from the battlefield and imploring the American officers to turn back. I was in France last October and personally heard Of the laconic reply of the American con- mander.
 Orders-"Go Forward"
 Turn back said he why. hell we just got here and our orders are to 20 forward
 "Go forward they did, and from that moment, the Prussians never captured a foot of French soil. For more than three years it was said that it was inn possible to take the St. Mihiel salient rom the Hun. and yet that American army made the assault, and in 14 hours TOOK the salient and penned up 5000 Prussian prisoners. So impossibflities are constantly made possible,
 T get little impatient with the i'm . pression that the American people shall 1. requite the goodness of God by looking upon this Victory loan in cold blood and ! upon commercial basis. It is higher in consideration than that. It has something of righteousness about if and we ought to requite the goodness of God in better way than by it's con sideration from 0 commercial point ot view"
 Sims Tells Stories
 Rear Admiral William s. Sims. vhc recently returned from Enronean waters, where he commanded th, American fleet during the war alsr addressed the meeting, urging thf workers to "carry on" until the last bond had been sold.
 lie had never had enough money ? to learn great deal about it, Admira Sims said, but there was one thin1 he did know about it-"that it is tn, sinews of war"
 Tt means supplies, of course" hr said, but to the sailors and soldier, at the front it means a good deal nor, because it expresses that withou which victory is impossible, that whicl is called the will to victory over tn, home people. A loan oversubscribet means to the men at the front, go t, It, we are backing you, we will SC, you trough
 The admiral devoted the greater part Of his address to recountin; stories of the sea, recalling anon; others, his wholly inexcusable GuiI, Hall speech in 1910, when he declare,
