True it is that the Hamburg-Ame- r lean line and the North German-Lin- y d j kept faithful tab for Berlin on a thousand detail of our business life which j came under their observation, that not a ship left our harbor, nof a cargo , j loaded or unloaded, but that some" member of Its organization watched' ' and by reported every detail to be code to the Qprmaa government, said Mr. Garvan. But, greater than all and forming" ; the foundation or her entire espionage" and propaganda system, stood the dye . i industry. A long aa you were sup plied by the big six' your business had, no secret unknown to Berlin In Bcr-- i lln you will find a card index system which recite every- - fact connected with each and "every one of your con-- , cerns that can be of any possible value to your rival over there.

You are the Government. ' Are you going to re- - pudiate jout debts? The Victory Liberty Loan, the last Jhat the Government will ask us to buy, is lagging behind so far, that af this .1 writing it looks like Salt Lake will fail. This 'is no idle talk. I have surveyed the situation carefully and unless there is an immediate response on the part of all the people,' Salt Lake City's good record will be disgraced and the citizens will be to blame. The situation is most serious, ham willing to give my time, with "that of the other hundred workers, but we cant save Salt Lake Citys honOr unless the citizens come-- to our rescue. This is the work of every citizen, not only a few. "The Government has offered the most attractive investment proposition and there is every rea- 6on for subscribing. -- . Ilere are the facts: The first week of the drive has passed and we have only subscribed a scant Two Jlillion out, of a quota of Eight Million. In the Fourth Loan we had three times this amount in the first week and it did not include some big subscriptions which we are counting this time. About five thousand nren and women We had four have subscribed out of a population of 13O.0OO. . jTmesjis many the first week in A he last. Loan. Now the question is, are we going to fail in the last drive? Are we slackers after all or will we finish the job? Every man and wom-a- n of Salt Lake City must answer the question.

Go to your bank and subscribe at once. Now, this is my appeal.
