J., Sept. 28. —Opening the campaign for the second Liberty loan of $3, --000,000,000, Secretary McAdoo today called upon the bankers of America to fling back the German -hordes on the batUeflelds of finance. The failure of a single issue of government bonds, McAdoo told life American Bankers' associa tion, would be worse for America than a disaster upon the field of battle. America's forthcoming bond issue, he said, is pitted against a corresponding loan in Germany. Quoting a Berlin manifesto which boasted of a successful subscrip tion campaign In the Teutonic em pire, McAdoo declared: "Let us meet that challenge by a subscription to our second Lib erty loan on the 27th day of Oc tober, nine days after the close of the German loan, which will make clear to the German mili tary despotism that America mar shals not alone her brave soldier* upon the field, her Invincible navy on the high seas, her industries thruout the length and breadth of the land, but as well ht>r finan cial resources, and that sh* is de- | termined to use them all without stint and regardless of sacrifice to vindicate American rights, out raged too frequently by German infamies." - Before June 30, 1918, the IT. S. will have to raise by additional bond Issues between 13 and 14 billions Of dollars, McAdoo said. Approximately five billions of this will go as loans to our allies. The second Liberty loan, said McAdoo, will be more attractive to the "small man" than the first. The new bonds will bear four per cent Interest and will be exempt from all taxes encept sugar-in come, excess profits and Inherit ance levies. Let McAddoo Decide Suggestions that Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo be greeted with a mass meeting at the Taco ma theater Oct. 9, a meeting of Liberty bond committeemen in the evening at the Elks auditor ium, and a dinner, have been sent to McAdoo's private secretary by Ralph S. Stacy, chairman of the Icx-al entertainment committee, subject to McAdoo's preferences. FREE SMOKES Mayor Fawcett is buying lo's of cigars these days.

Officials of the Seaborn Shipbuilding Co. admitted Friday they might be affected by the boycott. Nick Babare, of the Babare Bros, plant, declared It was so hard ot get lumber at all now that he'd use anything he could get. "If I had a chance to get lumber on which men had worked 2<uin'urw a day, I'd use It," lie said. The union timberworkers say they have traced- 10-hour lumber <o all the Tacoma shipyards ex cept the Todd plant. Most of It has come from outside the city, from the B. A M. Co. at Lake Tapps and from Ostrander. No. St. Paul mill lumber is being used, they say. The demands of the shipyard workers here probably will be similar to- those made on the Se attle shipyards.

Tacoma bakers today are left with no shadow of an excuse for continuing the , present exorbitant price, of bread. « Tacoma dairymen, when their association, meets Saturday night, can't vote to raise the ] price of milk to 15 cents a quart without de- • liberately branding themselves as highway robbers and purse snatchers. ; Ilciv's a new reason why: Pacific coast flour prices for family put- ; cuts wer cut to .+K>.2(> i barrel wholesale at I meeting of Pacific ('oast millers in Port- j land Thursday night, at which T. B. Wilcox, chairman of the millers' committee <>f the food sdministration on the Pacific coast, ; presided. The new price is $8.60 below the ; high mark set several months ago, and $1.40 less than the price at the time the govern ment announced a hasic wheat price of ; $2.05 a bushel. A reduction of $3 a ton in the price of mill feeds Mas also announced. Tacoma bakers have been giving "the high price of flour" as an excuse for charg ing us 15 cents for a 22-ouiice loaf of bread, while Los Angeles has been able to get a 24 --ounce loaf for 11 cents, and England an even lower rate. Tacoma dairymen have been complaining of "the advancing price of feed," in boost ing Tacoma milk prices to eight quarts for a dollar and planning a still further Increase to 15 cents a quart. NO MORE EXCUSES WILL GO. THE BOTTOM HAS DROPPED OUT OF THEM. THE TACOMA PUBLIC WILL NOT BELIEVE THEM. in the light of the prices set by the millers there is no decent choice \efjt for the bakers' association but to cut the price of bread, i There is no decent choice for the dairymen Who control prices here but to lower, rather j than raise, milk prices. Watch them—these dairymen and bakers both. By their actions now they will have to show whether they are Tacoma's enemies or friends; whether they are loyal citisens or robbers; whether they are backing Uncle 1 Sam or the kaiser. !
