War Loan Campaign Gets Off To
Fine Start Spurred By Italy Fall

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
washington, Sept. 9.-(UP)-The
Third War Loan campaign was off
to q flying start today, spurred BY
the surrender Of Italy and made
more urgent by President Roose-
velt's warning that the war will be-
come bigger and tougher rather
than easier in the months to come.
The official opening Of the drive
to raise SIS, 900, 600 900 by individual
subscriptions came last night In a
nationwide broadcast In which Mr..
Roosevelt, Treasury Secretary Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., and screen stars
participated.
The presidents tone was one Of
grimness and realism, rather than
exultation over the capitulation Of
italy, as he reminded the nation
that German must be driven out Of
Italy, and that the ultimate objec-
tives continue to be Berlin and Tok-
70.
The Great News
"The great news you nave hearo
from General Dwight d. Eisen-
hover does not give you license to
settle back in your rocking chairs
and say, Well, that does it. We've
got 'em on the run. Now we can
start the celebration" the president
said.
This war does not and must not
stop for one instant your
fighting men know that this
war is q full-time job and that 1t
will continue to be until victory Is
won.
Every campaign, every single
operation that we plan and carry
through must be figured in terms
of staggering material costs. We
cannot afford to be niggardly with
any Of our resources.
e. We Americans will not
be satisfied to send our troops into
the fire Of the enemy with equip
ment infefior in any way. Nor will
we be satisfied with equipment
only equal to that of the enemy. We
are determined to provide our troops

And why will right win, and sheer
might lose?
The answer to that question is
provided in THE Eve of st. Mark, D
which opened at the National last
night. In that, the play which Max
well Anderson left behind when he
went to North Africa with the war
correspondents emblem on his
sleeve, it. is revealed as simple
matter OF character. Mr.. Anderson,
who has had much to say, and some
times in such florid terms, says only
that in "The Eve of st. Mark" and
in the saying, he has written a SUI
perlatively fine play, war play
which every one should see, no mat
ter how much he may long for
escape from the monotone Of horror
which has pervaded so many years
that it now is legitimate to ask,
what was peace like?"
In his peacetime plays, Mr.. An
derson has been accused Of pre-
tentiousness. He has sought to
make music of words that was not
inherent in the ideas his words ex-
pressed. At least, so his traducers
have said.
! That is not true of "The Eve of
st. Mark" Somewhere beyond the
music and the rhythms which have
