HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
CITIZENS TO WAGE DRIVE, AIDED
BY SPECTACULAR PUBLICITY
WASHINGTON, April 19.—(8y As
sociated Press)—Throughout the Unit
ed States will open tomorrow the Vic
tory Liberty Loan Campaign, the last,
and probably the most spectacular of
the five money drives made by the
government as the principal njeans of
financing the war.
Several hundred thousand citizens
have enrolled as volunteer speakers
or solicitors for this issue of Victory
notes, and for many months the Treas
ury, through the twelve Liberty Loan
district organizations has been per
fecting selling plans.
From public platform, theatre stage,
movie screen, and street corner box,
ciitzens will receive the appeal to buy
notes to provide the funds which vir
tually have already been spent for war
purposes since the signing of the ar
mistice. From door to door volunteer
canvassers will go in an effort to make I
the number of subscribers to this loan
exceed even the 20,000,000 of the
Fourth Loan.
Spectacular Publicity.
Among the spectacular publicity
features arranged by the Treasury to I
call sharp attention of the American !
people to the loan, are aerial demon-1
stations, war exhibit trains, posters,,
exhibitions of captured German sub-

as an official acknowledgment of the
achievement. Similarly an industrial
honor flag will be given to each busi

“And They Thought We Couldn’t
Fight,” by Clyde Forsythe; "They
Kept the Sea Lanes Open,” by L. A.
Shafer.
The principal pamphlets to be used
as a means of driving home the story

stayed at home to finance it with their
dollars are these: “Where the money
Went,” by James H. Collins; "The
Watch on the Rhine,” by fturgwant-
Major Allen C. Rankin; “The Price
We Pay,” "Speakers Handbook,” and

In each Liberty Loan district head
quarters publicity directors have ar

through the Treasury at Washington.

were sent to this country by General
Pershing.

LESLIE M. SHAW
TO DEBATE HERE
AT CHAUTAUQUA
Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the
treasury in the cabinet of President
Roosevelt, and twice governor of lowa,
will debat eon the fourth night of the
coming Chautauqua, with Charles
Zueblin. well known writer and lectur
er on a national and international
problem, the great subject of Govern
ment Owenrship of Railroads Mr.
Zueblin will speak for gov-, rnment
ownership and Mr. S'haw will take the
negative side.
The speakers in the debat3 ha ,e
been chosen by the Chautauqua man
agement for their carnprenensive ex
pert knowledge <.f the enure matter
‘ and also their ability as puolis spenk
ers. Mr. Shaw xml Mr. Zueblin will
discus the question from every an
gle in authoritative manner and then’
having heard both sides of the ques
tioi.. people wiP be more able to arrive
at a just and fair conclusion on this
important problem.
Mr. Shaw is known as one of the
leaders of conservative thought in
financial and governmental spheres.
Not only was he secretary of the treas
ury under Roosevelt and governor of
lowa but he has been president of
two great banking institutions, the
Carnegie Trust Co., of New York, and
the First Mortgage Guarantee and
Trust Co., of Philadelphia. In 1898
he was made permanent chairman of
the International Monetary Commis
sion.
Reared on a farm, Mr. Shaw went
to Cornell College lowa, where he re
ceived the degree of B.S. and M.S.
He studied law at the lowa College of
Law and received his law degree from 1
this institution and practiced law at
Denison. la.. Until he was elected gov
ernor of his state. Stortly after be
ginning his career as a lawyer he
entered the banking business and was
interested in banks at Denison, Man
illa and Cherter Oak, la.
Mr. Shaw brings to his discussion
of the negative side of the question
of government ownership of railroads
a life-long experience as a successful
business man, a deep thinking lawyer
and an accomplished speaker. He
will admirably state the case of those
who believe that government has no
place in conducting the railroads.
Charles Zueblin has studied national
and international problems all his life.
He is known as an effective and elo
quent exponent of democracy in the
broad sense of that word. To him
democracy means the life of all by
co-operation of all for the welfare of
all.
For sixteen years he was a member
of the University of Chicago Extension
Staff, lecturing on civic and moral
questions, for the most part outside
the University walls. He has travel
ed over half a million miles speaking
before religions and labor organiza
tions, chambers of commerce, civic
leagues and mixed audiences.
Mr. Zueblin is the author of a num
among them being “Democracy” and
the “Overman” the Religion of the
Democrat.”
Uatarrhai Dcurntsi Cannot i>e Cured
by local applications. an they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have a rubbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hull's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
my ease of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
