To Buy Bonds The American. Federation of Labor, seeking to aid the Treasury Depart? ment to distribute the new Victory notes as widely among tho people as possible, yesterday called upon the workingmen of the nation to assure . tho "futuro stability and success" of . the country by investing in the new securities. "We are not asked to give, but to loan, our savings to tho nation," said tho appeal. "We are not asked to forego profit or lose such interest as the pri? vate banks might pay for tho loan of our savings. On the contrary, the na? tion will pay a higher interest and give ? r a. tter security than any private ? : m. In addition, the govern II use the wage earners' savings in behalf of the interests of all our ; . pie and to promote their general faro, instead a*' enriching merely a :i .'.? who arc already well-to-do. "Let us, therefore, express our feel- ; a g of rejoicing and manifest our i gladness for the triumph of our cause and the victories of our arms by ling dly behind our govern - *. in peace as in war and assure its lity and success by in ng ? r avings in Victory bonds.

In tho 2d ^Federal Reserve Di?trlct yesterday M'Adoo Says Victory Loan is a Prelude to Prosperity Success of Drive Will Clear Financial Atmosphere, He Contends; War Risk Bill Praised as One of the Best Laws Ever Passed by Congress William G. McAdoo, former Secretary | of the Treasury, called upon the na- ? tion to discharge a most sacred debt of honor to 90,000 dead, 200,000 wounded, nnd the dependents and bene? ficiaries of 1,500,000 American Holdiers, sailors and marines still in service, in a speech delivered at a luncheon of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon, in behalf of the Victory Liberty Loan. He; oro Mr. McAdoo spdke, Lieu? tenant II. H. Doehler, an aviator, was cheered by 500 diners present. Lieu? tenant Doehler foil in enemy terri? tory, was captured, escaped, was re? captured and spent a month on bread and water in a German prison, until liberated by tho armistice. "We would be a nation e?f pikers nnd four-flushers if wo failed to put this loan over," declared Mr. McAdoo. "The? enlisted man uncomplainingly faced death whe>?i wo asked him to. Many of the rest of us were never called upon except to buy bonds baseel upon the immaculate and impregnable credit of the United State's. If I thought tho country would let this loan fail, I could not look this hero aviator in the face to-day." $810,000,000 Needed for Insurance According te? Mr. McAdoo, proceeds from tho Victory Loan are needed te? help pay some $810,000,000 now duo the beneficiaries of soldiers, sailors and marines under the war risk in? surance bill, which ho characterized as one of the most "remarkable, credit? able, generous and humane acts" ever passed by Congress. "When it was framed," ho said, "in? surance men predicted that not moro than 25 per cent of enlisted men would take it and not in Amounts averaging moro than $2,500 each. On tho con? trary, 4,500,000 men and women in ser? vice took an average of moro than $0.000 insurance each, totalling $40, pnssed their quotas, making 211 thus far.

The Victory Loan must suc? ceed in order ta make that trust good." Business men will find it a wise in? vestment to help get tho loan finished so liquidation of tho government war debts may be speedily accomplished, declared Mr. McAdoo. Loan to Insure Prosperity "A year ago, when the Germans all but won an irretrievable victory," he said, "no man but was willing to pay any price for the peace which we now have. It only remains to clear tho financial atmosphere and put business on a firm basis, freo from artificiali? ties, and this country will 3ee the greatest era of prosperity ever known. But the tradition of financial integrity and unblemished credit started by Alexander Hamilton must bo upheld by putting this loan over in the shortest possible time." In this connection, Mr. McAdoo pleaded for as wido a distribtition of bond holding as possible, so as not to tie up the funds of tho banks, which would then be in a position to finance legitimato business and sound enter? prise. "People do not yet realizo how easily this country got off," said Mr. McAdoo. "It has been estimated that if the war had continued six months longer at least 100,000 more American boys would have lost their lives and 200,001) more been wounded. In money, six months more, of war would have added approximately $100,000,000,000 to tho present debt of this country." Speaking in tho open air at Borough Hall at noon yesterday Mr. McAdoo praised the work of tho women bond sellers of the country, declaring they had set a paco that even the men have had difficulty in matching._ Wounded Honored In Loan On Victory Way Belgian Mayor Tells of Ger? man Cruelty During Occu? p?t ion; Speakers to Boom Drive After 77th Parade Yesterday was wounded day at Vic? tory Way, and 400 crippled veterans sat in the sunlight before tho speak? ers' pulpit, during the noonday exer? cises. The spring weather brought out a record crowd. Children from Public School No. 91 tossed llowers from tho guests' stand down upon the wounded and the blos? soms hung about the fighters' necks, twined about their crutches and formed a pink and white carpet beneath their feet. Alfred Nerincx, Mayor of Louvain, Belgium, voice trembling, told the story of the ruin of his city. "The Germans settled in our homes," he said. "In my house I had to put up with seventy-live men, and they made tho place so dirty that it took my niece several weeks to clean it up. After about four days of somewhat peaceful occupation, without tho slight? est excusa they started shooting in all our streets. From the roof of my house 1 saw them set tiro to tho cathe? dra! and immediately afterward to the university. Treasures Destroyed "In ono short summer night they ruined 300,000 books, tho accumulated treasures of science and art for five centuries. At the same time they de? parted 3,000 of our people, in cattle ears to Germany, killed 300 of them and destroyed 1.100 houses." The n-->:t. speaker, Colonel Howard Blake, who j?as in charge of a hos? pital in France, was enthusiastically cheered by the wounded men. Colonel Mahlon Ashford, commanding tho Wal? ter Reed Hospital, in Washington, de? scribed over the long distance tele? phone the reconstruction work of his ho pital. The 305th Infantry, of tho 77th, passed through Victory Way dur? ing the ceremonies on its way to the 7th Regiment Armory to await to-day's parade, Regis II. Post, former Governor of Porto Rico, in an address in the audi? torium of the Wanamaker Ktoro yester? day, said that if tho Victory Loan fails American prestige will be ruined the world over. Moie than "$100,000 in Victory notes were subscribed yesterday by em? ployes of tho Standard Shipyard at Shooters Island. "I believe we shall exceed our record of $.'150,000, which wi subscribed to tho last loan," said Joseph K. Mcary, chairman of the Loan Club.

"Men engaged in this practice are i frequently civilian beggars masquerad j ing in uniforms, or else discharged sol j diers who do it from choice and not ! from necessity," said a report made to I Secretary of Labor Wilson from his in j vestigation and inspection service. "This report," said a Department of i Labor statement, "shows that button , selling is a lucrative business. Many men arrested by the military au? thorities admit having made from $10 to $25 a day selling badges and ban? ners. One man, who was asked by an investigator if he woulel like a job, laughed at the investigator and said: ?"Why should I work? I made $50 yes? terday selling 'Welcome Home' 'nut tons." "Of twelve men in naval uniforms, Y JL OU pay no tax on Custom Tailoring.
