In these three weeks it was proposed to raise the 'sum of 13 billion dollars, or more than half as much as was raised by five drives in the first world war. It was obvious that the task was hopeless unless the people of the nation were desperately in earnest about the war. And it was equally obvious that here was, so to speak, a thermometer by which the fervor of the people could be measured with lave reasonable accuracy.
