COMMITTEE IN APPEAL
1Jnls men and women of means volunteer
mt once for serrlco In Philadelphia's Lib
rty Loan campaign the cltr will bo nub
Jctefl to the humiliation of having failed
to raise Its allotment of 250,O00,O0O.
Today the committee faces auch a ltu-
tton. and admlta it There are only nlno
days of the campaign left and In that time
Jth committee must raise In tho Philadelphia
Federal neserve Bank district $136,000,000.
Despite the successes of the campaign
nd they have been notable there Is but
one thing- that will hav the day and sparo
Philadelphia from defeat
The wealthy must make big subscriptions
subscriptions that compare In size and
plrlt with the thousands mad by work
ra In the commercial and Industrial
plants.
To drive them Into line the committee
donned Its fighting togb today and planned
a vigorous offensive on their strong1 boxes
Today's subscriptions swelled the total,
but not to an extent to cause Jubilation
Among the campaign workers. The biggest
ubseriptlon, ono for $2,600,000, came from
the banking house of Montgomery, Clothier
nd Tyler. It. K. Cassatt subscribed for
$50,000 and employes of the Chilton Pub
lishing Company. $10,000.
Banks report n lively business In Liberty
fconds, but, llko the campaign committee,
report that the subscriptions represent the
small Investor. Few big subscriptions are
recorded by, the banks The result of the
bank activities are contained In the fol
lowing table, which contains reports from
several institutions.

A report from McKean County, where
bankers are aiming to sell $1,000 000 of the
loan, dlsclose-i that McKean County cltl
lens are rallying to the call and subscribing
in big numbers. Similar reports were re
ceived from Berks, Montgomery and Chester
oountles, Luzerne County, through 0. P.
Hess, secretary of the Liberty Loan com
mittee In that district, reported that It had
launched a campaign to sell $4,000,000.
This morning the campaign committee
checked up the wealthy citizens who are
listed In the books of the bond houses and
napped out a new offensive on this par
ticular group.
, Each man and woman In this group will
w bombarded with literature and also
-lilted by trained bond salesmen. The
atter will Impress upon them the import
tnca of the loan and urge them to "get
oehlnd It."
As Walter C Janney, executive manager
f the campaign, points out, many men v ho
ir able to subscribe for $50,000 are taking
inly $10,000 of the Liberty Loan. Many
".ro Indifferent nnd excuse themselves by
caylng that they will participate In tho
, Jext loan,
PATKIOTISM ON TRIAL
"Our problem," says Janney, "Is the
present loan. The patriotism of men of
means who are acting restrlctedly is on
trial. Will they respond?"
The "little fellows," as small bond buyers
are styled, are responding nobly, but their
subscriptions do not swell the total, unless
they are augmented by big subscriptions
This morning the campaign committee laid
particular emphasis upon the fact that It
takes 20,000 $50 bond buyers to add $1,000,
i 000 to the loan The committee is getting
the "little fellows" in groups of 20.000,
but they alone cannot put the loan over
Boy Scouts continued their activity to
day and not only sold bonds but bought
them. Troop 126, of the William Penn
Charter School, bought a $60 bond when
twenty-five scouts contributed 12 each.
Troop 130, under command of Scout
master Nelson A. Ogden, met at 1303 Co
lumbia avenue and bought a bond In the
same -J b Troop 30 met at St. Paul's
Presbyteflan Church, Fiftieth Btrect and
Baltimore avenue, and did tho same.
That Is the spirit that animates the
"little fellows," and the committee Is
anxious to have this spirit passed on to
the "wealthy
The Philadelphia Electrlo Company has
organized a Liberty BondjClub for Its em
ployes and Is urging every man and

a-mong the arguments employed In behalf
f the loan were these:

GIRL GOING TO FRANCE
TO DRIVE RELIEF TRUCK
Miss Ruth Richards, of Motor
Messenger Service, Will
Sail Saturday
"I hope I get to the front!"
This Is the expression of the dearest wish
of Miss Ruth Richards, a member of the
motor messenger service of tho I'mergency
Aid, who will sail for Franco next Satur
day to drive n war relief truck Miss
Richards will make the trip with Miss Lc
tltla McKIm, of Chestnut Hill who recently
resigned from tho directorship of tho motnr
messenger servlco of the Kmergcncy Aid
to become nmbulnnco driver for a hospital
In Solssons
Miss Richards, who Is not n. Phlladel
phlan ns is generally understood, but n
natlvo of Coronado, CrI, has become so
Identified with Quaker City relief wnrk that
the Emergency Aid claims he'r for their
own. During her stay In tho city she has
mads her home with Mrs, John Slnnott, nt.
1627 Spruce street.
Miss Richards, who does not attempt to
conceal her enthusiasm about tho trip, docs
not think it is at all unusunl that a girl
should measure up to a mnn and drive a
big heavy truck. The lady from California
knows all about carbureters nnd tronBinls
slons and the rest of tho things that go to
make up tho bigness of a truck She can
chango a tire with all the nonchalance- of
a man.
"I have done nil these thing' before "
she raid In the office of the Motor Mes
sengers today, "and I don't seo whv there
should be any difference when I get oer
on tho other side The work for the pres
ent will consist In hauling hospital sup
plies."
"But," she added. "I'd like to get to the
front. I think eery one who pets over
there wants to get Into the thick of things "
"What about the bullets?" she -fas asked
"Well," was the reply, "1 guess you
never can tell what you'll do until you
face one, but somehow now, Just thinking
about them. I'm not afraid !"
Miss McKIm nlso achieves a very dear
hope In going nbroad. She served for eight
months In a hospital In France earlier In
tho war.
"It Is the thing," sho said today, "that
Interests me morn than anything el-o In
the world "
Miss McKIm will not go empty-handed
to the little hospital In Solssons that In
so badly In need of funds. It Is housed In
a convent that has been so badly riddled
with shells that the walls aro filled with
gaping holes By means of a "greenback
shower" arranged by her friends, $850 has
been collected for her to tako to tho hos
pital A request for help for tho hospltnl came
In a letter to Miss McKIm from Mile Saint
raui. who is director of the bullet-riddled
building In Solssons.

PREVENTED BY UNCLE SAM
Bridegroom, Who When He Procured License Said He Was
21, Permitted to Marry on Producing Birth Cer
tificate, Which Exempts Him Prom Draft
The wedding of two socially prominent
young persons narrowly escaped Interrup
tion today by agents of tho Department of
Justice because the bridegroom to expedite
the matter of obtaining a marriage llcenso
fnlslfled his age, giving the Impression that
he was twenty-one years old, and thereforo
eligible to the draft.
The principals of this little near-drama
of the drnft are .Mitchell Stead. Jr., son of
Mitchell Stead, superintendent of one of the
mills of Folwell Brothers A Co, manufac
turers of dress goods. 625 Chestnut street,
and Miss Mildred Grant, daug-itor of V

as h-) had not attained his inajorltv ho
would have to obtain tho consent of his
father before a license could be Issued Ac
cording to Stead's sister. Stead senior was
..lic.iumg an important directors' meeting,
and the son did not wish to disturb him.

Of course, his age was announced as twen-ty-ono
years, and neighbors of the Stead
family thought that the young man was
really twenty-ope. Tho Steads reside at
27S0 North Eleventh street, nnd there was
consldernblo comment In the neighborhood
last night when It was noised about that
young Stead had not registered and had
no Intention of doing so Complaint was
made to Gregor Drummond and John Nagle,
members of the exemption board They
walled until 9 o'clock last night for Stead
to register, nnd, when he did not do so,
they reported the case to Frank Garbnrlno.
head of the Department of Justice in the
Philadelphia district
Garbarlno put a couple of secret service
men on the case right away, and the latter
visited the Stead home Young Stead pro
tested that he was only twenty years old
and told the agents the circumstances of
his giving his age as twenty-one when he
obtained his marriage license. He told
them also that he visited the Marriage Li
cense Bureau yesterday and tried to have
his correct age placed on tho records, hut
that the officials there refused to rectify
the error. Young Stead was obliged to
produce his birth certificate showing he was
born August SI, 1836, before tho secret
tervlce men consented to get off the trail.
