William CI. McAdoo. With this Indictment the Secretary pre sented at the same time eloquent testimony to the fact that the resources of America 'were never no nmple for ourselves or so formidable for our enemies ns now. He called upon the- nation's bankers to fulfill the grave responsibility which now tests upon them to "solve tho financial problems of tho war and do their utmost to make the flotation of the second Liberty loan of 13,000,000.000 marked with such popular success that It will be an Invincible leply to Germany's challenge. Incidentally, Mr. McAdoo said 'hat he had Just received a statement from the Secretary of Agrlculturo estimating the, valuo of American farm and agricultural products for the year 1917 at $17,000. . 000,000, This, said Secretary MoAdoo, Is the greatest value ever recorded. MB13UTV LOAN CAMPAIGN' In opening the campaign for the second Liberty Loan of t3.000,000,000 McAdoo Challenged the bankers of America to fling fcack tho German hordes on the battlefields of finance. 'The failure ofva single Issue of Govern ment bonds." the Secretary of the Ticosny said, "would be worse for America than ii disaster upon the field of battle." America's forthcoming bond issue, he said. Is pitted against n- corresponding loan in Germany. Quotliur a Berlin manifesto, nhlch boasted of a successful subscription campaign In the Teutonic empire, McAdoo 'declared; "Let ua meet that challenge1 by a sub scription to our second Liberty Loan on the twenty-seventh day of October, nine days after tho cloc of the German loan, which will make clear to the German mili tary despotism that American marshals not alone her brave soldiers upon tho field, ' her Invincible ,navy on the high seas, hei Industries throughout the length and treadth of the Inad. but as well her finan cial resources, and thai she Is determined touse them all.xwlthout stint and regardless of sacrifice to vlnd'cate American, rights. ' outragdo too frequently by German In famies. "Let us answer this challenge by maklns clear to the world that the American pet., pie', with transcendent love of justice ntid of country, stand solidly behind their grea President and support unequloeuly th purposes of this war." Before June. 1918. the United Statei will have to raise by additional bond Issues, saio 'MpAdoo, between thirteen nnd fourteen bli llonni of dollars. Approximately five bil lions of tills amount will go as loans to our Allies. "To ralfo thirteen or fourteen billions of dollars.'' ha raid. "oi oi before the 30th of Julie, .1918. by the Hale of bonds In recur ring. Installments seems to sumo people an hnrioslllo task. "(t Is a stupendous undertaking, but It Is not impossible for America. It Is not "easy, hut It can be done. Our resourcas are adequate ; our will Is perfect : our spirit- Is Indomitable, and our success Is certnln. 1 "We have only to pull together hankers. lawyers, doctors, manufacturers, fanners, wage-earners. laborers, men and women Sllke, Girl Scouts nnd Hoy Scouts and every other class of people and we can do the Job." The second Liberty Loan said McAdoo. will be more attractive to the "small man" than, the first. Tho new bonds will bear i per cent Interest and will be exempt from all taxes except supcrlncome. excess profit and Inheritance levies. ;rhe bonds of the flist loan, on the other hand, were exempt from supertaxes givlni: weaitny men, ac cording to Secretary McAdoo, "an undue advantage." This Inequality Is eliminated In'the new loan, ho said Reasserting Amer'ca's reasons ror enter ing the world conflict. Secretary McAdoo declared : "It has been repeatedly stated that Amer ica entered this war to make liberty and democracy becure throughout the world. While that Is true It must always be re membered that America entered the war for a more Immediate reason. Noble and Idealistic as Is her championship of uni versal democracy, she entered this war pri marily because of tho persistent Insults and aggressions of Germany, the wanton dis regard of American rights within our own borders, as well as upon the high seas, the cot'temptuous violation of International law and the ruthlesu destruction of American life and property." Picturing America as "tho valiant knight who came upon the scene In the blackness t the night and rescued civilization," Sec retary McAdoo declared that he "has not the shadow of n doubt that victory- will bo complete, that America's honor will bo vin dicated, that America's vital rights will be preserved, that peace upon n stable and a Just basis will be re-established nnd that democratic Institutions will be extended throughout the earth," Pro-German propaganda within our gates aa scathingly denounced by McAdoo. "It is well for the American people to realize," he said, "the hypocrisy and dis loyalty of all these efforts and to determine to stamp them out rtlentlesMy nnd rwnorse laly, becaudo tho Interests of the nation must at no-time be Imperiled more by 'the traitors within our walls than by the ene mies without." PATRIOTIC APPEAL CHKKIIKD Tremendous applause greeted the Secre tary when at the conclusion of his indictment f German acts of violence and German In. trlgue ho exclaimed: "Why, my friends. If there Is a single American who can read that record of Oermaiv Infamy and still de clare that there Is no Justification for tho ntrance of the United States Into (lie war, then yellow blood runs In that man's veins nd there Is not a drop of real American blood In him." Tho bankers also greeted wfth enthusl tjc approval Ms appeal to them to lend tuejr ala to the commerc'al undertakings csssary for the successful prosecution or the war by engaging more widely InTedls countlhg operations. "We must not continue tVhug that lioary oogtmj. of not rodlscountlng," ho urged earn estly, "when It Is essential that we re oitoount. "Why should we cling to a policy 'UH in the past has thrown the Government jnto spasms of disaster when opportunity J low given to prevent'recurrence' of such laer." ''Victory g as sure as tomorrow's sun," ((.tared Carl Vrooman, assistant Secretary ' Agriculture, In addressing the bankers W morning. i,,""e on'y Question Is how soon our "luinpli will come.
