Done with forbearance and patience. ! the city committee has resolved to, take ! up the task of ferreting out slackers ' without delay. In previous campaigns the shameful disclosure was made that certain citizens, abundantly able to support the Government In this war for the preservation of American honor snd ideals, had failed to answer the rallying call of the loan. Shirkers Will Be Shows. "Beginning with today." declared the conference of local loan leaders, "we will establish and perfect an organiza tlon for the sole purpose of pinning tha slackers and shirkers down to their duty, or of holding them up to the just ecorn of genuine patriots. There are to be no half-way measures. We are the t s of 4 ith- NOTICK TO CHRISTIAN SCI K ' C K . ' D OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. Some of the members of the Christian Science organizations this city apparently are w holding their subscriptions to the fourth liberty loan under the mis taken impression that they are to send their pledges to the Liberty Loan Committee through their churches. It is not the desire of the Chris tian Science Liberty Loan Com mittees that such plan be fol lowed. It is the wish of the Christian Science churches that the members hand their pledges directly to the authorized solid tors in each district. There a space provided on each pledge card for the crediting to any or ganization the subscriber wishes such credit to go. This notice will apply to all other organizations, denomina tional and otherwise. Members of organizations should not with hold their subscriptions from the authorized field workers.

From this mo ment forward, th man who shirks the ' responsibility of this investment In . freedom must waive all rights to cour teous and considerate treatment." Based on this decision a city-wide search will be instituted, aided by the - information already obtained on the questionnaires of the loan, and those who have failed in their obligations to America will have reconsideration thrust before them. Pertiaent Queries Coming. Not these alone, the men and women who have neglected utterly to lend their money to their own war, but those J who have not pledged themselves in proportions proper to their incomes and ,' their resources are to answer the per' tinent questions of patriotism. "Not one dollar, but two," is the ra tion of the fourth loan as compared ; with the third. In its answer to the '.' present, the city has shown no sign of . realizing the double duty that con- fronts every citizen. Portland, usually so prompt In mat' . ters of patriotic sacrifice, stands lag- ' gard in the fourth loan. On the basis of , pledge subscriptions now received, the :.' city would raise but $12,000,000. or J 7, " 000,000 less than the quota required. ; ' Citizens Fare Facts.

An earnest appeal Is made by the Portland liberty loan com mittee to clergymen of Portland for the aid. of the fourth liberty loan. All clergymen are asked to speak from their pulpits today of the urgency of the issue which now confronts the city. Portland must not fali in the duty of the fourth loan. Tet the city Is yet far behind its previous records, and will not at the pres ent rate attain a full quota. Every medium possible is be ing utilized to carry this message to residents. Clergymen may aid in wonderful measure by saying a few words in today's sermons. EMERY OLMSTEAD. Chairman. GUY W. TALBOT. General. the amount already raised. It is esti mated that 70 per cent of the shipyard employes have signed the pledge. Counties Doing Better. Various encouraging reports were re ceived yesterday by Campaign Manager Robert E. Smith and John L. Etheridge, state director of organizations, at state headquarters, bolstering up Mr. Ethe ridge'a sincere belief that he will win his wager with General Talbot con cerning the eventual supremacy of the outer-state counties. Late yesterday Mr. Etheridge issued the following summary of recent state returns: Grant County, Chairman" Henry Kuhl. with a quota of $144,460, re ports half that amount pledged. Hood River County, Chairman Tru man Butler, with a quota of $190,196, reports $140,000 pledged. Trie towns of Alverson and Drew- cured $15,000 at Camp No. 1. mustering not . more than 100 men.

Teach ers who desire to purchase bonds on the installment plan will be given op portunity and the bonds will remain in the custody of the school clerk until they have been paid for. School Proves Loyalty. The Peninsula School reports 100 per cent pledge organization, with a total of $1150 secured by Wednesday night Every department of the school, In cluding domestic science, manual train ing and the janitor, is included. Not content with having secured a 100 per cent subscription among Its employes, the Hosford Transfer-Com pany has organized a committee of its own, which Is rounding up many citi zens who have not subscribed and In troducing them to pledge cards. What shall I do with the interest coupons on my bonds?" Scores of times each day this ques tion is launched at George F. Nevens, official auditor at Liberty1 Temple. Mr. Nevins explains that any bank will cash the coupons on the date of .ma turity, or any time after that date. The Interest money will be immediately paid if bond-holders clip the coupons and present them at any bank. Many Portland merchants accept the coupons in lieu of cash. Belgian Realises Duty. "I am a Belgian. It is my duty." Just eight words sufficed for the answer of Mrs. Johanna Von Yeggan, of Overton street, when the liberty loan solicitor called - upon her. Her own people were in the path of th German invasion. Their sufferings were livid in her memory. A brother, employed at the wages of a skilled mechanic, left America to return and fight for the cause of his country and the allies. "No, I am not going to subscribe this time. I guess the Government can get along without my subscription. I own $1500 worth now." Thus spoke a prosperous storekeeper of an East Side residential district when the liberty loan crusaders called at his counter. But they told him that previous drives are not counted in the fourth loan, and that General Pershing's men do not tell their officers that they will loaf In the trenches because they 1 Gronp of Liberty Temple Women Workers at the Threshold of City Campaign Headquarters. 2 Signing the Record Boole at the Altar of Liberty. 3 John A.

The screen will be placed directly in front of the temple. Boy Scouts Have Rally. The Portland Council of Boy Scouts held a big liberty loan meeting in Library Hall on Friday night, where they were addressed by Charles . Berg, of Portland, and A. G. Tindolph, of Boise. Idaho.

State Campaign Manager Smith left last night for Eugene, where he joined the war trophies train. He will accom pany the exhibit during Its tour of Southern Oregon as manager of the train and expects to return to Portland on Tuesday. Every employe of the Alcazar Theater has subscribed to the fourth liberty loan. A 100 per cent subscription at the popular playhouse was announced yesterday by F. C.
