tankers pathcred liere at the forty-third
Annual convention of the American llankcrs'
Association to righteous Indignation this
morning when It was Voiced by the Secre
Ury of the Trcnsury. 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.

Schneider '

and navy men are believed to be Involved
In the spying activities of ICdwIn l Schnei

ferred from the curtody of the civil to the

the other two nic said to be ensigns In
the na. ,
It Is understood tho men are accused of
having given Information to Schneider val
uable to the German Government. At tho
tlmo of Schneider's arrest he was attempt
ing to leaxe the country on a Swedish ves
sel after sundry attempts to enlist, one of
which resulted in his spending at least

Camp Dix Barracks
Swept by Flames
Continued from I'.ice One
Is thought that several of these new men
may have been taken to tho guard house
pending u questioning by olllcers In charge.
Sentries, of course, were forbidden to
talk. A close veil of censorship was thrown
about all matters relating to the fire until
olllcers in charge have a chanco.to make
at least a preliminary Investigation.
' Tho lire was discovered In the early hours
of the morning. The lltst Intimation came
when sentries called the guard with cries
of "Fire. Guard No. 3." The warning.,
dreaded In nil nrmy vamps or cantonments,
was followed by several shots fired In ad
ditional wainlmr.
Within a few minutes the whole building
nt one end had become a blazing furnace.
Awakened by tho noise "and smoke, mem
bers of Company L were forced to flee for
their lives. They made no attempt to save
any of their belongings. They tumbled
out In pell-mell style. After the first ex
citement had subdued tho men aided In
fighting the Haines. '
The building went up like kindling wood,
according to onlookers. Tho Wrlshtstown
fire department win called and by effective
work kept the flames from spreading to
other barracks buildings nearby.
Despite the early hour of the morning
residents of Wrlghtstown soon were
aroused. It was feared that the whole can.
tonment would go up in smoke. The
flames shot upward hundreds of feet In tho
air and could bo seen plainly for miles.
Hundreds of Inquiries wero received from
near' y towns.
