At liberty loan headquarter? last

McAdoo Urges All Buy
More Liberty Bonds
"The second week of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign opens with
the most tremendous task of all loans,
past and present, facing the gov
ernment'? sales forces." d?clarai
William G. McAdoo yesterday.
"Not only are the canvassers con
fronted with the herculean problem
of selling fifty per cent more bonds !
for the entire period of the cam- j
paign than they ever have attempt
ed ?o sell, but the daily sales aver- i
ages to date "arc far below what they
should be. At the outset of the pres
ent campaign It was necessary to j
?ell -(315,000.(?0?? per day In order to
float the loan. Based on aal?? re
ports to banks and trust companies,
the taak has increased to the point ?
where an average of MM-W.1*?.?? In]
subscriptions must be taken dall> I
between now and the close of busi- ?
nes? on October 19 if the *???.0?,???
desired is subscribed.
Must Heed Slogan.
"If there Is one explanation to the
apparent lasgiiur of the loan it is the
failure of the purchasers to hetd the
slogan of tho drive. Buy .More
Bonds.' Reports from all parts ol.
the country Indicate that there is no
failure on the part of persons wi.o
bought bonds tn the third loan to buy '
again, but some of them are foi-get
tlng that they not only must buy '
again but they must buy more heavily
than ever before. There probably will j
be many ?ale? during the preeent Kan '
to person? who have not bought here- ]
tofore. but unless an enormous urni?
of new subscribers are obtained it I
will be neceeeary for former su'oscrib- [
ers to buy approximately V) per cent ?
more bonda than they did in the third I
loan to send the fourth over the trp.
New subscribers scarcely will take the
added $2.000,000,000. it is believed.
"These facts are to be born? in by
salesmen throughout the country this .

wealthy persons alike. Not only wli' ?
small purchasers be told that they.

MONKEYS ESCAPE SPANISH

Such was the substance of a re

the Zoological Park lart night to
the report that the monkeys in tlie
"Zoo" were down ln bed with the
Spanish influenza.
"Although monkeys have ailments
similar to their human counter

"those we have in our charge are so
well-guarded and taken care of.
that an influenza germ would only
be wanting its time in the Zoo."

Life Insurance Assets
For Liberty Loan
Secretary McAdoo has received from
Mr. E. G. Simmons, president of the
American Life Convention, a copy of
a resolution adopted at the 191?! an
nual meeting of the convention, held
at Chicago.
The resolution calls attention to the
fact that the British government has
requested British life insurance com
panies to invest twenty per cent of
their assets in British war loans, and
pledges the companies comprising tht
American Life Convention to invest |
In liberty bonds "not only twenty Per
cent of their assets, but any ?u?li
amount as may be necessary."
