"COTEB-VMEXT ASKS SO GIFTS" Secretary McAdoo Delivers Ringing Address at Colorado Springs. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.. Oct. 19. Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, in his swing through the great West to urge every man, woman and child to subscribe to the second liberty loan, spoke here tonight in the interest of the campaign. A few moments be fore reaching the theater the Secretary was informed by the Associated Press that the American transport Antilles, homeward-bound, was torpedoed in the war zone October 17 and sunk with a loss of 70 lives. "If one single loan offered to the American people should fail, it would be a more fateful disaster than the loss of a great battle," Mr. McAdoo said in the course of his address. "The Government does not ask you to give a dollar. It does not ask for any gifts so far as money is concerned. It offers a superlatively safe and de sirable investment the greatest ever offered to any people." Mr. McAdoo made no reference in his address to the loss of the transport Antilles. KAISER'S SUBJECTS GET SCANT RATION Food 'Allowance Insufficient to Maintain Bodily Health and Vigor. BELGIANS ARE SUFFERING WALTER EVAN'S TALK BONDS Big Crowd Hears Portland Man at Roseburg Meeting. EOSEBURG, Or., Oct. 19. (Special.) A large audience greeted Walter H. Evans at the Antlers Theater this evening and listened to a discussion of war problems. Mr. Evans told the people why they should support the Government in the second liberty bond issue. Mr. Evans has created much en thusiasm in the county and his visit to Roseburg has given the bond cam paign a mighty impetus. He speaks at Myrtle Creek tomorrow evening, and a Roseburg delegation will go with him- He was introduced to the audi ence by Attorney James Watson. "It takes soldiers to fight this war, but they cannot successfully do so without proper financial aid," he said. "It is better to keep after the Ger mans on the other side of the waters than to have them coming over after us, which will be the case unless we support the Government liberally in these loans." Totals . .. .$1,008,686,000 $1,715,000,000 "Two billion dollars or more by to morrow night and $5,000,000,000 at the close of the campaign, October 27, is the determined slogan that is being sounded throughout the country," says the Treasury's statement tonight. "Never before in the campaign has been i-hown such grit, pluck and determina tion to triumph as are reflected in the messages received tonight from district chairmen. If the $5,000,000,000 maximum is not attained it certainly will not be through lack of effort on the part of the workers." Minneapolis Is Speeding:. Subscriptions In St. Louis and cer tain farming sections of Missouri. Mis sissippi and Tennessee were reported as "not going as well as the district com mitteemen would like." Minneapolis continued to speed swiftly ahead. At lanta and Dallas sent meager reports not over-optimistic.

They will take applications for bonds but will not handle payments. On the steps of the Treasury today Acting Secretary Crosby presented medals to Boy Scouts who had obtained subscriptions to more than 10 bonds during the first cam paign. These medals bear the imprint f the official seal of the Treasury. IiOJXBS TO CARRY MESSAGES Liberty Loan Appeals to Be Scat tered by Aviators. WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.

People In Occupied Portions of France and Belgium, It Is Said, Get Even " Less Nourish ment Than Germans. WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. Rations now allowed the German people and the civilian population of the occupied por tions of Northern France and Belgium, details of which have just reached the food administration, are insufficient to main-ain bodily health and vigor. The French and Belgians get considerably less than the amount apportioned to the German population and they get no meat except bacon. As announced today by the food ad ministration, the weekly ration to the Germans, stated in terms of American housekeeping, amounts to sufficient flour to bake four and one-half pounds of bread: one-half peck of potatoes: a cupful each of beans, peas and oatmeal; one-half pound of meat: 12 dominoes of sugar; six individual patties of butter and an equal amount of other fats. In Northern France the -weekly ra tion allows sufficient flour for five pounds of bread; one-fifth of a peck of potatoes; one cupful of cereal; 12 1-3 ounces of bacon and lard and 10 domi noes of sugar. Here meat, butter and margarine are all replaced by bacon and lard. The allowances of flour and cereals are slightly increased, but the allowance of potatoes is less than half the German ration, while their allow ance of sugar there also is reduced. Civilian Population Suffers. "The rations for the civilian popula tion in occupied portions of Belgium is similar to that of Northern France, ex cept that bacon and lard are replaced by meat and butter. The German ration, compared witn the ration used as standard for pur poses of comparison by the food ad ministration, shows that in body-building protein the Germans have .41 of a pounai, while the standard ration is 1.08 pounds," says a food administra tion statement. "In fp.ts. the German ration contains .43 of a pound, as com pared with standard .7 of :i pound. In carbo-hydrates the ilerrp:;.. i atton con tains 4.17 pounds, af txunpareil to 9.9 pound for the standard ration. In total calories, the German ration aggre gates 10,542, as compared to 24,000 in the standard ration. Rations Far From Adequate. "The standard ration is regarded as sufficient only for a person in a seden tary occupation, or one involving rela tively slight physical labor: and yet it provides two and one-half times as much body-building protein and nearly twice as much fat and nearly two and one-half times as much carbohydrates as the German ration. "On the whole, it may be said that for a person in an occupation requiring only a moderate degree of activity, these rations provide considerably less than the amounts requisite to maintain bodily health and vigor." tator's two children.

It is not only the serious diseases that so often start with a cold that make a cold the most dangerous of the minor ailments, but the fact that when a child has a cold he is much more likely to contract germ diseases, such as scarlet fever and diphtheria. For this reason every cold should be gotten rid of as quickly as possible. Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy has gained a wide reputation for its quick cures of bad colds.

Food, ammunition, clothing, supplies of every sort, count as much as men, and often more. Napoleon declared that an army fights upon its stomach. All these necessaries come down, in the last analysis, to money, and more money yours and that- of every other real American the Government must have and have at once. We are in a life and death struggle between autocracy and democracy and democracy can not win without our help. Understand this clearly. Let it sink into you, become a part of you, and then live it every, hour of every' day. r Hundreds of thousands of our best and bravest, clean-cut, splendid young Ameri cans, are being trained for immediate ser vice in the trenches. Every dollar we withhold strikes directly at the lives of these boys who are doing their bit for us. They are giving their all to the cause. If we can not fight beside them we owe it to them and to ourselves to back them with our last dollar. It can mean no more than a tempo rary pinch to us. Think for one moment what it means to them. The fight to which they go is our fight. Every one of them who falls is a sacrifice for US. He dies far away from home that WE may keep, our home,, live the life we have chosen, pursue the paths of peace in security and shelter. These young fellows who are about to risk everything that makes existence worth while in our defense are our own flesh and blood. Every one of them is YOUR son," YOUR brother, YOUR nearest anf dearest.; Let every one ol us get this fixed firmly in his mind (for it is literally true in a deeper sense than ever before in the world's history),' and he can not choose but give, just as he1 would strip himself of his last penny if his wife were dying or his child had to be. operated upon to. save its life. You personally and the nation, at large have never been in such dire, such immi nent peril as that which threatens you at this moment. This is no figure of speech, indeed there are no words in the language that can adequately bring your danger home to you. Think, of ruined Belgium, devastated-Poland, and remember that every Liberty Bond you buy is a barrier between your loved ones and such horrors as these.; It is the safest investment on earth.1 Nowhere. can earnings, savings, trust funds,' or income investments be placed so securely and you can sell your Liberty Bonds at "any time you need the money. Think of getting FOUR PER CENT. INTEREST on such ah investment! And remember that the day the war ends, these bonds will com-; mand a large premium 4 Government bonds before we entered the war were selling at $116 on the stock exchange. There never was 6uch a profitable bargain as the Liberty Bond, and money never did such glorious service.
