The Government has made and is making through the Liberty Loans such large demands upon the lendable capital of the country that the banks often have been prevented from giv ing needed hell) to private entrpriss, som of which are performing vital service in connection with the war. The War Finance Corporation is de signed as a war measure to give re lief from this condition during the period of the war and Secretary Mc Adoo asserts that the mere existence of the corporation would of itself do so much to maintain confidence that its actual aid would be necessary only in relatively few cases. This is no hastily conceived legis lation. Secretary McAdoo has taken the most expert advice available and the methods adopted in the other countries at war have been thoroughly studied. The proposed law embodies the basic principles of similar laws which have been tried in Europe. Its purpose is to attain the most efficient use of our country's tremendous fin ancial resources for the Government and for private enterprises, which are all necessary to the welfare of the country and our success in this war. -----0 ALL AMERICANS CAN SERVE Every man, woman and child in this country, who wants to serve the coun try, can servn it in a very simple and effective way, Secretary McAdoo says. That service eis to letnd your money to the government. Every 25 cents loaned to the Government is a help at this time and practically every man, woman and child by making some trifling sacrifice, some denial of a pleasure, or giving up some inlul gence, can render the Government that support. Every 25 cents will do something to hell) a wounded American soldier, wounded fighting for the American people and American liberty. Every cent loaned the Government con tributes something for the safety and strenlgth andl success of our soldiers and sailors, eqtiipping them, maintain mng them, clothing thenm, feeding them, and giving them artillery and1( ammunition and al Ithings needled for their efficiency and triumph. The Secretary of the Tlreasury says thlis quest ion is he fore every A mri can--"Are you willing to help the fighting men01 of 0our nation, and in helping them to hel1p yourselves ? Are you willing in helping them andl help ing yourselves to make liberty su preme throughout the world and to mlake the atrocities, the infanmous and unlspeakable crimes against.

More than three thousand essays were submitted and the fi-st prize, a Fifty dollar Liberty Loan ia 'd, was awarded to Morris Wolf, ofp he Busi ness High School, Washington, D. C. Other contestants ranking high in or der of excellence were the Dunbar High School of Washington, the Joliet (Ill.) High School, the McKinley Man ual Training School of Washington, the Gilman School, Roland Park, Md., the Northwestern Military Academy, Wisconsin, the Deerfield IIigh School of Iighland Park, Ill., the Eastern HIigh School of Washington, and the Hindman Settlement School of Ken tucky. The essays were hinted to 600 words and every school competing was required to have a campaign for the sale of Liberty Bonds. The total sale of bonds resulting from these cam paigns went into the millions. The Gillman Country School of Maryland led the list, purchasing $60,000 worth of bonds. The National Committee of Patriot ic Societies, which has its headquar ters in Washington, will hold a simi lar contest during the Third Liberty Loan campaign and hopes to haev every high school in the United States competing.
