William C McAdoo, Secretary of the United States Treasury, in a message sent to day to the liberty loan committee for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, here, declared: "America has been forced into the conflict now convulsing the world and hopes to bring about the following results: "To prevent the destruction of our great country and to secure to respon sible peoples throughout the world the blessings of self-government. "To aid in stopping the crime against civilization which the German autoc racy has been perpetrating for three years. "To bring the world nearer the day when by agreement or .a concert of powers peace will be assured to all nations, particularly to democratic nations. ' Money Now Is Only Need. Every American, native born or nat uralized, should be willing to make every sacrifice to secure these results. Soldiers, supplies and money, backed by the unconquerable American epirit, can achieve these great objects "We will have the soldiers and the supplies if the people will furnish the money by subscribing for the liberty loan, the safest investment in the world. i - "It Is the golden opportunity for the achievement of the hope of the civilized world for a permanent peace brought about by a concert of democratic na tions." Bella to Call People to Help. Secretary McAdoo announced that in every city, town, village or hamlet beginning tomorrow, the bells in churches, schools, courthouses and town halls throughout the Nation will toll every night at 9 o'clock".

NEW YORK, June 10 Survey of the country made by the liberty loan com mittee here has revealed, It was as , serted tonight, that, while the people are awakened to the significance of the bonds, the tangible results are far from satisfactory. Americans Need Shock. "There would be a more generous response if we were In the present position of France or England," said Guy Emerson, secretary of the pub licity committee. "Seemingly, It will require food tickets, trainloads of wounded men, personal loss and other physical and mental manifestations of war to arouse the country to Its full responsibility toward this loan. "There is a refusal to realize the horrors that accompany war, because as yet they form no part of our life." Success in Campaign Forecast. James E. "West, chief scout execu tive of the Boy Scouts of America, re turning to National headquarters here after a conference with Government officials in Washington, predicted that the organization of the four-day bond selling campaign throughout the coun try would be successful.

A. R. DRAPER IS DEAD Principal of Shattuck School in Ill-Health for Year. WORK WIDELY RECOGNIZED Former Superintendent at Pendle ton, Prominent in Kducational Work Throughout State, Suc cumbs After 2 1 Years' Service. A. R. Draper, principal of the Shat tuck School since 1905, and connected with the Portland schools for 21 years, died suddenly of arteriosclerosis at 6 o'clock yesterday at his home, 442 Weldler street. While his health had been bad for the past year, he contin ued teaching until last Friday, ending A. R. Draper, Late Principal of Shat tuck School, Who Died Suddenly Yesterday. his 21 years of work in the Portland schools with a record of only three days' absence from duty. Mr. Draper was born near Windsor, Mo., 52 years ago, and came to Oregon 27 years ago. after finishing a course in Drury College, in Springfield, Mo. He first went to Pendleton, Or., where he was principal of Pendleton High School and later city school superin tendent.

OFFICE WORK." President c The Master Genius of the Automobile Industry Points Out the Direct Way to Accounting Efficiency "Efficiency" is the one word that explains the remarkable success of Mr. Durant, President of Chevrolet Motor Co. and the General Motors Co. Mr. Durant has been connected with various enterprises and has piloted them all to success. How? .Through efficiency. Through the wonderful efficiency of the man himself and the efficiency he demanded and secured in every branch of every department. The average pen-and-ink bookkeeper wastes 50 of his time guarding against errors, hunting errors and making several motions when only one was needed. Mr. Durant knew this but Mr. Durant demanded on-time figures. His own efficiency demanded efficiency in others. Result Elliott-Fisher Bookkeeping Machines were installed, not only in the main office, but also in the big plants at Flint and other points in Michigan, and at various assembly factories throughout the United States and Canada. Doing approximately 200"million dollars' worth of business in 1916, with plans for doubling the output in 1917, it is obvious that not only is accounting speed absolutely necessary, but absolute accuracy as well. - Elliott-Fisher Bookkeeping Machines provide both. A big business cannot be run with behind-time bookkeeping. The bookkeeping departments of big businesses must work on on-time schedule. To do that requires 100 efficiency in the bookkeep ing department Mr. Durant found the direct way to 100 bookkeeping efficiency in Elliott-Fisher. It will pay you to investigate, as he did, Elliott Fisher efficiency. We have the facts. They are yours on request.

He was a charter member of the Port land Education Association and of the Portland Principals' Association. At different times he was president" of each of these organizations.. Ability Widely Recognised. Mr. Draper's ability as an educator was recognized especially by his ap pointment as a member of the exam ining board of Multnomah County which has charge of licensing of teach ers for work here.

Mr. Draper had been advised by his physician to take a vacation, but he wished to finish this school year, which ends this week. He had only three working days left in this semester. Two of the three days which Mr. Draper missed from his school work during his employment in Portland were Just before last Memorial Day, when ill-health forced him to be at home.

Kelly, president of the Shattuck Parent-Teacher Association, last night paid a high tribute to Mr. Draper, saying that much of the credit won by the social workers . of the school was due to Mr. Draper's co operation.

During the four and one-half years that 1 have been president of our association, especially in the Marquam Gulch play ground fight, I have come to know Professor Draper intimately, and I feel that our school has met with a. henw vVhen I first engaged in social work here," Mrs. Kelly continued, "I found that many of the children were coming to school under-nourished, and that Mr. Draper was paying for food for them out of his own pocket, and sending them to a nearby delicatessen to eat. Later we obtained a fund for this need, but Mr. Draper's work con tinued, quietly and unostentatiously. "During the cold weather of the Winter of 1915-1916, Mr. Draper spent many nights at the school, helping to sort supplies which had been collected for the children. Whenever one of the boys or girls got into any difficulty, Mr. Draper was the first to aid. Helplns- Hand Alwaji Lent. "I remember, as one of the many cases, a. newsboy who got into trouble by making double collections from one of his customers. The matter was re ported to me and to Mr. Draper. He called the lad into his office. " 'You don't care much for school, do you?" he asked the boy, smilingly. The youngster said he hated it. " 'If I get you a good Job,' Mr. Draper asked him, 'Will you work at It and be honest? " 'Yes, ,elr," the lad replied. Mr. Draper obtained work for him end for the last two years the boy has been living right.
