FRIDAY, SEPTEMIJER 27. ISIS.
THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.
America stands on the threshold of
a great adventure and a great test.
Adventure abroad where our ar
my is poised for a plunge into terri
tory long held as German soil a
plunge through what must be the
flower of Germany's troops if the
Kaaiser is not at once to concede
defeat.
A scorching test abroad since our
First American army, released from
the tutelage of French and British
war experts, must pit its own newly
acquired shill against the Boehe past
masters.
Glorying in the valor revealed at
Cantigny and Chateau Thierry, secure
in the strength of the millions of oth
er Americans hurrying to the battle
front, our army as impatiently its
confidently awaits the issue.
America at home faces its great a
challenge in the Fourth Liberty Loan
and as great a test.
The huge size of the loan whlcl
is for six billion dollars, outstrii
! ping all precedent thrills our ime
| ginatlon and rouses us to our nioa
| extreme efforts that it may be "pu
.over" in the short time set.
A searching test—since it will rt
i; veal Inexorably just how much in eat
! nest Amerlca-at-hoine is in Its desir
i to crush autocracy into the mud o
this winter's battlefields.
Germany will laugh if more that
the allotted three weeks is requirei
to raise the minimum sum called foi
Germany will tremble at the new
of an oversubscription in less time
The loan is not a large one whet
States $250,000,000,000 are consid
ered The oversubscription of thi
Fourth Liberty Loan will require lesi
than a fifth of the annual income o
the country, now estimated at $50
000.000,000.

THE NEW DRAFT.
The now draft law and the recentl)
announced determination of the ad
ministration to place an army of flv<
million men in the field are gooi
news. We like the plan, oven though
we may have to make our sacrifices
There is nothing saved in half-wa)
measures. We are fighting a crue
and blood-thirsty enemy, who hat
thrown his all into the ring No bet
ter news for us can filter into Ger
many than the knowledge that wt
have placed our full man power, as
well as our resources, in the fight.
We waste time in speculating as t(
when tile war will be over. It wil
end when it ends, and it will end soon
est when we have marshaled our ful
strength in the field. We will win tin
war, but it is not wise to prolong ii
indefinitely. Others fiddled with tin
Panama canal. We built it; but wi
had to learn the lesson of eoncen
(rating our resources and our finance.'
in sufficient quantity. The war i;
j only another Panama, but a bigget
one. The digging is there, but of i
| different kind. The engineering skill
the inventive genius, the powers ol
organization, the resources that ac
compllshed the first great task, wil
J build our ships, place our men am
guns "over there." and win the war
The administration now realizes this
) Let us do our share.

Loan Films for
This Section
t
The government is furnishing spe
cial Liberty lx>an films to the movie
theaters, in order to stimulate Inter*
, i eset in the drive which starts tomor
I row. These films are from 300 to
j 1000 feet long and are enacted by the
i j leading screen stars, to be used for
I I one day only in each theatre. Cap-1
| tain Lathrop both wrote and wired j
! the director of publicity for the
Twelfth Federal Reserve for these |
films to be used on his Empress clr- J
| euit. in connection with his regular j
| program, hut thus far has been un- |
| able to secure them.
| Assistant Director H. G. ltoselmum
1 of Seattle, advises that If possible he
will send all or part of the films As
j the time is short for the drive unless
t they are now on their way from the
I States it will be Impossible to show
these patriotic pictures In time to be
I of any benefit In the loan campaign
which starts tomorrow.
Why Alaska towns are not given
the same consideration as other towns
: and cities in the states we are unable
to understand. Practically every town

top" in the last drive and Is entitled
j to every consideration In Its laudable
effort to raise money to help Cncle

Capital Stock Increase
WEALTHY MEN, many of whom have
never been in Alaska, have shown
their faith in this wonderful country
by doubling their investments in capital stock
in the BANK OF ALASKA. This means more 11
than purchasing 100 percent more stock. It
means that every stockholder taking new stock
is doubling his obligation to the depositors,
the same as the present stockholders.
with the increase will have
$170,000 CAPITAL
which is much more than any bank in the
Territory of Alaska.
You should show your faith in the country by stick
ing to Alaska unless you are called to the colors. Ctart
now in your saving and not only be prepared for all gov
ernment calls but be ready for the great reconstruction
period that will follow victory.
Your good judgment in sticking to the country will
be further shown by opening an account with the
Bank of Alaska
