palgn committee Its first real bit of Joy in I
several oays and also proved that the word
slacker cannot be written opposite the
names of working men nnd women.
'The poor," said A E. Turner, of the
campaign committee, 'have responded to
the country"s call In a manner that place
them high up on the honor roll Their sub
scrlptlons to the Liberty Loan are direct
evidence that their patriotism is real If
the wealthy citizens In Philadelphia and
other cities In this district exhibited the
same brand of patriotism Philadelphia's
allotment would be oversubscribed many
times "
WEALTH HOLDING BACK
Turner and other members of the com
mittee drew a severe Indictment against
wealthy citizens and placed the blame for
Philadelphia's miserable showing in the
T 'irty Bond campaign upon their shoul
ders. '
Despite the vigorous campaign that has
been waged Philadelphia races a crisis in
regard to the loan Its allotment Is $260,
000.000 and up to a late hour today the sub
scriptions recorded do not exceed $118,000,
000. There aro only seven days left In
which to raise $132,000,000
Today the American Bank subscribed for
$50,000 and Druedlng Brothers Company
$200,000
The New York Shipbuilding Company en
tered the campaign with a $i00.000 sub
scrlption, nnd the Franklin National Bank
reported new subscriptions amounting to
SI. 000.000.
The Andalusia Improvement Association
reported $S000 In subscriptions, and the
borough of Glenoldcn Invested $5000 In
Liberty Bonds
Union League officials, who arc waging
a $1,000,000 campaign, reported that sub
scriptions to date t6tal more than $100,000.
These subscriptions were the outstanding
features In today's campaign.
Although encouraging, the committee
points out that the campaign cannot be
successful unless rich men subscribe for
big amounts.
That the Liberty Bond campaign has
been effective among the working people
becomes more apparent as reports from
outside sections reach headquarters House
wives, school-teachers. Boy Scouts, railroad
workers, stenographers and virtually every
field of endeavor is handsomely represented
in the list of Liberty Bond buyers
GOING AFTER ItlCH SLACKERS
"We must complete our allotment," was
the terse comment of T Johnson Ward,
vice chairman of the committee "This
morning we are going after the slackers
the rich fellows who are falling to make
good. We have appealed to them and made
every endeavor to enlist their co-operation
Now we must get after them and force
them into line I don't believe that their
failure to respond Is due to any lack of
patriotism. Apparently it Is due to the In
