EAVE no doubt as to the patriotism of New York. L Prove to the country and to the world that behind the | men this city sends to fight are hundreds of thousands | more to back them with every dollar they need to fight. | The Second Liberty Loan campaign closes Oct. 27. i In the next ten days this great community, with its vast re- sources, its industries, its corporations, its banking institutions, its ; business houses, its mighty army of workers and wage-earners, has a chance to pile up overwhelming proof that it is back of this war. It has a chance to show that, overspreading political lines, transcending campaign issues, the patriotism of the people of New York is there, and will be there every time, with the support the Government asks for the job on hand. ; In the days that remain, New Yorkers of every class should i buy Liberty Bonds with the spirit of preparing a great demonstra- _tion to the everlasting honor of the city. To give form to that demonstration, The Evening World sug- gests a Liberty Loan Parade—in which shall march the subscribers to Liberty Bonds in Greater New York. Massed in divisions representing the trades, industries and professions, the manufacturing establishments, banking houses and business concerns whose officers and employees are now part of the Nation's supporting army of Liberty Bond buyers—with VA banners to mark the divisions apd the aggregate amounts contrib-| ~* We me nner 9 ee ——— ze = uted—such a parade would furnish proof of New York’s patriot- i ism more impressive than any civilian demonstration since Prepar- ednese Day. More impressive, in fact, than the Preparedness P: For that was patriotism rallying to a purpose. This is patriotism making good its pledge. Why not a Liberty Loan Parade? — ee LET THE CITY CONTROL ALL PUBLIC CABS. A™: CORPORATION COUNSEL HAHLO confirms wha ade. The Evening World has long contended: That the city can and should establish its authority to control the taxicab service furnished by companies which now take i] advantage of the exclusive privileges they enjoy at railroad and steam- ship terminals to charge the public excessive rates.

With a flying squadron of a few thousand men he harassed ecrans’s army night and da rever the Union forces turned: there was Joe Wheeler. When they mustered their strength to crush him, he was gone again, to strike some swift new biow. At Chickamaug Sept. 18-20, 1863, he fought what h. been called the most desperate cav- alry action of the war. Afterward Wheeler got around Rosecrans's flank, destroyed 1,200 wagons, drove off mo of the horses, and defeated a rear- guard, Wherever there was fighting, the: Joe Wheeler might be found. It said that he took part in 200 battl and more than 800 skirmishes durti the Civil War. His finest achiev ments came after Sherman assumed command in Tennessee. When that commander started his drive south- ward Wheeler hung remorselessly on his flanks and rear, cutting off sup- plies, taking prisoners, worrying and wearying the main forces, But Sher- man could not be stopped by such methods, Wheeler swung around in front of him and with his limited numbers defied the steam roller mov- Ing steadily forward. His men fought not only every day, but two or thre times a day, It was a hopeless fight which made thelr courage all. the ner. . After the war Wheeler went to Congress and took a leading part in the affairs of his country. When our conflict with Spain began the vetera! warrior promptly offered his sword, was commissioned Major General ot # Volunteers and went to Cuba tn com- mand of cavairy.
