WASHINGTON, D. C., September 25. - Two notable additions have been made within the past few days to the list of big achievements that may be justly credited to the influence of the recent conference of colored editors and leaders in Washington. One of the direct requests of the Editors' Conference in June was that a reliable colored news-writer be sent to France to report the doings of the colored troops on the western front in France, for the Information of the anxious millions of colored Americans in this country and to the end that the correct story of the valor and pa patriotic - triotic patriotic devotion of their brethren might be told fully and in a sym sympathetic - pathetic sympathetic vein by one of their own blood and kindred. In compliance with this request, the Committee on Public Information has designated Ralph W. Tyler, of Colum Columbus, - bus, Columbus, Ohio, former auditor for the Navy Department at Washington, as a regu regularly-commissioned - larly-commissioned regularly-commissioned war correspondent, to specialize on the conditions sur surrounding - rounding surrounding the colored troops In France and to make daily reports of the ac activities - tivities activities and engagements in which the colored soldiers are prominent. He will be on the staff of General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. Every facility has been provided by Mr. Geo. Creel, director of The Committee on Public Information, for the prompt and accurate gathering of all facts that may be of interest to the colored peo people. - ple. people. First Negro to be Name War Corres Correspondent - pondent Correspondent Mr. Tyler is the first colored man to be named as a regular war corres correspondent - pondent correspondent by any government In the world. He Is a native of Ohio. For 'seventeen years he served in various departments on the Columbus Evening Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, which gave him experience in the technique of the newspaper craft and afforded him opportunity for associa association - tion association with many influential newspaper men. This intimate contact with such forces will be invaluable to him in his labors as a war correspondent. The fact that he has a wide acquaintance with correspondents now at the front, will make it possible for him to get news concerning colored troops which, perhaps, no other colored correspon correspondent - dent correspondent could secure. The claims of a number of men were fully considered in connection with this important assignment, but Mr. Tyler was finally selected as the most efficient of those available. Immedi Immediately - ately Immediately after war was declared by the United States on Germany, Mr. Tyler wrote the President, tendering his ser services - vices services in any capacity. He has three sons, all of whom are at the front In France. $5,000,000 Loan to Liberian Republic The second of this series of editorial conference achievements is the auth authorization - orization authorization by the government of a loan of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia in line with the request of the Con Conference. - ference. Conference. This fund is allotted, to aid in the rehabilitation of that country's finances, which have been reduced to a dangerously low ebb by the cessa cessation - tion cessation of trade, and to develop produc production - tion production of rice and other foodstuffs for the allies, as well as to place on the market many of the greatly-needed products with which the little over overseas - seas overseas republic abounds. Much of Li Liberia's - beria's Liberia's commerce was with Germany, and this has been totally cut off since t the former's declaration of war against the Teutons. The granting of this $5,000,000 credit through the United States Treasury had its inception several months ago when Dr. Ernest Lyon, the Liberian (Continued on pag e 4)

| | VOLUNTEER YOUR SUBSCRIPTION DO IT THE FIRST DAY i These are the two slogans with T which the campaign for the fourth and largest Liberty Loan will be j launched in Maricopa county on Sat Saturday - urday Saturday morning. The first means that ! nobody is to wait for a committee of workers to wait upon him before mak making - ing making his subscription. Just grab your i | check book, or your purse and get to : the hank Saturday morning at 10 [ o'clock and subscribe Tor your bond, j Fay ten per cent of your subscrip- j ] tion down, get your receipt, and you i j have saved busy workers lots of time j j and energy, and have put your money ! j solidly behind the boys in France. j The second slogan means that every ! j effort is to be made to roll up a big i 1 j,total in this county the first day of j | the campaign, instead of waiting un-1 j til the last night. With a much larg- er quota than ever before to be raised, and only three weeks in which to float the loan, it is absolutely neces neces[ - [ neces[ sary that the loan start with a rush from the very beginning of the cam- j paign. The colored citizens of Phoenix and j Maricopa county have always been in | the forefront in patriotic endeavor, | and with the opening of the Fourth Liberty loan campaign they will do all . in their power to help put the loan 1 over the top. In view of the splen- ; did showing the colored troops are f making in France, and the high praise i that has been bestowed upon them In j action, there is not the slightest j doubt that they will have the support |of those they left at home. As the I government is asking for twice as | much money in this loan as for the I third loan, it will be necessary for everybody to subscribe as much as | they- possibly can. "Maricopa county's quota for the . Fourth Liberty loan is $2,615,600, j practically twice the amount asked for in previous loans", said County Chair Chairman - man Chairman Joseph R. Loftus in discussing ; the quota. "That means that the people of this county are called upon to subscribe more than ever before, ( and must do it twice as quickly." I ' I ! I » reviving.

McAdoo Says This Vast Sum Is Need- | ed in Order to Re-establish Liberty and Democracy j NEW YORK, Sept. - Six billion dol dollars - lars dollars is the minimum amount which the people of the United States are asked to subscribe for the Fourth Lib Libert - ert Libert y loan, according to an announce announcement - ment announcement by William G. McAdoo, secre secretory - tory secretory of the treasury, in a stirring ad address - dress address outlining the government plan for the campaign, which starts today. The share allotted to the New York federal reserve district is $1,800,000,- 000, or 30 per cent of the greatest loan yet offered. The loan, which will bear ; j 4% per cent interest, will run for 20 years, maturing October 15, 1938, un unless - less unless the government should exercise! its reserved right to redeem the bonds on or after October 15, 1933. Lick Kaiser Without It Asserting that without this vast sum cannot lick the kaiser," the sec secretary - retary secretary made a special appeal for the 1 subscriptions of corporations and wealthy individuals, as returns from the third Liberty loan indicated that 1 wealthy corporations and persons of large means had not responded - mensurately with their ability to help." He pointed out that of the 18,000,000 Americans who subscribed for the last loan only 22,500, including corporations, bought bonds in excess of SIO,OOO. "It would be he said, say that there are only 22,500 men, I women and corporations in America j able to lend more than SIO,OOO each to their government in Liberty bonds." j Condemns This Practice Mr. McAdoo also condemned the, practice of "dishonest and unscrupu unscrupulous - lous unscrupulous and unpatriotic people who, con contrary - trary contrary to the urgent request of the treasury department, had induced holders of Liberty bonds to exchange them for stocks or investments of doubtful values." He pointed out that these opera operations - tions operations forced the treasury to buy the bonds thus thrown upon the market in order to protect the market and the credit of the government. Applauded by a crowd which filled Carnegie hall, Mr. McAdoo said, in part: Need to Carry on War "The treasury of the United States asked the American people to sub subscribe - scribe subscribe to the Fourth Liberty loan $6,- 000,000. This money is needed to car carry - ry carry on the war. We cannot lick the kaiser without it. We cannot restore peace to the world and re-establish liberty and democracy without it." o -** *l* *1- v *l* r- *** **- * DOUGLAS. ARIZONA * Rev. Edw.
