The canvass of the entire city will
be completed within the time limit,
and it is not believed probable that it
will be necessary to ask investors tor;

have purchased bonds during the past
week, and announced their intention
of increasing the subscriptions during

the American soldiers returned from

slogan of the Victory Loan campaign

with equal success.
Atlanta was given a mark to shoot
at by the success of the Chattanooga
campaign. Haynes McFadden, dis
trict chairman, was informed yester
day that Chattanooga went over the

$5,029,000 quota. Chattanooga takes
the honor, with this announcement, of
being the first big city I‘tthe aistrict

Dobbs Opens Drive
By Talk at Opera
The opening gun in the’ Atlanta
Victory Loan drive wasg fired at the
Auditorium Satumsday night during
the intermission between the two
operas, when Samuel C. Dobbs, chair
man of the Atlanta Victory Loan
committee, stepped unexpectedly upon
the stage and made a dramatic ap
peal to the throng of pleasure-seeck
ers to face seriously the big job of
paying for victory. The speech was
short, sharp and effective and was
merrupted by frequent bursts of ap
use,
The audience was stirring trom the
seats to met out for a breathing spell
when Mr. Dobbs stepped out ana
made his dramatic appeal. He said:
“lI am keenly conscious of the fact
that this audience came here tonight
to be sung te, not talked at, but the
importance of my message will jus
tify, I trust, this intrusion. \
“Atlanta has had a great week, and,
as usual, has broken some records,
both as to box-office receipts as well,
as to the number of those uttendlng‘

“We have enjoyed the Metropolitan
Opera. Company, and ‘I trust they
have enjoyed us.
“We have had our fling. Now a
serious job awaits us. .
“At the beginning of this week a
campaign to raise $4,500,000,000—the
fifth and final loan—began through
out the United States, with the ex
ception of Atlanta. Your committee
decided, and wisely, I think, that At
lanta would raise her quota of $lO,-
772,500 without interfering with the
‘testivmes and plans for opera week.
“My presence on this platform to
night is to call your attention to At
lanta's job and to make an appear to
your patriotism and sound judgment,
and to appeal for your unselfish serv
ice this coming week. i
“This job is yours and mine—not
someone else’s, and it can be put over
only by every man and woman in At~
lanta doing his oM her part. The
amount is not large as compared to
the fourth loan, which was oversub
scribed. This is particularly true in
view of the fact that when the fourth
loan was subscribed we all thought
that there would be at least three
more this year. And had not the war
closed in November of last year there
would have been three additional
loans instead of one, ‘
“The people of America entered the

peace and security to the free nations

Wilson, to do their full part when and
‘wherever called upon,

most optimistic of us thought pos
sible, and at a much less cost than
anticipated. ‘
“It wag our men at Chateau Thierry
that turned the tide. It was our
boys, from our homes, that helped
clean up the St, Mihiel salient and
the Argonne. |
~ “Billions have been poured out in

of equipment and getting all of this
vast army overseas. And-—listen to
me-——this money has been spent; it is
our debt—-yours and mine, and Uncle
Sam is now ‘asking his children to
lend him the money that will enable
him, like an honest man, to meet the
obligations already incurred.
AN Must Respond.
“Whether or not money was wasted
is entirely irrelevant. Your country
hag incurred these obligations in your
interest and mine, in the interest of
all mankind, and as a good gitizen
you can not afford to do less than
respond promptly and liberally to
ward the meeting of this national ob
ligation,
“Someone has said the war is over,
but the bills incurred in winning this

yet to be brought home. Have they

and you can not afford to be less loyal
than they.
“Someone has sald ‘the American
public is tired of patriotism; let's get

“All right.

boys went to France and _{nvested all
they had in liberty. Their dividends

“T'wo million other Americans went
to France and willingly offered to get

they knew they would never clip a
coupon. That was a cold-blooded
business proposition,
“Thirty million other Americans
here at home saved and stinted and
bought nearly $30,000,000,000 worth of
bonds with which to finance the war,
“That was a business proposition.
“Now that the war is over it is your

“As a business proposition solely
there was never a better investment

for the balance and three additional

interest the bond, itself carries. Or,
in other wordg, you can buy just twice
as many bonds as you originally in
tended to buy, for this arrangement
gives you twelve months in which to.
pay for them,
“In quantities of less than SI,OOO
the old plan of 10 per cent cash and
the remainder in six equal monthly
installments will be adhered to,
“In closing, may 1 not quote from a
notable address recently delivered in
New York by Admiral Sims.
“ “These men, referring to the 65,000

Weekly Publication Here
‘“Public Men in Georgia,” depicting
the personal attributes of prominent
citizens of the State, will make its.
bow to the public this week, Jeff Mills,
of Decatur, managing editor of the pa
per, announced Saturday night.
All newspapers, Mr. Mills states, give
the political views of public men, but
few, if. any, show the sometimes more
!memstlnf ?ersonal characteristies.
“Public Men in Georgia” is designed to
remedy this. It will be published from
Atlanta, with the whole State as its
territory. Woman’'s suffrage is one of
the policies of the new paper, and every
week a new reason will be given why
the women should be allowed to vote.
